What is Phosphatidylserine?
Phosphatidylserine is a fat-soluble substance, important for the human brain. It plays a crucial role in the structure of brain cells and their functions. This phospholipid is not only the most prevalent in our brains and nerve cells but also contributes to the vitality of mitochondria, essential for energy production.
Although our body can produce phosphatidylserine itself, the amount we obtain through diet is essential, as dietary sources provide a different composition of fatty acids. Although phosphatidylserine is present in small amounts in many foods, supplementation supports the optimal function of our brains and bodies.
