L Serine

Was asked to write a review. My brother recommended this for my mother who has lewy body dementia and had night terrors and much-too-lucid dreams. From the first couple of days she took it, we noticed a difference. She was much more calm. Then after a few months of it, our credit card had been hacked and I didn't realize it or that our order wasn't coming; the night terrors began again. After a couple of days, my brother brought me a couple of them (1 pill a day) and she was back to the 'happy dream' sleep and waking state, albeit not always sweet, the panic and fear aspects of it again stopped , the product arrived and the different is apparent. Don't know if i should say all this as I can't guarantee it would help for everyone in such a way. For instance, mom's not on any drugs so there's no potential interactive conflict. All we know is that it's a superb and helpful supplement; can't imagine now how much different it would have been caring for her without this. ........ product arrived on time and I feel is definitely worth the money. Maybe I should take it myself ;-)

I purchased this product based on the article that was written in a Fortune 500 magazine about how this product LSerine can help with Alzheimer. My Mother unfortunately had this disease and I have been trying different things to either prevent or to stop this from happening to me. I worked in a high stress job and had many issues to deal with in a day and it became very taxing to remember everything to the level of detail that I was supposed to remember. I got worried so I started out taking LSerine 2 caps in the morning then I added 2 caps in the evening now I do 3 in the morning and 3 at night and I can focus, I don't feel like I am in a fog, my mind is sharper and quicker and just with the 2 in the morning after 2 weeks I could tell a difference that is why I started upping my dose. For me this product works and I am happy that I found this company that makes this product under pharmaceutical conditions.

I am using the product to improve my memory and I think its being helpful but am not sure just yet. I want to keep taking it for now.

I am glad Amazon carries this product. Trying to keep my brain healthy. This product has been highly recommended by world renowned ethnobotanist Paul Cox who created the documentary the Toxic Puzzle. . Our area was greatly affected in 2018 with blue green algae, Cyanobacteria, BMAA. Appears this is a worldwide problem and we all must be prepared.

I decided to try L-Serine after reading an article by an Ethnobotanist (Dr. Paul Cox--article in Fortune Mag) who studies plants that are used by indigenous peoples. One tribe ate flying foxes as a delicacy and had a high rate of diseases similar to ALS and Alzheimer's. The bats had a huge amount of a certain compound in their bodies which the Botanist identified as extreme toxic. For several scientific reasons, he feels that L-Serine might aid the brain in reducing memory loss. My memory is not too terrific so I'm taking L-Serine. It hasn't been that long so I really can't say I notice a huge difference yet. My L Serine in in a capsule, so no taste.

This is an experiment for me. I have read two extensive articles on this amino acid. It may or may not improve or sustain cognitive vitality. It has not been proven, but the information is out there. I am 75 and am reasonably mentally aware. I am taking it as a possible preventative. I can't write a glorious review. I have taken it for 90 days for reasons I have stated. I am going to continue to take it and I will write another review when I am 85 and perhaps the "proof will be in the pudding".

Two scientific studies (randomized double-blinded crossover studies) both “sleep initiation” and “sleep maintenance” were improved for subjects who were given L-Serine while subjects receiving a placebo did not experience any improvement. Subjective evaluation of sleep quality on waking was improved for subjects receiving the L-Serine. In addition, objective evaluation using actigraphy showed that the “number of nighttime awakenings” tended to be decreased (p = 0.08). The results of objective evaluation using actigraphy also supported these findings. These findings suggest that intake of L-serine before going to bed may improve human sleep.

Note that this formulation of L-Serine has L-Leucine listed in the other ingredients section. It gave me constipation. I was hoping for a supplement to slowly and reliably boost brain power as I age. Have now sought out an L-Serine only supplement to continue my goal.
