Dietary nucleotides: a scholarly review exploring their potential role in supporting immunity, tissue repair, and healthy ageing, inviting further investigation.

Dietary Nucleotides and Healthy Ageing: Biological Rationale and Current Evidence
Key Takeaways
  • Authors propose exogenous nucleotides may act as conditionally essential nutrients for immune activation and cell proliferation.
  • Dietary sources such as edible fungi, yeasts, and mushrooms are highlighted as primary suppliers of nucleosides and nucleotides.
  • The review concludes evidence is suggestive but insufficient and calls for further research on biosynthesis regulation and functional impacts.
