Longevity Blood Test Panel Guide
Humanic Blue’s Longevity365 guide: Some blood-test packages are recurring memberships; others are single purchases. The meaningful differences include the markers tested, how samples are collected and who helps interpret an unexpected result.
Explore the productsFor readers interested in living longer and better, the first distinction is what a test measures and what its software calculates from the sample.
01 / Our approach
How did we evaluate these products and services?
We compared company-described samples, report contents, membership requirements and availability. An age estimate, a laboratory measurement and a diagnosis answer different questions.
What Blood Tests Should I Get for Longevity?: evidence and sources02 / The takeaways
What did the source evidence show?
- Function packages testing across a year; InsideTracker’s Ultimate purchase requires membership.
- Quest and Labcorp sell distinct direct-pay panels, rather than one universal comprehensive test.
- A larger panel can return more findings to interpret. Its size does not establish a benefit for living longer.
Which question does each added test answer?

The matrix compares sample collection and the kind of information returned; it does not rank clinical value.
Product 01 / 05
Function Health membership
Service formatRecurring testing membership
Function describes more than 160 tests in total across a year, with testing twice a year. Its offer spans cardiovascular, metabolic, thyroid, hormone and inflammation markers, alongside online explanations.
This does not mean every marker is tested twice. Collection uses Quest or eligible professional home draws. The company excludes New York and New Jersey; imaging and other add-ons are separate.
Product 02 / 05
InsideTracker Ultimate
Service formatMembership-exclusive blood panel
InsideTracker describes testing across ten healthspan categories, including cholesterol-related markers, glucose, HbA1c, inflammation, vitamin D and several nutrient and hormone markers. The service supplies web or app results and an action plan.
Collection is at Quest or through eligible professional mobile collection. Active membership is required; some markers vary by sex or country, and additional hormone tests can cost extra.
Product 03 / 05
Quest Comprehensive Health Profile — Men’s edition
Service formatDirect-pay blood and urine panel
Quest describes this Comprehensive edition as including blood counts, blood chemistry, cholesterol, urine testing, HbA1c, vitamin D, an inflammation marker and testosterone. Collection and biometrics involve a professional appointment, with online results and independent clinician discussion.
Quest’s Basic, Comprehensive and Elite tiers differ. This link identifies the Men’s Comprehensive edition; the Women’s edition has different thyroid or hormone contents. The old Standard link now leads to Elite, a different tier.
Product 04 / 05
Labcorp OnDemand Comprehensive Health Test
Service formatDirect-pay in-person collection
Labcorp describes a broad general-health panel including cholesterol, triglycerides and HbA1c, a measure of longer-term blood glucose. Blood and urine are collected in person, with results returned online.
The listed purchaser is the person being tested, within the company’s adult eligibility rules. This package differs from Labcorp’s standalone vitamin D test.
Product 05 / 05
Life Extension Male Panel / Female Panel
Service formatTwo distinct blood-panel packages
Life Extension lists blood counts, chemistry and cholesterol, ferritin, cortisol and several sex-hormone measurements in these packages. The Male Panel adds PSA, a prostate-related marker; the Female Panel includes progesterone.
These exact QD322582 and QD322535 offerings use professional Quest collection. They differ from the company’s Elite panels. The package labels do not mean every included test is appropriate for every person.
Who would explain an unexpected result and arrange any follow-up?
