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 at 100 mg per softgel. Phosphatidylserine is a naturally occurring compound found in cell membranes, thought to support brain function and cognitive health.

The capsule also contains several inactive ingredients — medium chain triglyceride, bovine gelatin, glycerin, water, sunflower lecithin, silicon dioxide, mixed tocopherols, and ascorbyl palmitate — which serve as the capsule shell and preservatives.

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, Dementia, Alzheimer disease, memory, mental clarity — and 1 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Phosphatidylserine is rated "Possibly Effective" for Age-related cognitive decline (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Phosphatidylserine is rated "Possibly Effective" for Alzheimer disease.
  • Also on file: Phosphatidylserine is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Cognitive function, Dementia.

The evidence for phosphatidylserine is mixed. It's rated possibly effective for age-related cognitive decline and Alzheimer disease, meaning there's some supportive evidence but it's not definitive.

For athletic performance, ADHD, general cognitive function, and dementia, the evidence is too limited or unreliable to rate it either way — we don't have enough good data to say whether it works for those uses.

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 data is limited. The most common side effects from oral use are flatulence, gastrointestinal upset, headache, insomnia, and nausea — with gastrointestinal symptoms possible at doses around 200–300 mg daily and insomnia more likely at higher doses (around 600 mg).

There isn't enough safety information to use this supplement during pregnancy, so it's best to avoid it. Safety while breastfeeding is also unknown, so avoidance is recommended if you're nursing.

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.
What's phosphatidylserine, and why is it in this supplement?
Phosphatidylserine is a natural compound that's a building block of cell membranes, especially in the brain. It's thought to support brain function and cognitive health, which is why it's used in supplements aimed at memory and mental sharpness.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. There isn't enough safety data to use phosphatidylserine during pregnancy, so avoidance is recommended. The same goes for breastfeeding — safety is unknown, so it's best to skip it if you're nursing. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you have questions about your specific situation.
What side effects might I get from this supplement?
The most common ones are flatulence, stomach upset, nausea, headache, and insomnia. Stomach problems can show up at doses around 200–300 mg daily, and insomnia is more likely with higher doses. Most people tolerate it well, but long-term safety data is limited.
Does phosphatidylserine actually work for memory or cognitive decline?
The evidence is mixed. It's rated possibly effective for age-related cognitive decline and Alzheimer disease — meaning there's some support, but it's not definitive. For other uses like ADHD or general cognitive function, we don't have enough reliable data to say whether it works.
Why do I need to check my anticholinergic or cholinergic medications before taking this?
Phosphatidylserine is thought to increase acetylcholine levels in your body. Anticholinergic drugs block acetylcholine, so phosphatidylserine may make them less effective. Cholinergic drugs boost acetylcholine, so together they might cause too much cholinergic activity. Your pharmacist can check your specific medications to see if there's a real concern.
