Phosphatidylserine

Meaning

Phosphatidylserine (PS) is an abundant, naturally occurring phospholipid that is a critical structural component of all cell membranes, particularly concentrated in the inner leaflet of neuronal cell membranes in the brain. Functionally, it is essential for maintaining cell membrane fluidity, supporting intercellular communication, and facilitating the process of apoptosis. In the context of hormonal health, it is clinically recognized for its role in modulating the body’s neuroendocrine response to stress, especially concerning the regulation of cortisol.
