DNA Damage, Cell Repair, & ASEA Cell Signaling Supplement

DNA, short for deoxyribonucleic acid, contains genetic instructions for the development and function of living things.

DID YOU KNOW the difference between DNA & genes? DNA is like the alphabet, while genes are like the words. Genes are made of DNA.

DID YOU KNOW DNA can be damaged? In fact, our DNA is damaged tens of thousands of times a day. Fortunately, our cells have the ability to repair a lot of this damage. If the damage is not undone it can lead to mutations in our genes that can be the beginning of disease. Thus the correction of DNA damage in all types of cells is important for survival. Common causes of damaged DNA are:

• Radiation, including UV radiation from sun, tanning beds or medical procedures
• chemicals
• atmospheric pollutants associated with oil, coal, cigarette smoke, and automobile exhaust fumes
• stress and the everyday wear and tear of living
