Biological Age Tests
Two distinct biological age tests reveal your true age, speed of aging, and potential longevity risks.
Prevent chronic disease
Slow down aging
Track progress over time
Generation Lab
Measures DNA Methylation
Choose Generation Lab to explore how your cells are aging at a genetic level.
- Evaluates methylation from cheek swab sample
- Measures aging factors across 12 organs and 7 body systems
- Evaluates aging stressors to determine your current rate of aging and potential risk factors

GlycanAge
Measures Inflammaging
Choose GlycanAge for a deeper understanding of inflammation and its influence on aging.
- Evaluates glycans from blood sample
- Analyzes indices across 29 different inflammatory glycan structures
- GlycanAge chronological age indicates high inflammation and increased risk of chronic disease

Common questions
Generation Lab
How does the Generation Lab test work?
Step 1: Purchase your test here.
Step 2: Extension Health’s concierge team works with you to schedule your in-office blood draw at our NYC clinic.
Step 3: Our clinical team draws your blood and sends your sample to GlycanAge for analysis.
Step 4: About 3 weeks later, you’ll receive a detailed report with your GlycanAge results.
Step 5: Build a personalized plan with Extension Health longevity specialists to slow down your rate of aging.
How long does it take to get my results?
You will receive your biological age results about 3 weeks after your blood draw.
How often should I test?
Recommended testing frequency depends on your health goals and risks. In general, we recommend testing at least once a year to assess the efficacy of lifestyle changes and treatments. We also advise testing before and after starting a new longevity treatment to accurately assess how the treatment impacts your biological age.
How much does the Generation Lab test cost?
$350.
