HelloPharmacist Scorecard of RNA/DNA 100/100 by Solgar

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 3 of its 3 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains 3 active ingredients: DNA, RNA, and debittered brewer's yeast. DNA and RNA are nucleic acids — the molecules that carry genetic instructions in cells.

Brewer's yeast is a type of fungus used as a nutritional supplement, usually debittered (processed to remove harsh flavor) and often rich in B vitamins and minerals. The tablet also contains inactive ingredients: vegetable cellulose, stearic acid, and silica, which are standard binders and fillers that help hold the tablet together.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded Brewer's Yeast's overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports Brewer's Yeast for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredient's overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

For brewer's yeast, the evidence shows it's possibly effective for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). For other conditions — Clostridioides difficile infection, influenza, high cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia), and hay fever (allergic rhinitis) — the evidence we hold is insufficient to rate whether it works.

We have no effectiveness data in our records for the DNA and RNA ingredients in this product.

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Brewer's yeast is generally well tolerated in food amounts, though it can cause gas and flatulence. In concentrated supplement doses, the most common side effects are flatulence and migraine-type headaches in sensitive people.

Rare but serious concerns include fungemia (a fungal infection in the bloodstream) and anaphylaxis in people with yeast sensitivity. The safety of concentrated brewer's yeast supplements during pregnancy and breastfeeding hasn't been well studied, so there isn't enough data to know either way — talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you if you're pregnant or nursing.

People with weakened immune systems should be cautious.

At least one ingredient has a documented Major-severity interaction. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?

  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Major.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 136 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before taking this product, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you're on an MAOI antidepressant (the most serious risk is a blood pressure spike), an antidiabetes medication (increased low blood sugar risk), lithium, or an antifungal drug. Also mention this product if you have a weakened immune system or a history of yeast sensitivity.

How can one product interact with so many drugs?
RNA/DNA 100/100 contains 3 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Does this product actually do anything?
Brewer's yeast in this product is possibly effective for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). For other conditions like high cholesterol, hay fever, or fungal infections, we don't have enough evidence to know if it works. We have no effectiveness data on the DNA and RNA ingredients.
Will it give me gas?
Yes, flatulence and gas are the most common side effects people report with brewer's yeast supplements. A small number of people also get migraine-type headaches. These effects are usually mild, but if you're sensitive to yeast products, you might experience more intestinal discomfort.

The inactive ingredients are vegetable cellulose, stearic acid, and silica — standard binders and fillers that help hold the tablet together.
Why can't you check DNA and RNA for interactions?
We don't hold interaction data for those ingredients in our records, so we can't tell you whether they interact with medications. The brewer's yeast content is what we have information on.
What is debittered brewer's yeast?
Brewer's yeast is a fungus used in brewing beer and as a nutritional supplement. Debittered means it's been processed to remove the harsh, bitter flavor so it's easier to take as a supplement. It's naturally rich in B vitamins and minerals.
