At BioHealth by Anne Swart Clinic, we offer a focused range of blood-based assessments designed to provide insight into key aspects of cellular health and healthy ageing: telomere length, NAD+ status, and oxidative stress. These measurements can help establish a personalised baseline and inform an individualised wellbeing and longevity strategy.
Telomere Length Testing
Telomeres are protective structures at the ends of chromosomes. They help maintain DNA stability when cells divide. Telomeres naturally shorten over time; their length is therefore associated with cellular ageing and long-term cellular resilience.
Our telomere length assessment offers a personalised perspective on how well your body may be maintaining and protecting its DNA. Results can be reviewed alongside your health history, lifestyle and other relevant biomarkers to support a targeted plan for healthy ageing.
NAD+ Blood Measurement
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme present in every cell. It has an important role in cellular energy production, DNA-repair processes and metabolic function. NAD+ levels can change with age, stress and lifestyle factors.
Measuring NAD+ in the blood provides a clearer view of your current NAD+ status. Where appropriate, we can discuss a tailored support protocol, which may include NAD+ microdosing or clinic-based intravenous therapy. All recommendations are based on an individual clinical assessment and your personal health objectives.
Oxidative Stress Testing
Oxidative stress describes an imbalance between reactive molecules, often called free radicals, and the body’s antioxidant defences. While these processes are part of normal metabolism, excessive or persistent oxidative stress can contribute to cellular wear and may affect DNA, proteins and cell membranes.
Our blood testing measures markers of oxidative stress and helps identify whether your antioxidant defences are keeping pace with the demands on your body. If elevated oxidative stress is identified, we can recommend personalised clinical and lifestyle strategies intended to support antioxidant capacity, recovery and cellular protection.
A Personalised Interpretation
These tests are not diagnostic in isolation. At BioHealth by Anne Swart Clinic, results are interpreted in the context of your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle, medication and other relevant laboratory markers. This allows for a considered, personalised approach to supporting long-term health and wellbeing.
Please book a wellbeing consultation to discuss whether cellular health testing is appropriate for you.
