ingredients were indeed found to be successful for assisting memory and the
brain.
FDA APPROVED CLAIM STATEMENT
In May, 2003, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced it
will allow the following claims to accompany products that contain Phosphatidyl
Serine:
"PHOSPHATIDYL SERINE MAY REDUCE THE RISK OF
DEMENTIA IN THE ELDERLY" AND "PHOSPHATIDYL SERINE MAY REDUCE THE RISK OF
COGNITIVE DYSFUNCTION IN THE ELDERLY."
Although the FDA requires the presence of an accompanying statement
reading "Very limited and preliminary scientific
research
suggests
that PS may reduce the risk of dementia [cognitive dysfunction] in the
elderly," the claim nonetheless is a landmark first for any food or
supplement and a positive association with mental illness
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Here is an interesting
email from the FDA to the offices of Dr Parris Kidd advising health care professionals on how to
share the agreed upon success of Phosphatidyl Serine(PS), the active
ingredient found in Prememlo™
with customers written prior to May, 2003:
Dear ____,
Thank you for your February 24,
2003 e-mail stating Dr. Kyle Smith's acceptance of FDA's proposal regarding
Dr. Smith's health claim petition for phosphatidylserine (Docket
02P-0413). This letter finalizes our agreement that FDA will consider
exercising enforcement discretion with respect to Dr. Smith's two proposed
claims - (1) phosphatidylserine may reduce the risk of dementia in the
elderly and (2) phosphatidylserine may reduce the risk of cognitive
dysfunction in the elderly - if they are accompanied by the following
disclaimer:
"Very limited and preliminary
scientific research suggests that PS may reduce the risk of dementia
[cognitive dysfunction] in the elderly. FDA concludes that there is little
scientific evidence supporting this claim."
The brackets around "cognitive
dysfunction" indicate that this term should be substituted for "dementia"
when the claim is about cognitive dysfunction.
As we have agreed, FDA will
consider exercising enforcement discretion with respect to
phosphatidylserine supplements that bear your health claim(s) when the
applicable disclaimer is placed immediately adjacent to and directly
beneath your claim(s), with no intervening material, in the same size,
typeface, and contrast as the claim itself.
Phosphatidylserine
(PS) supplements
bearing the claim(s) and disclaimer(s) are still required to meet all
applicable statutory and regulatory requirements under the Federal Food,
Drug, and Cosmetic Act, including the applicable requirements for health
claims.
Pursuant to this letter, we will
immediately begin considering the exercise of our enforcement discretion
for supplements that are marketed with the above-referenced health claim(s)
and disclaimer(s). We will be posting this letter on our website or
otherwise providing guidance to the public regarding our advice in this
letter.
As previously discussed, within 60
days of the date of this letter, we plan to issue the formal decision on
the phosphatidylserine health claim petition.
Sincerely Yours,
Christine Taylor, Ph.D. Director
Office of Nutritional Products,
Labeling and Dietary Supplements
Center for Food Safety and Applied
Nutrition

From the Director of the
Alzheimer's Prevention Foundation
"Emerging science has shown that it may
be possible to prevent Alzheimer's disease. There is no magic bullet,
but PhosphatidylSerine (PS) is very
effective at reversing signs of memory loss. In my clinical experience,
it's actually quite remarkable."

1) MY MOM'S TESTIMONIAL:

2) MY BROTHER'S TESTIMONIAL AT AGE
60 WAS THAT HE REMEMBERS THINGS BETTER WHEN HE TAKES PREMEMLO
3) MY SON'S TESTIMONIAL SINCE HE HAS
TAKEN IT IS THAT MORE IDEAS ARE COMING TO HIM THAN BEFORE. THINGS HE WOULD NOT
HAVE PUT TOGETHER ARE CONNECTING AND THAT HIS MOOD IMPROVES WHEN HE TAKES IT.
4) MY OWN TESTIMONY IS THAT WHEN I
HIT MENOPAUSE, THE HORMONES SENT MY MEMORY WALKING. I ALWAYS HAD A WONDERFUL
MEMORY. IT CAME BACK WITHIN DAYS OF STARTING PREMEMLO.
5) MY SISTER-IN-LAW RECENTLY TOLD ME
SHE FEELS CLEAR HEADED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN YEARS SINCE TAKING IT
6) MY FRIENDS HAVE STARTED TAKING IT
AND REORDER REGULARLY BECAUSE THEY SAY THEY ARE APPRECIATING BEING ABLE TO THINK
BETTER.
