STUDY OBJECTIVES:
To determine whether or not supplementation with a formula of specifi c, concentrated nucleotides (NUCELL®) can reduce the severity of specific symptoms, secondary infections and healing time after non-induced and natural infection by cold or flu virus.

HYPOTHESIS
There is a signifi cant difference with nucleotide supplementation in reducing the length and severity of some specific cold or flu symptoms as compared to a placebo.

CONCLUSIONS
As per evidence and data obtained and analysed during/after this double blind trial, we conclude the following:

The specific nucleotide product, NUCELL(R) signifi cantly reduced the following symptoms suffered as a result of a common cold or flu infection or secondary infection there from:

The severity of these symptoms was attenuated: Dry mouth, sore throat, muscle aches and headaches.

Over the first 6 days of taking either nucell or a placebo, the discomfort level was on average:

Higher antibody levels indicate a greater immune response.

Salivary IgA (antibody) concentrations were similar at recruitment but subsequent to this were for the most part higher for the nucleotide group.
