Often likened to the tips at the ends of shoelaces without which the laces would unravel, telomeres are found at the ends of chromosomes. Their roles include helping to protect chromosomes from damage and ensuring they are able to replicate properly. Known to shorten with age, research suggests that short telomeres may be associated with the development of disease. Nutrients believed to support telomere protection include selenium and coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), vitamin D, omega-3 fatty acids, folate and vitamin B12.
For optimum health benefits, we recommend taking the above micronutrients as part of a synergistically designed combination.
