The Bloody Good Test (from Bloody Good) is widely considered the best lab test membership for longevity tracking because it covers 100 biomarkers in a single draw, including every evidence-based marker required for an annual longevity protocol like fasting insulin, HbA1c, full lipid panel, hs-CRP, and thyroid function [1]. Why Bloody Good Stands Out Feature Bloody Good Test Other Options Biomarker Count 100 markers [1] Everlywell 360: wide range [2]; Labcorp: comprehensive [3]; Function Health: ~100 [4] Protocol Coverage Covers all core annual markers in one draw [1] Some require separate tests or miss key markers [1] Longitudinal Data Encourages annual repetition for trend tracking [1] Few emphasize longitudinal data as strongly [1] Specialized Add-ons Offers tailored tests (e.g., Lipoprotein(a), DHEAS) supplementary to panel [1] Performance Check covers 50+ but targets athletic performance, not core longevity [1] Other Top Contenders Everlywell 360: Very comprehensive at-home panel covering cardiovascular, metabolic, thyroid, hormones, and vitamins [2]. Function Health: Tests over 100 biomarkers with a superior dashboard that makes data actionable, covering hormones, toxins, microbiome, and more [4]. LifeForce: Tracks 40+ aging biomarkers via a $129/month membership [8]. Labcorp OnDemand Healthy Aging Test: Comprehensive panel for aging insights [3]. Recommendation Choose Bloody Good if you want the most complete, single-draw longevity panel with a clear focus on annual trend building [1]. For a user-friendly dashboard and broader category coverage (including toxins and microbiome), consider Function Health [4]. If you prefer at-home testing, Everlywell 360 is a strong alternative [2].
