Micro Ingredients L Serine Powder, 500 Grams (250 Day Supply)

This is a white powdered supplement that you add to food or drink. It comes in a resealable bag and one scoop gives 2g. of L-Serine. When using the supplied 1 teaspoon scoop to add the product to a liquid, there is no noticeable taste. However, when using 1 tablespoon, there is a slightly sweet taste. It leaves an aftertaste reminiscent of artificial sweeteners. We have been adding it to coffee and tart cherry juice. Despite the aftertaste, we continue to use the product for its health benefits and have observed positive results. After two weeks of use, the outcomes are favorable, and we intend to continue purchasing the product. Since we are not doctors Amazon stops us from telling you any medical conditions. But other supplements like Prevegen and Neuriva did not give us the same results.

Purchased this due to numerous medical studies and related popular articles indicating a sufficient level of L-Serine would help with onset of dementia, ALS, brain health, cognition due to preventing misguided protein folding in neurons and potentially longevity. Thought it might help with a car-accident head injury and related cognitive, balance, numbness, and phantom pain effects. Worth a try. Studies have apparently shown there is no toxicity at 30 g per day, which I am not going to approach. As far as this product, it is well packaged and seems quite fresh, dry, granular like sugar. easy to use with a measured scoop. As far as it's purity, I am not a clinical laboratory. I have noticed improvement in the effects from the car accident including cognition. Not sure if that's a placebo effect. I put it in my coffee, juice, yogurt, etc. As far as potential benefits, one study summary states, "Our hypothesis that the high l-serine content of the Ogimi diet is related to the paucity of tangle diseases among villagers is buttressed by in vivo results with non-human primates where dietary l-serine slowed development of neurofibrillary tangles and β-amyloid plaques by up to 85% and a human clinical trial finding that l-serine at 15 grams/day twice daily slows functional decline in ALS patients. Analysis of the Ogimi diet suggests that l-serine should be evaluated for therapeutic potential as a neuroprotective agent." Look up others at your leisure.

Not sure about any mental acuity progress so far, but I am sleeping better. I don't take the full amount, as one of the side effects can be constant diarrhea, and I don't want to go there. So I take about 1/2 the recommended amount. I just mixi it up in about 1/2 cup of water and drink it down. I don't notice any taste.

Perfect

It seems to be very pure and evenly textured. Sadly the taste is tough to handle but I'm certain that's what you get when you use L-Serine. Mixing it in a small amount of luke-warm water, then adding cold club soda, ice and a water enhancer works pretty well. The price has increased in the last couple of years - but then again, what hasn't? I have always gotten the produce quickly and with no quality issues.

It's to early to know if this product improves memory.

I started looking into L-Serine because I read the Fortune article "Alzheimer's Disease Cure Breakthrough" and thought why not. I tend to prefer powders that I can mix in my coffee and my daughter's juice if I'm giving it to her, so I checked this one out and saw a bunch of reviews about it helping with sleep so I had to get it! My daughter has behavioral problems (maybe ADHD) and days after she gets good sleep her behavior is improved, so we got her melatonin to help her go to sleep and it totally has improved our night time routine, but she still gets up in the middle of the night and climbs into our bed and snuggles up against me more that I would like and then I would wake up and not be able to get back to sleep. I wear an Oura ring and it told me that my deep sleep was horrible. I've been putting one scoop in my coffee in the morning and since I've been taking it I've not had problems falling back to sleep, my Oura ring reports that my deep sleep is good and I've been waking up feeling way more refreshed than I have since having my daughter (she's almost 6). I've been adding it to her juice in the morning, but she doesn't always drink it so it's hard to know if she's been getting it. I'm not sure if she's coming in later, she may be, but either way it's disrupting me less! I tried it in water when I got it and I mix it into my black coffee and as long as I actually mix it I can't taste anything (I once didn't mix it and had a bit of a salty taste at the end of my cup of coffee).

The WKU Herald is reporting a story about ethnobotanist Paul Alan Cox whose research looking at the Ogimi people of rural Japan, suggests that a diet high in the amino acid L-serine may provide neuroprotection and even delay Alzheimer’s disease onset until very late in life. According to Cox “If we dose early, we can push off Alzheimer’s until you’re 115 to 120 years old,” According to the article, the "standard Ogimi diet consists of various types of seaweed, tofu and pork, and is the highest diet ever measured in L-serine". So, you may want to follow the clinical trials that are underway at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. I take at least one Tbsp (15 grams) as a dose per day, sometimes twice, one in the morning & one in the evening before bed. I dissolve it into 3 oz of warm water and choke it down. The clinical trial used 3 Tbsp per day per patient. I'm 67 yrs old and I now know, after going through my first 1.1 lb (500 g) package that it works for me! And, I'm shocked. I can really feel an 'edge' has come back, and not that I feel like I really needed it. All my testing, lab work and evaluations are showing that I still have all my cognitive faculties intact. But, there really is 'something' to this. Give it a try, especially since we've all got a lot to lose if we don't, and maybe a lot to gain if it does.
