HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Phosphatidyl Serine 100 mg by Bluebonnet

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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Sep 3, 2026

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 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • “Phosphatidylserine Complex” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (500 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This product contains one active ingredient: phosphatidylserine 100 mg per softgel. Phosphatidylserine is a compound naturally found in cell membranes throughout the body, particularly in the brain.

The softgel is made with gelatin, glycerin, purified water, and sorbitol as inactive ingredients.

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: brain health, memory, and cognitive function.
  • We looked for evidence on: Age-related cognitive decline, Alzheimer disease, Cognitive function, Dementia, Attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Mental performance — and 3 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Phosphatidylserine is rated "Possibly Effective" for Age-related cognitive decline (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Phosphatidylserine is rated "Possibly Effective" for Alzheimer disease.
  • Also on file: Phosphatidylserine is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Cognitive function, Dementia.

Phosphatidylserine is possibly effective for age-related cognitive decline and Alzheimer disease based on the data we hold. For athletic performance, attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), general cognitive function, and dementia, the evidence available isn't strong enough for us to rate it one way or the other.

If you're interested in trying it for any of these purposes, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist to see if it fits your situation.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Phosphatidylserine

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 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Phosphatidylserine is generally well tolerated in studies, though long-term safety isn't fully established. The most common side effects are flatulence, gastrointestinal upset, headache, insomnia, and nausea.

Insomnia is more likely at higher doses (around 600 mg), and gastrointestinal upset can occur at doses of 200–300 mg per day. There isn't enough safety data to know whether phosphatidylserine is safe during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

If you're pregnant, nursing, or planning either, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product.

Known Interaction Concern · database check

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

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — 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.

Before taking this product, check your medications with your doctor or pharmacist if you take anticholinergic drugs (for dry mouth, urinary retention, or overactive bladder) or cholinergic drugs (for myasthenia gravis or Alzheimer disease) — both Moderate-severity concerns. Phosphatidylserine may affect how these work.

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.

Phosphatidyl Serine might help with age-related memory changes or early Alzheimer disease, though the evidence is modest. If you take anticholinergic or cholinergic medications, check with your pharmacist or doctor before starting — this product could theoretically interfere with how they work.

Most people who take it tolerate it well, but watch for nausea, stomach upset, or sleep trouble. Have a conversation with your own healthcare provider to see if it makes sense for you.

Phosphatidyl Serine 100 mg by Bluebonnet: Common Questions

Does Phosphatidyl Serine 100 mg by Bluebonnet interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Phosphatidyl Serine 100 mg 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?
Phosphatidyl Serine 100 mg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism 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.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety data for us to say it's okay during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. The facts we have recommend avoiding it in both situations. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized guidance based on your health.
What are the most common side effects?
Flatulence, nausea, stomach upset, headache, and insomnia are the most frequently reported. Insomnia is more likely at higher doses (around 600 mg), and stomach upset can show up at 200–300 mg per day. Most people tolerate it well overall.
Does this really help with memory?
For age-related cognitive decline and Alzheimer disease, the evidence suggests it possibly helps — but it's not a slam dunk. For general memory, ADHD, or other brain issues, we don't have strong enough evidence to say either way.
Is this safe to take long-term?
Phosphatidylserine is generally well tolerated in studies, but long-term safety hasn't been fully established. If you're thinking of taking it regularly, that's a good question to discuss with your doctor or pharmacist.
What does phosphatidylserine actually do?
Phosphatidylserine is a compound found in cell membranes throughout your body, especially in the brain. It's thought to work by increasing acetylcholine levels, a chemical involved in nerve communication and memory.
