Abstract

Aging is a process of physiological deterioration experienced by living organisms with time. The
science aspect and discourse are expertly applied for product improvement in response to a rapidly
growing demand from the elderly population. The study evaluated some natural medicinal
products such as Curcumin, Aleo-vera, Coconut oil, Lavender oil, Royal jelly, and Apis mellifica
honey to detect their efficacy against aging confirmed by targeting enzyme as telomerase using
tissue culture cells (BJ). The results showed that these products caused maintenance of the telomere
through low activation of telomerase enzyme within the normal range compared with control.
