HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Pedi-Active Delicious Mixed Berry Flavor by NaturesPlus

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 5 of its 5 active ingredients.
  • “Phosphatidylserine-rich purified Soy Lecithin concentrate” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (100 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Pedi-Active contains 5 active ingredients: phosphatidylserine, DMAE (deanol), phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylserine-rich purified soy lecithin concentrate, and cephalin. Phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylcholine are phospholipids—fatty compounds that are thought to support brain and nerve function.

DMAE is a compound believed to affect neurotransmitter levels. The product also contains inactive ingredients including fructose, stearic acid, natural berry flavors, silica, magnesium stearate, and beet juice.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Memory and cognitive support for active children.
  • We looked for evidence on: Memory, Cognitive function, Age-related cognitive decline, Attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Pediatric brain health, Neuronutrient support.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Phosphatidylserine is rated "Possibly Effective" for Age-related cognitive decline (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Phosphatidylcholine is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Memory.
  • Also on file: Deanol is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Cognitive function.

The evidence for these ingredients is mixed. Phosphatidylserine is rated possibly effective for age-related cognitive decline and Alzheimer disease, but the evidence for athletic performance, ADHD, overall cognitive function, and dementia is insufficient.

DMAE is rated likely ineffective for Alzheimer disease and tardive dyskinesia (a movement disorder), and evidence is insufficient for aging skin, athletic performance, and ADHD. Phosphatidylcholine is possibly effective for ulcerative colitis, but evidence is insufficient for fatty liver disease, alcohol-related liver disease, Alzheimer disease, and anxiety.

For most other uses, we don't have established effectiveness data in our records.

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 3 of the 3 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 3 of 3.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 3 of 3.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylcholine are generally well tolerated orally, though side effects can occur. Phosphatidylserine may cause flatulence, stomach upset, headache, insomnia (especially at higher doses like 600 mg), and nausea.

Phosphatidylcholine may cause bloating, diarrhea, altered taste, nausea, vomiting, and increased sweating—particularly if you take very large doses. DMAE may cause abdominal cramps, pain, diarrhea, drowsiness, nausea, or vomiting; at doses above 1000 mg daily, it has been reported to cause mood changes (depression or elevated mood) in people with psychiatric conditions, and to worsen schizophrenia symptoms.

For pregnancy: Phosphatidylserine safety data is not sufficient, so avoidance is recommended. DMAE safety is also not well studied; animal research raises concerns, so avoidance is advised.

Phosphatidylcholine contains choline, which is needed in pregnancy, but supplement safety beyond food sources isn't well established—talk with your doctor. For breastfeeding: safety data for phosphatidylserine and DMAE is unknown and avoidance is recommended; for phosphatidylcholine, there isn't enough reliable data on supplement use, so check with your healthcare provider first.

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 2 of the 3 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Deanol, Phosphatidylserine.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 219 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Check with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product if your child takes anticholinergic drugs (for overactive bladder, muscle spasms, or other conditions) or cholinergic drugs (for myasthenia gravis or Alzheimer disease). Phosphatidylserine and DMAE can theoretically reduce how well anticholinergics work or intensify cholinergic effects.

The search tool below lets you enter your child's exact medications to see if any are affected.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Pedi-Active is marketed to support children's cognitive function, but the evidence for most claims is limited or insufficient. Its main concern is interaction risk if your child takes anticholinergic or cholinergic medications.

Before starting this product, talk with your child's doctor or pharmacist—especially if they're on any prescription, including medications for bladder control, muscle stiffness, myasthenia gravis, or Alzheimer disease.

Pedi-Active Delicious Mixed Berry Flavor by NaturesPlus: Common Questions

Does Pedi-Active Delicious Mixed Berry Flavor by NaturesPlus interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Pedi-Active Delicious Mixed Berry Flavor has a known interaction with 219 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Pedi-Active Delicious Mixed Berry Flavor contains 3 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Is this safe for my child during pregnancy?
No—this product is not recommended during pregnancy. Phosphatidylserine and DMAE lack sufficient safety data and should be avoided. While phosphatidylcholine contains choline (which is needed in pregnancy), supplement safety beyond food sources isn't well established. Talk with your doctor before use.
Can I give this while breastfeeding?
Safety data for breastfeeding is not available for these ingredients, so avoidance is recommended. Speak with your healthcare provider first.
What are the most common side effects?
For phosphatidylserine: flatulence, stomach upset, headache, insomnia, and nausea. For phosphatidylcholine: bloating, diarrhea, altered taste, nausea, vomiting, and increased sweating. For DMAE: abdominal cramps and pain, diarrhea, drowsiness, nausea, and vomiting. Side effects are generally mild, but high doses raise the risk.
Does this really help with ADHD?
The evidence isn't established. Phosphatidylserine is rated as having insufficient reliable evidence for ADHD, and DMAE is also rated insufficient—we don't have strong data showing it works for this purpose.
Can my child take this with their allergy medication?
Many allergy medications are anticholinergics, which can interact with phosphatidylserine and DMAE in this product. Use the search tool on this page to check your child's exact medication before starting, and confirm with your pediatrician or pharmacist.
What is DMAE for?
DMAE is a compound believed to affect neurotransmitter levels in the brain. However, research shows it is likely ineffective for Alzheimer disease and tardive dyskinesia, and evidence is insufficient for other uses like ADHD or athletic performance.
