Relentless Improvement 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 tried this product because of the interest in using l-serine to combat neurotoxins. It seemed to have a very subtle effect at first, but I had already taken many steps to eliminate brain fog (and was successful), so I took this more out of curiosity to see what it might do. It seemed to aggravate some of my neurologically-based issues (an intermittent head tremor and trouble with overactive bladder) and caused my latent herpes simplex virus to start coming back (serine acts in partnership with arginine, and arginine can activate latent herpes viruses), so I had to stop taking this serine right away and had to temporarily increase my l-lysine intake to get it to recede.In this case, I do feel the product itself is of high quality and reasonably priced, but I had to give it one star simply because it caused problems for me and it didn't seem to benefit me in any way that I could see. In the studies where l-serine was used to combat neurotoxins, the dosage was MUCH higher and was being done in supervised conditions, so while this lower dose might not be harmful to most people who do not have herpes issues, I think it may not help much, either. Caveat emptor!

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.

I used this product to enhance brain functioning. After seven to nine days my brain fog was gone, I seem to be lessforgetful. My brain has a sense of focus and continuity. After twelve days I stopped taking the product and my brainfunctioning has stayed the same. Now, I'm writing three weeks after the last post. I take one capsule once a weekand my brain focus and memory are doing well.

We've been taking it for over 2 years now. Both of us are healthy, so if it's keeping us that way there is no way to tell at this point. Our main reason was a suggestion that it can help prevent Alzheimer's... an ounce of prevention?

This supplement keeps my mood normal. I feel more grounded and overall brighter outlook. I highly recommend. Especially if you can’t take anti-depressants like me, this worked so well for me.
