Phosphatidylserine

Phosphatidylserine is a lipid-like compound that may support cognition and reduce cognitive decline; it occurs in meat and fish, and to some extent in cabbage. 1

• 300 mg and cognition: Studies using 300 mg of supplemental phosphatidylserine reported statistically significant, though modest, improvements in cognition and reductions in cognitive decline. 2
• ADHD in children: In studies, 200 mg daily for two months was associated with reduced ADHD symptoms in children, with the effect enhanced by omega-3 fatty acids. 3
• Neuronal support, focus, and alertness: Phosphatidylserine, omega-3s, and choline are presented as supporting nerve-cell function and integrity; choline supports acetylcholine production, which is involved in focus and alertness. 4
