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

This supplement contains one active ingredient: phosphatidylserine, a naturally occurring fat-like substance found in cell membranes.

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: Healthy cognition, sleep, memory, and focus.
  • We looked for evidence on: Age-related cognitive decline, Cognitive function, Attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Mental clarity, Stress response, Sleep quality.
  • 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 has possibly effective evidence for age-related cognitive decline and Alzheimer disease. For athletic performance, ADHD, general cognitive function, and dementia, the evidence we hold is not yet strong enough to rate it.

  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
