UST A NUMBER Several companies offer at-home test kits for telomere length. Send in a blood sample and, these companies claim, theyll tell you if you are older or younger than you think. Test kits also come with advice for maintaining the ends of your chromosomes.

Telomeres are the ‘end caps’ of your DNA. The longer they are, supposedly the longer you would live, barring other factors like disease and accidents, war and murder...........

Some of the other DNA tests can be quite useful in elucidating metabolism, guiding selection of prescription drugs to match what will work for you, for example.

I believe it is the supplement Ashwagandah that is reported to lengthen telomeres.
