Purovitalis partners with Muhdo for a combined DNA + epigenetic age test: you can discover your biological age (how “old” your body is) relative to chronological age.
What does it test?
Your DNA (genetic baseline)
Epigenetic markers (modifications on DNA that change over time with environment, lifestyle)
Biomarkers like inflammation, “memory age,” eye age, etc.
Why use it?
This can give you insight into how your cells are aging compared to your calendar age. It can help you see how lifestyle, supplements, and interventions might be slowing or reversing biological aging.
How do you take it?
Likely a saliva or cheek swab (rather than blood) — typical for epigenetic / DNA testing kits.
Register your kit, collect your sample according to instructions, and mail it back. (The Muhdo kit instructions include saliva collection & registration steps.)
How long until results?
DNA results often come in ~4 weeks
Epigenetic results may take up to ~8 weeks
How do you interpret the results?
You’ll get your “biological age,” “memory age,” “eye age,” etc. If your biological age is younger than your chronological age, your body is “younger” than your calendar years. If it's older, it suggests accelerated aging. The report often suggests lifestyle, diet, supplement, and exercise interventions tailored to you.
Any precautions or limitations?
Epigenetic age is influenced by many factors: diet, stress, sleep, pollution, disease, etc. It’s not deterministic.
Some variation is normal — don’t make radical decisions based on a single test.
These tests typically provide guidance, not clinical diagnoses. Always consult health professionals for decisions.
Comparison Table & Tips
Test Kit | Sample Type | Purpose | Best For | Timing & Repeatability |
Vitamin D Test | Finger-prick blood | Assess vitamin D status | People suspecting deficiency, optimizing supplementation | Repeat every few months or after intervention |
NAD+ Test | Finger-prick blood | Measure cellular NAD+ level | Users of NAD boosters, metabolic health tracking | Can retest periodically (e.g. every few months) |
Biological / Epigenetic Age | Saliva / DNA sample | Assess biological vs chronological age | Longevity tracking, lifestyle optimization | Retest after 6–12 months to track changes |
General Tips:
Follow kit instructions carefully (e.g. no eating/drinking before sample, proper sealing).
Register the kit / barcode if required (some tests require you link sample to your account).
Use the results as guidance, not absolute truth. Lifestyle, supplementation, and medical oversight should complement them.
Don’t over-interpret minor fluctuations — trends over time matter more.
