This study investigated the effects of Mylife/Mylife100®, a Thai FDA-approved dietary supplement formulated from extracts of five plants, namely pennywort leaves, black sesame seeds, soybeans, guava fruit, and mangosteen aril, on telomere length and immune cell function, focusing on its potential anti-aging and health-promoting properties, having previously shown markedly improved quality of life in cancer patients through enhanced immunity. Ten healthy adults participated in an 8-week trial, consuming 4 capsules daily of Mylife/Mylife100® for weeks 1-4, followed by 6 capsules daily for weeks 5-8. Results showed significant increases in absolute telomere length from baseline to week 8 with 8 out of 10 subjects experiencing telomere elongation equivalent to 1.6 - 23.0 years of age reversal. Mean CD4 counts increased by 5.8% and mean CD8 counts by 8.2% (p < 0.05) by week 8. All safety parameters remained within normal ranges, and participants reported improvements in sleep, energy, and general well-being. The concurrent enhancement of telomere length and immune function indicates that Mylife/Mylife100® is a safe and effective dietary supplement for enhancing telomere health and immune function, contributing to improved quality of life and anti/reverse aging effects without the cancer risk associated with telomere elongation.
