Optional informational assessment

An optional assessment of age-related patterns in blood-cell lineage balance, using approximately 5 mL of peripheral blood.

What is assessed

A Pattern in Blood-Cell Lineage Balance

Hematopoietic stem cells give rise to both myeloid and lymphoid cell lineages. With normal aging, hematopoiesis can become more myeloid-biased while lymphoid output declines. CELUVIN’s assessment examines selected peripheral-blood cell populations and their relative balance as an indirect view of this age-related pattern.

More balanced lineage pattern

The body is generally better positioned to maintain adaptive immune responses and recover from everyday immune challenges.

Lineage context

Myeloid and Lymphoid Lineages

01

Myeloid lineage

Includes cells involved in rapid, broad innate responses, oxygen transport and clotting. Age-related increases may contribute to a more inflammatory hematopoietic profile.

02

Lymphoid lineage

Includes T cells, B cells and NK cells involved in adaptive and immune-surveillance functions. Age-related reductions may be associated with weaker adaptive immune output.

Four careful steps

How It Works

  1. 01

    Sample

    Approximately 5 mL of peripheral blood is collected by an appropriate provider.

  2. 02

    Measurement

    Selected myeloid- and lymphoid-lineage cell populations are measured.

  3. 03

    Interpretation

    Relative balance is reviewed in the context of age-related hematopoietic patterns.

  4. 04

    Follow-up

    When appropriate, results may be compared over time alongside other health information.

Role in the CELUVIN approach

Recommended for Context. Not Required for Product Use.

The assessment can provide a baseline for people who want an additional data point before or during a healthy-aging program. It is optional. Individuals may review CELUVIN formulas without undergoing the assessment.

Interpretation discipline

What Results Can—and Cannot—Say

  • A report can describe the measured cell populations and their relative proportions.
  • A single result cannot establish disease, immune competence, remaining lifespan or a precise blood age.
  • A change in ratio cannot automatically be attributed to a CELUVIN product; timing, testing conditions, health status and other interventions matter.
  • A qualified healthcare professional should interpret abnormalities or clinical concerns.
