Abstract
Uridine is a nutrient that is largely unknown as a dietary supplement and yet, paradoxically, has a well-established place in nutrition. Uridine is a nucleotide base found in high levels in beer which is used for increasing synthesis of cellular membranes and for other neurological properties.
Uridine is a component of RNA that has positive health effects on humans. It can help improve brain function and aid in treating mental disorders, reduce pain, and protect the heart. It appears to have potentially cognitive enhancing properties, and is synergistic with fish oil.
