I've noticed that a lot of high-end multivitamins contain DNA.


Where does this DNA/RNA usually come from, and what is it supposed to do in the body?


What are your thoughts on it?

Definitely a marketing tool.

It's probably meant to be a source of nucleosides. The question is, is there enough there to make a difference? Lots of multis have insignificant amounts of the latest hot molecule. That's marketing. If the dose is sufficient, then it's something of value, if you happen to need it.

Some supplements are complete joke!

I remember some protein powders of Universal before even millenium with around 50 substances in it.Even if all these was truly inside it was still so low amounts that would have zero effect.Complete garbage of course!

Haaaaaahaaaaaa

yeh whats up with the multivitamins + antioxidants mega packs where you have a huge label of ingredients to read and all supposely good for you but just so it happens it is such low amount in each capsule, its most useless crap ever. you pay extra for the big bottles which state on the back "take up to 6 a day" and you realize bottle is over sooner than you think. this forum has actual members who are trying to create a brand of multiCRAP vitamin where they combine all the antixodiants vitamins and shit into one. its so lame and its sad.

Now you are trolling. Most multis ARE indeed absolute crap but specifically vimmortal was not (it however is rather expensive and definitely need additional D3 and K2). Also stuff like AOR's Multi Basics 3 (some like Ortho Core, too, but that one really is a kitchen sync approach) are pretty decent options (again provided you add D3 and K2 separately).

But aren't there nucleosides/DNA & RNA in fruits and vegetables?


Also, from where does the DNA/RNA in these vitamins derive? Are they from animals, plant extracts, etc?

There should be at least a little wherever there's a cell. Fruits and vegetables contain a lot of extracellular stuff though. Leaves might be a better source, since there's DNA in chloroplasts as well as nuclei. If you really want a lot of nucleic acid, you probably have to go to some trouble to purify it. A lot of people here take pharmacologic doses of uridine, for example.

Hard to say where vitamin DNA might be from... Yeast, maybe?

Maybe I'm still missing something, but I'm still not entirely sure how all of this (DNA, nucleosides, uridine, RNA) promotes wellness.

Perhaps I should do more research.
