Interesting. Could you possibly post that study?
I haven’t look much into them but I believe this is the in-vitro study on telomeres:
Slow-down of age-dependent telomere shortening is executed in human skin keratinocytes by hormesis-like-effects of trace hydrogen peroxide or by anti-oxidative effects of pro-vitamin C in common concurrently with reduction of intracellular oxidative stress.
Yokoo S, et al. J Cell Biochem. 2004.

An excerpt from the abstract:
“The cellular life-span of cultivated human skin epidermis keratinocytes NHEK-F was shown to be extended up to 150% of population doubling levels (PDLs) by repetitive addition with two autooxidation-resistant derivatives of ascorbic acid (Asc), Asc-2-O-phosphate (Asc2P), and Asc-2-O-alpha-glucoside (Asc2G), respectively, but to be not extended with Asc itself.”
There’s one more on cancer metastasis as well:
Tumor invasion is inhibited by phosphorylated ascorbate via enrichment of intracellular vitamin C and decreasing of oxidative stress.

I first came across this substance in an old Life Enhancement online magazine from 2001 (

Although all of them are in-vitro but I thought that since this is a relatively nontoxic Vitamin C, may as well add it or to replace my current “ordinary” ascorbate.
It’s quite unfortunate that this substance just died and no further studies were conducted.
