Nucleotides Explained
What are
nucleotides?
Nucleotides
are the building blocks of DNA and RNA, with DNA consisting of 3 billion
nucleotides. Every organism must create new cells to continue living.
Cell division is an important part of this process. With the help of nucleotides
and RNA, a typical cell divides, 'unzipping' the DNA and creating two
new cells. For example, in an adult human, millions of cells divide every
second just to maintain the body!
When our
body is fighting bacterial or viral infections, or is under stress, we
need additional new cells for fighting off infection and coping with stress.
Nucell provides
the body with ready-made nucleotides and RNA, which helps speed up the
process of creating new cells.
Certain living
cells, such as those of the liver, are able to cover their needs of nucleotide
building blocks, but nucleotides from other sources (such as food) are
required by:
intestinal mucosal cells
bone marrow cells
some brain cells
white blood cells
red blood cells
Nucell is
a unique formulation, from natural sources, of high-level concentrations
of nucleotides and RNA.
What is
DNA?
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)
is nucleic acid found in all living cells and and transmits genetic information
from parents to offspring in the form of genes.
What is
RNA?
RNA (ribonucleic acid) is a
nucleic acid involved in the production of proteins. It acts as a 'messenger'
for the DNA.
