Telomeres are the repeated DNA-sequences found at the ends of linear chromosomes that protect DNA from damage during replication. Overtime this shortening of Telomeres are linked to natural aging.
NUTRITION AND TELOMERES LENGTH
1. Astragalus This plant when used at low levels and purified “turns on” the Telomerase and helps maintain Telomere length.
2. Vitamin D Has a positive correlation with Telomere length.
3. Rhodiola Has a positive correlation with Telomere length
4. Magnesium supports Telomere length.
5. Omega-3 High levels of this nutrient is linked to having longer Telomere length.
