Nucleotides in the news

In the News this months, the effect of nucleotide intake in our diet

Nigel Denby the TV dietician and author along with Claire Loades an eminent Nutritionist have published an article in the Network Health Dietitian (NHD) Magazine describing the importance of nucleotides in our food.

The Japanese started supplementing infant formula with nucleotides (the building blocks of life found in DNA) in the 1960s, the west eventually caught up in the late 1980s and early 1990s. From then on research has continues to see if nucleotides were also important to adult health.

Nigel and Louise’s article points to the fact that they now believe that nucleotides should be considered as essential for good health.

A series of studies have shown that supplemented nucleotides can help:

    • Intensive care patients, had reduced infection rates, ventilator days and length of stay in hospital

    • Athletes have been shown to have improved endurance and immune response

    • On IBS nucleotide supplementation resulted in the reduction in diarrhoea, urgency and abdominal pain.
