Biological age test in Marbella
Long Life Clinic in Marbella offers the epiAge test — a biological age test based on DNA methylation analysis. Available in Marbella and throughout Spain, with the epigenetic results interpreted in consultation with Dr. Jean Garant at our clinic.
Methylation
What is the epiAge Test?
Your birth date doesn't tell the whole story. Two 50-year-olds can have bodies that function as if they were 40 or 60.
The epiAge test uses the epigenetic clock to compare your biological age with your chronological age. As one of the few clinics offering this advanced test in Marbella, we help you understand whether you're aging fast or slow — and repeat it later to compare.
DNA Methylation Analysis
Based on the "epigenetic clock," a measure of biological aging.
Simple and Non-Invasive
You only need a small saliva sample that you can collect comfortably at home.
What It Measures
Your biological age can be measured again later to compare.
How Does It Work?
A simple 4-step process to discover your real biological age.

Ask About epiAge TestWhy Does Your Biological Age Matter?
Your DNA methylation status begins to decline in early adulthood. An inadequate lifestyle and deficiency of certain nutrients can accelerate this process, affecting your well-being and life expectancy.
Knowing your biological age allows you to:
- Detect accelerated aging before symptoms appear
- Adjust your longevity plan based on real data, not guesswork
- Measure the impact of lifestyle changes
- Make informed decisions about your long-term health

More Angles on Aging: Telomere Length & Mitochondrial Stress
TELCRI measures telomere length — the protective caps at the end of your chromosomes that shorten with cellular replication and stress. GDF-15 is a blood marker of mitochondrial stress and one of the more consistently studied blood-based aging signals in current research. Both look at different biological signals than DNA methylation, so some patients choose to run one or both alongside epiAge for a fuller picture of cellular aging.
epiAge — DNA Methylation
- • Measures epigenetic markers across the genome
- • One of the most studied biological age clocks
- • Saliva sample, home collection
TELCRI — Telomere Length
- • Measures telomere length, a marker of cellular replicative aging
- • Complementary signal to DNA methylation
- • Blood sample, drawn at the clinic
GDF-15 — Mitochondrial Stress
- • Measures GDF-15, a marker of mitochondrial stress
- • One of the stronger blood-based aging signals studied to date
- • Blood sample, drawn at the clinic
Common Questions
Who is the epiAge test for? +
Anyone who wants to know if their body is aging faster or slower than their birth date suggests. It's particularly useful if you're over 35 and want a baseline, or if you've made significant lifestyle changes and want to measure their impact objectively.
How accurate is DNA methylation testing? +
The epigenetic clock is one of the most studied biological age markers in current aging research. Several peer-reviewed studies have found associations between epigenetic age acceleration and health outcomes including mortality risk. The epiAge algorithm has been validated across multiple research cohorts, though individual results may vary and this test is not a diagnostic tool.
Can biological age change? +
Epigenetic marks can change over time. Some patients repeat the test after 12 months to compare.
What happens after I receive my results? +
Results are reviewed in a medical consultation. Dr. Garant reviews your biological age, explains what's driving it, and provides specific recommendations — lifestyle, supplementation, further tests if indicated. You leave with a concrete plan, not just a number.
