Perhaps I'm mistaken, but I thought lecithin contained phosphatidyl choline and inositol. I didn't know there was any phosphatidylserine, unless the manufacturer has added some, in which case that would probably be listed under the ingredients on the package.

Yeah, the package says that it is lecithin,
and that it contains phosphatadyl serine,I do not know as to weather it naturally contains this or not.

The bottle of Lecithin that I have says that it's made from soy and that it contains phosphatidyl choline and inositol. I also have a bottle of phosphatidylserine from Trader Joe's which contains phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidyl-
choline and phosphatidylinositol (the last two ingredients are exactly what's in the bottle of lecithin). As I said before, I'm not absolutely certain, but I think that plain lecithin is phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylinositol. If that's the case, then perhaps the manufacturer of your brand added the PS. What brand did you buy?

I've read that it's probably better to get the various phosphatides that we've discussed on this thread in the forms derived from soy rather than from cow brains. Be sure to read the ingredients before you buy the products. The phosphatides derived from cows, oxen, etc. have the potential danger of causing bovine spongiform encephalopathy (mad cow disease). This is true for many "natural" supplements. About 10 years ago, when Melatonin was the latest craze, I was advised by my doctor to buy only the synthetic form and not the "natural form" because the "natural" brands were probably made from the ground up pineal glands of sheep and cows, and could possibly be infected with BSE and other prion diseases.

I bought lucas-meyer leci-PLC. Lucas meyer is dubbed the "lecithin people". I am under the impression that inositol, and choline, are the main active ingredients, and that there is probably a small about of serine, not usualy worth noting.
The reason I say this is because most P-serine extracts come fron soy (or so I've read)
I, as well, am not too sure.
