Vitamin B4 is believed to be water soluble, which is not exactly completely proven yet, but as all the other B vitamins are, it probably is. It is a pre-cursor for other B vitamins to work. It is called, in it's pure form, adenine. In it's two purine bases of nucleotides it forms nucleic acids in RNA and DNA. Adenine binds to thymine (T) to stabilise DNA. Adenine binds to uracil (U) in RNA. Forms adenosine, and the three phosphates added to create ATP (energy). It is given intravenously to identify heart rhythm and to cure or sedate suprasventricular tachycardia (SVT). It used as a secondary messenger in hormonal stimuli. It helps alleviate fatigue, increases antibodies, helps cell formation/growth, prevents cell mutation, balances blood sugar, increases time of the intestinal tract. It is good for the alimentary canal, blood, brain, eyes, gallbladder, adrenal glands, hair, heart, immune system, joints, lungs, muscles, reproductive organs, and gums.
