Too bad that I don´t have it. It you have a 23andme.com account, you can check it by browsing your genetic raw data and searching for SNP rs9536314. TT is the normal one. I got this one. GT is the one this article talks about.

Are there any pills that contain this factor ?

But there’s no reason to wait until you’re almost dying and need dialysis to start benefiting from this knowledge. Instead, this implies that taking something like 0.25 mcg/day of Calcitriol or 1 mcg/day of Paricalcitol right now for someone without the beneficial KL-VS variant of the KL gene might actually give a huge longevity and IQ boost.

    Great comment. You can never go wrong with exercise; that´s for sure. But I wanted to comment in the activated Vitamin D. People with CKD get this form of vitamin D because their kidneys cannot build it (the last hydroxylation step occurs in the kidney). So, in theory, supplementing with regular Vitamin D3 could boost IQ and longevity.

      Is this a proper excuse for me to enjoy the sun more every day?

        Sure it is. Not only for this IQ and longevity thing, but for a myriad of health benefits[1] The sun has made life possible in this planet and our body has evolved to use it for its own benefit. [1] http://www.vitamindcouncil.org/ http://www.vitamindcouncil.org/

    Wow that sounds really promising.

Are there any other interesting snp's to check for (not necessarily related to cognition)? I didn't realize that 23andme had this feature. I am also TT for the Klotho one.
