? about Telomerase
 

Have a good question. We all know that Telomeres are the cells that do the aging (specifically non-aging) thing. The longer the telomere, the longer you live. Babies have longer ones than older folks.

So I then heard about an enzyme known as Telomerase, which, when added to the body, seeks out the telomeres and makes them longer. So I said "wow, let me read up on Telomerase. The link I provided is a fascinating look into what research they are doing (they think it might fight cancer down the line) and they say that they will do the anti-aging clinical trials within the next ten years.

All that is fine, but my question is 'WHERE DO WE FIND TELOMERASE?" I mean, if it's an enzyme, is it found SOMEWHERE??

This is like reading about the Fountain of Youth existing, but we can't get our hands on it YET!!!!

Anybody ever hear of this?

Thanks,
