Phosphatidylserine (PS) Description

Phosphatidylserine is a naturally occurring phospholipid that serves as a key structural component of cell membranes. Available as either a fine off-white to pale yellow powder or a viscous amber liquid, high-quality PS exhibits minimal odor with just a subtle soybean-like aroma in its unrefined state.

The compound's unique molecular structure features:

• A serine amino acid head group
• Two fatty acid chains (composition varies by source)
• A glycerol backbone

This structure gives PS its characteristic properties:

•  Excellent amphiphilic nature (both water- and fat-soluble)
• Ability to spontaneously form bilayers in aqueous solutions
• Optimal solubility in chloroform-methanol mixtures
• Limited solubility in nonpolar solvents

To ensure product stability and efficacy:

• Requires nitrogen-flushed packaging
• Must be stored at -20°C for long-term preservation
• Often formulated with antioxidant protection (e.g., tocopherols)
• Maintains stability between pH 6-8
• Susceptible to hydrolysis in extreme pH conditions

Quality specifications include:

• Minimum 50% purity (HPLC-ELSD verified)
• Controlled impurity levels: • Lysophospholipids <3% • Residual solvents <50ppm
• Source-specific fatty acid profiles: • Soy-derived: Rich in linoleic and oleic acids • Sunflower-derived: Higher palmitic acid content

Phosphatidylserine (PS) FAQs

Q1. Is soy-derived PS safe for those with soy allergies?

Highly purified PS contains negligible soy proteins, but sunflower-derived PS is recommended for severe allergies. Clinical studies show no cross-reactivity at pharmaceutical-grade purity.

Q2. How soon should I expect mental clarity benefits?

Acute effects on focus may occur within 1-2 hours post-dose, but sustained cognitive improvements (e.g., memory recall) typically build over 3-6 weeks of consistent supplementation.

Q3. Can I bake with PS powder without losing efficacy?

Avoid temperatures exceeding 150°C. For baked goods, incorporate PS into fillings or post-baking toppings, as prolonged high heat degrades phospholipid structures.
