Citicoline and Uridine
Citicoline supplies choline while uridine supplies the nucleotide; combined with omega-3 DHA they form the classic membrane-synthesis stack.
Citicoline
A choline source studied for focus, memory, and brain health.
Uridine
A nucleotide studied for memory, mood, and brain membranes.
Great to combine
These two are frequently stacked together; they complement each other and are commonly taken at the same time.
How to take them
Citicoline
- Dose
- 250–500 mg per day (up to 2,000 mg in clinical studies)
- Timing
- In the morning or early afternoon, with or without food
Uridine
- Dose
- 150–300 mg of uridine monophosphate per day (often sublingual)
- Timing
- In the morning, often alongside DHA and a choline source
Frequently asked
Can you take Citicoline and Uridine together?
Yes, they are commonly taken together. Citicoline supplies choline while uridine supplies the nucleotide; combined with omega-3 DHA they form the classic membrane-synthesis stack.
What's the best time to take Citicoline and Uridine?
Around the same time works well. Citicoline: In the morning or early afternoon, with or without food. Uridine: In the morning, often alongside DHA and a choline source.
How do Citicoline and Uridine interact?
Synergy: Work better together than alone. Citicoline supplies choline while uridine supplies the nucleotide; combined with omega-3 DHA they form the classic membrane-synthesis stack.
