Yes, I believe you can.
Telomeres are the protective caps, located at the ends of chromosomes and they play a critical role when it comes to healthy aging.
What can we do to extend those telomeres?
- One study found that daily vitamin D supplementation helps to minimize the shortening of telomeres, which happens as people get older, and thus may protect against diseases tied to age and biological aging.
- The data suggested that vitamin D’s effects on a cellular level would be equal to a three-year decrease in aging.
Always request your Vitamin D labs so you can keep an eye on this important marker. Your goal? Always over 50 and ideally over 60 and beyond!
