Is your biological clock working correctly? Make sure the steps you are taking now are actually leading to a healthier, longer life – use the bioAge test to measure this.
What is biological age?
Biological age indicates how quickly the body ages at the cellular level. In contrast, chronological age refers only to the years that have passed since birth. Biological age can differ greatly from chronological age depending on lifestyle and environmental factors and provides more information about the body's state of health.
But how do we actually age?
One of the many reasons for aging is the change in DNA through so-called methylation. These methylation sites in the DNA can be measured with the bioAge test. Telomere length, special “protective caps” at the end of our chromosomes, is also a measure of aging, which the bioAge test makes use of.
Environmental influences and other epigenetic factors such as diet, exercise or stress also influence these DNA changes. The individual biological or epigenetic age can be measured based on the methylation profile, the length of the telomeres and epigenetics.
Why is it important to test my biological age?
Prevention is the key word here. With the epigenetic age test, you can take personal responsibility for your health and align your diet and lifestyle with longevity. The bioAge test also helps monitor the effectiveness of your behavioral changes and make your rejuvenation demonstrable. The test should therefore be carried out again after approximately 6 months.
What happens in the laboratory?
After sending in your sample, our partner laboratory uses a precise biochemical method to determine the methylation of your DNA and the length of your telomeres. Your DNA is then loaded onto a special chip and scanned to create a methylation profile. Your personal methylation profile is then compared with that of a cohort of the same age and gender. The result obtained can be used to draw conclusions about cell aging and thus your biological age.
After approximately 4 weeks, you will receive a protected report containing your biological age, selected measurement parameters and personal recommendations from our longevity experts based on your epigenetic profile to improve your biological age.
