"Phosphatidylserine at 100mg — the FDA-qualified health claim phospholipid for memory and cortisol"
Overview
NOW Phosphatidylserine provides 100mg of soy-free phosphatidylserine derived from sunflower lecithin. Phosphatidylserine (PS) is a phospholipid that makes up 15% of the brain's fat content and is critical for cell membrane fluidity, neurotransmitter release, and cortisol regulation. PS has an FDA-qualified health claim for cognitive function — one of very few supplements with this distinction. Research supports PS for memory, attention, cortisol reduction, and exercise recovery.
