A4M: Breakthroughs in Anti-Aging

Summary: As we age, fewer and fewer of the approximately 30,000 genes in the human body are active resulting in a slow down in bodily functions, weakened immunity, reduced metabolism, loss of energy, baldness, and other typical signs of aging. Aging is associated with silencing a substantial number of genes through the reaction of methylation of gene promoters. A complex master clock of life controls the rate at which genes are silences. A new generation of supplements and cosmetics attempt to restore the activity of the genes to the level of young adult age-and there have been many exciting breakthroughs in recent years.
