Phosphatidylserine and Brain Cell Structure: Explained Now

A Structural Component, Not a Stimulant

Phosphatidylserine (PS) is a phospholipid that occurs naturally in cell membranes throughout the body, with a particularly high concentration in brain cell membranes, where it plays a structural role.

Why Levels Decline With Age

As we age, natural phosphatidylserine levels can decline, which is part of why clinical research has examined supplemental PS in older adults specifically.

What the Research Shows

One study published in a peer-reviewed aging journal found that soybean-derived phosphatidylserine had favorable effects on cognitive function in elderly adults with memory complaints. A separate Japanese study reported improvements in memory function in the elderly with mild cognitive impairment.

The Honest Caveat

Research organizations note that while some trials show modestly improved cognitive function, more large-scale, rigorous trials on PS are still warranted.

Bottom Line

Phosphatidylserine in CogniMary is included as the fourth pillar of the formula, working alongside three other ingredients.
