Benefits
Memory and cognition
Phosphatidylserine is studied for supporting memory and cognitive function, and carries an FDA qualified health claim regarding cognitive dysfunction in the elderly.
Brain-cell membrane support
As a major phospholipid in brain-cell membranes, PS supports the structure and signaling of neurons.
Stress and focus
Phosphatidylserine has also been studied for supporting a calmer stress response and mental focus.
Mechanism of action
Membrane phospholipid
Phosphatidylserine is a core component of neuronal membranes, supporting fluidity, receptor function, and cell-to-cell signaling.
Neurotransmission support
PS supports the release and activity of neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine that are involved in memory.
