NOW Phosphatidyl Serine 100mg 60’s

Phosphatidyl Serine 100 mg, the Amount the Research Used

Phosphatidyl serine is taken for everyday memory and focus, and this supplies 100 mg of it in a single vegetarian capsule, which is the amount the research has used, alongside 100 mg of choline and 50 mg of inositol. 60 capsules from NOW.

Phosphatidylserine is a phospholipid that makes up part of every cell membrane in the body and is particularly concentrated in the brain. Below you will find the full panel, what each of the three ingredients is, what the research has and has not established, which claims this capsule properly earns, and the two things worth settling with us before you start.

What One Capsule Supplies

Per vegetarian capsule, from the manufacturer’s own panel, and your page already has these right.

• Phosphatidyl serine 100 mg, from soy lecithin. This is the figure that matters, and it is the amount the published studies have used: the phosphatidylserine literature runs from 100 mg to 300 mg a day, so one capsule puts you at the bottom of that range and three at the top. It is also worth knowing in comparison: our combination brain formula carries phosphatidylserine at 15 mg, which is a name on a label rather than a working amount, so if phosphatidylserine is specifically what you came for, this is the product that carries it properly.
• Choline 100 mg, from choline bitartrate, which is 18% of the daily reference intake. This is the part of the capsule with recognised benefits behind it, and the page should say so: choline contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism, to normal lipid metabolism and to the maintenance of normal liver function. The amount needed to make those three statements is 82.5 mg per serving, and 100 mg clears it.
• Inositol 50 mg. Another compound found in cell membranes, included as part of the same phospholipid picture. No recognised claim attaches to it, so we present it as what the formulator put in rather than as a benefit.
• A vegetarian capsule, with cellulose, silicon dioxide and a vegetable-source stearate. It contains soy, from the phosphatidylserine, and is made without wheat, gluten, milk, egg, fish, shellfish or tree nuts.
• 60 vegetarian capsules, which at 1 a day is two months and at 3 a day about twenty days.

What the Research Has Tested, and What You May Be Told

Phosphatidylserine has no recognised health claim of any kind in this market. Its memory and cognitive claims were assessed and not authorised, which is the same position as the Alpha GPC we carry. So anybody selling it on a promise about memory is going beyond what the evidence was judged to support, and we are not going to do that.

What is true is that people take it for memory and focus, that it has a real research literature behind it, and that the studies used 100 mg to 300 mg a day — which is the range this capsule is built for. That is a reasonable thing to try, with clear eyes about what it is. There is also a qualified claim permitted in the United States relating phosphatidylserine to dementia risk in the elderly, and we mention it only to say that it comes with a mandatory official disclaimer that the supporting evidence is very limited and preliminary, and that it has no standing here at all.

What this capsule may properly claim comes from the choline. At 100 mg it clears the threshold for three recognised benefits — normal homocysteine metabolism, normal lipid metabolism and the maintenance of normal liver function. We will be straight that none of those three is about the brain, which is an awkward fit for a product people buy for memory. It is also the only lawful claim in the capsule, and we would rather tell you the accurate small thing than the appealing large one.

If what you want is a brain nutrient with a recognised claim rather than a promising one, the DHA in our wild Alaskan salmon oil carries an authorised brain-function claim at its daily dose, at a fraction of the price. We would rather point you there than oversell this.

How to Take It

One capsule, one to three times a day, with food. That is the manufacturer’s instruction and it is a genuine range rather than a hedge: one capsule is 100 mg and three is 300 mg, which are the bottom and top of the studied range. Let our pharmacist settle which with you and write it down.

We start most people at one a day for a month, because the difference between 100 mg and 300 mg is also the difference between a two-month bottle and a twenty-day one.

Take it with food. Phosphatidylserine is a phospholipid, so it absorbs better alongside some fat in a meal, and it is easier on the stomach that way.

Give it a fair trial and judge it honestly. A month at a steady amount is the reasonable test. If it is doing nothing for you, the answer is to stop rather than to climb, and at this price that matters.

Who This Suits

Adults who want phosphatidylserine at the amount the studies used rather than a trace inside a blend. People who have tried a combination formula and want to know what the phosphatidylserine alone does for them. Anyone who would rather buy one ingredient they understand than seven they do not. Vegetarians and vegans, since the capsule is plant based. And anyone who would rather have the position explained honestly before spending this much.

Is Phosphatidyl Serine Right for You?

Five things to settle with us, and the first is the one that matters most.

• IF THE REASON YOU ARE HERE IS A MEMORY CHANGE YOU HAVE GENUINELY NOTICED, IN YOURSELF OR IN A PARENT, PLEASE LET OUR DOCTOR SEE YOU FIRST. A noticed change in memory deserves proper assessment, because there are causes that are treatable and causes that are not, and several of them have nothing to do with the brain at all — thyroid function, vitamin B12, medication, sleep, mood. Our doctor is here at the pharmacy and can start that properly. Buying a supplement instead of being assessed is the one thing we would ask you not to do, and we would rather lose the sale than see it.
• Let us set the daily number with you. One to three capsules is 100 mg to 300 mg, and it is also the difference between a two-month bottle and a twenty-day one. We start most people at one.
• The phosphatidylserine is drawn from soy. If you avoid soy, tell us and we will show you what else we carry. The capsule shell itself is plant based and suits a vegetarian or vegan diet.
• Adults only, and not during pregnancy or breastfeeding without advice. The manufacturer restricts it to adults and asks you to consult a doctor if you are pregnant, nursing, taking any medication or managing a medical condition. Our doctor is here if you would rather have that conversation at the counter than wait for an appointment.
• Bring us your medicine list, and tell us what else you take. Choline turns up in multivitamins and in focus blends, and this capsule carries 100 mg of it, so the total is worth adding up. Our pharmacist will go through the list in a minute and tell you where you stand.

Storing It

Keep the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight, below 25 degrees, and out of reach of children. A cupboard rather than a windowsill, a bathroom shelf or the cupboard above the cooker, since phospholipids are prone to oxidation and draw in moisture. Leave the desiccant sachet in the bottle until the last capsule, and keep it in its own container rather than decanting a week into a pill box.

At two tablets a day a bottle runs for a long time, so tell us the pack size you want and we will work out how many months that covers before you order.

Across Africa, ask us before you order. We have sent orders to Uganda, Tanzania, Somaliland and as far as Malawi, and we will quote for Rwanda, Burundi, South Sudan, Ethiopia, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Mozambique, Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa and the rest of the continent. Shellfish and bovine-derived ingredients occasionally need an import declaration, and this formula contains both, so tell us the destination and we will confirm the paperwork before the parcel leaves us.

Living abroad? Order from wherever you are and we deliver to your family here in Kenya. Kenyans in the UK, the United States, Canada, South Africa and the Gulf order from us regularly for parents and relatives at home. A joint supplement is a sensible thing to send, because the benefit builds over months and a steady supply matters far more than a single bottle. Two tablets a day is also the easiest regimen to keep up with. Tell us who it is for, how many months you want covered, and whether they have a shellfish allergy or avoid beef, and we will set up the repeat.

Our doctor is here too if you would rather have the whole question looked at properly.

It is one more step in our vision: building Africa’s most trusted health ecosystem, accessible to everyone, everywhere.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is phosphatidyl serine used for?

It is a phospholipid supplement, taken by most people for everyday memory and focus. Phosphatidylserine forms part of every cell membrane in the body and is particularly concentrated in the brain. This capsule also carries 100 mg of choline, which contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism, to normal lipid metabolism and to the maintenance of normal liver function, and 50 mg of inositol.

How much phosphatidylserine is in a capsule?

100 mg, from soy lecithin, plus choline 100 mg and inositol 50 mg. The published studies on phosphatidylserine used 100 mg to 300 mg a day, so one capsule sits at the bottom of that range and three at the top. There are 60 capsules in a bottle.

How many capsules should I take a day?

The manufacturer says 1 capsule, 1 to 3 times daily with food. Let our pharmacist settle it with you and write it down. We generally start people at one a day for a month, because the difference between one and three is also the difference between a two-month bottle and a twenty-day one, and there is no sense paying for three if one suits you.

Does it actually work for memory?

Here is the honest answer, and it is the reason to buy this from a pharmacist rather than a marketplace. Phosphatidylserine has no recognised health claim in this market: its memory and cognitive claims were assessed and were not authorised. What is true is that it has a genuine research literature, that the studies used 100 mg to 300 mg a day, and that plenty of people take it and find it helpful. That is a reasonable thing to try with clear eyes. What we will not tell you is that it is proven to improve your memory, because that is not what the evidence was judged to support.

I have noticed my memory getting worse. Should I take this?

Please come and see us first, and let our doctor assess it. A memory change you have genuinely noticed deserves proper attention, because some causes are very treatable and have nothing to do with the brain at all — thyroid function, vitamin B12, a medication you are taking, poor sleep, low mood. Our doctor is here at the pharmacy and can start that properly in one visit. We would rather lose the sale than have you take a supplement instead of being looked at.

What does the choline in it do?

It is the part of the capsule with recognised benefits attached. Choline contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism, to normal lipid metabolism and to the maintenance of normal liver function, and the amount needed to say so is 82.5 mg per serving, which the 100 mg here clears. None of those three is about the brain, and we would rather tell you the accurate small thing than the appealing large one. If choline at a higher amount is what you are after, we carry a single-ingredient choline at 300 mg a capsule in a more absorbable form and at a considerably lower price.

Is it safe for daily use?

At the label amount it is intended for ongoing daily use and most people take it without trouble. The manufacturer restricts it to adults and asks you to consult a doctor if you are pregnant, nursing, taking any medication or managing a medical condition. The occasional complaints are mild stomach discomfort or trouble sleeping if it is taken late, and both usually settle by taking it with a meal earlier in the day.

Does it contain soy?

Yes. The phosphatidylserine is derived from soy lecithin, which is the standard commercial source. The capsule shell is plant based, so the product suits a vegetarian or vegan diet. If you avoid soy, tell us and we will show you the alternatives we carry.

Can I take it with other supplements?

Bring us your list and let us check it. The thing worth watching is choline, which turns up in multivitamins and in focus blends and is already here at 100 mg a capsule. Our pharmacist will total it with you in a minute, along with anything else you are taking.

How does it compare with the other brain supplements you carry?

It is the only one that carries phosphatidylserine at the amount the studies used. Our seven-ingredient brain formula includes phosphatidylserine at 15 mg, which is a token amount, though it carries ginkgo, gotu kola and eight other things this does not. And if you want a brain benefit with a recognised claim behind it rather than a promising one, the DHA in our wild Alaskan salmon oil is the one that has it. Tell our pharmacist what you are actually after and we will match you properly rather than selling you the dearest option.

Why is it expensive?

Because phosphatidylserine is a costly ingredient to produce at 100 mg a capsule, which is also why most combination formulas include a fraction of that amount and still name it on the label. You are paying for the real quantity rather than the mention. Whether that is worth it to you is a fair question and we will give you a straight answer at the counter.
