In this study, the following were tested individually and in mixtures: (1) α-lipoic acid, (1) green tea extract, (2) dimethylaminoethanol L-bitartrate (DMAE L-bitartrate), (3) N-acetyl hydrochloride -L-cysteine (HCL), (4) chlorella powder, (5) L-carnosine, (6) vitamin D3, (7) rhodiola PE 3%/1%, (8) glycine, (9) red wine extract french, (10) chia, (11) broccoli seed extract and (12) astragalus (TA-65). Some of the compounds increased telomerase activity and combinations of the higher-ranking compounds were able to significantly increase telomerase activity, from 51% to 290%, relative to controls.

In this study, we evaluated the effects of a combination of nutraceutical supplements (NS) on telomere length (LT) in healthy volunteers without a medical history of any disease. Among the supplements is D3&K2.

Astragalus increases the production of telomerase, the enzyme that controls telomeres that play a key role in cell replication, cancer and human aging. Cycloastragenol inhibits the aging process of cells and improves their response to fight viral infections.

Spanish cancer scientists identified another compound in astragalus, called TA-65, which also activates telomerase, significantly increasing average telomere length, glucose tolerance, osteoporosis and skin fitness.
