Hi @clausewitz, interesting article here! I particularly liked the paper on telomere length and extinction score in lizards, that's something i was not aware of. I'm just a bit skeptical on the natural treatments you present, i think we still lack consistent clinical data on these.
I just wrote an article on the role of telomerase in Lobsters longevity if you are interested:

Cheers !
Yeah, thats the thing, I think a clinical treatment is 10+ years away so this is what we got.
The protocols on TA-65 have reported no side effects and "good patient health", so its elusive, but cell cultures have seen effects in 40% cases, with TA-65, so it seems to work on telomeres non the less, but yeah the function in humans as i stated is hard to pin down :) when it comes to the natural products.
I like the lizard article as well and it was cool to see that they reported strong coherence here.
Telomere length seem important for the ability of ones genes to acclimate and change expressions in a healthy way, or it might just be the all around biochemical pressure put on cells by the higher temperatures, resulting in higher survival due to apoptosis resistance, who knows!
I ll sure check it out, thanks for link :)
Thanks for stopping by!
