Genome

Your Genetic Blueprint

Get valuable insights into your unique genetic makeup with our easy-to-use home test kit.  Using a gold standard Illumina chip, we analyse over 750k positions from a simple saliva sample. This allows us to determine your unique profile of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) – natural variations in DNA building blocks with high accuracy. We grant you access to a curated list of over 250 gene variants that affect your longevity and wellbeing.

50+ Blood biomarkers

Blood deep dive 

The comprehensive analysis of more than 50 longevity-specific blood biomarkers ensures no stone is left unturned in your pursuit of optimal health. In addition to the essential biomarkers, this package includes testing for thyroid, sex and growth hormones.

We also assess vitamins and minerals, critical for your longevity and many biological processes. 
Professional blood sampling is arranged by NU through our testing partners in your location.

UP TO 50 Blood biomarkers

Blood deep dive 

The comprehensive analysis of up to 50 longevity-specific blood biomarkers ensures no stone is left unturned in your pursuit of optimal health.

In order to calculate a reliable blood age and come up with meaningful biological summaries and recommendations, we need certain biomarkers to be included in the results you upload. Please contact us at support@thenu.com if you are unsure whether you have the correct results.

OPTIMAL BIOMARKER RANGES 

Personal biomarker ranges 

We are all unique. For example, what may be considered an optimal cholesterol level for one person may not be the same for you. Therefore, we go beyond regular testing and calculate personalised optimal ranges of the essential biomarkers to give you a precise reference point for measuring your health and progress.

  • Our recommendations can help bring your biomarkers to the optimal range

MICROBIOME 

You contain multitudes 

Learn what lives in your gut! A healthy and diverse group of microorganisms in your gut is essential for optimal digestion and immune system. Our home stool test kit comes with an easy step-by-step guide, and with it, you can discover which of the 300+ known species are part of your gut microbiome and how they affect your body and health.  

EPIGENOME

Your cellular age 

Experience the power of a comprehensive analysis without the hassle of additional tests! From the same saliva sample, we can analyse 850k epigenetic methylation sites and your telomere length – a true reflection of your unique ageing process.

The epigenome is the gene-regulating methylation that shapes your body’s functionality. Unlike the genome, the epigenome can change during your lifetime and reveal your precise biological age.

AGE CLOCK

Your NU age 

Our multi-dimensional approach to age clock calculations combines blood, microbiome and epigenetic data to deliver the comprehensive measurement of your biological age on the market. This is your NU age.
  • Blood age calculation: Each one of your biomarkers tells a part of your ageing story. Combing this information, we get a good idea of your body’s real age.
  • Microbiome age calculation: The diversity of your microbiome and the abundance of certain bacterial species are good indicators of your real age, as diversity tends to decrease over time.
  • Epigenetic age calculation: Your epigenetic age is based on chemical (methylation) markers on our DNA. The accumulation of epigenetic changes is a good predictor of your biological age.

AGE CLOCK

Your NU age 

Our actionable approach to age clock calculations determines your biological from your existing blood test. You will be able to see which biomarkers drive ageing and take targeted action.

BIOLOGICAL SUMMARIES

360° understanding 

Understanding your health data can be overwhelming, which is why we translate your complex blood and genetic information into personal biological summaries.

These summaries describe the state of critical biological processes in your body, such as liver function, inflammation or cardiovascular health. To make them easily understandable and actionable, we group summaries into 3 categories: strength, focus and neutral, to act as your guide and empower you to make informed decisions about your health.

Activity, lifestyle and nutrition

Change yourself

Your journey to optimal health doesn't stop at knowledge – it extends to a deeply personalised action plan created by our AI-engine and team of experts. To help you help improve your overall wellbeing we will provide you with tailored nutrition and lifestyle recommendations based on your NU questionnaire and your unique biomarker, gut microbiome genetic profile. For the most precise and effective recommendations, we also factor in your gut microbiome analysis. 

  • Learn which food items work the best for you and which ones to avoid
  • Personalised exercise routine that fits your current biology
  • Handpicked lifestyle habits that can actually make the difference for you
