The longevity blood panel at Longevity Center Nürnberg goes far beyond a standard blood count, covering metabolism and insulin sensitivity, inflammation and regeneration markers, full hormone axis analysis (testosterone, oestrogen, thyroid, cortisol), micronutrient status (vitamins, minerals, trace elements), cardiovascular risk profiling, mitochondrial function markers and optional epigenetic aging assessments, microbiome analysis and liquid biopsy.
Comprehensive blood biomarker testing at Longevity Center Nürnberg is designed to go 'weit über das klassische Blutbild hinaus' — far beyond what a standard GP blood test covers. Developed by Dr. med. Thomas Voit and Dr. med. Markus Wohlgefahrt, the panel is structured around the key biological systems that determine longevity and healthspan, providing a multidimensional picture of the patient's current physiological status. Metabolic and insulin sensitivity markers assess glucose regulation, HbA1c, fasting insulin and HOMA-IR — early indicators of metabolic dysfunction that often precede type 2 diabetes by years. Inflammatory and regeneration markers include high-sensitivity CRP, interleukins and markers of oxidative stress, revealing the presence of chronic low-grade inflammation — a root driver of most age-related disease. The hormone axis panel measures testosterone, oestrogen, thyroid hormones (TSH, fT3, fT4), cortisol and DHEA-S, providing a full picture of the hormonal environment that governs energy, mood, body composition and immune function. Micronutrient status covers key vitamins (B12, D3, folate), minerals (magnesium, zinc, selenium) and trace elements that feed enzymatic processes throughout the body. Cardiovascular risk profiling goes beyond LDL to include ApoB, Lp(a), homocysteine and oxidised LDL — the markers that predict cardiovascular events in metabolically healthy-appearing individuals. Optional add-ons include epigenetic aging assessments (DNA methylation biological age), gut microbiome analysis and liquid biopsy for early cancer signal detection. All results are reviewed by the physician team in a follow-up consultation that translates findings into targeted intervention recommendations. Located in Nuremberg, Bavaria, this private clinic serves patients from across Germany and international health tourists seeking precise, physician-interpreted diagnostic data as the foundation of a personalised longevity protocol.

What's Included
Biomarkers Tested
10The primary stress hormone, produced by the adrenal glands. Cortisol regulates metabolism, immune response, blood pressure, and the sleep-wake cycle. Chronically elevated cortisol from stress contributes to weight gain, immune suppression, and metabolic dysfunction.
Precursor to other hormones
The primary iron storage protein. Ferritin reflects total body iron stores and is the first marker to drop in iron deficiency. However, ferritin also rises with inflammation, infection, and liver disease, which can mask true iron deficiency.
Blood sugar — the body's primary energy source. Fasting glucose screens for diabetes and prediabetes. Chronically elevated glucose damages blood vessels and organs. Levels fluctuate with meals, stress, and physical activity.
An amino acid produced during protein metabolism. Elevated homocysteine is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease, stroke, and cognitive decline. Levels are lowered by adequate B12, folate, and B6 intake.
Involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions including energy production, muscle function, and nerve signaling. Magnesium deficiency is common and associated with muscle cramps, anxiety, insomnia, and increased cardiovascular risk.
A trace mineral crucial for thyroid hormone metabolism, antioxidant defense (via selenoproteins), and immune function. Selenium deficiency can impair thyroid function and increase susceptibility to viral infections.
The most common type of fat in the body, stored for energy. Elevated triglycerides — often from excess sugar, alcohol, or calories — increase cardiovascular risk and can cause pancreatitis at very high levels.
Essential for nerve function, DNA synthesis, and red blood cell formation. B12 deficiency can cause anemia, neuropathy, fatigue, and cognitive impairment. Common in vegans, vegetarians, older adults, and those taking metformin or acid-reducing medications.
An essential trace mineral involved in immune function, wound healing, DNA synthesis, and testosterone production. Zinc deficiency impairs immune response, delays wound healing, and can cause hair loss and taste changes.
