text: The telomerase enzyme lengthens the telomere and science is now showing us that there are specific nutrients, phytonutrients and antioxidants that increase your body's expression of telomerase.
text: When active in cells, telomerase can lengthen telomeres and prevent chromosomes from being whittled down as cells repeatedly divide to replenish their numbers.
text: Telomerase lengthens telomeres by repeatedly synthesizing very short DNA repeats of six nucleotides—the building blocks of DNA—with the sequence "GGTTAG" onto the chromosome ends from a template located within the RNA component of the enzyme itself.
text: Researchers who discovered telomeres also discovered telomerase, an enzyme that helps lengthen telomeres.
