Telomeres, commonly likened to the plastic tips on shoelaces, protect chromosomes from damage and decrease each time a cell divides and replicates.
The length of telomeres is directly linked to age. When we are born our telomeres are long, but they shorten with each cell cycle as cells continually divide.
Telomere length is the nearest measure that science has ever found to determine lifespan in humans, horses, dogs and cats. It acts as the internal “hourglass” or “biological clock” for aging.
It is postulated that JDI™ MultVitamin-MultiMinerals could possibly help maintain existing telomere length by up to 5% according to one recent study of multi vitamins and telomere length in women.
Of course, further studies are necessary, and there is that evidence as reported in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition in 2009.
Any exact estimated per cent for everyone is not appropriate, yet some evidence does exist.
