Tag: Telomerase

A 2025 study from the VITAL trial found that participants taking daily vitamin D3 supplements experienced significantly reduced telomere shortening over four years compared to a placebo group. This demonstrates the potent connection between dietary intake and the body's mechanisms for cellular longevity.

According to a systematic review published in *Nutrients*, dietary patterns rich in plant-based, minimally processed foods, such as the Mediterranean diet, are associated with longer telomere lengths, which are protected by the telomerase enzyme. A balanced diet plays a crucial role in maintaining telomerase activity and supporting overall cellular health.
