Uridine Monophosphate for Neurotransmitter Imbalance
C Some Evidence Limited evidence from small studies, but some positive signals exist.The uridine + DHA + choline combination (known as the 'Mr. Happy Stack') provides synergistic support for phospholipid synthesis and dopamine receptor expression. Limited but promising clinical evidence.
The Bottom Line
