Harm score: 1 (Natural substances)
Adenosine is an organic compound found in almost all cells of living organisms and is absolutely essential for energy and cell metabolism. This compound also has many other functions in biological systems. One of these is, for example, participation in the synthesis of RNA (ribonucleic acids) and DNA (deoxyribonucleic acids), which are the main carriers of genetic information. Adenosine is also known as 6-amino-9-beta-D-ribofuranosyl-9H-purine and has many other applications in addition to its natural functions in the body.
Adenosine is used in medicines for the treatment of heart rhythm disorders such as supraventricular tachycardia, as well as in antivirals and cytostatics. In cosmetics, adenosine is used for its ability to improve skin elasticity and hydration, prevent wrinkles and skin aging, and stimulate the production of collagen and keratin in the skin and hair follicles. It is therefore often included in anti-aging products, voice shampoos and conditioners. In addition, adenosine is found in foods as a component of some meats and dairy products, but its natural content is much lower than that of dietary supplements and pharmaceuticals. Adenosine also finds applications in biochemical research and molecular biology for the study of cellular processes and enzyme functions.
