Proposal: Uridine group buy

daouda's Photo daouda 30 Mar 2013

No, you're definitely in the group buy. I haven't sent packages internationally so I wasn't sure what would be the costs.

I think that fills up all 5 spots.

I'll get back to you guys galls with my paypal info to the users that have shown interest, with the amount of the item+shipping.

I'm just waiting for the supplier to let me know the payment method.


Thanks redan, I appreciate this
I think a ziplock bag slipped into a bubblewrap-reinforced envelope of an adequate size should do the trick, but if you find it more convenient to send it into a cardboard package I'll be OK with the increased shipping costs that it would imply

I got a question. Why do you guys ordering Uridine this way? I thought it was pretty easy to find in the US? From Amazon even.

Because it cheaper. You save about $200 for buying this way. The markup on ebay is insane for these products.

Update: I got the bank info and everything. I'll pay out of my own pocket post pics when I get the product and split it with you guys.

Is there still room for me? Maybe the 100/100 split?

I'm also in Toronto so when the package arrives we can set something up. Cool?

Are you getting UMP or straight Uridine? I'm worried straight uridine might degrade more.

Ill try and order ump though i dont know a supplier that will sell it at 280. You are welcome to look around for other suppliers.

Additional cost is fine with me, as long as it's cheaper than what superior nutraceuticals is selling theirs for, which is where I was going to buy mine before this group buy got setup.

See my post in the other thread, they may not be too different.

I don't see why UMP would cost more? Didn't Mr.Happy say vanilla Uridine requires 1/3 smaller does than UMP?

I'm getting quotes for UMP at higher costs. Somewhere around 450-550 USD.

It really seems like a good deal then; half-price at 1/3 dose makes it 6X cheaper... so what's the catch?

Don't see any. Can you find out about the absorption rate of vanilla uridine? Dunno, just want to make sure its all good before I make an order.

Count me in still if we can get enough people from Toronto or in the general area. I'd be interested in splitting an amount with one or people.

daouda's Photo daouda 03 Apr 2013

I'm still in even if we change to UMP which would bring the price up.... There's got to be catch with vanilla uridine : cheaper, more "potent" (1/3 dose needed?)....and longer shelf life??

From a manufacturer selling both

http://c569593.tooto...uridine-ur.html
Uridine (UR)
Validity : 36 month

http://c569593.tooto...ophosphate.html
Uridine Monophosphate
Shelf life : 2 years


Thing is we know from the feedback here that UMP is tried and true, with straight uridine we might be taking our chances, and buying a bulk quantity is not a good strategy for this kind of "trial"'
If we can get SOME evidence that oral vanilla uridine works as well as UMP, thatd be good enough for me

daouda's Photo daouda 06 Apr 2013

Well our resident uridine expert Mr Happy seems to say in the other thread that straight uridine should work as well as UMP so I guess we should launch the operation?
Redan what s your status?

I'm OK with it if there is indeed a consensus on the vanilla-uridine's efficacy.

I'd be interested in participating in another round of this, if or when enough buyers present themselves again.

Or splitting with someone for 100g. Whichever.

there are two forms of uridine on the market and mrhappy who refered me to uridine refuses to tell me which form is better to buy and use. anyone has any clue ?
Quote

daouda's Photo daouda 08 Apr 2013

There actually are 3 forms, the most commonly found in supplement stores are UMP (uridine monophosphate, water soluble) and TAU (tri acetyl uridine, fat soluble), and then there is "vanilla" uridine, which is the one we are considering doing a group buy for.
I dont understand what youre saying about Mr Happy, he mentionned in that thread that he favors UMP taken sublingually, but thinks TAU should be fine and that it ultimately depends on everyone s individual response. He hasnt taken vanilla uridine personally but says he s read that it should work as well as the other forms.

what is vanilla uridine ? and where do you find sublingual UMP, what i found is bulk and/or amazon has cardivascular research ltd brand UMP that is also not sublingual.
Quote

daouda's Photo daouda 08 Apr 2013

Im not sure if youre serious or trolling but Ill answer anyway
"vanilla" uridine means uridine in its simplest form (not uridine monophosphate or triacetyluridine, but straight URIDINE)
There is no such thing as "sublingual UMP" but you can take the UMP powder and let it dissolve and absorb under your tongue = sublingual absorbtion. If bulk just take the powder, if caps just open the capsule and springle the powder under your tongue.

why would i be trolling ? this pure uridine stuff is confusing me. wouldnt pure uridine be in the form of RNA from brewer's yeast ? or perhaps its really cheap to buy it this way thats why you guys go for it ?
Quote

Reformed-Redan's Photo Reformed-Redan 08 Apr 2013

I think pure uridine should be fine. The uridine you get from brewers yeast is just vanilla uridine. I need to know how many people are still interested in this before I place the order.
