Biohack is an iOS app that scores every meal for longevity. It tracks 23 nutrients linked to healthy aging, provides AI-powered coaching, and helps you eat to live longer. It is made by Buettner Labs LLC.

How does Biohack score meals?

Biohack uses AI to analyze your meal (via photo, text description, or barcode scan) and scores it on a 0 to 10 longevity scale. The score is based on peer-reviewed longevity research and evaluates micronutrients, polyphenols, Omega-3 ratios, and other factors that matter for healthy aging.

What nutrients does Biohack track?

Biohack tracks 23 longevity-relevant nutrients including Omega-3 fatty acids, magnesium, Vitamin D, polyphenols, fiber, zinc, selenium, and more. It goes beyond calories and protein to focus on the micronutrients that scientific research links to healthy aging and disease prevention.

How much does Biohack cost?

Biohack offers a 14-day free trial, no credit card required. After that, Biohack Full Access is $12.99/month or $89.99/year. Founding members get 50% off the yearly plan with code FOUNDING50.

How is Biohack different from calorie counters?

Unlike calorie counters that focus on calories and macros, Biohack scores meals for longevity by tracking 23 micronutrients linked to healthy aging. It provides AI coaching that identifies nutrient gaps and recommends specific foods and supplements based on your personal patterns.

Does Biohack work with intermittent fasting?

Yes, Biohack includes a built-in fasting timer that tracks your eating window and shows when autophagy (your body's cellular repair process) kicks in. It integrates fasting with your nutrition data for a complete longevity picture.

What countries is Biohack available in?

Biohack is currently available on the Apple App Store in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and Germany. More countries will be added in the future.

Vitamins

Vitamin B12

Critical for nerves and blood cells, absorption drops with age.

~6% of adults under 60 and ~20% of adults over 60 are B12 deficient in the US

Why it matters for longevity

Vitamin B12 is essential for nerve myelination, red blood cell formation, and DNA synthesis. Deficiency causes irreversible neurological damage if untreated. Absorption decreases significantly with age due to declining stomach acid production. Up to 43% of older adults have low or marginal B12 status, making it one of the most common nutrient deficiencies in aging populations.
