Biological Age (Telomere) Test
£189
Our Telomere & Biological Age Test measures the length of your telomeres which are key indicators of cellular ageing. By analysing these markers, the test provides insight into how your body is ageing compared to your chronological age. Understanding your biological age can help guide lifestyle and health decisions to support longevity and well-being.
Telomeres are protective caps at the ends of chromosomes that prevent DNA damage. They shorten with each cell division, contributing to ageing and cellular senescence — a state where cells lose their ability to divide. This process is linked to age-related diseases, driven by telomere dysfunction and DNA damage responses. While factors like chronic inflammation and obesity accelerate telomere shortening, healthy lifestyle choices can help slow it down. Telomere testing offers insights into biological ageing, helping you make informed decisions to support longevity and overall health.
What's included
Biological Age - Telomere
Telomere length serves as a biomarker for cellular ageing, reflecting biological age, which may differ significantly from chronological age.
Test instructions
You’ll receive your blood test kit in the mail, along with logistics for your sample collection.
Book a collection for a venous blood draw using a phlebotomy service from the details that are emailed to you. Please note there is an additional cost associated payable directly to the service 40 GBP (clinic based) or 60 GBP (mobile phlebotomist). This test will require a Monday - Wednesday collection and samples are sent to the lab by the phlebotomist.
