What is Phosphatidylserine?
Phosphatidylserine is a type of fat compound (phospholipid) that makes up part of the structure of cell membranes, with particularly high concentrations in brain cells. Most modern supplements use a soy-derived form.
Why is it associated with memory and attention?
Because Phosphatidylserine is a structural component of brain cell membranes, it has been studied for its potential role in supporting the cellular processes involved in memory and attention, particularly in the context of age-related cognitive changes.
What does the research say?
Systematic reviews and meta-analyses have examined Phosphatidylserine supplementation and cognitive function in older adults, alongside randomized controlled trials on memory, attention, and the cognitive stress response.
Phosphatidylserine's role in NeuroMary
Phosphatidylserine supports the brain-cell-health angle of NeuroMary, complementing the circulatory and antioxidant components. See the full ingredients page for context.
Safety considerations
Phosphatidylserine is generally well tolerated. Consult a doctor if you take blood-thinning medication, since it may have mild effects on blood clotting.
