It should probably be noted your body is unlikely to absorb nanoenzymes through the digestive tract. Even regular enzymes or polypeptides not really absorbed intact through the digestive system. Even if the nanoenzymes could train the immune system, they would be of little value in a health drink. Finally, anything mucking with the immune system should probably go through the healthcare system, not a health drink.

:My interpretation is that the nucleic acid nanoenzymes ''are'' viral. With or without a capsid shell (some can work that way, and in concentrated amounts there may be some flock-like protection from the environment) and other helper-proteins (not always necessary, if the D/RNA exposes the right key elements from its packing to create enzymish active sites), what you've basically got there is a whole lot of virus... erm, viruses/viri/viroxen... Which ''of course'' trains your immune system to handle a virus, or you'll die trying. [[Special:Contributions/141.101.99.94|141.101.99.94]] 12:09, 18 June 2021 (UTC)

::The details of what nanoenzymes actually are is irrelevant to the point here, it's just meant as an example of the fancy sounding claims on all sorts of the many supplement products on the market that then claim they help the immune system or other generalized health benefits, but have not experiments or testing done to actually back up or their claims, and make no effort to do so.--[[Special:Contributions/172.70.126.2|172.70.126.2]] 23:18, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
 
 
Actually what Cueball proposes does not even meet the requirements of a randomized controlled trial, he seems to be suggesting an exploratory field test; which is much less rigourous than a randomised controlled trial. Of course even that is too much for white hat. [[Special:Contributions/172.69.55.82|172.69.55.82]] 15:06, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
