DNA (generic ingredient entry)

G_DNA_GENERIC
Confusion riskBack to all terms

What does this word mean?

An ingredient-list entry covering DNA from a wide range of sources and degrees of degradation, not specific to PDRN.

High confusion risk

The entry spans multiple DNA sources and degradation states and overlaps with PDRN.

Expanded note

The entry spans multiple DNA sources and degradation states and overlaps with PDRN. The INCIDecoder path also lists 50 measured products for it. Plain DNA is treated as a weak match only when nothing more specific is available, never as confirmed PDRN. If an ingredient list shows plain DNA, check whether a more precise registered name such as Sodium DNA or Hydrolyzed DNA is present.

A real example from our data

Not a generic example.

Records in the site product database whose dna_ingredient is the generic DNA entry belong to this category and should be labelled as having an unconfirmable source and degradation state.
