Telomere study

Telomere study

Posted by Dr. Jamie McManus on Mar 5, 2015 in Science

I am proud to be part of a company with a strong focus on the relationship between optimal nutrition and our well-being. An awareness of emerging scientific discoveries guides the creation of the products we offer, and I would like to share one of those studies with you.

What is a telomere?

Our chromosomes contain genetic material in the form of strands of DNA. Telomeres are extensions of these DNA strands that protect the integrity of the DNA.

Telomeres are sort of like those plastic tips that cover and protect the end of shoelaces from fraying. Telomeres tend to get shorter as we age.

Evidence suggests telomere length is a reliable indicator of overall health. Short telomeres are associated with increased health risk factors.

Telomere study

In collaboration with a company called Telomere Diagnostics, we decided to investigate telomere length (a marker of overall health–see the sidebar) in two groups of people. The control group consisted of very healthy adults (age range about 30-80) who were nonsmokers with no known chronic diseases.

We compared those healthy people with “heavy supplement users.” This was a group of people (in the same age range) who reported that they had taken five or more Shaklee supplements daily for at least five years. The averages for this group were more than 12 supplements taken at least 4-6 days per week for 10 or more years.

Saliva samples were collected from both groups for Telomere Diagnostics to measure their telomere length.

---

The results

The results of this cross-sectional study showed that telomere length was 11.2 percent greater in the supplement group than the control group, a statistically significant finding.

What is interesting about this study (and other similar studies) is that telomere length may give us a reliable measure of our long-term overall well-being. It also appears that we can protect our telomeres (slow the rate at which they shorten,) by the choices we make.

Other recent studies have shown that telomere length can be protected by what we eat (for example, by a Mediterranean diet)[1] and by how active we are.[2] And now, our study suggests that our telomeres may be protected by which supplements we take.

These findings reinforce the idea that our genes do not control all of our health outcomes; diet, lifestyle, and environment also play significant roles. I believe it is possible through the choices we make to greatly improve our chances for a long and healthy life.

Here's a little more history about the study. I take the RX for a Healthier Life, plus more, every single day, to protect my telomeres!

Have you seen the BIG Herbal Supplement News?

It was all over the news last week!! What does it all mean? Maybe not what we all thought.

ABC News - Herbal Supplement Crackdown

CBS Health - Herbal Supplements filled with Fake Ingredients

NPR News - NY State Clamps Down on Herbal Supplements

Forbes - Cease-and-Desist

Alternative Medicine - NY AG Targets Supplements at Major Retailers

The Atlantic - Neither Herbal, nor Supplements

The Washington Post - GNC, Target, Wal-Mart, Walgreens accused of selling adulterated 'herbals'

Here is another take on it from Prevention Magazine, which reflects Shaklee's position about the testing as well. My thinking is, what about the SAND and HOUSEPLANTS found in the supplements - what do we need those for?! Nothing, I am sure. These are just some of the reasons why I trust and use ONLY Shaklee products, for 35 years now! Because they are ALWAYS SAFE, ALWAYS GREEN AND ALWAYS WORK!

From our Home Office: SHAKLEE QUALITY - WHAT'S ON THE LABEL IS IN THE PRODUCT. For nearly 60 years the Shaklee name has been synonymous with products of the utmost quality and integrity. Shaklee consumers know they can trust that what is on the label is in the product; that is the 100% Shaklee Guarantee. We promise purity and performance in each and every bottle, and it's the Shaklee quality control protocols that delivers on that promise. For a review of the quality protocols that help create the Shaklee Difference, please visit this article.

For those that question our own testing, here's what Shaklee's Dr. Daggy says about our testing:

"Shaklee products have been tested periodically by independent organizations like consumerlabs. We also use qualified third party labs for some of our testing -- including labs that do genetic testing. And our products/lifestyle has also been tested by academic research groups. By genetic testing, I mean the DNA testing that was central to the NY Atty General's actions. We also use outside labs when testing for GMOs."

If you are not currently purchasing your health products from a company that really cares about your health (and their quality!), I recommend that you think about that, and consider switching brands today. My health products come from a company that I trust, a company that really cares about my health - Shaklee.

Please share this post with your friends and family - it is important to their health.

<<‘Tis the season to be shopping online…

It’s been brought to our attention that an adware virus downloaded to some computers is affecting the shopping experience of Shaklee Family Members on MyShaklee.com, Shaklee.com, and the PWS shopping environments.

Our first and most important advice is to purchase, install and keep your anti-virus software up-to-date.

What has been reported by individuals whose computers are infected with this adware is that when a visitor to any of the Shaklee shopping platforms clicks a link, types into a form, or simply clicks on the page, a series of windows open containing buying options for companies that are not affiliated with Shaklee Corporation. The adware is sophisticated enough to mimic some or all of the Shaklee branding, including logos.  The window may pop up and offer you a survey to complete, after which you’ll be redirected to another non-Shaklee web site. 

If you experience a series of pop-up windows during your shopping experience, please be aware that none of our shopping areas produce browser pop-ups like the ones shown in this screen shot:  http://images.shaklee.com/shaklee/images/popup.png. 

Also, in order to confirm you are purchasing from an authorized Shaklee site, please check the URL in your browser window to make sure it reads http://www.shaklee.com/[web page name]; http://www.myshaklee.com/[web page name]; or http://yourPWSname.myshaklee.com/[web page name]. 

If you see any other name or branding before the .com please immediately cease your web browsing and run an anti-virus scan and clean. Be sure to use anti-virus software that includes removal of malware and adware. 

We want you to have a safe and happy shopping experience on every Shaklee shopping area.  Shopping online is convenient and secure as long as you keep your anti-virus software running and are cautious when downloading applications from unknown web sites.
