Clear answers about CerebralScoreTM—our at-home, saliva-based, research-informed brain health test
that helps you track cognitive wellness patterns over time.
CerebralScoreTM is a wellness-oriented, saliva-based test that analyzes patterns across a panel of
DNA methylation markers to provide insight into cognitive wellness trends you can track over time.
No. CerebralScoreTM provides wellness information only. It does not diagnose, treat, or cure any condition,
and it is not a substitute for clinical care. Always consult a qualified clinician with medical concerns.
People who want to track cognitive wellness proactively—longevity and data-tracking enthusiasts,
proactive midlife adults, families noticing changes, and care partners supporting loved ones.
You collect a small saliva sample at home using a simple tube. We extract cell-free DNA (cfDNA)
from the sample and quantify methylation signals at selected genomic sites to compute your
CerebralScoreTM.
DNA methylation is a natural chemical tag often occurring at cytosine-guanine dinucleotides (CpG sites).
Patterns across many CpG sites are associated with biological tissues such as specific brain regions and neurons. CerebralScoreTM summarizes patterns
across a targeted panel to provide a stable brain wellness signal over time.
Our current research-informed panel summarizes signals across 209 methylation markers.
We continually evaluate improvements that preserve longitudinal comparability.
Samples are processed in a CLIA-certified laboratory following quality-controlled workflows.
While CLIA supports rigorous operations, CerebralScoreTM remains a wellness service and not a diagnostic.
Typical turnaround is a few weeks from the day your sample arrives at the lab. Timing can vary with
shipping, batching windows, and QC steps.
You’ll receive a clear dashboard and downloadable report explaining your CerebralScoreTM and related
wellness metrics, plus guidance on tracking over time. No medical diagnosis is provided.
Most members re-test every 3–6 months to observe trends. Choose a cadence that fits your lifestyle
changes and wellness goals.
Use your results to support habit tracking across sleep, movement, nutrition, hearing health,
and social engagement. Small, consistent steps can compound over time. Discuss changes with your
clinician before starting new routines.
Yes, you can share your report with your clinician to support a wellness conversation. The report is
not intended for diagnosis or treatment decisions.
No prescription is required.
A saliva collection tube with stabilizer, step-by-step instructions, a prepaid return mailer with
appropriate labeling, and a quick-start card linking to your online account.
Avoid eating, drinking (except water), brushing teeth, or using mouthwash for 30 minutes beforehand.
Follow the included instructions carefully and seal everything as shown.
Place the sealed tube in the provided mailer with the included prepaid label and drop it off per the
instructions. Keep your tracking receipt.
We currently serve U.S. customers. International options are under evaluation.
CerebralScoreTM is intended for adults (18+). For questions about other ages, contact support.
CerebralScoreTM is a stable, research-informed wellness metric designed to be tracked over time.
It is not a diagnostic or risk prediction. Internally, we emphasize sample quality controls and
longitudinal consistency rather than clinical diagnosis endpoints.
We take privacy seriously. You control whether your de-identified data may be used for research.
See our Terms and Privacy Policy for details on collection, use, retention, and deletion.
No. Research participation is optional. Your core service is not impacted if you decline.
Contact support. We’ll work with you on a replacement according to our policy.
Yes. Each person should activate and use their own kit and account to keep data separate.
Some members use HSA/FSA at their plan’s discretion. Check with your benefits provider.
CerebralScoreTM is a wellness service and is not typically covered by insurance.
Avoid collection if you have active mouth sores, bleeding gums, or within 30 minutes of food, drink
(except water), brushing, or mouthwash. If you’re feeling ill, consider waiting until you’re well.
We’re exploring integrations to help correlate daily habits with longitudinal methylation signals.
Stay tuned for updates.
Yes. We offer partnership discussions for employer wellness and clinical research programs.

Yes. See the Members page and Terms for the most up-to-date cancellation details and effective dates.
Samples are grouped into sequencing batches. Each batch undergoes controls and quality checks before
results release to help ensure stable, comparable outputs across time.
If we improve models or features, we aim to preserve longitudinal comparability. When changes are
material, we will communicate clearly and may provide re-computed historical views where feasible.
Care partners can help with kit activation and logistics (with permission). Each person should have
their own account. For extra support resources, see our Care Partners page.
