Hi! Janet,
Seems to be the nature of researchers to suggest improvements,
where upon, their findings are meant to report things of significant
importance. Rarely will you find that they state a "cure" as to
protect their reputation, I suppose.
PS is derived from an animal product, as not from plant, vegetable,
or synthetic means. There should be caution as to it's source, as
it would be with the others. So as to it's source one should be
in warning, possibility not the PS itself.
Unless PS is found to have other treatment possibilities other
than the enhancement of memory and concentration, then I could
understand why no further studies have been made.
But that is simply my guess. <smile>
