>> Recently we have discovered that the science of human aging is really pretty simple.
We age because our cells divide and our telomeres get shorter.
What's a telomere?
Well, to answer that, let's zoom into a human's 100 trillion cells.
Every cell contains a nucleus with genes and chromosomes.
If you zoom in further, you see that the chromosomes are made up of DNA molecules
that are 100 million bases long, coiled up like a slinky.
There are long, repetitive sequences of DNA at the end of each of our chromosomes.
These sequences are called telomeres.
When a cell divides, the genetic material inside that cell needs to be copied.
This is called DNA replication.
During this process, enzymes that replicate a strand of DNA
are unable to continue replicating all the way to the end, which causes the loss of some DNA.
In the ends, if you remember, are where the telomeres are.
At birth we have about 10,000 bases, but as we age
and our cells divide again and again, we lose those bases.
And at 5,000 bases we begin to die of old age.
As telomeres get shorter, humans begin to experience the general effects of aging,
loss of muscle, failing memory, poor eyesight, lack of energy, and slower recovery after exercise.
The bottom line is this, when cells divide, telomeres shorten
and bad things happen when telomeres get short.
Research we completed in 1997 established that humans also have an enzyme, called telomerase.
They can lengthen telomeres.
This research was so significant that in 2009 it was awarded the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine.
I lead a team of scientists pursuing this line of research
and we are virtually the only scientists pursuing it.
Our recent collaboration with John Anderson's 30 years of formulating experience
is yielding results beyond anything we have ever experienced.
It won't be surprising to see many companies trying to enter this phase
and begin marketing products how to support telomeres.
But I know from my research, not all telomere products are the same.
One company is leading the way with a complete system
that not only addresses the causes of aging,
but also provides a credible product system to effectively support healthy telomeres.
This remarkable research may one day reveal the secret of living a longer, healthier life.
I am grateful for the opportunity I've had to share it with you.
