Telomerase Activation

Telomerase Activation

An enzyme called telomerase can slow, stop or even reverse the telomere shortening that happens as we age.5,6 The amount of telomerase in our bodies declines as we get older.4

In 2009, the Nobel Prize for Physiology/Medicine was awarded to three scientists who discovered how telomerase impacts telomere length. Their work explained how the ends of DNA strands are protected by telomeres, and that telomeres are built by telomerase.7 Exposing human cells to telomerase slows cell aging and allows cells to begin copying again.6 Activating telomerase can:

  • Address telomere shortening and cell aging
  • Help cells live longer and continue to function properly
  • Make old cells function as they did when they were younger (by changing gene expression to a younger phenotype)

There are other things we can do that might help restore telomere length or at least slow the loss of telomere length: reduce stress, stop smoking, lose weight, exercise more and eat a healthier diet.2,8,9
