HelloPharmacist Scorecard of PS100 100 mg by Jarrow Formulas

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.

PS100 contains one active ingredient: phosphatidylserine, a naturally occurring compound in cell membranes. The product delivers 100 mg per capsule.

The capsule itself and other inactive ingredients — gelatin, cellulose, silicon dioxide, modified food starch, magnesium stearate, and antioxidants — are there to hold and preserve the phosphatidylserine.

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: brain health and cognitive support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Age-related cognitive decline, Cognitive function, Memory, Mental performance.
  • 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 Cognitive function.

Phosphatidylserine is possibly effective for age-related cognitive decline and Alzheimer disease. For athletic performance, cognitive function, ADHD, and other dementias, the evidence we hold isn't established enough to rate it.

If you're considering it for one of those other uses, talk with your pharmacist about what the research actually shows.

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, though long-term safety hasn't been fully studied. The most common side effects are flatulence, nausea, headache, insomnia, and general stomach upset.

Insomnia is more likely at higher doses (around 600 mg), and gastrointestinal upset can occur at 200–300 mg per day. The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and breastfeeding because there isn't enough information to know whether it's safe for your baby.

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

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Phosphatidylserine.

PS100 100 mg by Jarrow Formulas: Common Questions

Does PS100 100 mg by Jarrow Formulas interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, PS100 100 mg 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?
PS100 100 mg 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.
Can I take PS100 if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. There isn't enough safety information about phosphatidylserine in pregnancy or while nursing, so the data advises avoiding it. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice about whether the benefit might outweigh the unknown risk.
What side effects should I expect?
Most people tolerate it well. The main ones are flatulence, nausea, headache, insomnia, and stomach upset. Insomnia is more likely if you take a higher dose around 600 mg, and stomach upset can show up at 200–300 mg per day. Start with a lower dose if you're sensitive to supplements.
Does phosphatidylserine actually work?
For age-related cognitive decline and Alzheimer disease, the evidence says it's possibly effective. For other uses like athletic performance or ADHD, we don't have strong enough evidence to say one way or the other.
Is one capsule per day enough?
The product contains 100 mg per capsule, but the facts don't specify a recommended dose. Check the label or ask your pharmacist for the dosing guidance that applies to your situation.
Is this supplement safe long-term?
Phosphatidylserine is generally well tolerated in studies, but long-term safety hasn't been fully established. If you plan to take it for months or years, discuss ongoing use with your pharmacist.
