Asc2P Slowed Telomere Shortening by Over 50%
Ascorbic Acid 2-Phosphate (Asc2P) is a rare form of Vitamin C that is very effective in slowing telomere shortening in vitro. In this study1, it was shown that repetitive addition of Asc2P to human endothelial cells in vitro slowed telomere shortening by a dramatic 52-62%2
Shortening rate reduction
Vitamin C vs Asc2P
The authors found in two back to back studies that standard Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) had no effect on telomere length.3. They found that Asc2P results in 3.9 times higher intracellular levels of Vitamin C4 than exposure to standard Vitamin C and described it as acting as a sort of intracellular time-release capsule of Vitamin C5. Asc2P was able to reduce the level of a key type of free radical ('reactive oxygen intermediate') within the cell to 53% of control level6.
Method of Action
Because no telomerase upregulation was detected after the addition of Asc2P, the authors speculated that the slowdown in shortening came from Asc2P's ability to combat free radicals and prevent telomere shortening that is the result of free radical damage and not associated with cell division.7
