Description

Ribonucleic Acid is a Nucleic Acid that is a long chain of linked Nucleotides - i.e. a Polynucleotide.

 

 

These Substances may Enhance the Synthesis of Endogenous RNA

Amino Acids

 Orotic Acid is essential for the synthesis of endogenous RNA (due to its role as an intermediate in the synthesis of Pyrimidine Nucleotides).

 S-Adenosylmethionine (SAMe) is essential for the production of RNA (SAM functions as a in the production of RNA).  [1]

 RNA Polymerase stimulates the production of RNA from Spermine.

 

Coenzymes

 Coenzyme A facilitates the repair of the body’s endodgenous RNA.

 

Enzymes

 RNA Polymerase catalyzes the production of RNA from endogenous Spermine:

 RNA Polymerase catalyzes the linking of the individual Nucleotides that then form RNA.

 Ribonuclease catalyzes the hydrolysis (breakdown) of RNA into its individual Nucleotides.

 

Hormones

 Human Growth Hormone (hGH) may increase the endogenous production of RNA. 

 

Lipids

 Ginsenoside Rb1 may stimulate the synthesis of endogenous RNA. 

 

Minerals

 Magnesium may facilitate the synthesis of RNA.  [2]

 Zinc may facilitate the synthesis of RNA by enhancing the function of RNA Polymerase.  [3]

 

Nucleic Compounds

 Cytosine is an essential component of RNA.

 

Smart Drugs

 Centrophenoxine may increase the synthesis of (total and messenger (mRNA)) RNA in the Glial Cells of the Brain.  [4]

 Dimethylaminoethanol (DMAE) may increase the content of RNA in the Brain. 

 

Vitamins

 Folic Acid (after conversion to its endogenous Folinic Acid form) is a necessary cofactor for the synthesis of RNA (due to its role in the synthesis of the Nucleic Acid bases that are incorporated into endogenous RNA). 

 Vitamin A may facilitate the synthesis of endogenous RNA. 

 Vitamin B6 may facilitate the synthesis of endogenous RNA.  [5]

 Vitamin B12 may increase the manufacture of RNA in Neurons.  [6]

 

These Herbs may Enhance the Endogenous Synthesis of RNA

 Ginseng - Korean may stimulate the endogenous synthesis of RNA (especially the synthesis of nuclear RNA by the RNA Polymerase enzyme) - this occurs primarily due to the Ginsenoside Rb1 content of Korean Ginseng.  [7]

 Ginseng - Siberian may stimulate the endogenous synthesis of RNA.  [8]

 

Rationale for Supplemental RNA

 Supplemental RNA is broken down (metabolized) within the body to its constituent Purines (Adenine and Guanine) and Pyrimidines (Cytosine and Uracil).  These constituents are then reasembled within the body to form “new” Ribonucleic Acid and Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA).

 

Therapeutic Uses of Supplemental RNA

Aging Process

 Supplemental RNA possibly counteracts the progression of the Aging Process (this is speculated on the basis that the Brain’s levels of RNA decline in tandem with the Aging Process).  [9]
