TeloYears

Control how well you're aging
based on your telomere length

NEW!

Advanced Ancestry

The world's first next generation sequencing-based ancestry service

TeloYears is the actionable DNA health test. It lets you track your cellular age based on your telomere length, with a personalized plan to help you improve it.

If you take a preventative approach to your health, you should take charge of the health of your telomeres – the protective caps on your DNA strands that shorten with age but also change with good or bad lifestyle factors like chronic stress, sleep quality, exercise, nutrition, chemical intake, and even strained relationships. Discover the current age of your cells in TeloYears - the actual age of the typical man or woman whose telomere length is similar to yours - and improve how well you're aging.

Telomere Science

The longer your telomeres are
the younger your cellular age.

Inside every cell in your body are telomeres, the changing protective caps on the ends of your DNA strands that get shorter with age at a rate that can increase or decrease with lifestyle factors either positive or negative.

Telomere length = the vitality of your cells

Your telomere length is an important measure of your cells' capacity to make copies of themselves, a necessary process for you to grow, heal, and thrive. The age of your cells in TeloYears is based on your telomere length. Learn more at our Telomere Learning Center (TLC) and give your cells more love.
