In our lead article on hormone loss, Dr. Mike Bauerschmidt recommends determination of hormone levels as an essential part of aging assessment. Other tests for the assessment of aging include:
- Vitamin B12: Increases the length of telomeres
- Vitamins C and E: Reduces the shortening of telomeres
- Iron: Elevated iron can indicate shortened telomeres
- Blood glucose: Detects agerelated glycation end products, substances that can be a factor in the development or worsening of many diseases
- Hemoglobin A1C: Detects agerelated glycation end products, substances that can be a factor in the development or worsening of many diseases
- Coenzyme Q10: Reduces with age
- Glutathione (GSH): Essential antioxidant
