Been inactive for a long time; my mum has been taking TA-65 for about 3 years and wants to get her telomeres measured. We tried using Teloyears, but they havent gotten our results back after 3 months and are unresponsive to phone / email.

 

Any of you folks have experience with a good place to get it measured?

Life Length are the best, but you need to go get a blood draw.

Think you can still get a Lifelength test but you have to go through a clinic. There aren't many around so its quite inconvenient.

The main alternative, Teloyears aren't testing telomeres now because of covid. Hopefully they'll restart.

Lifelength aren't doing anything in the UK right now - they don't accept samples from individuals anymore (because of Brexit - wtf?), and list only 2 in-country clinics, one of which is defunct and one charges a stupid amount of money for the test along with an (unwanted) consultation.

 

All in all very disappointing; looks like there are no good options for telomere tests available at the moment.
