Serine is a non-essential amino acid the body makes on its own and also obtains from protein-containing foods. It plays roles in building proteins and in the synthesis of other molecules used in the nervous system.
Why it’s used
Taken by some with interest in cognitive or nervous-system support, based largely on its biological role rather than established supplement outcomes.
What the evidence says
Human trials on supplemental L-serine are few and small, mostly exploratory studies in specific neurological conditions. There is no NIH ODS fact sheet on serine, and the evidence base is too limited to draw general conclusions about benefit from supplementation in healthy people.
