⚠ Compliance Notes

US market: Phosphatidylserine is used in cognitive support formulas. US claim language can be sensitive and should be reviewed carefully, especially if referencing qualified health claim language. Avoid claims related to treating dementia or Alzheimer’s disease.

EU / UK market: Cognitive claim wording for phosphatidylserine should be reviewed against local rules. Be especially careful with memory, aging, and disease-adjacent claims.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I choose soy or sunflower phosphatidylserine?

Soy-derived PS is common and cost-effective. Sunflower-derived PS is preferred when brands want soy-free, non-GMO, or cleaner label positioning. If your label says sunflower or soy-free, request source documentation and allergen statements.

What is the difference between 20% and 50% PS?

20% PS powder is easier for cost-sensitive formulas and larger serving formats. 50% PS is more concentrated and useful for compact capsules, nootropic stacks, and premium products. Compare by active PS delivered per serving.

What should I check on a Phosphatidylserine COA?

Check PS percentage, source material, allergen status, solvent residues, heavy metals, microbiology, moisture, and carrier system. For sunflower PS, ask for non-soy and Non-GMO documentation if those claims appear on your label.

What documentation comes with my order?

Every sample and bulk order includes COA, MSDS, and product specification sheet. For standardized grades, the COA includes the relevant active marker assay where applicable. Heavy metal data, microbiology results, allergen statement, Non-GMO statement, flow chart, and country of origin declaration are available for bulk orders.

What ingredients pair well with phosphatidylserine?

Phosphatidylserine pairs well with alpha GPC, bacopa, ginkgo, lion’s mane, L-theanine, omega-3 ingredients, B vitamins, and magnesium. It is also used in sports formulas for focus and stress resilience positioning.

What affects phosphatidylserine pricing?

Price depends on PS percentage, source material, carrier, oil or powder format, allergen documentation, and annual volume. Sunflower PS generally costs more than soy PS but supports stronger clean-label positioning.

What is the minimum order and lead time?

Minimum bulk order is 1kg, with formulation samples available from 20g. Bulk lead time is usually 10–15 business days depending on selected specification, inventory, documentation requirements, and destination market.
