about this product.

Thorne Phosphatidylserine is a phospholipid supplement providing 100 mg of phosphatidylserine per capsule, a compound that forms a core structural component of neuronal cell membranes. It plays a role in maintaining membrane fluidity and supporting the signalling pathways involved in cognition, memory, and the body's cortisol response to stress.

Phosphatidylserine is one of the more studied nootropic-adjacent nutrients. The research base centres on age-related cognitive decline, working memory, and attentional performance — making it most relevant for adults noticing early memory lapses, those in cognitively demanding roles, or people managing high chronic stress loads where cortisol dysregulation is a concern. It is also used by athletes interested in blunting the cortisol spike following intense training.

It fits naturally into a morning or pre-training routine, taken alongside a meal. Because it supports membrane integrity broadly, some users combine it with omega-3 fatty acids, though that is a general category observation rather than a specific formulation claim.

Thorne is a brand our clinicians return to consistently. Their manufacturing standards are well-regarded within the practitioner community, and they tend to use clean, well-characterised ingredient forms. Phosphatidylserine at 100 mg per capsule allows flexible dosing across different use cases, from a single daily capsule for general brain health maintenance to higher intakes during periods of elevated cognitive or physical demand.

how to take it

i.

Take 1 capsule one to three times daily, as directed on the packaging. Taking capsules with a meal is generally advisable for phospholipid supplements. Adjust the number of capsules to your specific use case — lower end for general maintenance, higher end during periods of elevated stress or training load.

frequently asked.

Who is most likely to benefit from phosphatidylserine?

Adults experiencing age-related memory changes, those in high-stress or cognitively demanding roles, and athletes looking to support recovery by moderating post-exercise cortisol are the most studied groups. It is not a general-population supplement — it suits a specific need.

How long before I notice a difference?

Cognitive and stress-related benefits from phosphatidylserine tend to be gradual. Most research protocols run over several weeks to months, so a short trial of a few days is unlikely to be informative. Consistent daily use over at least four to six weeks is a more realistic assessment window.

Is it safe to take alongside other supplements or medications?

Phosphatidylserine is generally well tolerated, but if you are taking anticoagulants or anticholinergic medications, speak to your GP or clinician before starting. As with any supplement, disclose it to your prescribing doctor as part of your full picture.

Can I take it on an empty stomach?

Taking it with food is preferable. Phospholipids are fat-soluble compounds and are generally better absorbed alongside a meal containing some dietary fat.

How does the 100 mg per capsule dosing work in practice?

The 100 mg capsule format mirrors the lower end of doses used in cognitive research, while the one-to-three capsules daily range allows you to match intake to your goals. Check the label and, if in doubt, start at the lower end and discuss adjustments with a clinician.

The first adrenal support that made a quick difference.

Gentle on a sensitive stomach, and I feel like myself again. I had tried two other glandulars before this and neither sat right.

MRVerified Buyer

Steadier mornings within a fortnight.

I was sceptical about glandulars, but my mid-afternoon crash has genuinely eased. One capsule with breakfast and I forget about it.

ALVerified Buyer

Subtle, but real.

2 weeks ago

Not a stimulant, which is exactly what I wanted. It took about ten days, then I realised I wasn’t dreading the afternoon any more.

SKVerified Buyer

My clinician recommended it.

3 weeks ago

Bought after a blood panel flagged a flat cortisol curve. Easy to take, no jitters, and the sourcing is refreshingly transparent.

TPVerified Buyer

Recovery feels faster.

Training hard through a stressful stretch and this has helped me bounce back between sessions. Already on my second bottle.

DVVerified Buyer

Does what it says.

1 month ago

No frills, one ingredient, a sensible dose. I appreciate that it is designed to be used for a season rather than forever.
