Horvath
The first multi-tissue epigenetic clock.
Biological age
A clear view of how you age.
A few drops of blood, analysed with our own epigenetic clock. Your report estimates your biological age and your pace of aging.
Launching in Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium. Results usually within 4 weeks after your sample arrives at the lab.

Your age in years is only one number.
DNA methylation shows how your body is aging at a molecular level. zeitlens turns it into a clear estimate you can follow over time.

Your report
What you see in your report
Not one number in isolation, but a set of estimates with the context to read them.
Biological age estimate
Your biological age, estimated with the zeitlens clock and shown next to your age in years.
Pace of aging
An estimate of how fast you are aging biologically right now, expressed as years of biological aging per calendar year.
Context and limits
What the estimates mean, how much a value can vary between measurements, and what the report can and cannot tell you.

The science
Built on published research
Epigenetic clocks read chemical marks on your DNA, called methylation, that change in characteristic ways as we age. Our own clock is modelled in a similar way to published clocks such as these, which are widely used in aging research.
PhenoAge
Developed using a composite of clinical blood markers.
GrimAge
Combines methylation-based estimates of plasma proteins and smoking history.
DunedinPACE
Estimates the current pace of biological aging.
Your data
Private by design
01
Stored in the EU
All data is hosted in the EU. Nothing is transferred outside the EU.
02
Pseudonymised samples
The lab only sees a sample ID. Your name and your lab data are linked through a separately stored key.
03
Never for marketing
Your results are never used for marketing. Research use only with your separate, optional consent.
04
Your rights
You can access your data, withdraw your consent and have your data deleted at any time.

What is biological age?
Biological age is an estimate of how old your body seems at a molecular level, as opposed to your age in years (your chronological age). zeitlens estimates it from DNA methylation: chemical marks on your DNA that change in characteristic ways as we age.
Is this a medical test?
No. zeitlens is a wellness service and not a medical device. The test is not intended to detect, predict, monitor or treat any disease. If you have health concerns, please talk to your doctor.
How do I take the sample? Does it hurt?
You prick your fingertip with the lancet in the kit and let a small device soak up a few drops of blood. Most people feel a short pinch. The sample dries in minutes and you send it back by post.
How long until I get my results?
Usually within 4 weeks after your sample arrives at the lab. We let you know by email when your report is ready in your portal.
Where is my data stored?
All data is hosted in the EU and never transferred outside the EU. Your sample only carries an ID number; your name and your lab data are linked through a separately stored key.
