Their PS-soy product had received GRAS clearance from the US FDA in December 2007 and from the European Union in 2011 Enzymotec received GRAS clearance from the FDA to market "Sharp PS Green" - a PS derived from sunflower, in June 2015.

In 2007 they received approval in Europe to market their PS-based "CardiaBeat" product to promote heart health.

In January 2016 Enzymotec began marketing its "Sharp PS" ingredient, a phosphatidylserine (PS) derived from soy, for sports nutrition; it had already been marketing Sharp PS for age-related memory loss. In April 2016 it rebranded its line of PS products as "EnzyPS' and started marketing them in skin health, stress reduction, and mood enhancement.
