Overview
The fruit of Terminalia Chebula, commonly known as Black Myrobalan, is a popular plant that has been used in ayurvedic medicine to treat a number of ailments.
Terminalia Chebula Slowed Telomere Shortening by 45% In Vitro
Recently, its effect on telomere shortening was studied and Terminalia Chebula was found to slow it down by 45% in vitro1. In the study, human skin cells (epidermal keratinocytes)2 were cultured with and without continual administration of Terminalia Chebula. The telomeres of the treated cells were found to shorten at a rate of 192 base pairs per doubling (bp/PDL) while the control cells lost telomere length almost twice as fast - 342 bp/PDL3.
Shortening rate reduction
As a result, the treated cells were able to divide 40% more before reaching the Hayflick Limit and becoming senescent.4
Method of Action
It has recently been established that oxidative stress accelerates telomere loss5. The authors tested Terminalia Chebula's effect both on oxidative stress and telomere shortening and concluded that "T. chebula extract could slow down the telomere shortening rate by inhibition of oxidative stress."6
Warnings
