The enzyme that prolongs life is called telomerase. It protects the telomeres, the protective caps on your chromosomes, from degradation. These protective caps, the telomeres, dissolve over the course of your life, and... your body dies. With more of the protective enzyme telomerase, your body lives longer.

There's only one question left: Where do you get the enzyme? The answer: You already have it. In your body. More precisely, your body produces it itself. You just have to help it do so. For example, with omega 3. The more you supplement, the better. Omega 3 is an important building block for the enzyme telomerase and thus protects the telomeres, which in turn leads to an extension of your lifespan.

Certain vitamins also prolong your telomeres and thus your lifespan because they are essential for the body's synthesis of the super enzyme. Here are the complete blueprints for a long and healthy life:

- Vitamin D lengthens telomeres (Am J Clin Nutr 2007; 86).

- Vitamin C lengthens telomeres (Lif Sci 1998; 63).

- Vitamin E lengthens telomeres (J Cell Biochem 2007; 102).

- Folic acid lengthens telomeres (J Nutr 2009; 139).

- Multivitamins lengthen telomeres (Am J Clin Nutr 2009; 89).

In Germany, these facts have not yet fully sunk in. Here, against our better judgment, we rely on a "diversified diet," which has been proven and repeatedly measured to contain far too few of these vitamins. Therefore, not taking supplemental vitamins means shortening your life!
