HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Phosphatidyl Serine Complex 1500 mg by DC

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 has one active ingredient: phosphatidylserine at 1500 mg per softgel. Phosphatidylserine is a fatty substance (phospholipid) found naturally in cell membranes, including those in your brain.

The capsule itself is made from gelatin, vegetable glycerin, and natural caramel color.

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

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded Phosphatidylserine's overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports Phosphatidylserine for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredient's overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Age-related cognitive decline — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Alzheimer disease — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

Phosphatidylserine is rated possibly effective for age-related cognitive decline and Alzheimer disease based on available evidence. For athletic performance, ADHD, general cognitive function, and dementia, the evidence isn't yet established well enough to rate it.

If you're looking at this product for one of those other uses, the science doesn't yet support a clear benefit.

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 data aren't complete. The most common side effects reported are flatulence, gastrointestinal upset, headache, insomnia, and nausea — with higher doses (around 600 mg) more likely to trigger insomnia and lower doses (200–300 mg daily) more likely to cause stomach upset.

There isn't enough safety data to know if this product is safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding. The safety data available advises against use in both situations.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about your personal situation before taking it if you're pregnant or nursing.

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.

Before taking this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take anticholinergic drugs (for bladder control, certain eye conditions, or Parkinson disease) or cholinergic drugs — phosphatidylserine may interfere with how both work. These are Moderate-severity interactions, so they're worth clearing first.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product may help with age-related memory loss or Alzheimer disease based on current evidence, though long-term safety is still being studied. If you take anticholinergic or cholinergic medications, you'll need to check with your own doctor or pharmacist first — the interactions are real enough to matter.

Pregnant or nursing? Skip it unless your healthcare provider says otherwise.

Give it a real conversation with your pharmacist before you start.
