Abstract
Phosphatidylserine is a widely-used nootropic supplement today. It is a key ingredient in many of the most popular pre-made nootropic supplements on the market, and many people use phosphatidylserine as a standalone supplement to enhance cognitive performance and brain health. In this paper, we’ll look at a specific claim made by supplement manufacturers regarding phosphatidylserine: its ability to enhance memory function in the elderly and protect against age-related cognitive decline.
