Superpower is a $199-a-year membership that runs more than 100 blood tests at a Quest lab, puts the results in an app, and turns them into a diet, lifestyle, and supplement plan. It is one of the cheapest ways to get a broad annual blood panel without a doctor’s order, and it undercuts Function Health by $166 a year.
The bottom line of our Superpower review: it is a good value if you want a wide snapshot of your blood chemistry and will discuss the results with your own doctor. However, the more tests you run, the more “abnormal” results you will get by chance alone, and the company also sells the supplements, peptides, and prescriptions its plans may suggest. Go in knowing both.
How much does Superpower cost?
A Superpower membership costs $199 a year, billed annually, according to Superpower’s website as of November 10, 2026. It covers one comprehensive blood draw of more than 100 biomarkers, an app with your results and an action plan, and access to the company’s artificial intelligence (AI) assistant and care team. Prices may differ in New York and New Jersey.
A few details matter before you sign up:
| Item | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Annual membership | $199 a year | Health savings account (HSA) and flexible spending account (FSA) eligible; cancel anytime, active through the paid year |
| Blood plus genome bundle | $299 first year | Holiday offer; adds an at-home DNA swab; renews at $199 |
| Follow-up blood test | Free for new members | Listed at $99; taken 3 to 6 months after the first draw |
| At-home blood draw | Extra, price not listed | Offered in most major US metro areas |
| Galleri multi-cancer test | $699 plus membership | Requires a prescription; available in 25 states and Washington, D.C. |
| Gut, toxin, and other add-on tests | Price not listed | Ordered through the app |
The site lists HSA and FSA eligibility but says nothing about health insurance coverage. The membership is available in 41 states and Washington, D.C., and blood draws happen at more than 2,000 Quest Diagnostics locations. Check the state list on the company’s site before you pay.
Third-party reviews quote different prices, including one updated in November 2026 that lists $349 a year. Treat the company’s own checkout page as the final word.
What you get with a Superpower membership
The blood panel
The core of the membership is a single blood draw, usually about 10 minutes at a Quest Diagnostics lab. Superpower advertises “100+ biomarkers” from that draw, grouped on its site as follows:
| Category | Biomarkers listed |
|---|---|
| Heart and metabolic | 41 |
| Hormones and thyroid | 19 |
| Cancer and other risks | 10 |
| DNA health | 7 |
| Energy | 6 |
| Aging | 3 |
Those category counts add up to 86, not 100. The difference may come from markers the site does not list by category, but we could not confirm that. Ask for the full test list before you buy if a specific marker matters to you.
The count has also been contested in court. In a January 2026 lawsuit, Function Health alleged that a Superpower membership includes only about 55 direct lab measurements, with the rest of the “100+” made up of ratios and indices calculated from those results. The case settled in June 2026 without a ruling (details below).
Results usually arrive in about a week and no later than 10 days. New members also get a free follow-up test 3 to 6 months after the first draw, which helps show whether changes you made are working.
Scores, plan, and app
Superpower turns your results into a biological age estimate and 17 health scores, then builds what it calls a personalized protocol covering diet, lifestyle, and supplements. The app stores your results, accepts uploads of past blood work from other labs, and connects to Apple Health, Whoop, and Oura wearables.
AI assistant and care team
Members can message Superpower’s AI assistant, called Kin, and a care team at any hour. The website does not say whether a licensed physician reviews every result. Function Health’s lawsuit alleged that the care team is made up mainly of dietitians, health coaches, and advisors, so ask who will answer you before you rely on the plan for a medical decision.
The marketplace
Through the app, members can order add-on tests, supplements, peptides, and prescriptions. In other words, the same company that interprets your results also sells some of the remedies, which is worth keeping in mind when a plan recommends a product.
Who is behind Superpower?
Max Marchione, Jacob Peters, and Kevin Unkrich founded Superpower in 2023, and the company is now based in San Francisco, according to Capital Brief. Marchione, an Australian, serves as president and is the company’s public face.
The company has grown quickly on venture money:
- 2023: a $4 million pre-seed round, per Athletech News.
- 2025: a $30 million Series A led by Forerunner Ventures, which the company said valued it at more than $300 million.
- August 2025: Superpower left its beta period and launched the $199 membership.
- July 2026: Entrepreneur reported more than $50 million raised in total, a valuation above $500 million, “tens of thousands of members,” and an acquisition of peptide intellectual property.
Superpower leans heavily on celebrity backers, including basketball star Giannis Antetokounmpo, who serves as a global brand ambassador. Celebrity investment says something about marketing reach, but nothing about test quality. The company’s website now claims more than 64,000 customers.
The peptide purchase signals where the business may be heading: beyond testing and toward selling treatments. We will update this review as that part of the business develops.
The Function Health lawsuit
On January 26, 2026, Function Health sued Superpower in federal court in Los Angeles for false advertising, as Athletech News reported. According to a summary by the law firm ArentFox Schiff, Function alleged that Superpower:
- Counted calculated ratios as biomarkers to reach “100+,” from about 55 direct measurements
- Advertised a “real clinical team” available “24/7,” when replies typically came within 24 hours on weekdays from dietitians, health coaches, or “longevity advisors” rather than physicians or nurses
- Claimed “3,000+” lab locations, while Quest has about 2,250 patient service centers
- Used edited customer reviews in comparison ads
These were allegations, not findings. The court docket shows the parties told the court on June 12, 2026, that they had settled, and the case was dismissed without any ruling on the merits. The settlement terms are not public. Notably, Superpower’s site now lists “2,000+” Quest locations instead of 3,000.
Superpower limitations and caveats
More tests mean more false alarms
The biggest caveat applies to every broad blood panel, not just Superpower’s. Labs usually set a “normal” range to cover the middle 95% of results from healthy people, so 1 healthy person in 20 lands outside it on any single test. A 1998 paper in the Journal of Family Practice gives the math: with n tests, a healthy person’s chance of at least one abnormal result is 1 minus 0.95 raised to the power n.
Applied to a 20-test panel, that works out to 64.2%, as a 2025 review in the Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine notes. At 100 tests, the formula gives more than 99%. The real figure is somewhat lower, because many test results move together, but the point stands: almost everyone who runs a 100-marker panel will see at least one flag. Most will mean nothing, and some will lead to repeat tests, specialist visits, and worry.
The same review adds a practical tip: the acceptable range for creatinine, a kidney marker, differs by 35% from lab to lab, and some heart tests vary more than 4-fold between methods. Keep repeat testing at the same lab when you track a number over time.
The scores are not independently validated
We found no peer-reviewed study validating Superpower’s biological age estimate or its 17 health scores. Likewise, the outcome figures on its website, such as “60% found something a doctor missed,” come from the company’s own survey of 143 members 90 days after their action plan. Other claims, including that “49% of members slow their speed of aging,” list no sample size or method. Treat these as marketing, not evidence. If biological age matters to you, our guide to biological age tests compares methods with published research behind them.
Add-ons need context
The Galleri blood test screens for many cancers at once, and it requires a prescription. Our article on the multi-cancer early detection test covers what it can and cannot tell you. We have not reviewed the evidence behind the specific supplements and peptides Superpower sells.
Who owns your data, and what Superpower does with it
Superpower’s homepage promises that it will “never sell” your data or share it with insurers, advertisers, or brokers. Its privacy policy, last updated October 20, 2026, is less absolute. Here is what it says:
- Ownership: the policy does not say who owns your blood test results. For the genome kit, the product page states, “You own your genetic data.”
- Health privacy law: Superpower says it is not a healthcare provider and “may not have to comply with” the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). The affiliated medical providers who order and interpret tests may be covered by it.
- Selling data: Superpower says it does not sell personal information to other businesses for advertising. However, it uses Meta, Google, Microsoft, and LinkedIn advertising tools, which it says “may be considered a ‘sale’ or ‘sharing'” under state privacy laws. It also shares data with affiliates and marketing partners.
- De-identified data: Superpower may “use, create, and sell” data stripped of identifying details, and it lists research and product development among its uses. It says its AI vendors may not use your health data to train their models.
- If the company is sold: your data can transfer to a buyer, including in a bankruptcy, and the policy does not promise the same protections will follow.
- Deletion: you can request deletion by email, and Superpower has up to 90 days to respond. It may keep some data for legal reasons.
The genome kit, sequenced by Gencove, handles DNA more carefully. Physical samples are normally destroyed after about 180 days, research and third-party sharing require separate optional consent, and sensitive results such as the Alzheimer’s-linked APOE gene appear only if you opt in.
We found no reports that Superpower has misused member data. Still, the gap between “we never sell it” and a policy that permits selling de-identified data matters. Before you join, opt out of health information processing you do not want, decline the optional DNA research consents if you prefer, and delete your data if you cancel.
Superpower vs. Function Health and other options
Superpower’s closest rival is Function Health, which Keep.Health covers in its Function Health / Ezra review. The two look similar on paper; the main differences are price and test count.
| Option | Annual cost | Blood tests | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Superpower | $199 | 100+ in one draw, plus a free follow-up for new members | The lowest-cost broad panel |
| Function Health | $365 (cut from $499 in late 2025) | 160+ across the year | More markers per year |
| Annual physical with your primary care provider | Often covered by insurance | A smaller standard panel | Care tied to a doctor who knows your history |
| All of Us Research Program | Free | Research program, not a clinical panel | Contributing to research while learning about your health |
If you already have an annual physical, ask your doctor which extra markers would change your care. Adding three or four targeted tests to a covered visit may cost less than either membership.
Superpower review verdict: is it worth it?
Superpower is worth $199 for people who want a broad yearly look at their blood chemistry, will share the results with their own doctor, and can treat stray flags calmly. It is a poor fit for anyone prone to health anxiety, anyone who wants a physician managing their care, or anyone who lives outside its 41 states.
Good fit:
- You want a health baseline and plan to retest each year to spot trends
- You already have a primary care provider who will review the results with you
- You have health savings account or flexible spending account funds to use
Consider skipping it:
- You find unexpected test results stressful
- You want one doctor to order, interpret, and act on your tests
- You are mainly interested in the supplements or peptides, since the plan and the store come from the same company
Whichever route you choose, a broad panel works best as one part of a personal health team, not a replacement for it.
Frequently asked questions
How much does Superpower cost?
A Superpower membership costs $199 a year as of November 2026, and pricing may differ in New York and New Jersey. That covers one blood draw of more than 100 biomarkers, a free follow-up test for new members, an action plan, and app access. At-home draws and add-on tests such as Galleri cost extra.
How many biomarkers does Superpower test?
Superpower advertises more than 100 biomarkers from a single blood draw at a Quest lab. Its website groups 86 of them into six categories, led by 41 heart and metabolic markers and 19 hormone and thyroid markers. Ask the company for the full list if you need a particular test.
Is Superpower better than Function Health?
Superpower costs $166 a year less than Function Health, which charges $365 for more than 160 tests across the year. Function runs more markers; Superpower is cheaper and adds an AI assistant and a product marketplace. We found no peer-reviewed evidence that either company’s scores or plans improve health outcomes.
Does insurance cover Superpower?
Superpower’s website lists health savings account and flexible spending account eligibility but does not mention insurance coverage. In practice, plan to pay the $199 yourself or with tax-advantaged funds. Routine blood work ordered by your own doctor during an annual physical is often covered, so ask about that first.
