Any thoughts from anyone would be welcomed.The three different retailers offer the same product, only the branding is different.

This website is from the UCLA group that oversaw the development of the product. In short, if you were looking for a lower cost alternative that is effective in getting across the BBB the keywords may be 'micronized', 'lipid encapsulated', and possibly 'phophatdylserine' (sp?). Good luck.
