Discover your molecular self
What can you expect?
This test allows you to get an objective assessment of your current lifestyle based on molecular data. By analyzing all the proteins in your sample, we look at a wide range of biochemical processes. This comprehensive view of your "molecular self" allows us to make personalized recommendations for a healthier life.
How well do you know yourself? In addition to the test, we ask you to complete a questionnaire to assess your self-perception of different environmental influences. The test then compares your own view with the molecular measurements.
Although almost two thirds of Germans feel healthy and rate their state of health as good or even very good, only 17 percent achieve all the benchmarks for an all-round healthy life in all five areas of life: physical activity, nutrition, smoking, alcohol and stress perception.
This means that they get enough exercise, eat a balanced diet, avoid nicotine and alcohol and are able to manage their stress levels well. Although this means that more people are living an all-round healthy life again compared to 2021 (2021: 11%), the level remains low. Women are ahead: while one in five women (20%) meet all benchmarks, only one in seven men (14%) do so.
At the same time, a major difference between self-perception and external perception becomes apparent. The proteomics test is designed to help with this and provide targeted guidance on how to achieve healthy benchmarks.

Why should you take the test?
The proteins in your cells are a reflection of the biochemical processes in your body. Depending on how you eat, move or feel, the totality of your proteins changes - it is a new molecular indicator of your lifestyle, i.e. the way you live your life.
We often only realize years later that we are not doing our molecular self any good with certain habits. This is because we don't always know how our current lifestyle is affecting our own biology. This is exactly where our proteomics test comes in.
Based on a cheek swab, we obtain cells from which we can determine thousands of proteins. The result is an objective and comprehensive analysis, as well as suggestions on how you can develop your proteome towards a healthier profile.
The why.
What is the proteome?
The entirety of our proteins.
The proteome can be thought of as a person's complete wardrobe for every conceivable situation. Each garment (protein) has its specific purpose, be it for different weather conditions, occasions or activities. Some parts are worn daily (essential proteins), while others are only taken out of the cupboard for special events (proteins that are active in certain cell states or developmental phases).
This wardrobe is alive and adapts quickly and constantly to new conditions by adding, sorting out or modifying outfits, similar to how the body produces, breaks down or changes in function proteins to respond to internal and external signals. The diversity and complexity of the proteome in an organism reflects the breadth of its biological functions and adaptive abilities. The study of the proteome allows us to understand the functional networks that control health and disease by studying the "garments" used in the different "life situations" of an organism.

How 'loud' are your genes?
Epigenetics is, in a way , like adjusting volume controls for the genes in our DNA. It works without changing the DNA itself. Instead, epigenetic mechanisms can determine which genes are "loud" (active) or "quiet" (inactive). These attitudes are influenced by a variety of factors, including diet, stress, physical activity, and environmental conditions.
They can modify the function of our genes in significant ways , thus influencing our health, behavior, and susceptibility to disease. Notably, some of these epigenetic markers are stable enough to be passed on from one generation to the next, meaning that our ancestors' way of life can shape our own genetic expression.

What your results will look like
Our proteomics test provides you with precise insights into your health and lifestyle by analyzing all proteins in a cheek swab sample. After advanced mass spectrometric analysis and bioinformatic evaluation, we present you with results as lifestyle-related scores in the areas of sport and nutrition. Your own assessment (questionnaire) is also compared with your actual molecular situation.
You can also expect a special evaluation on detoxification, ageing, fatty acid metabolism and more. Based on your values, you will then receive individual recommendations for positive changes to your everyday life and suitable micronutrients.

🔬 General
This test is a so-called proteomics test and is based on the analysis of all proteins in a sample. The proteins used for analysis are extracted from buccal swab cells and prepared for mass spectrometric measurement using optimized and automated procedures. The subsequent measurement is carried out on a mass spectrometer, whereby several quality control measurements are also performed.
Proprietary bioinformatic algorithms are used for biological classification and functional analysis of proteomic data. Results are reported to our clients as scores associated with functional lifestyle categories. Each score we look at reflects the structure and connections of molecular pathways, as well as the quality of evidence from scientific publications. This evidence is carefully hand-selected by experts in applied science and molecular biology.
This test provides you with an objective assessment of your current lifestyle based on your molecular characteristics. As a result, the result provides you with individual recommendations and well-founded instructions on how to live healthier.
Based on the analysis of all proteins in your sample, a variety of biochemical processes are analyzed and you get a comprehensive analysis of your molecular self. With this information and the personalized instructions for action, a variety of longevity goals can be pursued with just one test.
Your proteome (the totality of all proteins) is constantly changing. If you put a finishing touch on your lifestyle, you can expect particularly rapid changes. This can be within two to four weeks of lifestyle adaptation. Therefore, it only makes sense to do the test again after this period in order to actually confirm the effect. In principle, we recommend a quarterly repetition of the test in order to make progress sufficiently visible!
The Molecular Profile Test offers a sophisticated analysis of molecular processes that play an important role in the health of the human body. In contrast to existing age tests, it offers a broad molecular classification in the categories of sport and nutrition.
Based on the results, you will receive individual recommendations on how you can personally improve in these categories. At the same time, the test gives you a deep insight into your own body and describes the biochemical processes that take place there. With this knowledge, the test enables you to lead a healthy life and a balanced lifestyle.
Our current data and evaluations are based on studies of adults. For this reason, we do not recommend use in children.
All of our customers' data is triple secured. First of all, our customers are anonymous to us in the database. Each customer is given a unique ID number. Only with this code can the customer activate his data and view it in his account. Second, all customer data is encrypted throughout data transmission. So if someone were to collect our data, it would be both anonymous and encrypted. Third, we store our customers' data on our secure AWS servers. And finally, we work in full compliance with European data protection regulations (GDPR).
🧪 Performance
Please carry out the test according to the instructions in the online portal. An insufficient or contaminated sample can cause your test to fail or be falsified.
We recommend that you take the test in the morning before breakfast and return the test to the test lab the same day by return envelope. If you test yourself later in the day, please note that you do not eat anything for an hour before sampling and only drink water.
Ideally, you should take the test in the morning before breakfast . At this point, you don't have to wait until you can take the test for a previous meal or coffee/tea. In addition, you can then send the test back on the same day. And in addition, the epithelial cells of the oral mucosa have experienced the least stimuli at this point in time and enable a meaningful sample.
Please do not take the test until you feel fully recovered and healthy. Even protracted colds or other illnesses can affect the test and lead to different results.
In fact, there are molecules that are related to your current physical condition and are therefore also influenced by pregnancy or the subsequent period. We take these characteristics into account in our data analysis. However, this data is not included in our reports and is not used for any other purpose.
So far, we do not have any reliable data on this and are still in an in-house research and development stage. As soon as we have reliable evidence on this, we will publish these results and make them available to the scientific community, as well as communicate them to our customers.
📦 Return
If you would like to send your sample from Switzerland to us, please note that the shipment does not need to be cleared through customs. You don't sell your saliva sample to us, but use a service that has already been paid for. This is very important for a smooth process!
We recommend that you send the sample to the test laboratory as soon as possible. If this is not possible for you, keep the sample at room temperature and try to allow for a prompt return.
We have examined samples stored for different lengths of time and can assure you that the return journey will not have a significant impact on the results of your sample. Nevertheless, we would like to keep the transportation route as short as possible and therefore recommend that you return the sample as quickly as possible.
If your sample is lost in transit, we will be happy to send you a replacement kit free of charge. If you suspect that your sample has never arrived, please contact us as soon as possible.
This may be the case if you haven't heard from us within 4 weeks of returning your sample. In case of more than 2 lost samples, we can ask you for an alternative address to send the replacement kit to.
🧾 Test Result / Result
It takes 3-4 weeks for us to provide you with your test results. During this time, your sample is processed using molecular biology and measured on a mass spectrometer. The measured data is processed using internal algorithms and converted into an individual results report. We need the appropriate time for these steps and the associated scientific tasks.
If you have not received any results or feedback from us 4 weeks after sending the sample, you can contact support@moleqlar.zendesk.com.
We try to present the data as intuitively as possible and provide you with an assessment and basis for evaluation in many places. If you have any further questions, please contact support@moleqlar.zendesk.com. We also welcome your feedback and suggestions. We are constantly striving to develop the test further.
