Health Canada has concluded that information related to the safety of phosphatidylserine made from food grade soy lecithin supports its safe use in supplemented foods, provided levels of use do not exceed intakes of 300 mg per day, do not exceed 300 mg per serving, and that certain other compositional and labelling requirements are met.
