Telomere Plus™ - 30 Capsules

Description

Enzymedica Telomere Plus™

Increases Telomerase Activity

Cellular aging happens when a cell dies due to the shortening of its telomeres. Telomeres are the protective tips at the ends of chromosomes that protect our DNA. To support healthy aging, it is essential to maintain telomere length.

Telomerase is a naturally occurring enzyme that lengthens telomeres and protects them from shortening.

More Info.

Telomere length is what some scientists have used to assess biological age.(1) 

The botanicals in Telomere Plus have been specially formulated to positively influence telomerase:

• Astragalus root (3) may boost energy and provide immune support
• Broccoli seed extract (4) enhances the body’s tolerance to stress.
• Rhodiola extract (5) is often used for cellular protection and to boost enzyme activity.
• Vitamin D3 is known to boost the immune system (6) and has been shown to have a positive correlation with telomere length.
