A recent article in the UK Telegraph stated…
"Ageing is caused by biological changes that make our bodies more vulnerable to illness and disease. As we age, we amass older or ‘senescent’ cells that work to speed up our decline, affecting everything from our hair colour to our mobility. But help may be on its way.
Recent research has shown that when mice were given trial drugs to clear away their senescent cells, they not only developed thicker, more luxuriant fur but they also lived longer and were less prone to a variety of diseases."
Our scientifically-proven supplement TA-65MD® offers similar benefits but is a natural compound extracted from the Astragulus plant which has been used for millennia.
TA Sciences isolated and purified the active ingredient and Nobel Prize winning research indicates that TA-65MD® re-starts senescent cells which then go through the normal life cycle.
So if you want to live a healthier old age, then ridding your body of senescent cells could be the answer!

Telomere FAQs
What are telomeres?
Telomeres are parts of our chromosomes that affect how cells age. Like the plastic tips at the end of shoelaces, telomeres are caps at the end of each strand of DNA that protect it and allow cells to function and reproduce properly. Telomeres shorten each time a cell divides which, over time, leaves genetic DNA unprotected and causes cellular function to be compromised and ultimately leads to cell apoptosis (death) or senescence. Every organ in the body (skin, liver, heart, etc.) is made up of cells, so telomeres are vital to good health.
How do short telomeres impact your health?
The length of a person’s telomeres is a good indicator of their overall health status. Having short telomeres can accelerate the natural aging process on a cellular level. Some cells, like those found in the skin and immune system, are most affected by telomere shortening because they reproduce more often. For a body to stay healthy, it is important to maintain telomere length.
What is Telomerase Activation?
Telomerase is a naturally-occurring enzyme in the body that can slow, stop or even reverse age- and lifestyle-related telomere shortening. Telomerase is produced only inside functioning cells; it is not possible to take biologically active telomerase orally. Scientific research has shown activating telomerase in human cells reduces telomere shortening and allows older cells to begin replicating again. TA-65® is a patented, all natural, plant-based compound which is designed to help maintain or rebuild telomeres by activating telomerase. TA-65MD® nutritional supplements are the first in a line of products based on the TA-65® compound. TA-65MD® nutritional supplements are the first research-based products that specifically target Telomerase Activation. Click here to learn more about TA-65®.
What does it mean to transiently activate telomerase?
Transiently activating telomerase causes no permanent genetic shift in any cells. It keeps healthy cells from becoming senescent or undergoing apoptosis, whereas permanent activation would allow mutated cells to continue to divide endlessly.

40 patients with MetS were recruited to determine the effects of TA-65 on dyslipidemias, hypertension, and oxidative stress in this at-risk population. The study was a double-blind, randomized crossover design in which patients were allocated to consume either 16 mg daily of a TA-65 supplement or a placebo for 12 weeks. Following a 3-week washout, participants were allocated to the alternate treatment for an additional 12 weeks. Anthropometric and biological markers were measured at the end of each treatment. Plasma lipids, glucose, C-reactive protein (CRP), liver enzymes, and glycosylated hemoglobin were measured using a Cobas c-111. Inflammatory cytokines were measured by Luminex technology and markers of oxidative stress by use of spectroscopy.

TA-65 is a dietary supplement based on an improved formulation of a small molecule telomerase activator that was discovered in a systematic screening of natural product extracts from traditional Chinese medicines. This study summarizes the findings on telomere length (TL) changes from a randomized, double blind, placebo controlled study of TA-65 over a 1 year period. The study was conducted on 97 relatively healthy cytomegalovirus-positive subjects aged 53-87 years old. Subjects taking the low dose of TA-65 (250 U) significantly increased TL over the 12 months period, as compared to the placebo group (530 ± 180 bp; p = 0.005), whereas subjects in the placebo group significantly lost TL (290 ± 100 bp; p = 0.01).
