Phosphatidylserine and the human brain: a systematic review of clinical studies
Nutrition (2015), Glade MJ & Smith K
Phosphatidylserine delivers 150 mg of phosphatidylserine (PS) per capsule, sourced from sunflower lecithin (Helianthus annuus seed) completely soy free. Each capsule is derived from 300 mg of sunflower lecithin. Phosphatidylserine is a phospholipid that forms a key structural component of neural cell membranes and is one of the most researched nutrients for memory and cognitive function support in adults.
Phosphatidylserine (PS) is a fat-soluble phospholipid found in high concentrations in the brain, where it constitutes approximately 15% of the total phospholipid content of neural cell membranes. PS plays a central role in maintaining membrane fluidity and integrity, supporting receptor function, neurotransmitter signalling, and glucose metabolism in brain cells. PS levels in the brain naturally decline with age, which is why supplementation is commonly used to help maintain cognitive health in adults.
Most phosphatidylserine supplements on the market are derived from soy lecithin. This formula uses sunflower lecithin (Helianthus annuus seed) as the phospholipid source, making it completely soy free. Each 150 mg capsule is derived from 300 mg of sunflower lecithin. This formulation is suitable for individuals with soy sensitivities or those who prefer to avoid soy-derived ingredients, without any compromise to the phosphatidylserine content or quality.
PS is one of the most extensively researched phospholipids for cognitive support in adults. It supports neurotransmitter systems involved in memory formation and recall, and helps maintain the structural integrity of neural cell membranes required for efficient neural communication. PS supplementation has been studied in the context of age related cognitive decline, memory performance, and information processing speed.
PS has been studied for its role in supporting a balanced cortisol response to physical and psychological stress. Chronically elevated cortisol is associated with impaired memory and cognitive function. PS supplementation has been investigated for its potential to support a more measured hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis response under conditions of physical and cognitive stress.
