The Hayflick limit is generally refered to as cell death rather than telomere length.
Every time the cell splits the telomeres get shorter Reducing the amount they shorten increases the length of time the cell lives before dying.
When it reaches the Hayflick limit which is a certain number of divisions and the telomeres are gone the cell dies.
A new cell is made by the body to replace it with full telomares. Irrespective of your age. And that continues every time until that cell also reaches the Hayflick limit.
The problem is that each new cell uses the information in the cells DNA as a blueprint we age mainly as a result of damage to that DNA rather than telomere length. As each generation and Hayflick limit is reached the damage to the DNA is accumulating its only how long each cell lives rather than how long the telomeres are that determine how long we live. All lengthening telomeres do is increase the time until that cell reaches the Hayflick limit.
I stopped with the epitalon once I started with HGH as that causes the
liver to produce IGF-1 the IGF-1 cause the body to produce telomerase which increases telomere length. So my interest is in epitalon for the wrinkle reduction you and mikey mentioned.
I use throw away needles used once the antiseptic pads are for cleaning the skin as the needles are sterile as supplied. Most chemists here don't sell them even the nurse at the hospital admitted when I asked said that most people with diabetes who are injecting quite a few times a day don't use them because the needles are only used once. The problems with injecting arise when needles are shared by people who inject drugs.
I've yet to see a nurse or doctor wipe down a syringe these days everything is use once then throw away.
