Telomeres are sections of genetic material at the end of each chromosome whose primary function is to prevent chromosomal “fraying” when a cell replicates. As a cell ages, its telomeres become shorter. Eventually, the telomeres become too short to allow cell replication, the cell stops dividing and will ultimately die – a normal biological process. SpectraCell’s Telomere Test can determine the length of a patient’s telomeres in relation to the patient’s age.

HOW FAST ARE YOU AGING?

Telomere testing reveals a window to your cellular age.

What are telomeres?

Telomeres are sections of DNA at the end of each chromosome that serve as a cap to your genetic material.  Every time a cell replicates, its telomere will become shorter.  Shorter telomeres imply a shorter life span for a cell.

What effect does telomere length have on my health and wellness?

Age adjusted telomere length is the best method to date to assess biological age using structural analysis of chromosomal change in the telomere.  Serial evaluation of telomere length is an indicator of how rapidly one ages relative to a normal population.  Therapies directed at slowing the loss of telomere length may slow aging and age-related diseases.

Does diet have any effect on telomere length and repair?

An inflammatory diet, or one that increases oxidative stress, will shorten telomeres faster.  This would include refined carbohydrates, fast foods, processed foods, sodas, artificial sweeteners, trans fats and saturated fats.  A diet with a large amount and variety of antioxidants that improves oxidative defense and reduces oxidative stress will slow telomere shortening.  Consumption of 10 servings of fresh and relatively uncooked fruits and vegetables, mixed fiber; monounsaturated fats, omega-3 fatty acids, cold water fish and high quality vegetable proteins can prevent premature shortening.  In addition, caloric restriction is advised combined with an exercise program.  Fasting for 12 hours each night at least 4 days per week may also be protective.

What lifestyle modifications are likely to be helpful?

One should achieve ideal body weight and body composition with low body fat (less than 22% for women and less than 16% for men).  Decreasing visceral fat is very important.  Regular aerobic and resistance exercise for at least one hour per day, sleeping for at least 8 hours per night, stress reduction, discontinuation of all tobacco products and bioidentical hormone replacement therapy may decrease the rate of telomere loss.

How do you measure telomere length?

The Patient Telomere Score is calculated based on the patient's telomere length on white blood cells (T-lymphocytes).  This is the average compared to telomere length on lymphocytes from a sample of the American population in the same age range.  The higher the telomere score, the "younger" the cells.  A Telomere Score that is above the average line is desirable.

What can I do to reduce my rate of telomere loss?

Shorter telomeres have been associated with metabolic abnormalities, obesity and several degenerative diseases including cancer, dementia and cardiovascular disease.  In vitro studies have shown that telomeres are highly susceptible to oxidative stress, which will shorten telomere length and enhance cellular aging.  Minimizing associated risk factors that are linked to shortened telomere activity is recommended and include:

  • Reduce oxidative stress
  • Correct micronutrient deficiencies, especially vitamin D
  • Change sedentary lifestyle/increase physical activity
  • Avoid weight gain or obesity
  • Correct insulin resistance

Studies have shown that telomere length is strongly associated with CVD risk, nutritional deficiencies (particularly antioxidants) and cancer and testing may be a useful biomarker for risk assessment.

You save a better amount when you buy 3-5 of the same product, and you get your best savings when you purchase 6 or more of any item. It can save you as much as $5 a box/bag on products like nutreince, IN.POWER and Origin Omega… and that savings adds up fast!

FREE SHIPPING

We heard you loud and clear! You love FREE SHIPPING and we love to make you happy. You get free shipping on orders over $299* in the US. That can save you over $50 on a single order. That’s 50 great reasons for you to smile. And for our international friends, we didn’t forget about you either.  To keep your grins on, we are subsidizing your international shipping rates supplying you with cheaper rates for each order over $299 as well.*

SAVE EVEN BIGGER BY COMBINING ALL 3

When you combine the 3 ways to save your savings really add up. Check this out…

Currently, if you and one other person in your house were to purchase two boxes of nutreince per month you would pay $49.95/per box plus $11.75 shipping. After 1 year that will end up costing you $1339.80

Now, lets take a look at how much you would save by using our three ways to save. First, when you buy in bulk and use Step Down Pricing to purchase four months of nutreince at once (8 boxes of nutreince for the two of you) you not only save $40 on your products, but you also save $47.00 on shipping! This brings you an annual total savings of $261.00

But, that’s not all because if you make this same order using our easy and convenient subscription program, you still get your step down pricing savings, and your free shipping, but you’ll also save an additional 5% on each order. This brings you an annual total savings of over $300! 

Pretty incredible, right? So stock up, save shipping and set up your subscriptions today!

HOW DO SUBSCRIPTIONS WORK?

Head on over to any product page, and click subscribe on the item you'd like to receive. Then, choose a quantity, and how often you'd like to receive it. You will be billed once during each delivery cycle. For example, if your subscription frequency is set to once every three months, you will be automatically charged every three months.

After you purchase, you'll receive an e-mail with a link to change your subscription frequency, change the products you receive, and cancel anytime. Alternately, you can just contact us at TheCaltons@CaltonNutrition.com and we'll set you up.

AS A SUBSCRIBER CAN I USE COUPONS?

Coupons cannot be applied to recurring orders, however as a subscriber, you will automatically receive 5% off each and every order, and you still get to save big with our step-down-pricing discounts if they apply. You'll also get early access to new products, flash sales and exclusive promos.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I SET MY DELIVERY FREQUENCY FOR?

Good question! It depends on the product and how many people you're buying for. Each nutreince and Origin Omega will last a single individual 28 days. IN.POWER and SKINNYFat will very much depend on how much you use in different recipes and in the Triple Threat Shakes. If you want some help to figure out what you might need, and how often you will want it delivered don’t hesitate to contact customer service at TheCaltons@CaltonNutrition.com and we'll set you up. And remember, it is very easy to change your subscription at any time.
