Complete Biomarker Taxonomy
The BSP Taxonomy is the universal language for measuring biological state. It currently contains 210+ approved biomarkers divided into 25 categories and 4 access levels.
NOTE
This is a living standard. New biomarkers are added quarterly via the BIP Governance Process.
1. Core Longevity (BSP-LA)
The primary markers used by the AVA engine to determine the Ambrósio Vitality Score (SVA).
