Phosphatidylserine is a naturally occurring phospholipid found in high concentrations in brain cell membranes. It plays a vital role in cell signaling, membrane fluidity, and neurotransmitter release.
In the food and supplement industry, phosphatidylserine is sourced primarily from soy or sunflower lecithin and is used as a functional ingredient for cognitive health products. It has been the subject of extensive clinical research supporting its role in memory and cognitive function. The ingredient is available in various concentrations and forms suitable for capsules, tablets, functional beverages, and food fortification.
