What is the Longevity Foundation Panel?

The Longevity Foundation Panel is a comprehensive preventive blood test designed to evaluate the most important biological systems associated with long-term health, disease prevention and healthy ageing. It combines a wide range of biomarkers that analyse organ function, cardiovascular health, metabolism, hormones, nutrients, inflammation and immune activity.

This panel measures markers across multiple clinical categories including haematology, kidney and liver function, metabolic health, lipid profiles, hormonal balance, thyroid function, vitamins, minerals, inflammation and tumour markers. By analysing these biomarkers together, clinicians gain a broad overview of physiological function and potential early health risks.

The goal of the Longevity Foundation Panel is to detect subtle changes in the body before symptoms develop. Many chronic conditions such as cardiovascular disease, insulin resistance, hormonal imbalance and inflammatory disorders can develop silently for years. This panel provides an early warning system that allows individuals to optimise their health through preventive strategies and personalised lifestyle changes.

Why do I need a Longevity Foundation Panel?

Many people only test their health when symptoms appear, but by that point physiological imbalances may have been developing for years. The Longevity Foundation Panel focuses on preventive health by analysing biomarkers linked with ageing, metabolic health, cardiovascular risk and hormonal balance.

The panel evaluates key systems including:

• Blood cell health and oxygen transport

• Kidney filtration and electrolyte balance

• Liver metabolism and detoxification

• Cardiovascular risk markers

• Hormonal and endocrine function

• Thyroid health and autoimmune activity

• Nutritional and micronutrient status

• Inflammatory and immune responses

• Longevity and ageing biomarkers

• Early tumour marker screening

This type of comprehensive testing is particularly useful for individuals interested in optimising long-term health, identifying early disease risk and improving biological ageing outcomes.

Symptoms or health concerns that may prompt someone to consider this test include:

• Persistent fatigue or low energy

• Brain fog or poor concentration

• Hormonal imbalance symptoms

• Unexplained weight changes

• Reduced exercise recovery

• Sleep disturbances

• Chronic inflammation

• Metabolic issues or insulin resistance

• Nutritional deficiencies

• Family history of cardiovascular disease

• Interest in preventive medicine or longevity optimisation

Even individuals without symptoms may benefit from establishing a baseline health profile to monitor long-term biological changes.

Benefits of the Longevity Foundation Panel

1. Comprehensive multi-system health analysis
The test evaluates dozens of biomarkers across multiple physiological systems, offering a broad picture of internal health.

2. Early detection of metabolic dysfunction
Markers such as glucose, insulin and HbA1c help identify insulin resistance and metabolic risk before diabetes develops.

3. Cardiovascular risk assessment
Advanced lipid markers including ApoB, ApoA1 and Lipoprotein(a) provide deeper insight into heart disease risk.

4. Hormonal health evaluation
The panel measures sex hormones, adrenal hormones and thyroid hormones that influence metabolism, mood and energy.

5. Nutritional and micronutrient analysis
Key nutrients such as Vitamin D, B12, magnesium, zinc and copper are assessed to detect deficiencies affecting health.

6. Inflammation monitoring
Inflammatory markers such as hs-CRP and ESR help identify chronic low-grade inflammation linked to ageing and disease.

7. Organ function evaluation
Kidney and liver biomarkers help assess detoxification capacity and metabolic health.

8. Longevity and ageing insights
Markers such as homocysteine and IGF-1 provide additional information about cardiovascular health and biological ageing processes.

Your Results Explained

Low Levels

Low biomarker levels may indicate nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalance, immune dysfunction or organ stress.

Examples of common low results include:

• Haemoglobin: below ~120 g/L in women or 130 g/L in men may suggest anaemia.

• Vitamin D: deficiency often below 25 nmol/L.

• Vitamin B12: below ~148 pmol/L may affect neurological function.

• Testosterone (men): low levels typically below ~8–10 nmol/L.

• Ferritin: low levels may indicate depleted iron stores.

Low results may be associated with symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, low immunity, reduced cognitive function and hormonal symptoms.

Normal Levels

Normal biomarker values indicate that tested systems are functioning within expected physiological ranges.

Typical UK reference examples include:

• HbA1c: below 42 mmol/mol

• TSH: approximately 0.4 – 4.0 mIU/L

• eGFR: above 90 mL/min/1.73m²

• LDL Cholesterol: ideally below 3 mmol/L

• CRP: below 3 mg/L

Maintaining biomarkers within optimal ranges supports metabolic health, cardiovascular function and healthy ageing.

High Levels

Elevated biomarker levels may indicate inflammation, metabolic stress, organ dysfunction or increased disease risk.

Examples include:

• hs-CRP: above 3 mg/L may indicate increased inflammation or cardiovascular risk.

• ALT or AST: elevated levels may indicate liver inflammation or metabolic stress.

• Homocysteine: levels above ~15 µmol/L may increase cardiovascular risk.

• LDL cholesterol: levels above ~4 mmol/L may increase heart disease risk.

• PSA: values above ~4 ng/mL may require further investigation in men.

High results do not automatically indicate disease but suggest that further clinical evaluation or lifestyle changes may be beneficial.
