Telomere Lengthening
>20%
Increase in telomere length
Landmark 2020 study demonstrated >20% increase in PBMC telomere length after 60 HBOT sessions in healthy older adults — the first human evidence of therapeutic telomere lengthening.
Mechanism
HBOT activates telomerase, the enzyme responsible for telomere maintenance and extension. Repeated daily sessions create a hormetic stimulus that upregulates telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) expression.
