The SCIENCE


Order OnlineCELLMetrix supplies the nutrients necessary for a healthy cell microenvironment, which includes telomerase. This can effectively protect the telomeres that are the tips of the chromosomes. Healthy telomeres assist the DNA within the cell to replicate more effectively thus resulting in more vibrant healthy new cells.

CELLMetrix is based on the findings of a 2009 Nobel Prize for Physiology/Medicine as well as information from leading anti-aging scientists. It was designed to create cellular health for a more vibrant and healthy aging process.

CELLMetrix beneficial effects based on the clinical studies of its components:
