Telomeres are the sequences of DNA at the ends of chromosomes. They naturally wear down over time, and shorten when cells replicate, this gradually leads to cell death and aging [1-6]. Enhanced telomere survival through increased telomerase enzyme activity subsequently influences the health of lung, brain, mammary, endothelial, and hematopoietic cell, among others [1-3]. In particular, supplements (e.g., Astragaloside IV) heighten telomere activity and subsequently promote immune system function, cell longevity, anti-aging, and overall health [4-6].
Boost telomere health [1]; DNA and Cellular Health/Longevity [1-3]
Research shows that certain substances (e.g., astragaloside IV) function as telomerase activators. Telomerase is the enzyme that is responsible for maintaining the length of telomeres by adding of guanine-rich repetitive sequences to the ends of telomeres [1-3]. Telomeres are the sequences of DNA at the ends of chromosomes. Enhanced telomerase activity leads to the maintenance of long telomeres, which increases cell survival, this enzyme also influences the activity of immune system cells, and the ability of substances such as astragaloside IV to reactivate the telomerase enzyme also leads to anti-aging as this enzyme protects the ends of chromosomes [4-6]. This book reveals how researchers findings from all over the world cumulatively show that sleep quality, exercise, aspects of diet, and even certain chemicals influence telomerase and telomeres, and that chronic stress, negative thoughts, strained relationships, and even the wrong neighborhoods can alter the survival of telomeres.
