Genetic Testing – Telomere
Telomeres (teh·luh·meer) are protective structures (sometimes referred to as ‘end caps’) locatedin the nucleus, at the ends of chromosomes, and composed of DNA and proteins. They play a crucial role in maintaining the genome’s integrity and regulating the cells’ lifespan. Telomeres consist of repetitive DNA sequences that shorten with each cell division, eventually leading to cellular senescence (suh·neh·sns), or the inability to divide further.
The exclusive nbx wellness Telomere Genetic Test assesses biological (cellular) age, an estimate of cellular longevity. While getting older is inevitable, we can slow the progression of our genetic age. The first step to maintaining cell vitality is knowing our genetic age or health at the cellular level.
Telomeres protect DNA as chromosomes divide and replicate but become less effective as we age. Extending the ability of cells to engage in healthy cellular division helps prolong a youthful appearance and optimal body function. Longer telomeres are associated with slowing the natural aging process.
With a simple cheek swab, the NBX Telomere Genetic Test estimates your biological (cellular) age based on telomere length. The Telomere Genetic Test is a companion product to our exclusive DNA Sustain, which aids in maintaining telomere length to maximize anti-aging benefits.
