    Methodology

    Review of phosphatidylserine physiology and clinical trials in cognitive decline, memory and stress

    Support for phosphatidylserine in cognition is limited and largely based on small, older studies

    Limitations

    Narrative review; no pooled effect estimates

    Supplements Studied

    Evidence for cognitive benefit derives mainly from small trials with older bovine preparations; soy-derived trials show weaker and inconsistent effects

    Outcomes Measured
