HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Phosphatidylserine Plus Phosphatidic Acid by Lipogen PS Plus

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

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 6 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (690 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.
  • “Phospholipids Complex” is a proprietary blend — the label doesn't break down how much of each component you get.
  • “Phosphatidylserine” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (100 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Lipogen PS Plus contains 6 active ingredients in a proprietary phospholipid blend: phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidic acid, and other soy phospholipids. These are all naturally occurring fats found in cell membranes that support brain and nerve function.

The softgel also contains gelatin, glycerol, and iron oxide as inactive ingredients (the capsule shell and colorant).

Does it work?

Not established
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
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Phosphatidylcholine's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: memory and cognitive support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Age-related cognitive decline, Memory, Cognitive function, Attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Dementia, Alzheimer disease — and 4 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Phosphatidylcholine is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Alzheimer disease (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Phosphatidylcholine is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Memory, Dementia.

Evidence for this product's effectiveness is limited. Phosphatidylcholine, one of the active ingredients, is possibly effective for ulcerative colitis (inflammation of the colon and rectum).

For Alzheimer disease, anxiety, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and alcohol-related liver disease, the evidence we hold is insufficient to say whether it works. The other ingredients in the blend don't have effectiveness ratings in our data.

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.

Phosphatidylcholine is generally well tolerated when taken orally. Common side effects from oral use include altered taste, bloating, diarrhea, nausea, sweating, itching, and vomiting—most often at high doses (30 grams per day or more).

A small number of people have reported these effects at smaller doses. During pregnancy, choline (which phosphatidylcholine provides) is needed, but supplement safety beyond food sources hasn't been well studied; talk with your doctor about whether this product is right for you.

There isn't enough data on use while breastfeeding; check with your healthcare provider first.

Meds to double-check

No known interactions
Known Interaction Concern · database check
No known interactions

No medication interactions are currently documented for the matched ingredients — that isn't a guarantee none exist.

Why this rating?
  • None of the 1 matched ingredient has a documented medication interaction on file.

No interactions are documented in our data for the ingredients we could check. Still, ask your pharmacist to run your exact medications through our interaction checker on this page before you start—it's your best tool for confirming this product is safe with your drugs.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.

Lipogen PS Plus is a phospholipid blend aimed at brain and nerve support, with the most evidence behind phosphatidylcholine for ulcerative colitis. If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or have any digestive conditions, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist first.

Most people tolerate it well, but watch for digestive upset, especially at higher doses.

Phosphatidylserine Plus Phosphatidic Acid by Lipogen PS Plus: Common Questions

Does Phosphatidylserine Plus Phosphatidic Acid by Lipogen PS Plus interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Phosphatidylserine Plus Phosphatidic Acid has a known interaction with 219 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Phosphatidylserine Plus Phosphatidic Acid contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
What does phosphatidylcholine do?
Phosphatidylcholine is a fat found in cell membranes that helps your brain and nerve cells function. It's the ingredient in this product with the most research behind it, and the evidence strongest for ulcerative colitis.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant?
Choline (which phosphatidylcholine provides) is needed during pregnancy, but supplement safety beyond what you get in food hasn't been well studied. Talk with your doctor to decide whether this product is right for you during pregnancy.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
There isn't enough reliable data on supplement use while breastfeeding. Speak with your healthcare provider first to get personalized advice.
What side effects might I notice?
The most common side effects from oral use are altered taste, bloating, diarrhea, nausea, sweating, itching, and vomiting—usually at high doses (30 grams per day or more), but sometimes at smaller doses too. Watch for digestive upset especially.
Does this treat Alzheimer disease or anxiety?
Phosphatidylcholine has been studied for both, but we don't have enough reliable evidence to say whether it works for either condition. If you're interested in it for those reasons, discuss it with your doctor first.
