How it works
Exchange -- normally confined to the inner leaflet of the cell membrane; its externalization is a recognized 'eat-me' signal for immune clearance of dying cells
Sense -- involved in cell-surface signaling complexes, including neuronal synaptic membranes
Regulate -- randomized human trials show phosphatidylserine supplementation can blunt the cortisol spike from acute exercise or psychological stress
Maintain -- concentrated in neuronal membranes, proposed (though not firmly established) to support synaptic membrane integrity with aging
Form matters
The same nutrient can be made in very different forms -- and a study done on one form does not automatically apply to another. Methylcobalamin is not cyanocobalamin; magnesium glycinate is not magnesium oxide; a whole-food extract is not the synthetic isolate that was studied. Two things decide whether what is in the bottle behaves like the research: the exact form, and independent lab verification (a Certificate of Analysis) that the form and dose on the label are truly what is inside. Without a COA, you are trusting a label, not the science.
