A cost-effective blend of Phosphatidyl Serine, Choline, and Inositol for foundational brain health support.

Analysis

NOW's Phosphatidyl Serine product combines three key nutrients for brain health. Phosphatidyl Serine is crucial for nerve cell membranes and neurotransmitter function, directly supporting memory and learning. Choline, a precursor to acetylcholine, is vital for cognitive processes, while Inositol contributes to cell signaling. This formulation provides a synergistic approach to general brain support, although individual ingredient dosages are moderate.

Pros
  • Excellent price per serving for Phosphatidyl Serine.
  • Contains well-regarded ingredients for brain health: PS, Choline, and Inositol.
  • Reputable brand with many positive reviews.
Cons
  • Phosphatidyl Serine dosage (100mg) is lower than doses typically used in studies for significant cognitive improvement (e.g., 300mg).
  • Choline Bitartrate is a basic form of choline; more bioavailable forms exist.
  • Inositol dosage is relatively low for standalone effects.
Warnings
  • Generally safe, but individuals on blood thinners should consult a doctor due to potential mild anti-coagulant effects of PS at higher doses.

Goals
Cognitive Support 80.0
The inclusion of Phosphatidyl Serine and Choline provides direct support for cognitive functions such as memory recall, learning, and mental clarity. These ingredients are foundational to maintaining healthy brain signaling pathways.
Mental Focus 75.0
By supporting neurotransmitter function and neuronal communication, this product can contribute to improved mental acuity and sustained attention. However, it's not a stimulant and provides more subtle, foundational support.
Productivity Boost 70.0
Improved cognitive function and mental clarity can indirectly enhance productivity by facilitating task focus and mental endurance. The effects are more long-term support rather than an immediate energy surge.
