A Cell Membrane Nutrient for Mental Sharpness and Stress
Phosphatidylserine, or PS, is a phospholipid found in cell membranes, and it is found in high concentrations in brain and nervous tissue. This version comes from sunflower lecithin instead of soy. Integrative Therapeutics describes phosphatidylserine as "a naturally occurring phospholipid" and "a critical component of cell membranes."*

How It Fits Into a Protocol
I usually bring phosphatidylserine in alongside the basics: sleep, blood sugar, and a good omega-3 such as Brain-E DHA or Ultra Omega-3. For stress-focused plans it sits well next to Adaptocrine. For memory and focus plans it can go with Magtein L-Threonate Plus, which is also from Integrative Therapeutics.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it soy-free?
Yes. It is made from sunflower lecithin, and Integrative Therapeutics lists it as free of soy, gluten, wheat, dairy, and artificial colors.
Why does the label say three a day, then two?
That is the maker's direction: 1 softgel three times daily for the first month, then 1 softgel two times daily after that. Your practitioner may adjust it.
Who should check with a provider first?
Anyone who is pregnant, nursing, or taking prescription drugs should check with their prescribing provider before adding this.
