Epigenetic Biological Age

Please notify your patient that they need to follow the kit registration instructions when doing the sample, this will entail scanning a QR code and adding the required details for the lab.

This test looks at thousands of epigenetic markers along your DNA to measure your Biological Age.

WHAT IS AN EPIGENETIC TEST?

Your Biological Age is the age your body looks from the inside, as opposed to your chronological age - the number of times you have travelled around the Sun. The difference between your Biological Age and your chronological age is known as age-acceleration.

The science of epigenetics reveals how lifestyle changes and environmental factors impact our health at the molecular level. Our epigenetic technology (which uses DNA methylation data) is the gold standard and most accurate method to measure your Biological Age (better than telomere length!).

Some of us really do look older on the inside - increased Biological Age is associated with the risk of chronic diseases and overall health and mortality. The good news is that positive lifestyle changes can reduce your Biological Age.

Epigenetic Biological Age changes the way we think about our DNA and gives us a holistic window into our long term health. By testing over time we can track how our life choices are impacting our ageing rate, and determine whether these choices (lifestyle interventions, supplements, ...) are increasing our chances of a healthier and happier life.
