Not sure about the actual telomerase promoting activity of the product, but if you look at TA Science's website all of the "efficacy" data they boast is self report data from patients. If you look at the graphs only two data points (out of 13) are statistically significant, and at least one can easily be explained by placebo effect. If this was actually useful as a therapeutic it would be in clinical trials. Instead it is being sold as a supplement after being on the market for 6 years. Not impressive.

I thought the paper in Rej Res was a little better than that, but I don't know what to make of this patent puffery. It's a PR Newswire piece citing a no-name Bay Area paper. That seems self-promotional. That doesn't mean TA65 is worthless, but it doesn't mean it works either. I'm at the level of "toying with the idea" of trying cycloastragenol. One of these days I'll get a CMV antibody titer; if it's positive (which is likely) that would be another item that would encourage me to give it a go.

As for it being sold as a supplement, it's a natural product that falls into the supplement classification, isn't it? I think at best they could patent a formulation. I'm not sure if the concept of a 'use patent' would apply here. They could modify the molecule and go for a New Chemical Entity, but that would only fly if it was significantly better than the original, would be very expensive, and would require FDA approval. I suspect they explored that route and weren't successful with it, though I don't know that for sure.
