ImmuCell

Nucleotides, acacia fibre, vitamin B2 and biotin in one formula. 60 vegan capsules. Selected by Vitarium from the Natuurlijk.fit range.

What is in it

Capsule shell: pullulan (cassava extract, vegan, kosher and halal). No fillers, colourings or preservatives.

What this formula does

• Vitamin B2 contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and to the maintenance of normal mucous membranes. With 1 capsule a day this formula provides 1 mg riboflavin-5-phosphate (71% RI).
• Biotin contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and to normal psychological function. With 1 capsule a day this formula provides 50 µg biotin (100% RI).
• Vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system. With 1 capsule a day 15% RI is reached — exactly the threshold below which the claim would not be allowed.
• The nucleotide blend contains the 5 semi-essential nucleotides (adenine, cytosine, thymine, guanine, uracil). Nucleotides are the building blocks of DNA and RNA. No EFSA-authorised health claim — therefore only a factual description.
• The acacia fibre serves as a carrier and naturally delivers arabinogalactans. No EFSA-authorised claim for acacia fibre — hence a factual description only.

Important safety information

• Do not use with gout or a known raised uric acid level — nucleotides contain purines that can raise the uric acid load
• Do not use after an organ transplant — nucleotide and acacia fibre components can interfere with the immune balance
• Do not use while taking immunosuppressants (such as after a transplant or with some autoimmune medication)
• Do not use during pregnancy or breastfeeding without consulting your midwife or doctor
• When using medication: leave at least 2 hours between anything containing fibre and your medication
• Do not exceed the recommended dose

Dosage

Vitarium therapeutic editorial

Nucleotide formulas are a lesser-known corner of the orthomolecular spectrum. The reasoning is biochemically easy to follow — DNA and RNA building blocks are used continuously by dividing cells, and in periods of increased cell division or tissue repair the need can rise — but human clinical evidence is modest. For anyone considering a nucleotide top-up, a dietitian or orthomolecular practitioner is usually the right direction to ask; for general maintenance the added value over a good multivitamin plus fibre is not self-evident. The combination with B2 and biotin within this formula means the authorised vitamin claim can be carried — which keeps the page tidy in compliance terms without attaching efficacy claims to the nucleotides themselves.

This product is a food supplement. Do not exceed the recommended dose. A varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle are important; a food supplement is not a substitute for these. Keep out of reach of young children. Consult an expert in case of pregnancy, lactation, medication use or illness.
