Uridine

Uridine is a naturally occurring pyrimidine nucleoside composed of uracil attached to a ribose sugar via a β-N₁-glycosidic bond. It is a fundamental building block of RNA and plays a central role in the biosynthesis of nucleotides, glycogen, and membrane phospholipids. Uridine is found in high concentrations in the liver, skeletal muscle, and brain tissue, and is also present in human breast milk, where it supports neonatal development.

Uridine

In recent years, uridine has gained attention as a nootropic and neuroprotective compound, with research suggesting its potential in supporting cognitive function, mood regulation, and brain health. Its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and its involvement in neuronal membrane synthesis make it a valuable ingredient in dietary supplements targeting neurological health.
