Product description
What’s good for you depends on your daily routine and, in part, on your genetic predisposition. The Longevity DNA test shows how your genes are geared toward weight loss, nutrition, fitness, and skin care.
To do this, the lab analyzes more than 170 genetic variations from your saliva sample. These are SNPs, or single inherited sections of your DNA that differ from person to person. Your results classify you into different types, for example your diet type, and provide recommendations for your daily routine.
Your DNA doesn’t change, so one test is enough for life. The results describe predispositions and are not a diagnosis, and a predisposition doesn’t determine your future. You choose your own path.
The DNA test is perfect for you if you …
- want to know which diet suits your genetic predisposition.
- want to understand why diets affect you differently than others.
- want to find out which training stimuli suit your genetic makeup.
- want to know your skin type instead of guessing.
- would rather find out about weight loss, nutrition, fitness, and skin with one test instead of four.
The thought
Your DNA doesn’t change. What changes is how much you know about it.
What you eat, how you train, and how your skin ages all depend on the same question: how your body works on the inside. The Longevity DNA Test assesses weight loss, nutrition, fitness, and skin from a saliva sample. Because your DNA doesn’t change, one test is enough for life.
Why a test
Why four topics in one DNA test?
Because they’re connected. Anyone who takes an interest in nutrition sooner or later turns to exercise, and skin is tied to both. That’s why the Longevity DNA Test analyzes all four from the same saliva sample, in one report.

What can't the Longevity DNA test do?
It is not a medical examination and does not provide a diagnosis.
- It does not provide information about illnesses and does not replace a visit to the doctor.
- It does not measure your biological age or predict how long you will live.
- Genetic variants describe probabilities in population groups. They do not define you.
- It doesn’t show how you’re doing today. Your investment stays the same for life; blood tests show the current status.
- It doesn’t make the decision for you. For health-related questions, your doctor is the right person to ask.

Questions
Frequently asked questions about the longevity DNA test
What is a longevity DNA test?
An analysis of your genetic predispositions across four related areas: nutrition, weight loss, fitness, and skin. More than 170 genetic variations are analyzed from a saliva sample, meaning individual points in the genetic makeup that differ from person to person.
You want to lose weight and turn to exercise. You work out and wonder what you should eat. That’s exactly why these areas are included in one analysis instead of four separate ones. The report explains how your body handles food, which training stimuli suit your predispositions, and how much time you need to recover. It also includes ratings of over 1,000 foods, sorted by how well they match your predispositions.
If you’re only interested in one of these questions, the test is overkill. There’s SLIM for weight loss alone, NutriCare for nutrition, VITALITY for exercise, and Anti-Aging SKINCARE for skin. It’s easy to see why you might object that a report covering four topics can’t do justice to any of them. The advantage lies elsewhere: everything is based on the same saliva sample and included in one document, instead of being spread across four orders and four waiting periods.
What does the Longevity DNA test analyze?
Over 170 gene variants, analyzed in 74 reports across 240 pages and 12 chapters. It also includes an assessment of over 1,000 foods. It covers how your body handles food and your predispositions for training and recovery, as well as your skin type.
More than 170 genetic variations are analyzed, meaning sites in the genome where people differ from one another. They cover four topics: nutrition, weight loss, fitness, and skin. This is the most comprehensive DNA analysis in the range and the only one that isn’t tailored to a single topic. You collect the sample yourself at home, and you won’t need a second test later. Your DNA doesn’t change, so one test is enough for a lifetime. You can revisit the report in five years if your question has changed, without having to take the test again.
How much does the Longevity DNA Test cost, and what is included?
You pay once because the results are valid for life. Included are the test kit and the complete analysis with 74 reports across 240 pages, as well as an assessment of over 1,000 foods. More than 170 genetic variants are analyzed from a single saliva sample.
How long does the analysis take?
15 to 25 business days from receipt of your sample, with analysis carried out in Germany. Analysis and review of the results take place during this time. In addition, there is shipping time for the kit and for your return shipment, which cannot be stated as a fixed amount.
Who is the Longevity DNA test suitable for?
For you if you no longer want to approach nutrition and training separately. Skin depends on both and is included in the report. It’s right for people who want to test once instead of buying four tests one after another. It’s not right if you’re expecting a medical evaluation.
This analysis is the most comprehensive in the range, and that isn’t an advantage for everyone. More reports don’t automatically mean more value. If you want to know why diets affect you differently, you don’t need 74 reports, but the 24 in SLIM. For nutrition, there’s NutriCare with the same food ratings; for training, VITALITY. Longevity is worth it if these questions come together for you and you don’t want to tackle them one by one. Then, with one saliva sample, you get what would otherwise take four tests, and you keep it for life.
A second test will never be needed because your predispositions don’t change. Research moves forward; your results remain the same.
What distinguishes it from the smaller DNA tests?
The scope. The smaller analyses each cover one topic, these four. Over 170 genetic variants instead of 33 to 140, 74 reports instead of 18 to 54. If you only have one question, one of the smaller tests is a better fit.
What does skin have to do with nutrition and exercise?
It depends on both. The report describes skin type and the skin’s nutrient requirements, as well as predispositions to oxidative stress.
Skin is usually treated as a skincare topic and rarely as part of the same system. The report describes your skin type and your skin’s nutritional needs. It also covers your predisposition to oxidative stress, meaning the strain on cells caused by reactive oxygen compounds. This makes it possible to choose skincare based on your own predispositions rather than the average. The report does not prescribe a routine; it describes your starting point.
What does longevity mean, and how can a DNA test contribute to it?
Longevity means long life. A DNA test cannot predict it. What it can do is provide an assessment of your predispositions, detailed in 74 reports.
How long someone lives depends on so many factors that no analysis can predict it. What a DNA test can offer is something more modest and useful. It shifts the question from lifespan to the everyday life that helps shape it. It puts into context how your body processes food and what kinds of stress suit its makeup. Skin is part of the picture too, because it is connected to both. This description remains. What comes of it is determined by what you do every day. Your genetic makeup is not a fixed destiny, but a description of what you have to work with.
The benefit is being able to put four areas into context at once, rather than working through them one by one. If you’re looking for a measurement, a blood test is a better option. One measures a state; the other describes a predisposition. Both have their place, but they answer different questions.
Can a DNA test determine my biological age?
No. An age value cannot be derived from genetic variations; there are specific methods for that. This test describes predispositions, and they remain the same throughout your life. So they say nothing about your current condition.
What does the Longevity DNA test not show?
It does not make diagnoses or say anything about diseases. It cannot determine your life expectancy. It also does not measure current values, because it reads predispositions, not measurements. These do not change over the course of your life.
It makes no promise of a longer life, either. Genetic variants describe probabilities across population groups and are not a prediction for you as an individual. Your genetic makeup describes what you’re working with, not what you will become. An examination shows what is currently happening in your body, not an analysis of your genetic makeup. Your doctor is responsible for medical questions.
Longevity ALL IN ONE DNA Test: one report covering four topics and many years
Buy the Longevity ALL IN ONE DNA test: over 170 genetic variants, four topics, one report
The Longevity test analyzes over 170 genetic variations from a saliva sample, in 74 analysis reports spanning 240 pages and 12 chapters. It also assesses over 1,000 foods.
Genetic variations are individual spots in the genome where people differ. The Longevity ALL IN ONE DNA test is the most comprehensive in the range and covers four topics: weight loss and nutrition, including how your metabolism works and where your nutrient needs are above average; fitness and recovery; and finally, skin, including skin type, skin aging, and nutrient needs. You pay the return postage. 15 to 25 business days after the sample arrives at a specialist laboratory in Germany, your report will be available in the app and as a PDF in the customer portal. If only one of these topics concerns you, a smaller test is the more affordable choice. The DNA Metabolism Tests category shows all five side by side.
Longevity all-in-one DNA test instead of individual tests: When does it pay off?
When at least two of the four topics interest you. Then you get them all in one report from a single sample, instead of buying several tests one after another.
The smaller DNA tests each focus on one topic: SLIM on weight loss, NutriCare on nutrition, VITALITY on training, and SKINCARE on skin. If you buy two of them, you submit a saliva sample twice and read two reports. Longevity covers everything in one go and connects topics that are linked in everyday life anyway. You want to lose weight and end up thinking about training; you train and wonder what you should eat. The price is shown in the purchase box above. It’s especially worthwhile for people who want to test once and then refer back to it for answers to many questions. If you’re sure you’re only interested in one topic, you’ll pay less with the relevant smaller test. For weight loss alone, for example, there’s the WeightLoss | SLIM DNA test.
Longevity ALL IN ONE DNA test or blood wellness check: predisposition or current levels?
The DNA test describes what you’re born with. A Wellness Check measures blood values that change, so it’s worth taking more than once.
Anyone interested in healthy aging will come across both types of tests. The Longevity test reads your genetic predispositions from a saliva sample. They stay the same, so one test is enough, and you can look up the report again years later. Blood values, on the other hand, show your status today and can shift with diet, exercise, and stage of life. There are dedicated profiles for this: the Women's Wellness Check | Women's Health Test for women, with 18 values, and the Men's Wellness Check for men, with 17. The two types of tests don’t replace each other. The DNA test explains what you can pay attention to; the blood test shows where your values stand today. Neither predicts how old you’ll live to be, and neither provides a diagnosis.
How do you use the Longevity ALL IN ONE DNA test report over the years?
As a reference. Your DNA does not change. That’s why one test is enough for a lifetime, and the 12 chapters guide you through changing questions.
At first, you’ll probably read the section you bought it for, such as weight loss. Six months later, you might start a new training routine, then have a question about your skin. For each one, you can consult the same report instead of buying a new test. You can take the food table with over 1,000 entries with you when you go shopping. What changes over time is the state of research into individual genetic variations, not your results. To find out where your levels stand today, you can add a blood test over the years, such as one from the Longevity | Healthy Aging category.
Longevity ALL IN ONE DNA test for weight loss: Is the comprehensive test worth it if you're trying to lose weight?
Only if you want to learn more than just about weight. Weight loss is part of Longevity, as well as the smaller SLIM, which does not assess foods.
Many people start with weight and later realize that eating, training, and well-being are connected. Then Longevity is the choice that doesn’t end with the first report. It shows you how your metabolism works, which of over 1,000 foods suit your predisposition, which training stimuli work for you, and how long you need to recover. If, on the other hand, you’re only wondering why diets affect you differently, SLIM is enough. It costs less and sticks to the subject. If you’d like help putting the results into practice, you’ll find a 28-day plan with recipes in the DNA Metabolism Analysis | incl. 28-Day Plan & Recipe Book. Neither test promises weight loss. They provide an explanation; putting it into practice is up to you.
Does the Longevity ALL IN ONE DNA test say anything about your life expectancy?
No. It does not predict how old you will live to or tell you your biological age. It describes your predispositions relating to nutrition, training, and skin.
The name can easily promise more than a genetic test can deliver. Longevity means a long life, and how long someone lives depends on many things that a saliva sample cannot capture. The Longevity ALL IN ONE shows you what you’re working with: how your body processes food, what your nutrient needs are, how you train and recover, and your skin’s characteristics. What you do with this information is up to you. It is not a diagnostic procedure, does not predict disease, and does not replace a medical examination or consultation. Genetic variants describe probabilities in population groups, not certainties for individuals. If you have questions about your health, consult a doctor; the report can serve as a basis for discussion. Your predispositions do not determine your choices; they provide a framework within which you make them.
