What is Phosphatidylserine?
Phosphatidylserine is a type of fat compound (phospholipid) that makes up a significant part of brain cell membranes, playing a structural role in how brain cells function and communicate.
Why is it associated with memory?
Because Phosphatidylserine is a natural component of brain cell membranes, researchers have studied whether supplementing with it can support the membrane health and function associated with memory and learning.
What does the research say?
Systematic reviews have examined Phosphatidylserine supplementation and cognitive function in older adults, its use in age-related cognitive decline, and its effect on memory and learning in healthy adults through randomized controlled trials.
Phosphatidylserine's role in MemoVex
Phosphatidylserine supports the brain-cell-health angle of MemoVex, complementing Bacopa Monnieri and Ginkgo Biloba. See the full ingredients page for context.
Safety considerations
Phosphatidylserine is generally well tolerated. Consult a doctor if you take blood-thinning medication, since there is some evidence of mild interactions.
