Soy vs. Sunflower Phosphatidylserine: The Allergen Debate

You’ve decided to take Phosphatidylserine (PS) for memory or cortisol control. But then you look at the label: "Contains Soy."

For decades, almost all PS supplements were derived from soy lecithin. But today, a newer, cleaner source is available: Sunflower Lecithin. Which one is better? And does the source actually affect how it works in your brain?

The History: From Cows to Beans to Seeds

Originally, PS was extracted from cow brains (bovine cortex). This was highly effective but discontinued due to Mad Cow Disease risks. The industry shifted to Soy Lecithin as a cheap, abundant alternative.

However, soy comes with baggage. It is a top allergen, often genetically modified (GMO), and contains phytoestrogens that can disrupt hormones in sensitive individuals.

Why We Choose Sunflower PS

At SureOKGo, we formulated FOG OFF with Sunflower-Derived Phosphatidylserine. Here is why this matters for your brain health:

1. 100% Allergen-Free

Soy is one of the "Big 8" allergens. Even if you aren't anaphylactic, many people have a low-grade sensitivity to soy proteins that causes inflammation. Taking an inflammatory ingredient (soy) to fix brain inflammation seems counterproductive. Sunflower PS eliminates this risk entirely.

2. No Hormonal Disruption

Soy contains isoflavones, which mimic estrogen. While the amount in a PS supplement is small, many men and hormone-sensitive women prefer to avoid soy completely. Sunflower seeds do not contain these phytoestrogens, making it a "hormonally neutral" source.

3. Non-GMO Purity

The vast majority of soy grown worldwide is genetically modified to resist pesticides. Sunflower crops are typically non-GMO and require fewer chemical inputs, resulting in a cleaner final product.

The Protocol: Clean Brain Fuel

When you are trying to clear brain fog, purity counts. You want to remove inflammatory triggers, not add them.

FOG OFF uses the highest quality Sunflower Phosphatidylserine to ensure that you are supporting your memory and cortisol levels without triggering an immune response.

Summary

Soy was the standard, but Sunflower is the upgrade. By choosing Sunflower PS, you get a cleaner, safer, non-GMO cognitive support that works for everyone.

FOG OFF is your soy-free cognitive choice.
