HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Phosphatidyl Serine Complex 1500 mg by Wonder Laboratories

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 product contains a single active ingredient: phosphatidylserine complex at 1,500 mg per softgel. Phosphatidylserine is a naturally occurring compound found in cell membranes that plays a role in brain function and cell communication.

The softgel also contains gelatin, vegetable glycerin, and polyglycitol syrup as inactive ingredients to form and preserve the capsule.

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 possibly effective for age-related cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease according to available evidence. For athletic performance, attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), general cognitive function, and dementia, the evidence isn't strong enough yet to rate its effectiveness.

Talk with your doctor about whether it might help with your specific concern.

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, gastrointestinal upset, headache, insomnia, and nausea.

Insomnia is more likely at higher doses (around 600 mg), and gastrointestinal upset can show up at doses of 200–300 mg per day. There isn't enough safety data to recommend this product during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

If you're pregnant, nursing, or planning to become pregnant, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it.

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 (used for overactive bladder, Parkinson's disease, and some motion sickness treatments) or cholinergic drugs (such as Alzheimer's treatments or myasthenia gravis medications). Phosphatidylserine may reduce how well anticholinergics work or add to the effects of cholinergic drugs.

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.

Phosphatidylserine might be worth considering if you're interested in supporting age-related memory or Alzheimer's concerns, but it can theoretically interfere with anticholinergic and cholinergic medications. If you take any medication for bladder, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, or myasthenia gravis, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.

Stomach upset and insomnia are the side effects most people notice.

Where does this information come from?

What is phosphatidylserine and what does it do?

It's possibly effective for age-related cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease based on available evidence. For other memory or focus issues like ADHD, the research isn't strong enough yet to say whether it helps.

It depends on what you take. Phosphatidylserine can theoretically interfere with anticholinergic drugs (for bladder and Parkinson's) and may add to the effects of cholinergic drugs (for Alzheimer's and myasthenia gravis).
