Higher Beta-Carotene Levels Linked to Younger Biological Age

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.

Nutrients believed to support telomere protection include selenium and coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), vitamin D, omega-3 fatty acids, folate and vitamin B12.
