Uridine(CAT: A001133) is a nucleoside composed of uracil and ribose, playing a vital role in RNA synthesis and cellular metabolism. It is involved in the synthesis of brain phospholipids and supports neural membrane formation, potentially aiding cognitive function and neuroprotection. Uridine is available as a dietary supplement, often combined with other compounds like choline and DHA to support brain health. It may benefit conditions such as depression, Alzheimer’s disease, and neuropathy. Uridine is generally well-tolerated, with minimal reported side effects.
