What are telomeres?
Telomeres: Our Body’s Age Clock
What is a telomere?
At both ends of every DNA strand in a human cell is a telomere. Telomeres prevent chromosomes from becoming frayed, fusing into rings, or binding with other DNA. (Think: the protective cap that protects shoelaces from unraveling.)
What causes telomere shortening?
As part of your body’s normal aging process, each time a cell divides the telomeres in your DNA get shorter. Add oxidative stress to the mix and telomeres shorten even more rapidly. Oxidative stress is the effect of destructive reactions in your body’s cells caused by too many
free radicals or atoms/molecules that have unpaired electrons. In their search for an electron to make them whole, they destroy other cells. Free radicals come from environmental toxins, such as pollution, chemicals, drugs and radiation, and even naturally occur in your own body when you exercise. Antioxidants fight free radicals and stem the causes of oxidative stress, but a key combination is needed to reduce the effects of oxidative stress on your telomeres.
What happens when telomeres get short?
Your body’s cells are unable to divide (or reproduce) and simply die. Eventually, this instability leads to tissue breakdown potentially leading to premature aging. What it means for you. Based on numerous human studies showing the association of shortened telomeres with premature aging, it is clear a healthy diet rich in nutrients, along with daily exercise, reduced stress and antioxidants found in Product B are your best tools for aggressively fighting the battle against aging.

"Bill Andrews has Spent two decades unlocking the molecular mechanisms of aging. His mission: to extend human life span to 150 years, or die trying...Andres made the decision last September to cut a deal with John W. Anderson, the founder of Isagenix, an Arizona-based 'network marketing' supplement company. This month, Isagenix will launch a youthful aging produc containing several natural compounds that Sierra Sciences has verified to have "telomere-supporting properites..."

"More quickly than anyone imagined, Nobel Prize-winning research is yielding promising compounds for fighting the inevitability of aging at the most fundamental cellular level...We can see stress-induced damage at the level of DNA...we're hoping this motivates people to take control of their health by making lifestyle changes...Isagenix, a company whose supplement-in-waiting is scheduled to Launch before Labor day. The properties of its one or more natural compounds have been vetted in the lab by the molecular biologist who, back in the 90's, helped identify human telomerase for Geron. John Anderson, the businessman and self-taught chemist behind the new venture calls it his 'Product B,' as in future billion-seller."
