Which epigenetic clock do you use for the epigenetic part of the DNA&BioAge test?Updated 8 months ago

We use the Horvarth clock to measure biological age.

This epigenetic "clock" is based on a set of 353 DNA methylation sites that are sufficient to accurately predict biological age in different cells and tissues [Horvath 2013]. The epigenetic clock can be used to determine a person's biological age, which could soon contribute to better diagnosis and disease classification in medical research.

We would like to mention that we are not allowed to make any medical statements about treatments in our counselling sessions.
