HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Phosphatidyl Serine 100 mg by GNC

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.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: phosphatidylserine 100 mg per softgel capsule. Phosphatidylserine is a naturally occurring compound found in cell membranes, often derived from soy.

The remaining ingredients are inactive — soy lecithin, gelatin, glycerin, annatto color, titanium dioxide, and sunflower lecithin — which serve as the softgel capsule material and are not meant to have a therapeutic effect.

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 function and nervous system health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Age-related cognitive decline, Cognitive function, Attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), mental performance, stress resilience.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Phosphatidylserine is rated "Possibly Effective" for Age-related cognitive decline (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Phosphatidylserine is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Cognitive function.

Phosphatidylserine is possibly effective for age-related cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease, according to the evidence we hold. For athletic performance, ADHD, general cognitive function, and dementia, there isn't enough reliable evidence yet to rate how well it works.

If you're considering this for one of those conditions, talk with your doctor about whether the evidence 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 hasn't been fully established. The most common side effects are flatulence, stomach upset, headache, insomnia, and nausea — and insomnia is more likely at higher doses (around 600 mg).

Stomach upset can happen at doses of 200–300 mg per day. There isn't enough safety information to recommend this product during pregnancy, so it's best to avoid it if you're pregnant.

Safety while breastfeeding is unknown as well. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning either.

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 GNC Phosphatidyl Serine, talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you use anticholinergic drugs (for overactive bladder, Parkinson's, or other conditions) or cholinergic drugs (for myasthenia gravis, glaucoma, or Alzheimer's) — phosphatidylserine may reduce the anticholinergics' effectiveness or add to the cholinergics' effects, both at Moderate severity. Use the medication checker on this page to verify your exact medications.

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.

This supplement may help with age-related memory loss or Alzheimer's, though evidence is still limited. If you take anticholinergic or cholinergic medications, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting — the supplement could interfere with how those drugs work.

Side effects are usually mild but can include stomach upset and insomnia. Discuss it with your own healthcare provider to see if it's right for you.
