Phosphatidylserine is a naturally occurring phospholipid compound and an important component of cell membranes. It is especially abundant in brain nerve cells. It belongs to a type of Glycerophospholipids, mainly composed of a glycerol skeleton, a phosphate group, and a serine group. It is widely present in animal and plant cells. However, the food source is relatively limited and is usually extracted from soybeans or lecithin.

2. Ashwagandha Powder

Withania somnifera, also known as "Indian ginseng", is a traditional adaptogen herb. It has been used in Indian Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years. Its roots and leaves can be used to extract active ingredients. The most important of these are Withanolides. These active ingredients are believed to have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects. Ashwagandha powder is usually ground from the root of Ashwagandha, and can also be processed into a high-concentration extract by water extraction or alcohol extraction.
