How METHUS Works
BIOLOGICAL AGE TEST
Biological Age & Epigenetic tests can be conducted from the comfort of your own home by providing a saliva sample. You will receive an analysis report informing you of your biological age - the age your body really is rather than the amount of times you have been around the sun. The results of these tests can inform you of your current health and vitality, and can be useful in prompting you in ways you can improve your health, and slow your rate of ageing for the future.
Easy At-Home Saliva DNA Test Includes:
- Discover your Biological Age
- Facial age Analysis
- Carrier gene status for family planning
- Personalised insights into diet and your nutritional needs
- 50+ health reports tailored to your individual needs and genetics
- Expert solutions to improve health & extend lifespan based on your DNA
- Learn about your unique fitness abilities
- Retest in 6-12 months to discover your rate of ageing
Latest research has indicated that the speed of ageing, which is individual to each person depending on genetic and lifestyle factors, is related to the loss of vital epigenetic instructions needed to work properly in our organs, which slows down cell and organ function.
Every complex process for the human body is encoded in DNA. DNA holds the blueprint for the production of proteins, which are essential for every biological function. This blueprint is intricately regulated by epigenetics, the controller of how the genetic information is expressed to form different organs or tissues in the body.
Over time, with cellular damage or poor lifestyle choices, chemical tags on DNA can activate or deactivate genes. Like scratches on a record, these epigenetic changes can gather over time leading to decreased accuracy of gene expression, similar to the record jumping or having interference on playback. Examples of this decreased accuracy of expression may be the changing texture of skin or the greying of hair with age. This model of ageing suggests that the loss of intact and youthful epigenetic information is the driving force behind the ageing process.

NAD+ is an essential molecule found in every cell of your body. It is essential for creating cellular energy, maintaining cellular health, DNA repair and metabolism. Studies show that NAD+ levels drop almost 50% once we reach middle age. Falling levels of NAD+ have been related to age related diseases, with current research examining the therapeutic potential of NMN in diabetes, cardiovascular issues and cognitive impairment. NAD+ is a large molecule that is not absorbed into the body easily.
If taken by mouth, NMN is quickly and efficiently absorbed and converted into NAD+. 600mg NMN orally each day has been shown to increase circulating NAD+ levels by 391% in 30 days. NMN can be found in fruits and vegetables including broccoli and cucumbers, although it would take eating kilograms of these foods each day to achieve the levels of NMN that is contained in these capsules. Resveratrol is an anti-oxidant found in grape and blueberry skins that improves the conversion of NMN into NAD+. Black pepper extract enhances bioavailability and absorption of natural compounds.
