LR3 enables a more reproducible protocol with fewer interventions

Studies have demonstrated the importance of telomerase and telomeres in slowing down the aging process, and Epitalon has been shown to increase telomerase production, resulting in stronger and longer telomeres

This "substituent effect" is general for dienes and trienes, and is even more pronounced for enone chromophores
