Uridine Monophosphate
Also known as: UMP, Uridine 5'-monophosphate
Uridine monophosphate is a nucleotide that the body also makes on its own and obtains from foods. It appears in cognition-oriented discussions, frequently paired with choline sources and omega-3 fatty acids as part of a broader nutrient combination. Human evidence is preliminary, and much of the interest comes from laboratory and animal work rather than large clinical trials.

Ranges are informational, not a recommended dose. Talk to a professional about what is right for you.
⚠️ Commonly noted interactions (supplements)
None listed.
Often about absorption or timing rather than danger — separating doses is common. This list is not exhaustive.
🧭 Caution level
- Evidence not fully source-reviewed yet
Caution level is an informational summary of commonly discussed caution categories and doses — not a safety rating, approval, or medical advice. Low caution does not mean safe for you.
🩺 Medication caution categories
None flagged here, but always review your full routine with a professional.
🏥 Surgery & procedure caution
Not a well-established surgical concern; share your full supplement list with your care team.
If you have a procedure scheduled, bring your full supplement list to your surgical and anesthesia team. Do not stop prescribed medication unless your clinician tells you to. Do not start or stop supplements based only on this app.
✅ Quality checklist
