Dr. Peter Köppel began working with nucleotides more than 30 years ago.
Dr. Köppel: "I started out in the animal sector. We have gained a lot of
experience with the effects of nucleotides in this area
." Animals can be fed specifically, and such
nutritional experiments are particularly well suited to gaining experience with
nutrients. Dr. Köppel: "The trials showed that
nucleotides massively strengthen the immune system, improve intestinal
activity and activate liver function. Later, with my own company
, I was able to extend the studies to humans and
found the good results fully confirmed in animal experiments. With these
studies, I wanted to prove to myself and my customers that the products
I bring to the market are safe and effective. Both are top priorities for
me as a scientist."
What are nucleotides?
Quality of the nucleotides
The nucleotides are extracted from a yeast and split into the individual
molecules (nucleotides) by
hydrolysis and then an ion exchanger. We then mix the individual
nucleotides again in a ratio that has been found to be ideal for
humans (based on the ratio found in breast milk). The process is very complex and this is where
the big difference lies between the nucleotides that always occur in food
and our nucleotide mix.
Every single batch is checked for harmful substances
and quality on arrival and departure. The laboratory is in Switzerland and is checked as standard. Nevertheless,
the laboratory that produces the nucleotides in Switzerland has a
quality control plan that provides for external analyses in addition to internal analyses of the
individual batches. The analyses
are carried out exclusively by external, independent specialist laboratories
accredited for
food testing. This means that all tests are carried out
as standard, beyond the legal requirements, out of
own interest.
Our nucleotides especially for athletes at a glance:
NucleoSports Pro
We have developed these capsules especially for the needs of athletes. They are designed to support you in your maximum performance and rapid regeneration. They contribute to normal amino acid synthesis and cell division.
Nucleotides - Sport Package
We have put together this package especially for endurance and strength athletes. It consists of our Banana Nucleotide Protein Powder and our Immune & Cell Nucleotide Capsules. The package contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system and provides you with amino acids and proteins.
Nucleotides protein powder vanilla
Our nucleotide protein powder is ideal for athletes. It offers you a special nucleotide mix that is combined with valuable proteins. At the same time, it also provides amino acids from several vegan sources. You can easily integrate the nucleotide protein powder into your diet and consume it in the form of a shake or add it to other drinks, muesli and much more.
Frequently asked questions about nucleotides
Who is Dr. rer. nat. Peter Köppel?
Dr. rer. nat. Peter Köppel is a biochemist, immunologist and author from Switzerland and one of the world's most renowned researchers in the field of nucleotides. Dr. Köppel became known through a breakthrough in research with the single selection of nucleotides from a special yeast. These individually selected nucleotides are of great importance for research and medicine. He and his team have been researching the optimal combination of the smallest biomolecules in the human body, nucleotides, for over 30 years.
What are nucleotides?
Nucleotides are the elementary building blocks of DNA and RNA - the molecules that enable cell division, repair processes and energy transfer (ATP), among other things.
Many central bodily functions start at this level - where nucleotides form the basis of biological processes.
Why do I need nucleotides in sport?
Performance begins in your DNA. Fast and error-free cell division is crucial for protein synthesis and energy transport. For example, ATP (the energy currency in your body) is dependent on nucleotides. Your body uses a lot of these, especially during intensive training.
Nucleotides help your cells to renew, repair and regenerate faster - precisely the processes that are crucial for athletes.
Does the immune system need nucleotides?
Yes, definitely. Your immune system protects you from viruses and bacteria every day. A key role is played by antibodies, which specifically recognize and neutralize pathogens. In order for cells to form antibodies, they need nucleotides as building blocks of DNA and RNA. Supporting micronutrients are vitamin C, vitamin B12, vitamin E and folate. These nutrients contribute to the normal function of the immune system within the NRV.
Are there differences in the quality of nucleotide products?
Yes, clearly. NukleoSports Pro from vegana natura is based on a clear composition and testing: including maltodextrin, fructo-oligosaccharides, sodium citrates (acidity regulator), vitamin forms (vitamin C/E/B12, vitamin D) and L-lysine. Cologne List® product, GMO-free. The most important difference lies in the individual selection of the nucleotides and their targeted arrangement within the formulation - this ensures that the composition is precisely tailored to the desired effect.
Why nucleotides "single-selected"?
Individually selected nucleotides are available as monophosphates and can be efficiently absorbed and quickly introduced into the nucleotide metabolism. Our raw material contains precisely defined, highly pure nucleotides such as sodium salts of AMP, IMP and UMP as well as CMP and GMP. The composition, dosage and bioavailability are reproducible. L-lysine, L-methionine, inositol, D-biotin, calcium D-pantothenate, glucosamine salt, inactivated nutritional yeast and maltodextrin are also used.
Are there any studies on supplementation with nucleotides?
Yes, they do exist! Research shows that faster cell division has a significant effect on a healthy immune system, healthy intestinal flora and energy balance, although these are general correlations from studies and not individual recommendations. Sufficient nucleotides are the prerequisite for error-free and clean cell division, as part of orderly cell processes and energy metabolism.
