It sounds like there have been no other studies so I guess the results need to be taken with a grain of salt. I've tried fish oil for long periods but have never noticed any mood enhancement.

Given my experience watching the supplement industry, you can expect uridine supplements to hit the shelves within a couple of months.
I could get uridine from a chemical supply house, for example. It's pretty expensive. And, with the new demand for it that might soon exist, you can bet it's going to take a while for the supply to increase to match the demand.
Expect high prices, and poor availability, especially if the darn stuff works.
