As in my view the testing that is offered with the annual subscription fee($499) is worth the cost.
Comments/opinions?

I think this is really interesting… but I have not yet had a chance to review the specifics of each test and compare them to other options that I really want and need. So I will be doing that at some point.
The key issue is if the costs from other groups (LifeExtension, etc.) of the tests I really need and want are anywhere near this total of $499. Right now I typically just get the basic blood panel (CBC) and the CRP/hsCRP, and APOB on a regular basis… so the question for me is how much I want / need all these other tests.
I’ve not yet decided that.
