Telomere Support Frequently Asked Questions

What is Telomere Support?

This is a revolutionary new ground breaking field on supporting your telomerase enzymes.

Ok. Now what's a telomerase enzyme?

Telomerase is an enzyme that has been shown to build and maintain the DNA and chromosomes CAP at the the ends of the strand of the DNA.

As you age that telomere, which is the overcoat, at the ends of the Telemere, become shorter and shorter to the point that the DNA and choromosome strand begins to unravel, which cause the cells to become less efficient at their functioning. Every single cell in the human body has a telomere cap.

The enzyme that actually builds and maintains this telomere cap is called telomerase. The decline and eventual DEFICIENCY of Telomerase is the reason why we age.

As your cells reproduce themselves as you live your daily lifespan, the body gets to a certain point to where it no longer is efficient in the capacity to function, meaning adequate amounts of enzyme.

How long do I need to take Telezyme before I feel any results?

The instructions say that you should take these for several years before you may notice anything.

How long will I need to take Telezyme?

This is pretty much for as long as you desire to maintain your telomeres.

Every time a cell replicates, its telomere will become shorter, eventually causing cell death once the telomere attrition has reached a critical length. It is estimated that human telomeres lose about 100 base pairs from their telomeric DNA during each mitosis (cell division).

At that rate the telomeres would be completely gone after approximately 125 divisions. Shorter telomeres imply a shorter life span for a cell, essentially giving it a finite lifespan, depending on the number of cell divisions left with each telomere.

It is difficult to know when your cell divisions occur, approximately once every 6-8 months. That is why you must have a perpetual supply of telomerase enzymes in your system to ensure that you have adequate amounts to support your telomere cap.

How long have we known about telomeres?

There have been nearly twenty years of research and study surrounding telomeres and telomerase enzymes. In fact this research resulted in a Nobel Prize being awarded to three scientists.

Nobel Prize?

Yes. The 2009 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was jointly awarded to Elizabeth Blackburn, Carol Greider and Jack Szostak for the discovery how chromosomes are protected by telomeres and the telomerase enzyme http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/medicine/laureates/2009/press.html.

How important is this discovery?

This is simply the biggest breakthru in human anatomy – bigger even than the mapping of the human genome! Now we finally understand that the core enzymatic level is what dictates the life of the cell and it's ability to reproduce itself. Now we know. It effects everything else beyond that.

Is this a genetically modified product?

No.

How about organic?

This is a totally 100% organic product and packaged in a vegicap.

Can this product prevent cancer?

It is too early to tell. We should stick to what we know as FACT and not get caught up in HYPE, or what it MIGHT or MIGHT NOT do!

We know what the telomerase enzyme does. It builds and maintains the telemeres that are related to the aging process. And we know that it has a tremendous influence on the cellular reproductive rate as well as the efficiency of functioning capacity of the cells of the body. This is what we know for a fact. It has been proven and verified and the nobel prize awarded for.

Anything beyond what we do know would be pure conjecture and speculation.

I've heard that enzymes are good for digestion. Does this help with digestion?

No. Telezyme does not assist in digestion. It does not substitute for good nutrition. And it is not a vitamin or nutrient.
