ORDER
Order and referral check
Order your test. We review the order and check whether a referral or other information is required before the next step can begin.
TruDiagnostic
TruAge
TruAge analyses DNA methylation in a blood sample and uses algorithms to estimate biological-age measures. These are modelled estimates, which can differ from your chronological age.
About this test
About this test
TruAge analyses DNA methylation in a blood sample and uses algorithms to estimate biological-age measures. These are modelled estimates, which can differ from your chronological age.
What the test covers
The biological-age estimates and methylation measures included in your selected TruAge report. Different algorithms can produce different estimates.
Sample and collection
Blood collected using the supplier kit and its current instructions. Register the kit and complete the required questionnaire before returning it.
Before collection
Follow the preparation, timing and return instructions supplied for this test. Do not stop prescribed medicines unless your treating clinician advises it.
What you receive
OptiLabs emails your results report when it is ready. A consultation is not required to receive your report. A qualified health professional can help you interpret the findings.
Timing
7 to 10 business days after the laboratory receives your sample. Kit delivery, collection and sample transport are separate from laboratory processing.
Important information
The supplier describes this test as intended for research, educational and informational use. Biological-age estimates do not predict an individual lifespan or establish a medical condition.
Price and inclusions
The displayed price includes the test and your results report. You can order without booking a consultation. An optional results consultation costs $49, once per order when selected.

Your testing journey
From your order to your results.
Order and referral review, sample collection, laboratory analysis and discussing your report are separate stages. Your test’s processing estimate covers the laboratory stage.
ARRANGE
Your kit is posted
Once the required checks are complete, your collection kit is posted to you. Delivery time is additional to laboratory processing. Read all instructions before you start.
COMPLETE
Collect and return
Complete the sample collection at home and return it using the supplied instructions. Allow time for preparation, any timed collections and return postage.
RESULTS
Laboratory processing
Once the laboratory receives your sample, it completes the analysis and prepares your report. Discuss the findings with your practitioner alongside your symptoms and health history.
Preparing for this test
Read the instructions supplied for your exact test before collecting. Check food, drink, medicines, timing, storage and return requirements with your practitioner. Do not stop prescribed medicines without advice.
Does the estimate include postage?
No. The laboratory estimate does not include order review, referral checks, delivery to you, the time you take to collect, or transport back to the testing laboratory. These stages make up the full order-to-results journey.
Need results by a particular date?
Check with Evergreen before ordering so the referral requirements, collection timing, delivery and laboratory estimate can be considered together.

Practical questions about choosing, preparing for and reviewing this test.
Do I need a consultation or referral?
Requirements vary by test. Check the ordering options on this page and confirm any referral requirements with Evergreen. A laboratory’s practitioner-referral requirement is separate from whether you need to book an additional consultation.
Should I change medicines or supplements before testing?
Do not stop prescribed medicines on your own. Tell your practitioner what you take and follow the preparation instructions for this test. Timing, fasting and other requirements depend on the sample and markers being measured.
Does the test tell me what treatment I need?
A result is one part of an assessment. A qualified practitioner should interpret it alongside your symptoms, history and medicines. Check whether a results consultation is included in your purchase or needs to be booked separately.
How should I read the reference ranges?
Use the reference intervals and units on your own laboratory report. Ranges can vary with the method and patient factors. A result inside or outside a range does not establish a diagnosis on its own.
Who is the testing provider?
These tests are supplied through NutriPath, a medical laboratory founded in 2011 and based in Burwood, Victoria. NutriPath works through a practitioner-referral system.
When does the turnaround estimate start?
The laboratory estimate is not the time from placing your order. Allow time for referral checks, kit dispatch where needed, sample collection and transport before processing. The estimate varies by test, and specialist or overseas analysis can take longer.
Follow the estimate for your specific test. A quoted 3–5 business days does not include the whole ordering and collection journey.
Where do I find preparation and collection instructions?
Use the instructions supplied for your exact kit. Blood tests may require an arranged collection appointment; receiving a kit does not mean you should draw blood yourself. Saliva, urine, stool and breath tests each have different preparation requirements.
