DOSAGE AND USAGE INFORMATION
Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA):
No RDA has been established. Oral supplements are destroyed in
the intestine and do not get absorbed. Therefore they can exert
NO influence.
What this nucleic acid does:
Nucleic acids form the substance of DNA (desoxyribonucleic
acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid). "Messages" are transferred
because of the actions of the purine and pyrimidine bases of DNA
and RNA, which include adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine.
These messages form encoded genetic instructions that guide the
development of all living cells.
Supplements have been advertised for oral use, topical use (as
in cosmetics) and injectable use. "Cellular therapy," once
popular in Europe, is the practice of injecting preparations of
cells from young animals into humans with the false promise of
replacing "worn-out" tissues in aging human bodies. These
treatments are extremely expensive, dangerous and have been
completely discredited.
No positive effects can be possible with oral forms.
Available as
Tablets and capsules: Swallow whole with full glass of liquid.
Don't chew or crush. Take with meals or 1 to 1-1/2 hours after
meals unless otherwise directed by your doctor.These are
normally found in health-food stores.
Injectable forms are administered by doctor or nurse.
