According to a landmark study in Israel, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) reduces two key biological signs of aging in humans. It is the first study ever to prove that it is possible to target and reverse the aging process at the basic cellular-biological level.

Because of this research, scientists now have a valid foundation to study how to slow the aging process. In this breakthrough study, patients aged 64 and older underwent a series of HBOT treatments. Multiple blood tests conducted during the study showed that HBOT reversed the shortening of telomeres and the accumulation of senescent cells.

Telomeres are the ends of our chromosome cells that protect the cells from deteriorating. As we age, the telomere naturally shorten. In the HBOT study, “some telomeres increased by more than 20% in length” ¹ which can be interpreted as reversing the aging process.

Senescent cells prevent cells from growing and their increase contributes to aging. Again, in the HBOT study, “senescent cells decreased in number by as much as 37 percent”² which also shows a slowing the aging process.

Scientists Call It the “Holy Grail” of the Biology of Aging

This innovative study is part of an ongoing comprehensive aging research program in Israel.
A different 2020 study also showed that HBOT also improves cognitive functions of memory and processing speed, among other areas.

These studies have been conducted for more than a decade of research by Dr. Shai Efrati, who is the director of the Sagol Center for Hyperbaric Medicine and Research at the Yitzhak Shamir Medical Center. Efrati called telomere shortening “the ‘Holy Grail’ of the biology of aging.” The unique hyperbaric oxygen protocol from this study is available in the United States only at Aviv Clinics at the Center for Advanced Healthcare at Brownwood in central Florida.
