Three reasons members pick Aniva over aescolab

Same idea at first glance: a blood analysis, a German lab, and recommendations you can act on. But the way you use it across a year is completely different.

Up to 500 markers from one draw

Aniva runs 100+ markers in the Core panel. Add genetics, heavy metals, advanced hormones or longevity from the same blood draw and the total reaches up to 500. aescolab packages range from 20 to around 85 biomarkers and cannot be expanded after the draw.

Up to 100 percent reimbursed by PKV

Most German private insurers reimburse the Aniva membership as preventive diagnostics. We issue an insurance-compliant invoice within 24 hours. aescolab is currently paid out of pocket.

A year-round concierge, included

Aniva includes a personal concierge year-round in the membership: message a real person any time about your results, supplements, or next steps. aescolab offers a knowledge portal, group calls and webinars; 1:1 sessions are paid extras.
