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.

Sorry to bring up and old topic. Would the 10:1 extract affect this content at all. I’m assuming it’s probably not a linear correlation in that it would probably not have 10x the UMP concentration of the 1:1. I know that you don’t have the analytical data to give me actual numbers but I was curious what your thoughts would be if you had to take an educated guess in the UMP content of of the 10:1 extract.

I'd have to analyze it in the lab before I was comfortable speculating. You never know how a solvent extraction is going to concentrate or lose certain things.
