Compelling evidence has shown that the length of a person's life is dictated by the limited number of times that a human cell can divide. This is controlled by the length of something called telomeres (regions of genetic material at the end of a DNA strand that protect DNA from degradation). There are many herbs and nutrients that help protect against telomere deterioration causing an INCREASE in lifespan. Some of these herbs/nutrients include:

A-Lipoic Acid, Green Tea, DMAE, NAC, Chlorella, L-Carnosine, Vitamin D, Rhodiola, Glycine, Red Wine, Chia Seeds, Broccoli Seed Extract, and Astragalus.
