Discover how old your body really is at the cellular level. This epigenetic test measures your biological age—not the years since your birth, but how your cells are actually ageing based on DNA methylation patterns. The difference matters: your biological age can be years younger or older than your chronological age depending on your lifestyle.
Unlike your fixed DNA which never changes, epigenetic markers are dynamic—they respond to your diet, exercise, sleep, stress, and environment. This means you can actively influence them, and track your progress over time. It's like having a biological speedometer that tells you whether your health interventions are actually working.
The test calculates multiple age biomarkers including your overall biological age, memory age, eyesight age, and hearing age, alongside inflammation and immune function scores. Results include 12 months of complimentary access to MAISIE, your AI Health Coach who provides personalised recommendations to help you reverse biological ageing.

- Trackable over time – Unlike DNA, epigenetic markers change—retest every 6–12 months to measure progress
- 12 months AI Health Coach – MAISIE provides personalised strategies to reduce your biological age
- Eurofins laboratory – Analysed at one of Europe's leading genomics labs
- Results in 3–4 weeks – From sample arrival at the laboratory
What You'll Discover
Plus inflammation score, immune function assessment, and DNA methylation analysis
Results are available within 3–4 weeks from the sample arriving at Eurofins laboratory. You'll receive detailed digital reports including all age biomarkers with interpretation guidance and actionable insights.
How It Works
We'll send you a saliva collection kit with a collection tube, funnel, stabilising solution, simple instructions, and a prepaid return envelope. Just deposit saliva into the tube until it reaches the fill line—it typically takes 2–5 minutes. No needles, no blood, no clinic visit needed.
Before collection: Do not eat, drink (except water), smoke, or chew gum for at least 30 minutes. This ensures your saliva is free from contaminants.
Your kit includes: Saliva collection tube with funnel, stabilising solution cap, biohazard specimen bag, prepaid return envelope, step-by-step instructions, and kit registration card.

Your overall biological age is calculated using advanced epigenetic clock algorithms that analyse DNA methylation patterns across hundreds of specific sites in your genome. This is the single most comprehensive measure of how old your body is at the cellular level.
A biological age lower than your chronological age suggests your cells are ageing slower than average—a sign that your lifestyle is working in your favour. A higher biological age indicates accelerated ageing, often driven by chronic stress, poor sleep, inflammation, or suboptimal nutrition. The good news: studies show that interventions like improved diet, regular exercise, and quality sleep can reverse biological age by several years.
Memory age analyses epigenetic markers associated with cognitive function, neuroplasticity, and brain health. These patterns reflect how factors like sleep quality, mental stimulation, physical exercise, diet, and chronic stress have impacted your brain at the molecular level.
A younger memory age suggests your brain is maintaining plasticity and function well. An older memory age may indicate the need for interventions including improved sleep, regular aerobic exercise (which promotes BDNF production), omega-3 fatty acids, and cognitive challenges like learning new skills.
Eyesight age examines epigenetic markers associated with ocular health, including factors affecting the retina, lens, and optic nerve. UV exposure, blue light, oxidative stress, and nutrient status all leave epigenetic signatures that influence eye health.
A younger eyesight age suggests your eyes are ageing well. An older eyesight age may indicate the need for UV protection, blue light filtering, antioxidant-rich nutrition (lutein, zeaxanthin, vitamin A), and regular eye examinations.
Hearing age examines epigenetic markers associated with auditory system health, evaluating how noise exposure, oxidative stress, and inflammation have impacted your hearing at the cellular level.
Chronic exposure to loud environments, certain medications, and poor cardiovascular health can accelerate hearing age. This assessment guides interventions including hearing protection, anti-inflammatory nutrition, and cardiovascular health optimisation.
Chronic low-grade inflammation—sometimes called "inflammaging"—is a key driver of accelerated biological ageing and age-related conditions. This analysis examines DNA methylation patterns in genes associated with inflammatory pathways.
High inflammation scores may indicate the need for anti-inflammatory dietary strategies (reducing processed foods, increasing omega-3s), stress management, improved sleep, and potentially targeted supplementation. Tracking inflammation over time reveals whether your interventions are working.
DNA methylation plays a vital role in immune function by controlling gene expression, immune cell differentiation, and cytokine production. This analysis evaluates epigenetic markers related to immune system health.
Results indicate how well your body is equipped to respond to pathogens, clear infections, and maintain immune balance. Strategies to support optimal immune function include nutrition (vitamin D, zinc, vitamin C), sleep optimisation, stress reduction, and targeted supplementation.
DNA methylation is an epigenetic mechanism that turns genes on or off without changing the underlying DNA sequence. These chemical markers change over time based on your diet, stress levels, exercise habits, sleep quality, and exposure to environmental toxins.
By analysing your methylation patterns, this test reveals how your everyday lifestyle choices are actively affecting your health at the genetic level. Importantly, unlike fixed DNA traits, methylation patterns can be improved—making this a powerful tool for tracking the efficacy of longevity interventions.

Good to Know
This epigenetic test measures your biological age based on DNA methylation patterns. Unlike DNA tests which reveal fixed traits, epigenetic markers are dynamic—they change in response to your lifestyle. This makes them ideal for tracking the impact of health interventions over time.
For optimal tracking, consider retesting every 6–12 months to monitor improvements in your biological age and other markers. Results should be discussed with a qualified healthcare professional, particularly if they relate to health concerns.
UK delivery only. Non-refundable once dispatched. This test is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
