What it is

Telomeres are protective caps on the ends of your chromosomes. They tend to get shorter as you age. This test measures their length and compares it with others your age.

Who it may help

Adults curious about their biological age who understand this is not a standard medical test and cannot predict their health on its own.

What to expect

Your provider draws your sample at home. At your follow-up, you go over the result and the habits that matter most for healthy aging.

What telomeres are

Telomeres are protective caps on the ends of chromosomes. They tend to shorten as cells divide and as people age.

Limits of the test

Shorter telomeres are linked to aging and some diseases across large groups of people, but one result cannot predict your lifespan. Results can also differ between labs and methods.

Using the result well

The habits linked to longer telomeres, such as exercise, good sleep, not smoking and a healthy diet, are worth doing whatever your number. Treat the result as motivation, not a verdict.
