Hello

I had probably high cortisol issues and currently im working out some things which i mentioned in this topic http://www.longecity.org/forum/topic/99007-feeling-wonderful-at-night-kind-of-brainfog-and-probably-photophobia-in-the-day-whats-the-reason/ 

 

Few months ago i tried some herbs: rodhiola rosea, ashwagandha(they didnt work good, made me sleepy and tired) to lower cortisol levels because i felt horrible in the mornings. Now i feel all day a lot better but i remember that when i took 200mg of Phosphatidylserine at about 16:00-17pm i felt horrible - dizzy and depersonalized + i took it hour before shopping so bright shops lamps made me feel even less comfortable.

 

Today i took 100mg of slightly expired Phosphatidylserine at around 16:20 with coffee, magnesimum with b6 and b12 100mcg - it gave me kinda brainfog for 30 minutes but then i felt memory improvement and verbal fluency as in the evenings( i described everything in the topic Feeling wonderful at nights..).

 

Why would it work so good now when it gave me mostly side effects when i took it before?

 

For 99% i dont have megnesimum deficency(had blood test it was all ok) and b12 but by some reason when i take it with coffee it makes my mind clearer and makes my mood better.

i don't know what to tell you except i had a bizarre encounter with Phosphatidylserine. first time i took it i had extremely vivid dreams all night and woke up exhausted. that continued for 3 nights and i had to stop taking it because of exhaustion. when i restarted that a week later, no effects whatsoever. the most unusual supplement from all i tried (except for psychodelics of course).

It seems like Phosphatidylserine is a molecule that targets various systems in human body.
If there is something out of whack... it will try to bring you to balance. If nothing is broken, it wont do anything.

That is why people over 40 or 45 find it more effective and get more out of it. This molecule is still not understood well by science on an intricate level, its epigenetic and non obvious impact still eludes our understanding of it.
I use the one which is Soy Free (Toniq on amazon... and there are others too). I use it regularly and i am 48.
I use 50 to 150 mg with Alpha GPC, Alpha Lipoic Acid and Fish Oil as needed. This combo is working for me on so many levels.
So if you are a 25 year old, it might be of no use to you. Once you are done with all the alcohol, drugs and insane amount of noots and you are 40... start on PS!
No supplement will work if you burden your cells. You need very clean CELLS to have a tip top body and mind!

I’ve actually had the same question myself.  I take ALCAR, r alpha lipoid and alpha gpc fasting in the morning and have considered adding PS complex to that.  I have been taking PS in the evening with the logic that I sometimes take Beef Organs and have turkey for lunch during the day which prob has PS.  I think maybe best to take at night if you do a 12+ hour fast each day since you’ll get some from your diet during the day ideally.  All anecdotal.
