Age is just a number
Nature meets Nobel Prize evidence: the science behind aghne
It was in 2009 when three molecular biology researchers - Elizabeth Blackburn, Carol Greider, and Jack Szostak - were awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine for their discovery of the mechanism of aging in the human body through the study of telomeres and their groundbreaking identification of telomerase, an enzyme that can slow down or even reverse telomere shortening.
Discovery of aging mechanisms
BEFORE TELOMERES
Let’s Start from the Beginning…
What exactly are telomeres, and how are they linked to aging?
ENZYME OF IMMORTALITY
We don’t age primarily due to accumulated damage, but rather through the mechanism of telomere shortening.
CELLS NEED TO DIVIDE?
Under normal conditions - such as during metabolism throughout our lives - cells accumulate damage and biological waste.
We actually have two ages?
CHRONOLOGICAL VS BIOLOGICAL AGE
Age is just a number. Your chronological age counts the number of years you’ve lived, but your biological age reflects how your body is truly aging.
HOW TO LOWER YOUR BIOLOGICAL AGE
1. Consuming a nutrient-rich diet and supplementing with vitamins and essential minerals...
Certified by NHRF
Why National Hellenic Research Foundation?
From the very beginning aghne was designed to deliver visible results grounded in scientific proof.
We combine cutting-edge scientific research with the purity of naturally sourced ingredients, ensuring that every formulation supports your body's natural processes for renewal and vitality.
In vitro results
Our collaboration didn’t stop at ingredient selection. To ensure that Aghne’s formulations deliver on their promises, we conducted rigorous in vitro tests in partnership with the NHRF. These tests allowed us to validate the cellular impact of our products under controlled scientific conditions.
Key goals of the research
1. PREVENTING TELOMERE ATTRITION
Telomeres, the protective caps at the ends of chromosomes, are crucial for cellular longevity. By incorporating powerful antioxidants like astaxanthin and Mediterranean polyphenols, we demonstrated the potential to slow telomere shortening, supporting youthful, radiant skin overall longevity.

2. REDUCING THE LOAD OF OXIDIZED PROTEIN
Oxidized proteins are a hallmark of cellular aging, contributing to skin dullness, wrinkles, and loss of elasticity. Our tests confirmed the ability of Aghne’s formulations to significantly reduce protein oxidation, promoting healthier, more resilient cells.
