Unravel the secret of your biological age.
With proper management, it is possible to reverse your biological age. Check your current biological age through the Epi-Clock service and actively manage the aging process.
What is Epi-Clock
Epi-Clock is a product designed to aid in understanding the aging process of individuals, particularly by analyzing biological age using DNA methylation. DNA methylation is similar to adding specific chemical signals to our DNA. When these signals are added, certain genes cease to function, and when removed, those genes become activated. An intriguing aspect is how genes associated with aging can be influenced by these modifications. If methylation occurs on genes that accelerate aging, it may slow down the aging process, whereas methylation on genes that decelerate aging could accelerate it.
At birth, we inherit our DNA methylation from our parents, but factors such as the environment can cause changes in methylation, so maintaining a healthy lifestyle and diet can help prevent changes in healthy methylation status. Regularly checking for these changes with the Epi-Clock test is a way to help you actively manage the aging process.
Reverse Aging
No one can stop the flow of time. However, if you take care of it on a regular basis, you can maintain a healthy body even as you age.
At Epi Clock
We recommend diet, exercise, and lifestyle habits that help prevent aging, as well as ways to manage stress that affects aging. Take control of your health and achieve a healthy future.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the primary purpose of Epi-Clock, and how does it work to analyze biological age?
A: Epi-Clock is utilized to analyze an individual’s biological age and its changes based on epigenetic modifications, specifically through the analysis of DNA methylation. Epi-Clock provides information on an individual’s biological age by examining the levels of changes in DNA methylation.
Q: How accurate is Epi-Clock in determining biological age, and what factors can influence its results?
A: Epi-Clock can accurately determine biological age through the analysis of DNA methylation, with high reproducibility and accuracy compared to traditional methods. However, results may be influenced by factors such as lifestyle, diet, and other environmental factors indirectly affecting methylation changes.
Q: Can Epi-Clock be used as a preventive tool, and how does it assist in managing the aging process proactively?
A: Epi-Clock can serve as a preventive tool by monitoring changes in DNA methylation. Understanding the changes in biological age based on methylation allows for proactive management of the aging process through efforts such as lifestyle changes and dietary adjustments.
Q: What role does DNA methylation play in the aging process, and how does Epi-Clock differentiate between genes that accelerate and decelerate aging?
A: DNA methylation regulates gene activity and influences the aging process. Epi-Clock identifies genes associated with aging, distinguishing whether methylation accelerates or decelerates the aging of specific genes. For instance, methylation of genes can slow down aging, while demethylation may accelerate the process. These methylation changes are influenced by environmental factors, genetic factors, and lifestyle habits.
Q: How frequently should Epi-Clock testing be done, and what are the potential benefits of regular monitoring?
A: The frequency of Epi-Clock testing may vary depending on the situation, but regular monitoring is recommended. Regular monitoring allows for early detection of methylation changes, enabling proactive management to potentially slow down the aging process.
