Complete Essentials™ Daily Pack With IsaGenesis® – What is a telomere?

At both ends of every DNA strand in a human cell is a telomere. Telomeres prevent chromosomes from becoming frayed, fusing into rings, or binding with other DNA. (Think: the protective cap that keeps your shoelaces from unraveling.) When telomeres get short, your body’s cells are unable to divide (or reproduce). Eventually, this causes instability in the cells.
