What is a Telomere Test and Why Does It Matter?
The Telomere Test is a revolutionary biomarker assessment that measures the length of your telomeres – the protective DNA sequences at the ends of your chromosomes. These telomeres shorten each time your cells divide, and their length is considered one of the most accurate indicators of your biological age. Accelerated telomere shortening has been linked to chronic disease, premature aging, and decreased lifespan. Our Telomere Test helps you understand how rapidly you’re aging at the cellular level, enabling you to take control with personalised lifestyle and therapeutic interventions.
Why Telomere Testing is Important
Aging Is Inevitable – But the Speed of Aging Is Not
-
🧬 Evaluate your biological age vs chronological age
-
🔎 Detect cellular stress, inflammation, and oxidative damage
-
⚖️ Tailor your anti-aging or regenerative protocols
-
💪 Monitor the impact of NAD+, stem cell, or lifestyle therapies
-
🧠 Improve overall vitality and cognitive function over time
What Biomarkers Are Tested?
The Telomere Test analyses the average telomere length in your white blood cells (leukocytes), which serve as an accurate reflection of systemic cellular aging. The test assesses:
-
Mean Telomere Length: Measures the average length of telomeres across your white blood cells.
-
Percentile Ranking: Compares your telomere length with others in your age group to show whether you are aging faster or slower than average.
-
Telomere Shortening Rate: (Optional in follow-up testing) Tracks how quickly your telomeres are shortening over time, indicating the effectiveness of your anti-aging or regenerative treatment plans.
-
Cellular Age Estimation: Calculates your biological age versus your actual (chronological) age.
-
Cellular Stress Indicators: Implies oxidative stress or inflammation burden that may be contributing to telomere attrition.
Who Should Take This Test?
-
Adults over 30 seeking healthy aging strategies
-
Individuals with a family history of age-related diseases
-
Biohackers and wellness-focused individuals
-
Patients planning Stem Cells or NAD+ therapies
-
Anyone wanting a baseline of cellular health for tracking longevity
