Longevity Panel
£275.00
Slow biological ageing. Reduce disease risk. Extend your healthspan.
Longevity isn't a single test — it's a system. The Longevity Panel measures the upstream drivers of how you age: chronic inflammation, metabolic flexibility, cardiovascular risk beyond standard cholesterol, and the micronutrient status that quietly governs cellular repair.
The four pillars of biological age we measure
- Inflammation & Stress — hs-CRP, cortisol, DHEA-S. Chronic low-grade inflammation is the single biggest driver of age-related decline.
- Metabolic Health — HbA1c, glucose, insulin, leptin, adiponectin, resistin. Insulin resistance is a faster ageing accelerator than smoking.
- Advanced Cardiovascular — full apolipoprotein panel (Apo A-I, B, B/A-I ratio, CII, CIII, E), small dense LDL, lipoprotein (a). The markers your GP usually doesn't check.
- Cellular Nutrients — full iron studies, B12, folate, zinc, vitamin D, magnesium, calcium.
Fasting required ★ — please fast for 12 hours before your draw. This is critical for accurate insulin, glucose and lipid readings.
Who this is for
Anyone in their 30s onward who wants their healthspan to match their lifespan. Pair it with sleep, training, nutrition and supplementation tweaks — then re-test in 6–12 months and prove what's working.
Analysed in our ISO-accredited UK laboratory.

What we measure
The biomarkers in this panel.
DHEA-S
An adrenal hormone that balances cortisol.
Why it matters
Gives more depth to the stress-and-recovery picture.
HbA1c
Your average blood sugar over the last few months.
Why it matters
Useful for understanding how your body handles sugar over time.
Glucose
Your blood sugar level at the moment of testing.
Why it matters
A snapshot of how your body is handling sugar right now.
Insulin
The hormone that helps move sugar from blood into cells.
Why it matters
Gives insight into how hard your body is working to keep sugar in check.
C-Peptide
A by-product of insulin production.
Why it matters
Shows how much insulin your own body is making.
Leptin
A hormone that helps regulate appetite.
Why it matters
Gives insight into how your body manages weight and hunger.
Adiponectin
A fat-cell hormone linked to metabolism.
Why it matters
Higher levels are generally linked to better metabolic health.
Resistin
Another fat-cell hormone.
Why it matters
Linked to insulin response and metabolic balance.
Total Cholesterol
The total amount of cholesterol in your blood.
Why it matters
A long-standing marker for heart and circulation health.
LDL Cholesterol
The 'less helpful' type of cholesterol.
Why it matters
Higher levels are linked to a greater chance of furred-up arteries over time.
HDL Cholesterol
The 'helpful' type of cholesterol.
Why it matters
Higher levels are generally linked to better heart health.
Total Cholesterol/HDL Cholesterol Ratio
Total cholesterol compared with HDL.
Why it matters
A simple ratio that gives a clearer picture than total cholesterol alone.
Triglycerides
Fats circulating in your blood.
Why it matters
Linked to diet, weight and heart health — often respond well to lifestyle tweaks.
High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein
A sensitive marker of low-level inflammation.
Why it matters
Low-grade inflammation is linked to heart and metabolic health.
Apolipoprotein A-I
The main protein in HDL ('helpful') cholesterol.
Why it matters
Higher levels are generally linked to better heart health.
Apolipoprotein B
The main protein in LDL ('less helpful') cholesterol.
Why it matters
Gives a more direct read on artery-clogging particles than LDL alone.
Apolipoprotein B/A-I Ratio
The balance between the two main cholesterol-carrying proteins.
Why it matters
A useful summary of overall cardiovascular risk.
Apolipoprotein CII
A protein involved in clearing fats from the blood.
Why it matters
Gives extra insight into how your body handles dietary fats.
Apolipoprotein CIII
A protein linked to triglyceride clearance.
Why it matters
Higher levels are linked to higher cardiovascular risk.
Apolipoprotein E
A protein that helps move cholesterol around your body.
Why it matters
Adds depth to the picture of how your body handles fats.
Small LDL Cholesterol
The smaller, denser type of LDL particles.
Why it matters
Small LDL is more closely linked to artery-clogging than larger LDL.
Lipoprotein (a)
A largely genetic cholesterol-carrying particle.
Why it matters
High levels can be a sign of inherited heart-health risk.
Iron
The iron currently circulating in your blood.
Why it matters
Important for energy and oxygen delivery.
Ferritin
Your body's iron stores.
Why it matters
Low levels can leave you feeling tired; very high levels can be a sign of inflammation or iron overload.
Total Iron Binding Capacity
How much iron your blood can carry.
Why it matters
Helps put your iron level in context.
Transferrin
The protein that ferries iron around your body.
Why it matters
Adds detail to the iron-status picture.
Transferrin Saturation
How much of your transferrin is actually carrying iron.
Why it matters
A useful marker for both low iron and iron overload.
Albumin
The main protein in your blood, made by the liver.
Why it matters
Gives insight into liver function and overall nutrition.
Calcium
A mineral important for bones, muscles and nerves.
Why it matters
Useful for understanding bone health and overall nutrition.
Magnesium
A mineral involved in energy, sleep and muscle function.
Why it matters
Low levels are linked to fatigue, cramps and poor sleep.
Folic Acid
A B vitamin important for new cells and red blood cells.
Why it matters
Low levels can leave you feeling tired and run down.
Vitamin B12
A vitamin needed for energy, nerves and red blood cells.
Why it matters
Low levels can be a sign of fatigue, brain fog or nerve issues.
Zinc
A mineral involved in immunity, taste and skin.
Why it matters
Low levels can be linked to slower healing or weaker immunity.
Vitamin D
A vitamin you make from sunlight and get from food.
Why it matters
Linked to bone strength, immune function and mood. Many people in the UK run low.
Is this panel right for me?
Who this panel is built for.
Who this is for
- Adults interested in markers commonly tracked in longevity and healthspan research.
- People reviewing the response of inflammation, metabolic and cardiovascular markers over years.
- Those building a long-term baseline they can repeat annually.
- Anyone interested in markers cited in healthspan literature.
Consider speaking to a clinician first
- Anyone expecting a single test to predict lifespan. No test can.
- People with current symptoms needing clinical review.
- Those needing epigenetic or telomere-based testing (different assay types).
- Children under 18.

FAQs
Common questions.
How long do Longevity Panel results take?
Longevity Panel results are typically delivered within 4 working days of the laboratory receiving your sample. You receive a plain English PDF report.
How is the sample collected for the Longevity Panel?
The Longevity Panel requires a venous blood draw at a Chxhealth or partner clinic. The phlebotomy fee is included in the price. Choose our Lanchester clinic or one of our 50+ UK partner and pop-up clinics when you book.
Who is the Longevity Panel designed for?
Adults focused on healthy ageing, especially from your 40s onwards. The panel is built around the biomarkers most strongly linked to long-term health: cardiometabolic, inflammation, hormonal balance and key nutritional markers.
Should I fast before the Longevity Panel?
Yes. Fast for 10 to 12 hours, water only. Lipids, glucose and insulin in the panel require a true fasted baseline.
How often should I retest the Longevity Panel?
Annually is sensible for long-term tracking. If you are actively changing lifestyle factors (diet, exercise, sleep, supplementation), retest after 3 to 6 months to see the impact.
