Uridine and UMP content of Cordyceps Extracts
Original post in this thread

I’ve been doing some research on Cordyceps and have learned that there is a significant concentration of nucleotides and nucleosides in it. I was wondering if nootropics depot does any analytical work to measure the concentration of uridine or UMP in both there 1:1 and 10:1 Cordyceps extract. Im specifically asking about uridine because I’ve had mixed results from UMP in the past and wanted to know if there was enough of either of these compounds in the extracts to have an effect in the human body.

Thanks for the quick response and for being such an active member in our community. Ok, so at 0.4% it’s about 4 mg of UMP per gram of 1:1 extract?

My pleasure! Yes, it would be around 4mg per gram, based on the research I am seeing. Even if ours is double, that's only 8mg. So a much lower dose than taking uridine by itself as a supplement.
