Phosphatidylserine 100mg with Ginkgo – Vegan Cognitive Support Supplement

Frequently Asked Questions

• What are the benefits of Phosphatidylserine?
  Phosphatidylserine is a phospholipid found in every brain cell membrane, and levels tend to fall with age. Studies suggest Phosphatidylserine supplements may support memory, focus and mental clarity, as well as a healthy response to everyday stress. Our formula adds Ginkgo Biloba and DMAE for broader cognitive support.
• What is the best supplement to improve memory?
  There's no single answer for everyone, but Phosphatidylserine is one of the most researched nutrients for memory and cognitive support in adults. Look for a plant-based source, third-party testing and a clean formula without magnesium stearate or fillers. Good sleep, regular exercise and omega-3s matter too — see our Memory & Brain Support collection.
• Does Phosphatidylserine lower cortisol or help with stress and anxious feelings?
  Several small studies suggest it may. In a 1992 placebo-controlled trial, healthy men taking 800 mg a day had a smaller cortisol rise after exercise, and later studies using 200–400 mg a day found benefits mainly in people under high ongoing stress. Results are mixed, so we describe Phosphatidylserine as supporting a healthy stress response — not as a treatment for anxiety. If you have an anxiety condition, please talk to your doctor.
• Is Phosphatidylserine a nootropic?
  Yes — it's often grouped with nootropics, the nutrients people take to support focus and mental performance. Unlike stimulants, Phosphatidylserine doesn't give a caffeine-style buzz. It works gradually by supporting healthy brain cell membranes.
• Does Phosphatidylserine help with sleep?
  It isn't a sedative and contains no melatonin. Some people take it in the evening because it may support a calmer mind after a stressful day, which can make it easier to wind down. For dedicated sleep support, see our Reishi Mushroom.
• How much Phosphatidylserine should I take, and when?
  Take 2 capsules daily with food — a meal containing some fat helps absorption. You can take both together or split them between morning and evening; many people prefer an evening dose if stress keeps their mind busy at night. For best results, use it consistently for 1–3 months.
• How do I choose the best Phosphatidylserine supplement?
  Check the source (plant-derived rather than animal), the amount per serving, and whether it's third-party tested. BoostCeuticals Phosphatidylserine is vegan, made in the USA in a GMP-certified facility, third-party tested, and free from magnesium stearate and silica. You can buy it here on our website or on Amazon.
• How long does Phosphatidylserine take to work?
  It builds up gradually. Many people notice a difference in focus within 4–6 weeks, and most studies have run for 6 weeks to 3 months.
• Is Phosphatidylserine safe, and what are the side effects?
  Plant-derived Phosphatidylserine is generally well tolerated. The most common side effect is mild stomach upset, usually at higher doses. Because Ginkgo may affect blood clotting, talk to your doctor before use if you take blood thinners or any prescription medication, have surgery planned, or are pregnant or breastfeeding.
• Can I open the capsules? Is Phosphatidylserine constipating?
  Yes, you can open the vegetable capsules and mix the contents into food or a smoothie. Constipation isn't a commonly reported effect; taking it with food helps if you have a sensitive stomach.
