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 one active ingredient: phosphatidylserine, a compound found naturally in cell membranes throughout your body. It's derived from plant sources and supplied here as a powder.

There are no other inactive ingredients listed.

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: Cognitive health support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Age-related cognitive decline, Cognitive function, Attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Memory, Mental performance, Brain function.
  • 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 disease, based on the data we hold. For athletic performance, cognitive function, ADHD, and dementia, the evidence isn't established enough to rate it either way.

If you're considering this supplement for one of those other uses, there's not yet a solid scientific case we can point to.

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 when taken by mouth, but long-term safety hasn't been fully studied. The most common side effects are flatulence, stomach upset, headache, insomnia, and nausea—and insomnia is more likely at higher doses around 600 mg.

Gastrointestinal upset can show up at 200–300 mg per day. There isn't enough safety data for pregnancy, so it's best to avoid it if you're pregnant.

Safety while breastfeeding is also unknown, so avoidance is recommended during that time too. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you if you're pregnant or nursing.
