What does this TruAge biological age test help me with?
The TruAge Complete measures your actual, biological age based on the age of your cells and tissues, which may not align with your calendar age. This test gives you valuable insights into your overall health and can help predict the risk of age-related diseases. Tracking your biological age over time allows you to bring some objectivity as to how your lifestyle changes, supplementation, and other health efforts are actually affecting your health.
Epigenetics looks not at the genes themselves, but changes in the gene activity. Epigenetic changes are shaped by factors like diet & lifestyle, environment, and age. Understanding what is playing out epigenetically helps show how external influences impact our genes, disease processes, and overall wellbeing.
With comprehensive interpretation from one of our functional medicine practitioners, this test helps you determine if your current health efforts are on the right track, or if adjustments are needed to promote healthy ageing.

Why we recommend this biological age test over others
There are many biological age tests on the market and vary from very cheap to premium. We choose TruDiagnosic tests that use the most advanced methodology, algorithms, and optimal tissue sample – blood.
Lower-cost tests often use outdated methods, limited approaches, or saliva samples. Blood offers the highest accuracy due to its unique molecular signature, providing more precise results than other tissues. It includes control features like cell deconvolution methods, which identify the percentages of different cell types, ensuring accurate tissue type control. Additionally, blood is the standard tissue used in research, facilitating compatibility with new algorithms as the data consistently originates from blood samples.
Furthermore, blood DNA is more stable than salivary DNA. Factors like smoking can significantly affect saliva DNA methylation, whereas blood provides a more reliable basis for epigenetic analysis.
If you’re keen to compare and ensure you’re getting the best use of your money, have a look at this open letter to the scientific community, longevity clinicians, and informed consumers.

Frequently
Asked
Questions
How do I order a TruAge Complete test kit?
Contact us so we can ensure this is the right test for you, then we’ll set you up as a patient, order and despatch your TruAge Complete test to your nominated address. You’ll follow the instructions to take your sample and post back
We’ll let you know once your TruAge results are back, to make sense of the report, we recommend a Test Interpretation Session.
Is this test for me?
This test is for you if:
- You are just starting to track your biological age
- You would like to know how old you really are at a cellular level, and how fast or slow you are currently ageing
- You consider yourself a health optimiser and have goals to live a long, healthy life
- You feel that having this information will be highly motivating for you to make healthy lifestyle changes
- You are over the age of 18
- And is particularly useful for all adults over the age of 30. For those in middle age or older, biological age testing can be particularly useful for assessing health risks and making informed decisions about lifestyle changes to potentially slow the ageing process
- You are willing and able to commit to making lifestyle changes if necessary to improve your biological age
Does it include telomere testing?
Yes, the TruAge Complete test includes your current telomere length and maps it against averages for your (chronological) age and gender. You can access this test for telomere testing in Australia.
How do I take a sample for the TruAge?
This test requires a blood sample. Your sample can be taken conveniently in your own home. A lancet is provided to obtain your blood sample via finger prick.
How long do TruAge Complete test results take to come back?
Results for the TruAge Complete are usually back within 5-6 weeks of the lab receiving the test sample. We’ll notify you when your results are back.
Can I retest my biological age?
Yes! We often suggest retesting to assess whether the interventions you’ve implemented have shifted your biological age and pace of ageing in a favourable direction. Rather than order the TruAge Complete test, you can order the TruAge PACE test.
Can this test tell me my chronological age?
No. A TruAge Complete test will not tell you your chronological age.
Where can I get a biological age test in Australia?
If you are looking for the best biological age test in Australia, Melbourne Functional Medicine can help. We provide access to the TruAge biological age test and will organise a TruDiagnostic test kit to be delivered directly to your door. Once your results are ready, our experienced team will contact you to arrange a personalised, 60 minute, interpretation appointment. Payable in addition to the test kit.
Anyone can order a biological age test, but Melbourne Functional Medicine offers a highly experienced, Australian-based team who have reviewed hundreds of biological age reports. You can meet our team in person or online, and we help you understand your results, what they mean for your health, and how to take action to improve your biological age.
