An enzyme that protects, repairs and lengthens short telomeres, but also prevents the lengths are not shortened, delaying cell aging.

- Protective properties of the liver. Astragalus root extract protects the liver from damage caused by toxic substances and prevents the decrease in liver glycogen.
