Uridine Monophosphate (UMP)
Also called UMP
Uridine monophosphate is the most widely used and affordable form, and the one used in most of the limited human research as part of stacks with DHA and a choline source. Because oral uridine is largely metabolized in the gut, UMP is commonly taken sublingually to improve how much reaches the bloodstream.
