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.
Why is it associated with memory and learning?
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 learning, particularly in the context of age-related cognitive changes.
What does the research say?
Systematic reviews have examined Phosphatidylserine supplementation and cognitive function in the elderly, alongside randomized controlled trials on its effect on memory and learning in healthy adults, and research into its bioavailability and brain uptake.
Phosphatidylserine's role in MemoPrime
Phosphatidylserine supports the brain-cell-health angle of MemoPrime, complementing the circulatory and traditional-herb 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.
