Greenland shark and bowhead whale beneath Arctic ice

The result of our research

The Real Champions of Longevity

New

Their longevity. A new lens on you.

A 507-year-old clam, a shark estimated to be nearly 400, a 7-gram bat that lives for 41 years: the animal kingdom’s champions have so much to teach us.

Our research agents studied the champions’ biomarkers and lifestyle habits across 145 preselected species and 753 studies. Our forward-looking R&D becomes a new pillar included in your Longevity Program at no extra cost.

The kings of longevity

  • Giant glass sponge
    11,000 years
    estimated

    Giant glass sponge

    Its glass skeleton may have begun growing at the end of the last ice age.

  • Ocean quahog
    507 years

    Ocean quahog

    Born around 1499, before Jacques Cartier's first voyage. Its 507 growth rings tell the story.

  • Greenland shark
    392 years
    estimated

    Greenland shark

    It has swum beneath the ice for centuries and only reaches maturity at around 150 years.

  • Bowhead whale
    211 years
    estimated

    Bowhead whale

    More than two centuries in the Arctic, with cells that repair their DNA with remarkable precision.

  • Red sea urchin
    200 years
    estimated

    Red sea urchin

    At 200 years old, it shows almost no signs of aging.

  • Galápagos giant tortoises
    177 years

    Galápagos giant tortoises

    The world's most famous tortoises. Historical record: 177 years.

  • Lake sturgeon
    152 years
    estimated

    Lake sturgeon

    Our neighbour in the St. Lawrence River. One wild sturgeon was estimated to be 152 years old.

  • Northern quahog
    106 years

    Northern quahog

    This clam from our Atlantic coast can live for more than 100 years.

  • American lobster
    50 to 100 years
    estimated

    American lobster

    It molts and grows throughout its life. The largest may live for a century.

  • Asian elephant
    80 years
    estimated

    Asian elephant

    Dozens of times more cells than we have, and far fewer cancers than its size would suggest.

  • Brandt’s bat
    41 years

    Brandt's bat

    7 grams, 41 years: ten times the lifespan of a mouse.

  • Naked mole-rat
    40 years

    Naked mole-rat

    It almost never gets cancer, and its risk of dying does not rise with age.

Lasting health

Living a long, healthy life.

Healthspan means the years lived in good health. In the champions, very long lives come with remarkable maintenance of biological functions. Your virtual twin compares your biology with the champions’ biology.

How we created it

From champions of the animal kingdom to your virtual twin: your virtual twin compares your biology with the champions’ biology.

  1. Explore the champions

    145 preselected species and 753 studies on their biomarkers and lifestyle habits.

  2. Find the common thread

    In the champions, protecting cells and DNA is the most recurring strategy. We do not perform any genetic test: your twin reads blood biomarkers linked to this upkeep. 29 biomarkers point in the same direction in the champions and in long-lived humans.

  3. Compare your biology

    About 700 blood biomarkers read to compare your biology with the champions’ biology, through your virtual twin.

  4. A result from your very first kit

    The pillar is included in every Longevity analysis since November 1, 2026. Your next kits show your progress.

  5. Bring together five Bio-Signatures

    Arctica, The Big Giants, The Night Champions, The Legendary Galápagos and The Common Thread: five complementary perspectives, included at no extra cost.
