Greetings from Carole Taylor ... your Weekly Update ~ Oct 10

 

Telomeres ~ Why Are they So Important?

Telomeres can be described as the protective DNA caps at the end of each of our chromosomes. Telomeres form a sort of buffer to help protect our DNA from copying errors as our cells divide.

Nobel scientists have likened telomeres to the plastic caps on the end of your shoelaces (aglets) that protect them from splitting and fraying.

Telomere Length ~ a Hallmark of Biological Aging

Normal cell division leads to gradual shortening of the protective telomeres over time ~ a process associated with normal aging.

Comparing the length of telomeres from newborns (8,000 base pairs) to adults (3,000 base pairs) to elderly individuals (1,500 base pairs) demonstrates the real-world relevance of telomere shortening.

Lifestyle factors such as poor diet, stress, and exposure to environmental toxins are linked to premature telomere shortening as well as other negative consequences for health.

IsaGenesis ~ Plant-based Telomere Support

Beyond a healthy lifestyle, research has pinpointed specific herbs and nutrients that can support more youthful aging, specifically through the protection of your telomeres.

For those wishing to maintain a youthful energy and vitality, IsaGenesis provides a unique blend of antioxidants and phytonutrient-rich herbal ingredients ~ reinforcing the body’s own defences against oxidative stress and free radicals that can accelerate the effects of aging.

Milk thistle ~ Milk thistle contains compounds including silymarin with demonstrated liver-supporting and free-radical defence properties.

 

Ashwagandha ~ This popular herb has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine and is known for its benefits in supporting the body’s ability to adapt to stress.


Horny goat weed ~ supports healthy aging through different mechanisms, including support for immune and endocrine systems and benefits for metabolism and organ function.


Grape seed extract ~ has a high concentration of polyphenol flavonoids, which have been shown to support parameters related to heart health and normal platelet function.


Turmeric ~ This popular curry spice contains curcumin and other related curcuminoid phytonutrients that have benefits for brain and immune health along with support free radical defenses in the body.


Giant knotweed ~ a natural source of the potent phytonutrient resveratrol, also found in red wine, that provides and immune system support and has been linked with benefits for healthy aging.


Pomegranate ~ This fruit has significant beneficial properties related to its natural polyphenol content. It has been linked to benefits for heart health, metabolism, and detoxification systems.


White, green, and black tea ~ Various types of tea leaves contain biologically active compounds associated with many health benefits, including support for cognitive function and the circulatory system.


Asian ginseng ~ Shown to help support normal metabolism and circulation as well as healthy immune response.


Bilberry ~ Provides support for cognitive function and the brain’s response to oxidative stress.

 

IsaGenesis Clinical Trial

Although it is difficult to create a study directly measuring the length of telomeres, scientists can measure the effect of IsaGenesis on the concentration of enzymes known to be biomarkers of healthy aging.

One such enzyme is catalase. Catalase is a protective enzyme, naturally produced by cells, that is key to defending against cellular damage caused by harmful, free-radical generating peroxides.

Supporting the body’s defence against oxidative stress helps maintain normal telomere function and mitigates many of the factors that contribute to premature telomere shortening.

In a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial, IsaGenesis significantly increased levels of catalase in healthy adults after 12 weeks of daily use.

Overall, the researchers observed a 15 percent increase in catalase levels in those participants who supplemented with IsaGenesis, compared to participants who received a placebo.

 

Get All the Science behind IsaGenesis

Listen in as Director of Research and Science Dr. Eric Gumpricht explains the connection between IsaGenesis, telomeres, and healthy aging. He discusses the evolution of Product B to IsaGenesis, the research into its efficacy, and its novel ingredients.

 

In conjunction with a healthy diet, weight and stress management, quality and sufficient sleep, and regular exercise, IsaGenesis may provide the most optimal protection against age-accelerated telomere shortening and a longer, healthier life.
