TA-65 MOLECULE

TA-65^® is a proven telomerase activator that was discovered by California biotech company Geron, and licensed to T.A Sciences. Our clients take TA-65 capsules in a 12 month program known as the Patton Protocol. TA-65 turns on the hTERT gene which activates the enzyme telomerase which can lengthen your telomeres. We measure your telomeres before, during and after completing the Protocol to show actual changes in telomere length.

How is TA-65^® made?

TA-65 is a naturally occurring single molecule found in the ancient Chinese herb Astragalus. T.A. Sciences has developed a proprietary process to refine and purify TA-65. Our process begins with tons of plant material harvested from selected farms in one small region in China. These plants are twice as potent as normal plants of the same species grown in other parts of China. In our plant extraction facility, the raw Astragalus root is chopped up and refined. After initial extraction, the base ingredient is further purified and then sent to an outside government testing facility where it is tested for purity, heavy metals, and pesticides. The product is then sent to a FDA certified, start-of-the-art, laboratory for final purification that ends up with 90+% pure TA-65.

Why not simply buy Astragalus extracts in a health food store?

TA-65 is a very rare molecule and is not a simple concentration of the Astragalus plant. As mentioned above, it is a single molecule processed to a purity of over 90%. All the thousands of other molecules have been removed.

Astragalus extracts can be found in most health food stores, but such products contain little or no TA-65. We tested 4 commonly available Astragalus extracts and none of them contained any measureable amounts of TA-65 (the test assay is accurate to one part per million). Our proprietary production process starts with 3 tons of plant material and ends up with capsules that we guarantee contain 5mg of TA-65.
