Plasmalogens, Aging, & Chronic Diseases

The Most Advanced Longevity Test

Discover your plasmalogen levels and uncover your risk for chronic illness.

Plasmalogens protect the membranes of our cells from inflammation. When our cells are operating inefficiently, they produce inflammation — triggering a cascade of problems that result in chronic medical conditions.

This advanced biomarker test looks at various biomarkers critical for optimal health. Dysfunctional levels are scientifically linked to increased risk of diseases including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.

You do not need to be fasting for these labs. 

The Prodrome Test Uncovers

Your Levels of Plasmalogens
Decades of data show that low plasmalogen levels have severe health effects and that plasmalogen supplementation has positive health effects.
Your Risk for Chronic Conditions like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, or Cancer
Low levels of plasmalogens are associated with Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.
Your Cellular Health: Key Biomarkers and Biochemical Systems
Other biomarkers include dietary fatty acids, gastrointestinal tract acids (GTAs), iron, mitochondrial function, inflammation, kidney function and more.

What Are Plasmalogens?

Plasmalogens are a unique class of membrane components with high concentrations in the brain and heart. They are an importnat part of nerve cells and help cells communication and function.
Several scientific studies show plasmalogen levels are low in people with neurodegenerative diseases including dementia, Parkinson’s, and multiple sclerosis. Plasmalogen levels are also low in pancreatic cancer, diabetes, and heart and stroke. Levels dramatically decrease after age 60.
Plasmalogens also have antioxidant properties – some plasmalogens contain oleic acid which is a mono-unsaturated fatty acid found in olive oil and some contain polyunsaturated fatty acids like docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) which is essential for health. DHA (an omega-3 found in fish oils) promotes cardiovascular health, is required for optimal brain function, is needed for cells to function, and is anti-inflammatory.
Plasmalogens play a crucial role in the cell as an endogenous antioxidant that protects the cell membrane components such as phospholipids, unsaturated fatty acids, and lipoproteins from oxidative stress
