Description
The Age Nexus™ Blood Test is a cutting-edge assessment that evaluates biological aging by combining Telomere Length Analysis with a comprehensive Micronutrient Panel. This dual approach provides insight into how your body is aging at the cellular level—often revealing a biological age that may be younger or older than your chronological age.
Telomeres are protective DNA sequences at the ends of chromosomes that shorten with each cell division. Their length is a clinically recognized biomarker of cellular aging and longevity. Shorter telomeres have been associated with increased risk of chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, dementia, stroke, and cancer.
Why This Panel Is Important:
- Measures biological aging and cellular health
- Identifies micronutrient deficiencies that may accelerate telomere shortening
- Provides a personalized roadmap to support healthy aging through targeted nutrition and lifestyle changes
- Helps reduce disease risk and optimize longevity, energy, and immune function
