It was prooven that astragalus membraneceous active compounds cycloastragenol and astragaloside do contribute to telomerase activation in humans. These compounds are as well used in antiaging drug TA-65 but I read abecdotal report that astragalus root works even better I think maybe due to additional nutrients such hyaluronic acid which is rich in root vegetables. TA65 or pure cycloastragenol very expensive so I can afford only root, although one seller told that astragalus root does not have enought active compounds for telomerase activation.
How much average adult male would need to consume root and how to increase bioavailability to slow down aging significantly or even stop it? And how to tell without expensive tests that astragalus does work?
It‘s also imperative for long life span to have general healthy way of living (don‘t care if there are centenarians claiming to smoke or eating junk food). So I did long time ago adopt healthy lifestyle throught I had lots of stress, PTSD and depression induced insomnia from abusive family what might have contributed to forehead wrinkles but I fixed that now. I have nearly vegetarian diet with lots of different vegetables and fruits, supplenting different vitamins and nutrients (just in case), I plan to move in future to live in warmer country where vegan diet could be more affordable or grow even own organic food. As well I go everyday to job using bicycle and do running/sprinting in spare time, more rarely heavy lifting. Any other advices from experienced people seeking long life?
