6 nootropics that make your brain limitless

5. Phosphatidylserine

Phosphatidylserine is a compound found in every human cell, as well as the cells of other living creatures. Recently, phosphatidylserine supplements have become popular because studies show they have the potential to improve cognition and memory.

According to research, phosphatidylserine supplements can improve well-being in people with Alzheimer’s disease and can even enhance their mental function temporarily. They’ve also been shown to improve memory, mental function and mood in people without Alzheimer’s, plus, they fight depression.

That has made them a popular nootropic among younger people just wanting to improve their focus. In addition, when paired with an omega-3 fatty acid, such as fish or krill oil, some say it helps manage adult ADHD symptoms.

For a long while, supplement manufacturers made phosphatidylserine from cow brain cells. But to alleviate worries about mad cow disease, they now they get them from plant sources, like sunflower lecithin. Early studies show these new and improved supplements should be safer and just as effective.
