A study at St. Cloud State University, St. Cloud, Minnesota, shows that the use of the dietary supplement PhosphatidylSerine (PS) has a positive effect on muscular stress following moderate aerobic exercise by trained runners. “It is generally accepted that creatine kinase is an indicator of cell membrane damage and necrosis of the muscle fibers,” says John Seifert, a principal investigator at St. Cloud. “Our work shows that PS supplementation results in significantly lower amounts of creatine kinase (CK) levels 24 hours after exercise. This implies that PS can help minimize muscle fiber damage caused by muscular stress.”
Another study gave Phosphatidylserine supplements to football players and discovered that the supplement gave them more stamina. What’s more, the supplement improved their sprint speed.
When cyclists where given a daily dose of 750 mg Phosphatidylserine derived from soya for a period of ten days, the same effect was observed. He also discovered that the supplementation enabled the athletes to maintain an exertion level of 85 percent of their VO2max for 30 percent longer.
