TURN BACK THE CLOCK BY LENGTHENING YOUR TELOMERES: CENEGENICS CAROLINAS OFFERS PATENTED SUPPLEMENT TA-65

May 22, 2012, Charleston, S.C. - As part of its comprehensive age management program, Cenegenics Carolinas offers the nutraceutical TA-65®, a patented supplement that targets shortened telomeres, one of the primary causes of aging. Preliminary results using the TA-65® supplement appear to slow down the telomere shortening process and may even cause some telomeres to lengthen, which could mean previously aging cells are younger than before.

TA-65 is an all-natural molecule that is isolated from the Astragalus root. It is known as a telomerase activator. Most human cells have the potential to live a lot longer than they do. Actually human cells have the potential to be immortal and live forever. Whether they "just live a lot longer" or are actually immortal is directly related to the expression of an enzyme that is present in almost all cells but "turned off." That enzyme is called telomerase and TA-65 turns it on.

Telomerase is an enzyme that replenishes a portion of telomeres with each round of cell division, and protects telomeres. Oxidative stress, which causes DNA damage, has been shown to hasten the shortening of telomeres in cell culture. In short, telomeres are the protective end-caps of DNA at both ends of every chromosome, and multiple studies indicate that critically short telomeres are primarily responsible for aging and age-related diseases.

Can you just buy TA-65 online and take it? You can, but there are no guarantees that what you're getting is actually TA-65-not to mention the fact that not everyone needs supplementation with nutraceuticals and the dose should be carefully monitored based on lab work. Besides offering the top of the line in nutraceuticals like TA-65, Cenegenics Carolinas has a partnership with Life Length®, a leading telomere testing and services company, to offer the testing and analysis of critically short telomeres by taking a patient's blood sample.

Dr. Mickey Barber, CEO and CMO of Cenegenics Carolinas, is also a Cenegenics patient and didn't mind sharing her own experience with TA-65®: "I recently saw someone who asked me if I had had plastic surgery on my face since I saw him a few months ago. I told him no-the only change has been that I have been taking TA-65!"

Suzanne Somers is currently on a media tour for her new book, Bombshell: Explosive Medical Secrets That Will Redefine Aging, which includes a section on TA-65 and seeing the results of the powerful product first hand. Dr. Mickey Barber is listed as a preferred provider for TA-65 and Somers's tour has generated a lot of interest.
