My experience with Phosphatidylserine...

I've been taking the soy version of this supplement at a 600mg dose every day for about a month. It is definitely doing something, but I can't really tap my finger on it. Since I've taken it feels like I've become dumber. The reason I I'm still using this is for its anxiolytic effects, which have become pretty apparent. In the first week of supplementation, the anxiolytic aspects of the chemical gave me a small but significant increase in focus and motivation without any slowing down of my thoughts. But recently I've begun to have that slow loopy feeling you get from a recreational dose of valium(I have only done benzos on several occasions). I'm relaxed and content, but there is a lot less going on upstairs than there used to be. I know that Phosphatidyslerine is a cortisol blocker, so maybe my cortisol has gotten really low? I'm guessing that can lead to excessive calmness.

Maybe I'm just not used to living without overthinking everything. I used to be very anxious. At any rate, I would really appreciate your opinions as to whether this is a legitimate concern.

Most of the evidence for the beneficial effects were using the bovine sources. However, that does not mean the soy based stuff does not have benefits as well.
