Detail Overview
Phosphatidylserine is a phospholipid that can be found in all cells but is most abundant in brain cells. This "brain nutrient" promotes cognitive function, emotional well-being, and behavioral performance.† It has also been shown to support effective memory.†1,2 In a six-month double-blind, placebo-controlled multi-center study of 425 people, daily phosphatidylserine supplementation resulted in statistically significant support of behavioral and cognitive parameters.†3 In a placebo-controlled study of 149 subjects, the group receiving phosphatidylserine outperformed the placebo group in performance tests related to daily memory tasks.†4 This sunflower-derived phosphatidylserine is provided in vegetarian capsules and is a good option for those who wish to avoid soy.
