THE IMMUNE SYSTEM & TA-65

The importance of Telomerase Activation in maintaining a healthy immune system as we age.
Findings from 1) T.A. Sciences' Pivotal 2005 Anti-aging Trial, and 2) other experts in the field of Telomere Biology.

1. T.A. Sciences' Pivotal 2005 Anti-aging Trial:
   This groundbreaking research trial confirmed that TA-65 is bioavailable after ingestion, a critical first step. Then, the Trial showed dramatic positive effects on two key markers of immune efficacy:
   
2. March 2006 edition of Experimental Gerontology: Researchers at the Lowance Center for Human Immunology, Emory University School of Medicine, reported:
   

   "Telomere length is important in constraining the replicative potential of cells; cellular systems that are dependent on cell replenishment for renewal or on cell proliferation for functionality are highly sensitive to telomeric erosion. Cell replication invariably leads to telomere loss, which, in some cellular systems, is partially compensated for by telomerase activity. In addition to this typical telomere loss, several mechanisms of sporadic telomere loss exist. Heterogeneity in age-dependent telomere loss can be a consequence of increased cellular turnover during a lifetime, accelerated telomeric DNA damage, or defects in telomere repair. The immune system is a prime example of a highly dynamic cellular system, for which telomere maintenance is pivotal." **
