LCR Health Telogenesis Reviews - Benefits, Effectiveness, Safety

By supporting your body’s natural production of telomerase, Telogenesis from LCR Health is a dietary supplement that allegedly increases strength and energy, provides a more youthful appearance, and reduces muscle and joint soreness.
Additionally, the promotional video indicates it could help support weight management, improve overall health, and potentially slow or reverse the physical and mental symptoms of aging.
Telomeres act like the plastic caps at the end of shoelaces to help protect the DNA contained inside a chromosome. They shorten with age as well as with modifiable factors like smoking or being overweight.
Therefore, the thought behind Telogenesis is that increasing telomerase levels in our body could positively affect aging.
This review examines and ingredients, safety, and whether the supplement is substantiated by research.
Ingredients: Is There Any Science Backing Them?
In this section, we'll take a closer look at the ingredients and highlight the support, if any, that we found in our literature review.
According to the supplement facts label listed on the LCR Health website, Telogenesis contains:
AC-11 extract 350 mg
Manufactured by Healthycell, AC-11 is a dietary supplement in its own right made from the Uncaria tomentosa (UT) plant (more commonly known as cat's claw).
Healthycell claims it is "proven to enhance cell health by supporting your body's natural ability to repair DNA, limit inflammation, clear out damaged cells, and enhance immune function."
UT is a vine from the Rubiaceae family, flowering plants found in the tropics. Used in natural medicine for centuries, UT may offer relief for arthritis and viral illnesses in addition to its proposed anti-aging benefits.
In 107 subjects with knee arthritis, the combination of a mineral supplement and 100mg of UT over 8-weeks improved joint function when compared to placebo; benefits were seen within 1-2 weeks, though they were not sustained for the entire study.
The anti-inflammatory effects of UT were also demonstrated in subjects with rheumatoid arthritis. The number of tender joints were reduced in those that were treated with 60mg of UT in addition to their regular drug regimen.
The anti-aging benefits are less clear. In a study examining the effects of UT on patients with solid tumors, 100mg 3x daily improved the patients' quality, though no tumor-specific responses were seen.
As these effects were unrelated to UT's anti-inflammatory capabilities, other actions this supplement may offer require further studies to clarify.
Astragalus membranaceus (AM) extract 150 mg
AB is an herb that is widely distributed in Asia and thought to offer antioxidants, anti-inflammation, and anti-cancer effects.
In mice, AM was used to reduce the metabolic stress of weight gain, insulin levels, and insulin resistance.
Its effects as a telomerase booster have not been extensively studied in humans.
A laboratory study examined the ability of 2 different AM extracts, TA-65 and HTA, to activate telomerase in white blood cells from 6 healthy donors.
They found that all extracts are not created equal as TA-65 increased telomerase activity in more samples when compared to HTA.
Specifically, with the TA-65 extract, similar effects were seen in another laboratory study, and also in a study using birds.
As support for these effects in human studies is lacking, much more work is needed to fully define the safety and effectiveness.
KSM-66 Ashwagandha extract 125 mg
Ashwagandha, or Withania somnifera, is an herb found mostly in India that allegedly helps improve memory, boost immunity, and protect free radicals.
In a laboratory model, its telomerase activating effects were demonstrated at 10 – 50mcg. Much more work is needed to demonstrate effectiveness in human subjects.
Are There Any Potential Side Effects?
The Telogenesis ingredient that seems to offer the most available human research is UT. At doses comparable to what is offered in this product, UT was well tolerated without any adverse effects attributed to its use.
Safety and efficacy, as demonstrated by human studies, is lacking for both AM and Ashwagandha. Thus, there is not a sufficient amount of research detailing dosing over long-term that allows us to draw conclusions for these ingredients.
Though dietary supplements typically have a favorable safety profile, an in-depth conversation with your doctor before use will help minimize potential side effects and interactions with any medications or other supplements.

The Bottom Line
Of the Telogenesis ingredients, UT has been the most studied in humans. Anti-inflammatory effects have been achieved at doses much lower than those offered in this supplement. Its anti-aging effects are less clear.
AM and ashwagandha lack sufficient evidence to characterize the safety and efficacy in humans.
While LCR Health seems to come with a mostly positive online customer reputation, taking this supplement may not be the best first-step given the lack of strong scientific support.

Not a "magic bullet," but it seems to work over time
After suffering from two major heart attacks and three minor ones plus a stroke - the last minor heart attack nearly three years ago, I began taking a vitamin and mineral supplement. After my stroke, my recovery was so quick and remarkable that the doctors and nurses couldn't believe it and said, "Whatever you're doing, keep doing it!" But my health still wasn't "up to scratch" as far as my heart was concerned (it had been damaged from the initial major attack).
Some three months ago I began taking TeloGenesis regularly and now after my first course, I am definitely feeling 100% better in myself, and even the medicos are remarking how well I am looking now.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Amazing
I'm 65 and read all the information about the ingredients in Telogenesis, I can hardly believe it, but I'm feeling a lot better in general. My energy level is much improved, and my blood sugar levels are much improved also. I usually have fibromyalgia in the cold damp winter here, but so far the pain has not come on this winter. This is big for me.
I'm so happy to be feeling a lot better, and I've stopped other supplements, just to see if this one was going to have any effect. I really think it's helping my health overall, and would highly recommend this product. It's a bit expensive, but I want to keep feeling this good, so I'll keep taking it.

Was skeptical but not anymore!
I'm really glad I tried this product. I have been using it for almost a month. I have fibromyalgia and have noticed a difference in my muscle and nerve pain. I am now sleeping better. I have lost inches in my stomach area. My appetite is more curbed. I still have issues but I do notice a change for the better, especially in my pain. I can walk better and do more Than I have in a long while. Nothing I have taken before has done anything to help my muscle pain.
Thank you for your product. I will be ordering it again and can't wait to see what else it can do for me. I can't believe this is actually helping me, but it sure is! NOTHING has ever helped me like this has. SO HAPPY!

Energy
I started taking the Telogenesis by LCR Health in February 2019. Within one week I realized I actually had more energy, and at my age, that was a much-needed asset. I didn't need a nap during the afternoons. I could keep on going. Sometimes I do need a little sitdown break, but no naps. Energy is the biggest thing I noticed. Brain function? Who knows...my brain just keeps on producing...I think. I have nothing to compare it to, because I have lived alone for more than 24 years. Now I have someone here so may have comparisons at a later date. I have a doctor's appointment very soon, so will be the first time he has seen this product on my list of medications. Will see what his reaction will be at that time.

Excellent
I was hoping the product would improve my back pain (recent spinal fusion surgery had left me with virtually no over-the-counter med to cope with PT recovery - my RA condition only complicates this, anti-inflammatories will wreak havoc on my already ravaged stomach).
I was pleasantly surprised to find a better sense of daily comfort once I started the supplements. Unfortunately, the cost has required I reduce my dose to an odd-day only regimen in order to more realistically afford the supplements.
I'm hoping cutting back to every other day will STILL give me the benefits, but also allow me to better afford the cost of the supplement on my budget. Here's hoping the positive influence continues on this abbreviated regimen...we all do what we have to!

Telogenesis
I have been taking Telogenesis for just under one month. I have noticed a difference in the texture of the skin, especially on my face. Certainly a more youthful look. Will continue to take the product on a daily basis. Highly recommended!

Feeling younger
I began using Telogenesis a little over a week ago. I noticed a difference a day later. I felt more mentally alert. Over the past couple of days, my body just feels more like I did in my twenties. I’m currently 47 years old, so I definitely notice a difference! I got foot tendinitis two years ago to the point that I couldn’t even walk for months. It took about seven months to recover. I began taking Telogenesis in hopes that I never get that again. I feel much better.

New found strength
I’ve been laid up with a leg injury for about a year. I was moving to a new office space and injured my leg. I was in so much pain. I started healing, but I couldn’t work out because my leg felt weak. After using Telogenesis by LCR, my overall muscle strength has returned and I’m able to start working out again without pain or muscle weakness.
Thanks.

Great product!
I truly believe in this product and that will help me live a longer, more vibrant life! This has only been a few weeks time and maybe it is a placebo effect right now. I have extensively researched the literature on telomeres the enzyme telomerase and find the studies quite interesting. Elizabeth Blackburn was one of the first to discover the importance of maintaining telomere length for a long and healthy life.

Slows the aging process
After taking Telogenesis for two weeks I've noticed an alertness in my eyes that wasn't there before. It was on that same morning that, I declare, I actually looked younger and felt a vitality to get up and go that I haven't felt in a long time. I take my daily dosage at night before I go to bed and consume my other LCR supplements first thing out of bed. I've found that while aging cannot be stopped it can be slowed down. I want to thank you all for the research that has brought about a change in the aging process. Keep up the good work!

I've been using Telogenesis for a month now and I can say that I'm feeling great. My knee pain has been reduced significantly, still there, but better. But I feel with energy all day long. I'm happy with the product. I would like to become an affiliate to sale Telogenesis.
