Quality versus quantity of life. If you had to choose one, which one would you choose? When it comes to living and aging well, Tally Health believes you shouldn’t have to choose. Their mission is to help you live healthier, and thus longer, thanks in part to their science-backed supplements. They focus beyond pills by helping you get a peek at just how your DNA and epigenetics will play a role in your aging process and experience. Within a year of using their products, over 62% of Tally Health members lowered their epigenetic age by an average of more than two years (Tally Health). Now, you may be wondering: What is epigenetic age? Glad you asked. Let’s dive in.

Epigenetic Age: The True Number Worth Measuring

In the simplest of terms, you can think of your genes like a light switch. Based on the environment you’re in and the behaviors you partake in, that switch can turn “on” or “off”. Epigenetics encompasses factors that affect the functions of our genes. 

Our epigenome—the collection of chemical changes to our DNA that tells it when, where, and how to be expressed (“Epigenome”)— “is affected by our environment and experiences over time, similar to how rings on the inside of a tree can tell us the tree’s age and mark where it had encountered damage or stress” (“The epigenetics of aging”). Because of the depth of information epigenetics hones in on, it can be a better predictor of life expectancy and offer insights into biological age (i.e. the age of our cells) rather than chronological age (i.e., the number of birthdays you’ve celebrated).

One of the National Institute on Aging’s news and events articles titled “The epigenetics of aging: What the body’s hands of time tell us” highlighted the importance of measuring cellular age and how the discovery of age-related epigenetic changes factors into understanding our internal aging. By honing in on the body’s natural epigenetic process, known as DNA methylation, and studying the changes and patterns, Steve Horvath, Ph.D., Sc.D., invented one of the first epigenetic clocks, a molecular clock that estimates the age of human tissues. Tally Health’s epigenetic aging clock, the TallyAge™ Test, measures the molecular changes that occur at select DNA methylation sites to predict your epigenetic age. With just a simple, non-invasive, painless swab you can access internal insights and take action to slow the aging process. 

Support Your Health Span With Science-Backed Supplements

Aging is a complex process resulting from a whole host of molecular, cellular, and physiological changes. As we age, the changes our DNA experiences make us less resilient to repairing damage and responding to stress. Tally Health’s five supplements are formulated to promote full-body longevity by targeting key systems and functions, slowing aging from the inside out. 

• Vitality: A healthy aging supplement designed to safely target the hallmarks of aging and promote a longer health span
• Restore: Along with supporting healthy aging, this supplement is designed to target sleep, helping you to fall asleep faster, sleep deeper, and wake up feeling refreshed
• Defend: Our immune system is our main defender, and Tally Health’s Defend supplement is formulated to promote a healthy, vibrant immune system while also targeting immune-related aging hallmarks
• Amplify: Targeting metabolic health and energy, Amplify is designed to boost mitochondrial health, mimic caloric restriction, and improve glucose metabolism
• Sharpen: Tally Health’s brain health supplement is designed to clear the mind, improve focus, and unlock better memory

Not only are Tally Health’s supplements formulated by Ph.D. scientists, but they also use premium-quality, lab-tested ingredients; are backed by peer-reviewed research; and are third-party safety certified. Bottom line: If an ingredient is not backed by peer-reviewed data, documented to be safe and well-tolerated, and shown to target key hallmarks of aging, then it’s not included in their supplement blends. 

Begin Your Longevity Journey With Tally Health

Tally Health puts consumers first and science above all. Science is the backbone of their company and mission: to bring decades of longevity science to all and implement proven aging interventions to promote not only health span but lifespan too. To stay abreast of the most recent longevity research, Tally Health is also directly involved in the research process. They bust aging myths and actively contribute to the growing body of research on aging, epigenetic aging clocks, biological age, and more. 

Whether you take advantage of the TallyAge™ Test or choose to integrate some or all of their supplements into your daily routine, Tally Health is here to help you start your longevity journey to live a life of quality and quantity too. Use code “AGEIST” for 20% off your first month here.
