Los Angeles, Calif., November 3, 2009 – Tiger Woods is synonymous with intense focus on the golf course and his legendary mental concentration and ability to block out distractions has made him one of the most intense competitors in the history of golf. And while most professional golfers and average players alike will never have that level of mental focus, scientists have discovered that there are indeed natural enhancers that can boost golfers’ ability to focus, hit better shots, and ultimately improve their game.
The Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition recently reported that Phosphatidylserine (PS), an essential component of all biological membrane and required for normal cellular structure and function, can be used to positively aid a golfer’s performance. In a six week study of PS supplementation, the naturally produced element was shown statistically not to improve perceived stress levels in golfers while simultaneously providing significant improvement in the number of good ball flights during tee-off which might result in improved golf scores. In essence, adding PS to your diet may help you increase mental concentration and actually lead to better performance on and off the golf course.
PS has been established as a safe oral supplement capable of attenuating the serum cortisol and creatine kinase responses to acute exercise stress. In addition, PS has been reported to improve subjective measures of overtraining such as perceived muscle soreness and well-being. These finding suggest that PS partly counteracts the stress-induced activation of the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis.
In addition to decreasing physical stress, PS supplementation benefits subjects suffering from mental stress. PS supplementation has been reported to improve mood in a sub-group of healthy young adults when faced with a stressful mental task and blunted both serum ACTH and cortisol, and salivary cortisol responses to the Trier Social Stress Test (TSST).
