OmegaTAU provides essential building blocks for cellular membranes: DHA, Uridine, and Choline. Uridine may enhance cognitive function and memory, especially when combined with DHA. DHA may also support dopamine levels, though its effects can vary.
Time to notice full effects: 1-2 Weeks (With Immediate Effects)
Unlock your full potential by building a supplement stack tailored to your unique goals. Whether you're focused on energy, focus, or overall wellness, we’re here to guide you in creating the perfect combination of supplements to support your journey. Your health, your way—powered by the right stack.
OmegaTAU, which combines the word ‘omega’ from omega-3 fatty acids, and ‘TAU’ an abbreviation for triacetyluridine, is based on a community-generated stack that originated on a longecity thread back in 2011. At its most basic, this stack combines DHA from fish oil with either uridine monophosphate or triacetyluridine. The stack idea was started by a user called ‘Mr. Happy’ and thus the name ‘Mr. Happy Stack’ was coined for this particular combination of ingredients. We have all been long-term users of this stack at the office but were always looking for an all-in-one type product, where we didn’t have to piece together a bunch of different supplements from a bunch of different vendors. This is how OmegaTAU was born.
One of the biggest challenges with an all-in-one product that utilizes fish oil, is that fish oil is a liquid and thus needs to be formulated as a softgel. We tried going down this road, however, designing a softgel-based stack is an incredibly arduous process, and honestly not entirely feasible. This means we needed a different solution, and after all these years, we finally found our answer, high bioavailability powdered fish oil! For this purpose, we utilize a novel fish oil-lysine complex called AvailOm® which not only provides fish oil in a convenient powder form, it also markedly enhances fish oil absorption! By having access to AvailOm®, we could now finally formulate a Mr. Happy-esque stack in an easy to manufacture dry powder capsule. We decided to give our own spin on the Mr. Happy stack, dialing in the areas that we personally wanted to see improved.
OmegaTAU is formulated with the following ingredients:
OmegaTAU has a very interesting set of effects that spans a wide range of cognitive enhancement goals. First and foremost, OmegaTAU provides all of the building blocks for cellular membranes, namely DHA, Uridine and Choline.* Furthermore, OmegaTAU specifically is designed around enhancing neuronal membrane function and going even deeper, enhancing synaptic formation and function.* This makes OmegaTAU an excellent candidate for any nootropic enthusiast looking to generally enhance their brain health and cognitive function, by laying a strong foundation.* This also makes OmegaTAU a great daily supplement that will likely help enhance the activity of more exotic nootropics and plants.* The way we often use OmegaTAU at the office is like a nootropic “multivitamin”. Basically providing the fuel we need for the neurological goals we are working towards.
A more surprising effect is that OmegaTAU appears to help sensitize the dopaminergic system, which has the added benefits of making us more sensitive to commonly utilized stimulants such as caffeine.* This can prove majorly beneficial for those of us who wish to lower our caffeine intake while still reaping most of the caffeine benefits we desire. With this in mind, OmegaTAU is also a great stack for enhancing overall mood and mental clarity.*
The inclusion of both fish oil and sesamin may also add another effect to this stack, enhancing metabolic health!* It has been shown that sesamin by itself has a good effect on enhancing hepatic fatty acid oxidation which is great for overall metabolic health and also liver health.* However, it was found that when sesamin was supplemented alongside fish oil, the hepatic fatty acid oxidation rate went up significantly. This indicates a highly synergistic effect between the two and further indicates the fact that OmegaTAU is a great daily general health and cognition booster!*
To sum it up, when you take OmegaTAU daily, you may experience
OmegaTAU is a wonderful stack due to the fact that it can be taken by practically anyone and will lay a solid foundation for further cognitive enhancement.* If you are just getting started with nootropics, this is a great first stack to try. That being said, if you are a long-term nootropic user, and you are looking to squeeze out some extra performance from your existing nootropics, then OmegaTAU could help enhance the efficacy of your favorite nootropics!*
As we mentioned above, OmegaTAU could also prove very helpful in enhancing the activity of other nootropics and supplements. We encourage experimenting with this, but to get the ball rolling, we have designed three different stack ideas utilizing OmegaTAU
The Focus and Motivation Stack: OmegaTAU + Sabroxy
OmegaTAU helps enhance dopaminergic sensitivity, which makes it a great candidate for combining OmegaTAU with supplements that have dopaminergic effects. While many choices would be possible here, we determined that combing OmegaTAU with a dopamine reuptake inhibitor would prove most beneficial. The reasoning behind this is that uridine appears to help enhance dopamine output from activated dopaminergic neurons. We can then further capitalize on this enhanced dopamine output by blocking the reuptake of this extra dopamine, thereby producing synergistic effects on dopaminergic activity. Luckily, Sabroxy is an excellent natural dopamine reuptake inhibitor and we find that it goes great with OmegaTAU when the goal is enhanced focus, motivation and energy.*
The Memory Stack: OmegaTAU + Magtein
Keeping with the idea that OmegaTAU provides the basic building blocks for neuronal membranes, we thought it would be interesting to combine it with a basic mineral that is very important for cognitive function too, magnesium, but why stop there? Instead of going with any old magnesium, we decided to stack OmegaTAU with Magtein. Magtein, which is Magnesium L-Threonate, is a patented magnesium supplement that has been specifically designed for enhancing neuronal magnesium levels. This has the added benefit that magtein is significantly more memory-enhancing than other forms of magnesium. With this in mind, stacking magtein with OmegaTAU goes back to the idea of covering your basics and laying a strong foundation, but now it is just doing it at an even higher level since we get to focus on neuronal magnesium levels too!*
The Mood Stack: OmegaTAU + Polygala Tenuifolia
OmegaTAU already has a nice mood-boosting effect, however, this effect can certainly be pushed a little further by utilizing Polygala tenuifolia. Similar to Sabroxy, Polygala tenuifolia is also a dopamine reuptake inhibitor, albeit to a lesser degree than Sabroxy. However, when taken together with OmegaTAU the dopaminergic effects may be slightly more pronounced yet still exceptionally smooth, which provides a very interesting and uplifting mood boost. Polygala tenuifolia also helps promote neuroplasticity, and thus when taking into account the effect of OmegaTAU on synaptic formation and function, it will go great with the neuroplasticity promoting effects of Polygala tenuifolia and this combined effect should further help promote mood.*
As a dietary supplement, take 2 OmegaTAU capsules daily.

This stack is amazing ! Really helps you feel in tune with the day and overcoming stress. This stack is great in helping you think to yourself with the "I got this mentality" Plus from hearing the ND podcast (Highly Recommend), I learned that OmegaTau increases caffeine sensitivity and its true after completing 3 weeks this effect was true. I went from consuming 400mg a day to only 100 - 150 max daily which is nice because caffeine now hits me harder and lasts longer throughout the day. Thank you ND for providing outstanding products !!
This was a good move on ND's part. The happy stack seems to either help people by miles or not at all. Luckily, I am the former. I love that I can purchase one item to get all of these benefits instead of purchasing fish oil, TAU, alpha GPC, b vitamins, etc. separately!
I didn’t really notice much since it’s really subtle for me. But if you’re feeling a little blue, this will help for sure. But there are no stimulating feelings so don’t expect to feel anything too in your face like caffeine. I think the best way to describe it is you feel more content rather than feeling like things are pointless.
I know there has been some controversy on the safety of Uridine, but after analyzing the studies showing danger, it seems like that risk is way overblown, and the studies weren't even testing supplemental uridine, but genetically modified animals that couldn't properly recycle uridine and had excessive levels. Anyway, after years since first hearing about the Mr Happy Stack, I jumped off the diving board with OmegaTau. The effort that went into designing this formulation is cleary immense. It is basically a bunch of key brain power nutrients, almost all of which I have taken separately before. Since beginning OmegaTau twice daily, I have been happier, and more motivated. My thoughts, memories, motivation, and verbal fluency have been stabilized at a more coherent and consistent level. I have happened to find it easier to get myself outside 3 times a week for long runs, and things have just felt better all around. It's not completely magic, and it is subtle, but this will likely be a staple of mine for a long time. I take a lot of other supplements and change things up regularly, not always with the most scientific single variable approach, so take this with a grain of salt. However, I do think this is a great stack, and very cool use of a powdered, high bioavailability fish oil.
I recently completed a 30 day cycle of OmegaTau, and I have to say, I'm really impressed. I have tried the Mr. Happy Stack combination in the past; however, it never quite worked for me. It would make depressed, and I would feel all around lethargic. But this has been the complete opposite! After a month of taking this stack, my mood has improved, and my productivity has been through the roof. I'm a full-time student majoring in computer science--normally I'm just capable of keeping up with the course workload. But as of recent, I've had a dramatic change in my ability to sit down and tackle work, and I can proudly say that I'm roughly 2-3 weeks ahead in all of my classes. I just ordered another bottle for myself--I think this is something I'll be taking daily for a long time. I will note, however, this does give me a minor headache after I take it. It seems to subside within an hour or two. That is the only negative effect I've had.
Didn’t get the desired effect because of the Alpha-GPC. Headache no matter what, even with 75mg :( I give 3 stars; because my experience with the product is 1 star, but the quality of the product is 5 star.
