Telomere Length Testing
Are you aging faster than you would like due to telomere shortening? Current research shows that telomere shortening contributes to cellular aging and susceptibility to metabolic disorders and chronic disease.1-6 According to scientific research, telomere shortening may contribute to aging and age-related conditions. Telomeres are segments of DNA found at the ends of chromosomes. They can be prematurely shortened when exposed to environmental chemicals, oxidation, inflammation, and stress. This leads to DNA damage and contributes to early cell death.7-9 Associated conditions Shorter telomeres have been associated with cardiovascular disease, inflammatory disorders, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, cognitive decline, and other chronic degenerative conditions associated with aging.
