Introducing a state-of-the-art supplement based on the latest in longevity research! Swanson Telomere Formula with Cycloastragenol and Astragaloside IV addresses what may be the root cause of aging at the cellular level.
Telomeres are short strands of DNA that cap the end of chromosomes within every cell. They protect the structure of the chromosome and serve as signaling agents for cellular activity. Each time a cell divides the telomere caps get shorter—a process known as telomere shortening. When the telomere caps become too short and cells continue to divide, the original cells die off in a process called cellular senescence. For decades, this process was thought to be inevitable and irreversible, until Nobel Prize-winning research uncovered "how chromosomes are protected by telomeres and the enzyme telomerase.”
Scientists have been looking for ways to support healthy telomeres in an effort to protect cellular health and thus, promote longevity. The traditional Chinese herb astragalus is one of the few agents with demonstrated ability to support telomere structure and function. Swanson Telomere Formula features two powerful astragalus extracts in one affordable telomere support formula.
You’ll find other astragalus-based supplements on the market at prices up to $600 for a one-month supply, but none with this precise combination of both bioactive constituents at effective dosages for daily supplementation.

FAQ
- What Are Telomeres and Why Are They Important?
Telomeres are protective structures located at the ends of chromosomes that help maintain the stability and integrity of genetic material during cell division. Often compared to the plastic tips on shoelaces, telomeres help protect chromosomes from damage. Because telomeres naturally shorten over time, they are widely studied for their role in cellular health and healthy aging. - How Do Telomere Support Supplements Work?
Telomere support supplements typically provide ingredients that help support cellular health and protect against oxidative stress, one of the factors associated with normal telomere shortening. Depending on the formula, these supplements may contain antioxidants, polyphenols, or specialized botanical compounds that support healthy aging and overall cellular wellness. - Can Supplements Help Support Healthy Telomeres?
Research suggests certain nutrients and botanical compounds may help support healthy telomere function by promoting cellular health and helping protect cells from oxidative stress. While supplements cannot stop the natural aging process, they may help support the body's normal mechanisms involved in maintaining healthy cells and healthy aging. - What Makes Swanson Telomere Formula Unique?
Swanson Telomere Formula features two specialized compounds derived from astragalus root—cycloastragenol and astragaloside IV—each provided at 5 mg per serving. These compounds have been studied for their role in cellular health and healthy aging, making this formula a targeted approach to telomere support. - Is Swanson Telomere Formula Suitable for Special Diets?
Swanson Telomere Formula is made with non-GMO ingredients and is suitable for vegetarian lifestyles. However, it is not vegan and is not certified dairy free or gluten free.
