TeloTest - Age Delay Formula
TeloTest™ provides the most appropriate formula recommendation to delay the effect of ageing.
What are telomeres and how are they related to aging?
Telomeres are repetitive DNA sequences at the end of our Chromosomes that protect them from damage. As cell ages, its telomeres become shorter and the speed of telomere shortening my indicate the pace of cellular aging.
Telomere length shorter than the average telomere length for a specific age group may be related to early onset of many age- associated health problems, including coronary heart disease, diabetes, increased cancer risk, and osteoporosis.
Telomeres length shortening may be slowed down when sustained changes are made through nutrition, exercise, stress management and improve sleep.
5 easy steps to know your biological age:
· The test is carried out by our Doctor in clinic.
· Our Doctor will take a swab from the inside of your mouth to obtain a sample of your DNA. You will also be asked to complete a simple questionnaire to determine a number of lifestyle factors including age, height, weight and any medical conditions you may have.
· This will be sent to Fagron laboratories where their specially trained technicians will analyse a total of 48 genetic variations from your DNA sample.
· Detecting the average length of your telomeres, according to the PCR results.
· Within 14 days our Doctor will receive a report containing the results of your test. This will calculate which is your estimates biological age, and compare it with your real age.
Telotest™ report provides a list of ingredients that support and improve body function: Supporting the reduction in telomeric shortening.
Antioxidants to remove potentially damaging oxidising properties within the body.
Provide recommendations of vitamin and minerals to reduce deficiencies.
-
After one year of lifestyle intervention, telomeres are protected from shortening.
Aging is caused by several molecular and cellular mechanisms or “hallmarks “ which can be experimentally measured and targeted for aging delay and reversal.
-
Reduce unnecessary consumption of vitamins and supplements that may provide no benefit.
Understand how your body ages over time.
Provides and insight into the individuals biological processes.
