HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Phosphatidyl Serine 150 mg by Seeking Health

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 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This capsule contains one active ingredient: phosphatidylserine, at 150 mg per capsule. It is the ingredient studied in the effectiveness and safety data on this page.

The other listed ingredients are inactive ingredients, meaning they are not the active ingredient: calcium laurate, hypromellose, water, and silica.

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: cognition, memory, focus, and sleep support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Age-related cognitive decline, Alzheimer disease, Attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Cognitive function, Cognitive impairment, Dementia — and 4 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, Cognitive impairment, Dementia.

Phosphatidylserine is rated possibly effective for Alzheimer disease and for age-related cognitive decline. For premenstrual syndrome (PMS), exercise-induced muscle soreness, and attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), the reliable evidence is insufficient to rate it, so we cannot say whether it helps for those uses.

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, but its long-term safety is not fully established. Common side effects include gas, stomach upset, headache, trouble sleeping (insomnia), and nausea.

Insomnia is more likely at a 600 mg dose, and stomach upset has been reported at 200 to 300 mg a day. The safety notes advise avoiding it during pregnancy because there is not enough safety information.

Safety during breastfeeding is unknown, so avoidance is recommended. Please talk with your own doctor or pharmacist about your situation.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Phosphatidylserine

Meds to double-check

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?
  • 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.

The medication types to double-check before taking this product are anticholinergic drugs (Moderate) and cholinergic drugs (Moderate). Anticholinergic drugs may work less well with phosphatidylserine, and cholinergic drugs may have added effects.

These are theoretical interactions, so confirm your exact medications with your own doctor or pharmacist.

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 be worth discussing if you are interested in its possibly effective uses for memory-related concerns such as Alzheimer disease or age-related cognitive decline. Be more careful if you take medications that block or boost acetylcholine, if you are pregnant, or if you are breastfeeding.

Talk it over with your own doctor or pharmacist before starting, especially if you take prescription medicines.

Formula

Phosphatidyl Serine supports healthy cortisol response, cognition, sleep, memory, and focus. Phosphatidylserine (PS) may reduce the risk of cognitive dysfunction in the elderly. Very limited and preliminary scientific research suggests that PS may reduce the risk of cognitive dysfunction in the elderly. FDA concludes there is little scientific evidence supporting this claim.
