Telomerase ActivatorsThe first product available on this regard is called TA-65, from Telomerase Activation Sciences, Inc. TA-65 is a purified extract from a Astragalus plant, which has been used as traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years. According to the company, this ingredient is the only substance commercially available that activates (turns on) telomerase. TA-65 is the result of scientific research that began at Geron in 1992 and many are calling Telomerase activation a promising approach to reversing (not slowing down) the effects of aging. TASciences makes products under a licence from Geron. The compound is sold by TASciences from their TA Center in New York as a part of a 12 month anti aging program called the "PATTON PROTOCOL", which costs $22,570.00 (as of early 2007). The TA Sciences Center is located at 24 E. 64th Street in New York. Below is a description of the PATTON PROTOCOL, as it was described by Greta Blackburn, Marketing Director of TA Sciences Inc in early 2007: The PATTON PROTOCOL consists of: - A year's supply of Telomerase Activator TA-65 TM (Patents Pending).
