Cycloastragenol Study:

Study By UCLA On Telomere Activation - November 15th, 2008. Dr. Rita Effros and her UCLA colleagues publish a study in The Journal of Immunology. The in vitro studies show that short term exposure to Cycloastragenol increased telomerase activity in CD8+ T-cells from healthy and HIV-infected individuals. Effros’ study found that Cycloastragenol reduced telomere shortening, supercharged cell antiviral activity, and increased the ability of cells to divide*.

Telomere Studies:

Vitamins and Telomeres - While no one has done human clinical studies regarding Telomerase Activators, we do know that simply taking regular multivitamins that are not meant to induce telomerase, do show an increase in Telomeres in women by 5%. Telomerase Activators hold the promise of a new type of overall health supplement that is specifically made for this purpose*. Read Article
