HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Phosphatidylserine + Bacopa monnieri by X Gold 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.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This product contains two active ingredients: phosphatidylserine and bacopa monnieri leaf extract. Phosphatidylserine is a natural compound thought to support brain cell function, while bacopa is a traditional plant extract used in herbal medicine for cognition.
The capsule also contains cellulose as an inactive ingredient.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
Phosphatidylserine shows possibly effective evidence for age-related cognitive decline and Alzheimer disease. Bacopa's evidence is less established — the data we hold rates it as insufficient evidence for Alzheimer disease, cognitive function, ADHD, back pain, sexual dysfunction, and cognitive impairment.
Neither ingredient has strong proof for the conditions we can evaluate.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Both ingredients are generally well tolerated in studies, though long-term safety data are limited. Common side effects from bacopa include abdominal cramps, diarrhea, dry mouth, headache, nausea, and drowsiness; gastrointestinal upset happens in 12–30% of users.
Phosphatidylserine may cause flatulence, nausea, headache, and insomnia (more likely at higher doses). Neither ingredient has enough safety information during pregnancy, so the data advises avoiding both during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Check your medications against these drug types before taking this product: anything metabolized by CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, or CYP3A4 liver enzymes (Moderate); anticholinergic drugs like certain allergy or urinary medications (Moderate); cholinergic drugs (Moderate); cevimeline for Sjögren syndrome (Moderate); and thyroid hormone (Minor). The checker on this page will tell you if any of your prescriptions match.
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.
If you're interested in brain health and don't take medications that interact with liver enzymes or cholinergic drugs, this product may be worth a discussion with your pharmacist. The evidence is strongest for phosphatidylserine in age-related decline.
Before you start, run your full medication list through the checker on this page — bacopa especially interacts with a very wide range of drugs.

Phosphatidylserine + Bacopa monnieri by X Gold Health Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Phosphatidylserine + Bacopa monnieri by X Gold Health contains two active ingredients that both have documented interactions with medications.
The most serious concern involves bacopa's potential to inhibit several liver enzymes (CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, and CYP3A4) — each rated Moderate severity — which could theoretically increase the levels and side effects of medications metabolized by those pathways. The research is mixed on how significant this effect is in real life, but it's something to check before you start.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Both ingredients may interact with anticholinergic drugs (like some urinary or allergy medications) and cholinergic drugs by interfering with or amplifying their effects. Bacopa also has a specific Moderate interaction with cevimeline (Evoxac, used for Sjögren syndrome), documented in one case where a patient developed sweating, nausea, and a fast heartbeat shortly after taking bacopa.
Additionally, bacopa may have Minor additive effects with thyroid hormone.
Altogether, these interactions span 919 individual medications. Use the medication checker below to look up your exact prescriptions before you take this product.

For each ingredient in Phosphatidylserine + Bacopa monnieri with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Bacopa monnieri Leaf Extract
Anticholinergic Drugs
Theoretically, concurrent use might decrease the effectiveness of both agents.
Bacopa seems to inhibit acetylcholinesterase and might increase acetylcholine levels, which could counteract the effects of anticholinergic drugs. Similarly, anticholinergic drugs might counteract the cholinergic effects of bacopa.
Cevimeline (Evoxac)
Theoretically, bacopa might increase the effects and adverse effects of cevimeline.
In one case, a 58-year-old female taking cevimeline long-term for Sjogren syndrome experienced hyperhidrosis, malaise, nausea, and tachycardia shortly after taking a single dose of bacopa. Symptoms resolved after two days. Cevimeline is metabolized by cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2D6 and CYP3A4, and researchers theorize that bacopa may have inhibited these isoenzymes. However, it is unclear if bacopa causes clinically significant inhibition of either CYP2D6 or CYP3A4.
Cholinergic Drugs
Theoretically, concurrent use of bacopa with other cholinergic drugs might have additive effects.
Bacopa seems to inhibit acetylcholinesterase and might increase acetylcholine levels. Theoretically, this could result in additive cholinergic effects when used with cholinergic drugs.
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates
Theoretically, bacopa might increase the levels and adverse effects of CYP1A2 substrates.
Research on the effects of bacopa extracts on CYP1A2 enzymes is conflicting. Some in vitro evidence shows that bacopa extract can moderately and non-competitively inhibit CYP1A2, while other in vitro evidence suggests that any effect is unlikely to be clinically significant.
Cytochrome P450 2C19 (Cyp2C19) Substrates
Theoretically, bacopa might increase the levels and adverse effects of CYP2C19 substrates.
In vitro evidence suggests that bacopa extract can moderately and non-competitively inhibit CYP2C19 enzymes. It is not known whether this is clinically significant.
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates
Theoretically, bacopa might increase the levels and adverse effects of CYP2C9 substrates.
Research on the effect of bacopa extracts on CYP2C9 enzymes is conflicting. Some in vitro evidence suggests that bacopa extract can moderately and non-competitively inhibit CYP2C9, while other in vitro evidence suggests that any effect is unlikely to be clinically significant.
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates
Theoretically, bacopa might increase the levels and adverse effects of CYP3A4 substrates.
Research on the effects of bacopa extracts on CYP3A4 enzymes is conflicting. Some in vitro evidence suggests that bacopa extract can moderately and competitively inhibit CYP3A4, while other in vitro evidence suggests that any effect is unlikely to be clinically significant.
Thyroid Hormone
Theoretically, bacopa might have additive effects when used with thyroid hormone.
Animal research suggests that bacopa increases thyroxine (T4) levels in mice by about 40%.
Phosphatidylserine
Anticholinergic Drugs
Theoretically, phosphatidylserine might decrease the effectiveness anticholinergic drugs.
Phosphatidylserine is thought to increase acetylcholine levels, which could theoretically interfere with the activity of anticholinergic agents.
Cholinergic Drugs
Theoretically, phosphatidylserine might have additive effects with cholinergic drugs.
Phosphatidylserine is thought to increase acetylcholine levels, which could theoretically lead to additive cholinergic effects when used with cholinergic drugs.
