# MoleQlar ## Facts | | | |---|---| | Founded | 2020 | | Origin | Germany | | Headquarters | Berlin | | Status | Active | | Manufacturing | Germany, Austria | | Distribution | Direct to consumer | | Website | https://moleqlar.com/ | MoleQlar (styled MOLEQLAR) is a German longevity company based in Berlin that sells food supplements, at-home laboratory tests and health-education content under a single brand. It was founded by three physicians, and its product development is organised around the "Hallmarks of Aging", a framework from ageing research that groups the biological processes associated with growing older [2]. Beauty is a side branch of a much larger catalogue: the company's skincare and collagen lines sit alongside capsules and powders aimed at energy, sleep, metabolism and what it calls "inflammaging". The company drew attention in the German start-up press in November 2023, when it closed a seed funding round and took over EpiQMAx, an insolvent Munich epigenetics specialist that now operates as MoleQlar Analytics GmbH [7]. The brand is active, with its online shop shipping across Europe. ## Origin & founders MoleQlar describes itself as having been founded by doctors who kept seeing the same pattern in medicine: health systems tend to react only once problems are already visible, when performance has dropped or symptoms have appeared. The company says it was set up to make health "measurable, understandable and actively steerable" at an earlier stage [2]. The founding team consists of Max (Maximilian) Griessinger, Mario Gietl and a third co-founder whose surname is spelled two ways in the available sources. The company's own about page names him as Dr. med. univ. Clemens Klingler [2], while a 2023 press release published by the IZB biotechnology start-up centre gives the name as Clemens Klinger [8]. A 2022 start-up portal profile reported that Griessinger founded the company alongside his medical studies [9]. Griessinger serves as managing director, and the company is registered at the Charlottenburg district court in Berlin [6]. ## History & milestones The 2022 profile on the Yumda start-up portal presented MoleQlar as a young health company focused on prevention through supplements rather than treatment after the fact. The piece carried an image credited to the company's own press office, suggesting that its framing drew on material supplied by the company [9]. The company's most visible corporate step came in late 2023. On 9 November 2023 it announced the closing of a seed funding round with Rheingau Founders as lead investor [8]. In a joint statement, the three founders said the money would be used to speed up research and development and to expand the company's market presence, with the stated goal of improving people's "healthspan", the number of years lived in good health. In the same announcement, MoleQlar confirmed the acquisition of EpiQMAx. That company had been spun out of LMU Munich in 2018 and specialised in proteome analysis, the large-scale study of proteins in the body, and in epigenetics, the chemical markers that switch genes on and off. EpiQMAx offered an epigenetic saliva test and had filed for insolvency in the third quarter of 2023 [7]. After the takeover it continued as MoleQlar Analytics GmbH, led by its chief executive Moritz Völker-Albert. Griessinger described the purchase as a strategic move that would strengthen MoleQlar's analytics capabilities and product development. Völker-Albert said EpiQMAx's methods for analysing proteins and measuring histone modifications, a specific type of epigenetic marker, would support the development of personalised health solutions [7]. Dr. Dominik Duscher, named in the release as MoleQlar's scientific advisor, linked the acquisition to the prospect of personalised longevity medicine [8]. ## Ownership No parent company is documented, and MoleQlar operates as an independent, founder-led business. Its outside backing comes from the 2023 seed round led by Rheingau Founders. Through the EpiQMAx acquisition, the company holds a laboratory-analytics subsidiary, MoleQlar Analytics GmbH. ## Philosophy & positioning MoleQlar presents its offering as a connected system rather than a set of separate products. The company describes its approach in four steps: understanding the mechanisms behind energy, regeneration and long-term health; measuring them with tests instead of relying on guesswork; acting on the results with targeted supplementation; and sticking with it over time. Its own copy rejects the idea of health as a "hack" or a 30-day project. The brand's tagline is "Beyond Lifespan.", and it summarises its values as precision, transparency and science. Its website also hosts a magazine, podcasts, book recommendations and a glossary, with blog categories covering longevity, biohacking, supplements and the Hallmarks of Aging. This educational layer is, in the company's account, the third pillar of the business alongside supplements and diagnostics. On quality, MoleQlar says its supplements are produced only in GMP-, IFS- or HACCP-certified facilities in Germany and Austria [1]. According to the company, every batch is tested both by the manufacturer and by independent laboratories in Germany accredited to ISO/IEC 17025, the international standard for testing labs, and it publishes batch certificates on its website [4]. It also says it uses branded raw materials that have been used in clinical studies where possible, and that selected products appear on the Cologne List, a German register of supplements screened to reduce the risk of inadvertent doping. No third-party certifications covering the brand as a whole are documented. ## Products & innovation The core of the range is ingestible. The best-known product is Uthever NMN powder, made with Uthever, a branded form of nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN). Other headline ingredients include resveratrol, betaine and carnosine, and the catalogue extends to magnesium L-threonate, spermidine, omega-3 fatty acids, collagen and a long list of single-ingredient capsules. ONE – Daily Foundational Formula is the company's all-in-one daily product. Under a separate "Chemicals" heading, the shop also lists NMN, methylene blue and lithium orotate. Beauty forms a smaller part of the catalogue, grouped under skincare, collagen and hair. Most of these products are taken by mouth, such as collagen powder, hyaluronic acid capsules and a vegan collagen precursor complex. The one topical item is the NMN Serum, a facial serum that combines NMN with hyaluronic acid and aloe vera. A "Skin Glow Essentials" bundle groups beauty-oriented supplements together. On the diagnostics side, MoleQlar sells laboratory tests for home use. These include a biological age test, which the company says gives insight into a person's molecular profile, as well as tests for NAD, vitamin D and omega-3 levels. The website includes a dedicated test portal. The company also sells its own accessories, such as storage jars, shakers and scoops. ## Current status MoleQlar is active. Its online shop is live and ships across Europe, the website runs in several languages including English, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch and Polish, and its quality-assurance page lists batch certificates dated as recently as October 2026 [4]. The company states that it has more than 100,000 customers. It also maintains accounts on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Facebook. ## Timeline {#belagg-timeline} | Year | Event | Source | |---|---|---| | 2020 | Company founded in Berlin (per IZB press release, low confidence) | https://www.izb-online.de/en/media-library/press/press-releases/moleqlar-receives-seed-funding-from-rheingau-founders-and-acquires-munich-based-epigenetics-specialist-epiqmax-at-izb/ | | 2023 | Closed a seed funding round with Rheingau Founders as lead investor (announced 9 Nov 2023) | https://www.izb-online.de/en/media-library/press/press-releases/moleqlar-receives-seed-funding-from-rheingau-founders-and-acquires-munich-based-epigenetics-specialist-epiqmax-at-izb/ | | 2023 | Acquired Munich epigenetics company EpiQMAx (LMU spin-off from 2018, insolvent in Q3 2023); it continues as MoleQlar Analytics GmbH | https://munich-startup.de/news/epiqmax-von-moleqlar-uebernommen | | 2023 | Acquired EpiQMAx (Munich proteomics/epigenetics firm), renamed MoleQlar Analytics GmbH, led by CEO Moritz Völker-Albert | https://munich-startup.de/news/epiqmax-von-moleqlar-uebernommen | ## Signature products {#belagg-products} - **Uthever NMN Pulver** — World's Best NMN.
