What it is

Telomere Support (Astragalus) is a specialty & longevity supplement. This complex centres on astragalus and its molecule cycloastragenol, studied for supporting telomerase activity and telomere maintenance. Used in adult dosing protocols in India and internationally, it is sold as a single-ingredient supplement.

How it works

Cycloastragenol can modestly activate telomerase, the enzyme that maintains protective telomere caps on chromosomes, with immune and cellular-ageing relevance in research. Effects are dose-dependent and typically measurable within emerging.

Who should take it

Adults exploring telomere and cellular-ageing support; evidence is emerging.

Avoid / careful

Telomerase activation has theoretical cancer-risk considerations — avoid in active cancer and consult a clinician. Effects on lifespan are unproven.

FAQs

Frequently asked

What are telomeres and why are they important?

Telomeres are protective caps at the ends of chromosomes that shorten with each cell division. Their maintenance is linked to cellular aging and longevity.

How does astragalus relate to telomeres?

Astragalus, specifically its compound cycloastragenol, has been studied for its potential to activate telomerase, an enzyme that can help maintain telomere length.

Are there any safety concerns with telomere support supplements?

Yes, telomerase activation has theoretical implications for cancer risk. Individuals with active cancer should avoid this supplement and consult a healthcare provider.
