Got to love it:Using today's most current technology including a 2-stage process to extract critical anti-aging telomerase enzymes and peptides from the cellular infrastructure of select glandular tissue.
I hope it is free of prions. Glandulars have been a staple of would-be nostrums for over 80 years. I guess it stands the test of time.
Reneuve Phase-5 formula. (Contains: N-Acetylcysteine, Astragalus, Vitamin D3, Telomerase Enzyme, Grenadine). This formula is to be used on a daily basis.
There is also a one-shot reset treatment, ingredients unstated. See preceeding post for a professional opinion.

Niner, you beat me to it.

I have seen it before and the description alone is full of red flags.
Niner is completely right about it of course.

I'm not Anthony, but this is a fraud. They are claiming that it contains telomerase itself, and that it's orally active. That's ridiculous. If it actually contained telomerase, your body would digest it as food.
Actually, it's not that bad. I've noticed that just an enteric coating can sneak SOD/Catalase/GPx in.
Maybe it's not quite as tight as we think, or maybe I just have a leaky gut.
...Saying nothing about this particular product, it is a scam.

Some proteins can get in. I suspect being (by protein standards) small-ish, highly stable, and resistant to proteases, denaturation, and acid hydrolysis would be helpful. Telomerase, on the other hand, is a handful:Actually, it's not that bad. I've noticed that just an enteric coating can sneak SOD/Catalase/GPx in.I'm not Anthony, but this is a fraud.

This makes me think it's going to have a tough time. This product has shown up here in the past; I think we were all in agreement the last time, too.It consists of two molecules each of human telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT), telomerase RNA (TR or TERC), and dyskerin (DKC1).[4] The genes of telomerase subunits, which are TERT,[5] TERC,[6] DKC1,[7] and TEP1[8] etc, are located on the different chromosomes in human genome. Human TERT gene (hTERT) is translated into a protein of 1132 amino acids.[9] TERT proteins from many eukaryotes have been sequenced.[10] TERT polypeptide folds with TERC, a non-coding RNA (451 nucleotides long in human). TERT has a 'mitten' structure that allows it to wrap around the chromosome to add single-stranded telomere repeats.
