Analysis

NOW Phosphatidyl Serine 100 mg is formulated to support brain health, cognitive function, and mental focus through a blend of Phosphatidyl Serine (PS), Choline Bitartrate, and Inositol. PS is a crucial phospholipid found in brain cell membranes, known for its role in maintaining cellular function and neurotransmitter release, directly supporting memory and cognitive acuity. While the 100mg dose of PS is effective for general maintenance, some individuals might benefit from higher dosages for more intensive support. The Choline Bitartrate (100mg) and Inositol (50mg) doses are moderate, contributing to overall brain health and fat metabolism, but are not as high as in dedicated choline or inositol supplements. The product's value is enhanced by the inclusion of PS at a reasonable price per serving, making it a good choice for those seeking comprehensive brain support.

Pros
  • Contains Phosphatidyl Serine, a key ingredient for brain cell health and cognitive function.
  • Includes both Choline and Inositol for synergistic brain and metabolic support.
  • Reasonable price point for a multi-ingredient cognitive blend.
Cons
  • Doses of Choline and Inositol are relatively low compared to standalone supplements.
  • Phosphatidyl Serine dosage, while effective, is at the lower end of some clinical studies.
Warnings
  • Individuals sensitive to phosphatidyl serine may experience mild digestive upset.

Categories
Choline 80.0
While containing choline bitartrate, the product's primary strength lies in its Phosphatidyl Serine content. The 100mg of choline is a good contribution to daily intake, but not the highest dose available in the collection, thus it scores well but not perfectly for a choline-focused collection.
Goals
Brain Health 88.0
The presence of Phosphatidyl Serine directly supports brain cell membrane integrity and function, which is fundamental for overall brain health. Choline also contributes significantly as a precursor to acetylcholine, a vital neurotransmitter.
Cognitive Support 87.0
Phosphatidyl Serine is well-researched for its benefits in memory, learning, and overall cognitive processes. Choline further aids by supporting neurotransmitter synthesis, providing a dual approach to cognitive enhancement.
Mental Focus 85.0
The combined action of Phosphatidyl Serine and Choline supports neurotransmitter balance crucial for sustained attention and mental clarity. While not a stimulant, the foundational support can improve focus over time.
