New Product Scientifically Battles Aging at the Cellular Level
Exclusively licensed from the Geron Corporation, TA-65 is the world's first
Telomerase Activator
NEW YORK, April 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Telomerase Activation Sciences, Inc.
(TA Sciences) announced on March 12 its license with Geron to develop and
market non-therapeutic products using Geron's small molecule telomerase
activators. Now TA Sciences announces the opening of the TA Sciences Center
in Manhattan where customers can purchase TA Sciences' first product, a
nutraceutical containing the telomerase activating agent "TA-65."
"TA Sciences welcomes our first customers and the launch of the world's
first telomerase activator product," said Noel Thomas Patton, founder of TA
Sciences. "A natural consequence of aging is the shortening of telomeres
(caps of DNA located at the ends of all chromosomes), which ultimately
results in loss of cell function. TA-65 offers the potential of reducing or
reversing telomere shortening and battles tissue and organ degeneration by
rejuvenating aging cells."
TA-65 is the result of vigorous scientific research that began at Geron
in 1992. Already the response from the scientific community to the news of
TA Sciences' ground-breaking launch has been very enthusiastic: "Telomerase
Activation is the single most promising approach to reversing the effects
of aging," said Michael Fossel, MD, PhD., Clinical Professor of Medicine at
Michigan State University, author, and recognized authority on aging and
age- related clinical disease.
And Dr. William H. Andrews, founder of Sierra Sciences, LLC and one of
the principal discoverers of the telomerase genes, said: "Cleopatra, Ponce
de Leon, and untold others throughout the ages have searched for the
secrets of youth. That search has been futile, until now: Telomerase
Activation is the first and only scientifically sound way to approach anti-
aging. TA-65 is the first product in history that has been proven to slow
or reverse cellular aging. Congratulations to TA Sciences and Geron!"
On April 30, 2007 TA Sciences plans to publish the results of the
Pivotal 2005 Anti-Aging Trial, which is the first ever human clinical trial
of a telomerase activator. This trial shows statistical verification of the
anti- aging benefits of telomerase activation.
