Supports Mental Acuity, Working Memory, and Healthy
Phospholipid Balance in Cell Membranes
Phosphatidylserine is a phospholipid that can be found in all cells but is most abundant in brain cells. This "brain nutrient" promotes cognitive function, emotional well-being, and behavioral performance. It has also been shown to support effective memory. In a six-month double-blind, placebo-controlled multi-center study of 425 people, daily phosphatidylserine supplementation resulted in statistically significant support of behavioral and cognitive parameters. In a placebo-controlled study of 149 subjects, the group receiving phosphatidylserine outperformed the placebo group in performance tests related to daily memory tasks. This sunflower-derived phosphatidylserine is provided in vegetarian capsules and is a good option for those who wish to avoid soy.

This soy-free formulation has shown efficacy in sharpened attention and healthy response to stress. Phosphatidylserine, the most abundant phospholipid in the human brain, supports neuronal cell integrity by providing the building blocks needed for cell membrane structure and function. It has also been documented to increase the availability of choline for the synthesis of acetylcholine, an important neurotransmitter involved in memory and learning. Several clinical trials have shown that PS supplementation supports cognitive function in children with attention-related issues and in aging individuals. It has also been clinically shown to support healthy endocrine and adrenal responses to mental stress.
