What is Phosphatidylserine?
Phosphatidylserine (PS) is an amino acid derivative that is highly prevalent in the neural tissue of humans. This fat-soluble phospholipid 1 is found in every single cell membrane of your body, with high concentrations of it in the brain.2 Phosphatidylserine is especially important for cellular function in the brain.3
PS can be synthesized by the body, although it can also be consumed through food sources (see next section, below). However, some believe that more benefits can be gained if you take a phosphatidylserine complex supplement.4
So how exactly does phosphatidylserine function? Basically, this nutrient has a unique structure that makes it both hydrophilic, meaning it's attracted to water and hydrophobic, or repelled by water. With this structure, phospholipids are able to arrange themselves into a phospholipid bilayer — two parallel layers that form a major component of the human cell membranes.
In brain cell membranes, the phospholipid bilayer acts as a "gatekeeper," regulating the entry beneficial substances, basically nutrients, water and oxygen, while eliminating metabolic waste
