    The upgrade for your longevity routine

    • Epigenetic self-test using dried blood
      The neotes bioAge test kit is designed for straightforward sample collection from home. To carry it out, a few drops of capillary blood are applied to a dried-blood card, which is then sent to a specialised German laboratory and analysed there.
    • Determination of biological age and further epigenetic parameters
      According to leading anti-ageing physicians, the Horvath clock is regarded as the gold standard when it comes to measuring biological age. Depending on the test variant, additional epigenetic parameters are evaluated that can provide indications of longevity-relevant functional areas. In addition, practical measures can be discussed in a medical longevity consultation.
    • Analysis of more than 900,000 epigenetic sites
      For the measurement we use the currently most comprehensive Illumina EPIC 2 microarray chip, which reads around 935,000 positions of the DNA and captures a very finely resolved methylation profile. This uses a computational approach that clearly surpasses the accuracy of previous biological clocks.
    • Measuring for your own longevity routine
      Epigenetic markers are dynamic: they respond to factors such as diet, exercise, sleep, stress and environmental exposures and can change again over time. This is precisely where the potential lies. The test result makes visible how the effects of targeted lifestyle changes or medical measures influence biological age and other epigenetic markers over the medium to long term. This creates a new perspective on the interplay between lifestyle, environment and the individual ageing process and can provide motivation to adjust or maintain routines in a targeted way in order to minimise the negative effects of ageing.
    • Detailed report with a comparison to chronological age
      After receipt of the sample and laboratory analysis, the bioAge report is available after approximately 4 weeks. The report summarises the results in a structured way and compares your determined biological age with your chronological age, so that it becomes clear whether your epigenetic profile is currently ageing "more slowly", "in line with" or "faster" than expected. Depending on the package you choose, you also receive insights into epigenetic fitness and nutrition profiles and selected risk and performance markers.

    Hinweis: Ein biologischer Alterstest ist nicht gleich biologischer Alterstest. Wissenschaftlich betrachtet beruhen die dargestellten Verfahren auf grundlegend unterschiedlichen Messprinzipien (Selbstauskunft, funktionelle Tests, Proteomik‑/Speicheltests vs. DNA‑Methylierung im Blut). Epigenetische Bluttests gelten derzeit als eine der am besten untersuchten Methoden zur Abschätzung des biologischen Alters.

    What’s included in the report?

    Understanding the bioAge test

    Your ID says 45. Your body says 40 – or 52.

    Biological age measures how fit and healthy your body actually is at the cellular level – regardless of what your passport says. It is based on epigenetic markers in your DNA and is one of the most meaningful predictors of life expectancy and health risks.

    The key point: your biological age can be changed. Diet, exercise, sleep and stress management directly influence how quickly – or slowly – your cells age.

    How does the neotes bioAge test work?

    1. Schritt

    Order your neotes bioAge test and receive your test kit at home within 1–3 working days. Then activate your individual kit ID.

    2. Schritt

    Using the lancet, take a few drops of capillary blood from your fingertip and apply them to the test card. Allow the card to dry and place it in the prepared return envelope.

    3. Schritt

    In a certified German laboratory, your DNA is analysed and your biological age as well as further relevant markers are determined. After about four weeks you will receive your report – with the Premium package including a longevity medical consultation.

    FAQ

    Wir haben die Antworten

    Yes, the neotes bioAge test is an epigenetic self-test that you can conveniently carry out at home. You receive a test kit with detailed instructions and take a few drops of blood from your fingertip yourself, which are applied to the test card and then sent to the laboratory.​

    Der Langlebigkeitsgen‑Test untersucht genetische Varianten, also vergleichsweise stabile Eigenschaften Ihrer DNA, die sich im Laufe des Lebens in der Regel nicht verändern. Der bioAge Test misst dagegen epigenetische Muster und weitere Marker im Blut, die stark von Ihrem aktuellen Lebensstil beeinflusst werden und sich durch Veränderungen bei Ernährung, Bewegung, Schlaf oder Stressmanagement über die Zeit gezielt verschieben können.

    Ja, der neotes bioAge Test basiert – wie die etablierten epigenetischen Altersuhren („epigenetic clocks“) – auf der Auswertung charakteristischer DNA‑Methylierungsmuster, wie sie erstmals von Steve Horvath für die Altersbestimmung beschrieben wurden.

    The test is aimed at adults of legal age (18 and over) who want to optimise their biological age and lifestyle in a targeted way. As a rule, the test is useful from around the age of 30, especially if you are engaging with prevention, performance or longevity.

    The test kits are usually good for several months; the exact best-before date can be found on the packaging. It is important to store the kit in a dry place at room temperature and to use it by this date at the latest, so that sample quality is ensured.​

    The test kit is activated via a code on the neotes platform before sample collection.

    Ja, ein Upgrade ist jederzeit möglich, solange sich Ihr Testkit noch im Originalzustand befindet und noch nicht registriert wurde. In diesem Fall melden Sie sich bitte vor der Probenentnahme bei unserem Kundenservice, damit wir Ihre Bestellung anpassen und Ihnen die nächsten Schritte für das Upgrade erklären können.

    In the test kit you will find everything you need for sample collection: a blood-collection lancet, a dried-blood card, a disinfectant wipe, a plaster, an illustrated step-by-step guide and return packaging for shipment to the laboratory.

    You can easily give the bioAge test as a gift, for example via our digital Longevity Card as a gift voucher. The recipient can use it to select and order the bioAge test themselves and follow the entire process independently. Click here to access the Longevity Card as a gift voucher.

    In the Longevity Club you usually benefit from a reduced price and additional services such as regular follow-up tests, exclusive content and personal support in interpreting your results. This turns the test into part of a structured longevity strategy.

    First you activate your test kit online, then you use the lancet to take a few drops of capillary blood from your fingertip and apply them to the marked fields on the dried-blood card. You then let the card dry completely, pack it in the protective sleeve provided and, ideally on the day you carry out the test, send it to the laboratory using the enclosed return envelope.

    It is important to warm up your fingertip well (for example with warm water) and to let the sample drip directly onto the test card without touching the filter surface.

    If you were acutely ill in the days or weeks before collection, had a fever, are pregnant, are breastfeeding or have strong cycle fluctuations, you should – if possible – wait for a stable state of health and a regular point in your cycle, as strong inflammation or exceptional hormonal situations can influence biological markers in the short term.

    Idealerweise schicken Sie Ihre Probe noch am Tag der Entnahme oder am darauffolgenden Werktag ab, damit Transportzeit und Lagerung so kurz wie möglich bleiben. Wenn das nicht möglich ist, können Sie die vollständig getrocknete Blutkarte einige Tage trocken, dunkel und bei Raumtemperatur aufbewahren und anschließend versenden; versuchen Sie jedoch, den Versand innerhalb weniger Tage nach der Entnahme vorzunehmen.

    After collection, let the blood card dry completely and then store it in a dry, dark place at room temperature. Send the sample off as soon as possible, ideally within a few days, so that its quality is maintained.

    In principle, you can collect the sample at any time of day. However, an ideal time is one when you are in your normal daily routine – that is, not directly after intense physical exertion, heavy alcohol consumption or an acute illness.

    In principle, you can carry out the test even while taking medication. Some medications can influence epigenetic patterns and therefore the calculated biological age; if you are unsure, it is advisable to consult your doctor and to document your medication accordingly when interpreting the results.

    In der Regel müssen Sie Nahrungsergänzungsmittel vor dem Test nicht absetzen, da der Test Ihren Lebensstil und dessen epigenetische Auswirkungen abbilden soll. Wenn Sie allerdings gerade erst mit neuen Präparaten begonnen haben oder eine Therapie planen und einen echten „Vorher‑Wert“ dokumentieren möchten, kann es sinnvoll sein, den Test vor Start oder nach einer ausreichend langen, stabilen Phase durchzuführen.

    The return address is already pre-printed on the enclosed return envelope. You only need to pack the sample as described and send it via regular post; no further address details are needed.

    For returns from abroad, you should follow the enclosed shipping instructions and declare the test kit as a low-risk biological sample, as described in the instructions. You should allow for possible delays due to customs or longer transit times and send the sample as soon as possible after collection.

    Yes, you can carry out the sample collection together with your doctor if they would like to support you. However, the test itself remains a self-test with submission to the specialised laboratory.

    The results report shows your biological age compared with your chronological age, graphical overviews of the most important epigenetic parameters, as well as risk profiles and recommendation notes. At a glance you can see whether your biological age is accelerated or slowed and in which areas there is the greatest need for action.

    After your sample arrives at the laboratory, the analysis usually takes about 3–4 weeks. As soon as the report is complete, you will be notified by email and can access your results report.

    Your data is processed pseudonymously, which means the laboratory works with a sample code and not with your name. The digital results report is provided via a secure platform, and data processing takes place in accordance with the applicable data protection standards.​

    The test analyses the methylation patterns of your DNA at a large number of defined positions and supplements this data with further markers associated with ageing and health.

    A special algorithm compares your personal methylation profile with large reference cohorts of your age and sex and, from this, calculates your biological age and additional biomarkers.

    If you deliberately change your diet, exercise, sleep or other lifestyle factors, you can use repeat tests to check whether your biological age stabilises, slows down or even becomes younger over time. Your bioAge value and further parameters thus become objective feedback for your personal longevity programme.

    A single test is sufficient for a simple assessment of your current status. If you want to test specific interventions, control measurements are recommended roughly every 6–12 months, as epigenetic changes need time to be stably reflected in the profile. Shorter intervals usually provide only limited additional benefit.

    Der neotes bioAge Test nutzt moderne DNA‑Methylierungs‑Mikroarrays (z.B. Illumina MethylationEPIC2), mit denen an Hunderttausenden definierter CpG‑Positionen im Genom der Methylierungsgrad gemessen wird. Diese Plattformen sind in zahlreichen wissenschaftlichen Studien etabliert, zeigen eine hohe Reproduzierbarkeit und werden auch in vielen Veröffentlichungen zu epigenetischen Uhren und Altersmarkern eingesetzt.

    Aus den Chip‑Daten werden die Methylierungswerte an einer Auswahl besonders aussagekräftiger CpG‑Stellen extrahiert und in einen statistischen Algorithmus eingespeist, der auf großen Referenzkohorten mit bekanntem Alter trainiert wurde (nach dem Prinzip der Horvath‑Clock und weiterentwickelten epigenetischen Uhren).

    Epigenetic ageing tests are currently among the most precise methods for calculating biological age from blood samples. The underlying algorithms are based on large scientific data sets.

    If your biological age is significantly above your calendar age, this may indicate accelerated ageing and an increased risk of age-related diseases. In this case it makes sense to work in a targeted way, together with specialists, on diet, exercise, sleep, stress management and other factors, and to take further data into account.

    Der Bericht und die Beratung (nur für Premium) enthält personalisierte Empfehlungen zu Ernährung, Bewegung, Regeneration und weiteren Faktoren, die Ihr biologisches Alter beeinflussen.
