Epigenetics
Epigenetics | Healthy Aging
A drop of blood from your finger shows how lifestyle, stress and environment leave epigenetic traces in your genes — and how they affect healthy ageing.
No prescription needed. Ships the next working day.
| Sample type | Capillary blood (bloodspot) |

| Method | DNA-Methylierungsanalyse |
| Turnaround | 7–21 days from sample arrival |

Molecular insight
DNA methylation patterns of relevant genes show how lifestyle and environment affect gene expression
Analysed in the partner laboratory
Evaluation against the laboratory’s reference ranges
Sample collection at home
A quick finger prick, no doctor's visit needed
Results consultation included
15 minutes of free discussion of your result
Principle
Measure first, then decide
Without measured values, any treatment is guesswork. We turn the order around: the lab report first, then the decision.

ORY experts stay with you
Doctors and Heilpraktiker from the ORY team are there for you the whole way — with your lab report and with whatever follows.
What a value means, and whether a supplement is right for you, is something to discuss with a practitioner. This page makes no recommendation and is no substitute for medical assessment.

What is in this analysis
What is measured
DNA methylation patterns of genes linked with healthy ageing — shaped by stress, diet, sleep and exercise.
The biomarker reference explains what lies behind the numbers: how values interact, which cofactors are involved and which biochemical processes take place in the body — for all values and areas, not only this analysis.

For whom
Epigenetics | Healthy Ageing suits anyone looking for an objective assessment beyond chronological age — for example as part of a longevity or prevention plan, or to understand how lifestyle factors such as stress, diet and exercise act at the molecular level.
What a single value means in your situation is something you discuss with a practitioner. This does not replace medical assessment.
How it works
Four steps from order to lab report.
- 01 Kit arrives Ships the next working day, postage paid to your door.
- 02 Take the bloodspot A quick finger prick, 3–5 drops onto the pre-punched field, leave to dry for 45–60 minutes.
- 03 Send it in Labelled, in the foil packaging with the request form.
- 04 Get your lab report 7–21 days after the sample arrives, with a consultation if you want one.
Instructions
The key points first:
- Warm the hand well first, clean the finger with an alcohol swab and let it dry.
- Put 3–5 drops of blood onto the pre-punched field of the bloodspot card and leave to air-dry for 45–60 minutes.
- Send it labelled, in the foil packaging with the request form.
Please read the instructions carefully. Correct preparation matters: it is what allows your sample — stool, urine, saliva or blood — to be evaluated cleanly and meaningfully.

Sending your sample back
So your sample reaches the laboratory safely, please follow the rule for your country.
| Country | Postage | Shipping |
|---|---|---|
| Germany | Already paid | Return postage is prepared, you do not need to add a stamp. |
| Austria | Add your own postage | To our address in Vienna, not to Germany. |
| Switzerland | Add your own postage | Separate return bag for Switzerland, sent to Germany. |
| Rest of Europe | Add your own postage | Sent to Germany. |
In short: Germany is all set. Austria, add postage and send to Vienna. Switzerland, add postage, special bag, send to Germany. Rest of Europe, add postage and send to Germany.
Family and partner diagnostics
Testing together shows connections that a single analysis does not make visible. We need three things for that.

Reimbursement by private health insurance
This is how it works with us if your private insurance may reimburse you:
Many private insurers cover the cost in full or in part – some not at all. That depends entirely on your policy. We support you through the process as best we can.
