How is Mito different from other screenings?

Research in longevity medicine has been extraordinary. So have advancements in AI. 

But health screenings? They have largely remained the same for the past decade.

Health screenings need to evolve - adopting breakthrough biomarkers for enhanced accuracy and seamless solutions that redefine your screening experience. 

And that’s our goal  - staying at the cutting edge of research and adopting a technology-first approach to ensure your screening process not only keeps up, but feels like a glimpse into the future of healthcare.

Advanced Longevity Biomarkers

Our goal: Comprehensive, longevity-focused biomarker testing at the most accessible price point.

Here are the key biomarkers you can’t find anywhere else (as recommended by the latest longevity research):

1. Longevity Cardiac Biomarkers - ApoB, Lp(a)

ApoB is a superior predictor of heart disease than conventional cholesterol.

Lp(a) is essential in understanding your inherited risk factor for heart disease.

In comparison, standard health screenings only include cholesterol due to institutions’ resistance to change despite overwhelming evidence for ApoB and Lp(a). But testing cholesterol alone is insufficient to give a holistic overview of your heart health.

2. Ultra-preventive Diabetes Biomarkers - Fasting insulin

Even before your glucose levels increase, early indicators for diabetes can be found in increased insulin levels (insulin resistance).

Traditional screenings only screen for glucose and HbA1c (a view of your glucose levels over 3 months); which detects pre-diabetes, which occurs at a stage after insulin resistance.

3. Vitamins and Minerals - Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, Folate, Iron 

Most of us are deficient in Vitamin D - essential for bone health, immunity, and energy.

Mild iron deficiency can manifest without anaemia (low haemoglobin) - causing impaired exercise performance, fatigue and low energy. Testing for iron, ferritin, total iron binding capacity, and iron saturation can help detect mild deficiency before it impacts your haemoglobin levels.

Vitamin B12 is essential for neurological function, DNA production, and the development of red blood cells. Folate is key for DNA synthesis and repair, and it works closely with vitamin B12 to help create red blood cells and ensure iron works effectively in the body.

Standard screening providers often do not cover Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, and iron biomarkers in depth. On a population level, the aim is to reduce sickness than optimise health - the cost of screening may outweigh the benefit. However, for individuals wishing to optimise their health, testing for vitamin and mineral deficiency is immensely useful.

4. Exclusive Biomarkers- Cystatin-C, Homocysteine

Creatinine has traditionally been used to monitor kidney health - due to its low cost and easy accessibility. However, Cystatin-C is superior to creatine in determining kidney health in athletic individuals, detecting early kidney decline, and predicting heart mortality. 

We worked with labs to pioneer Cystatin-C testing in Singapore, to give the best for clients when traditional creatinine was not accurate.

Homocysteine is used to assess your risk of heart disease, osteoporosis, dementia and vitamin deficiency.

The research establishing homocysteine as a risk factor is still underway, but it has potential role in further mitigating risk if optimised and used holistically with other biomarkers. 

Comprehensive 67 Biomarkers

Our selected biomarkers provide comprehensive health insights, covering every need of your annual check-up, apart from mammograms, HPV testing, and colonoscopy. We're expanding our services to include those in the future.
