Superpower Health Review: What Getting Started is Really Like

This is part one of two in my Superpower Health review, the health app that gives you more control over biomarker testing, and an AI adviser to review your results.

This first part will cover getting started, with my experience in onboarding and testing, and the second will cover getting my results, how the AI explained them, and the protocols it built for me.

I wanted to join a membership like Superpower, because I'm a naturally curious person, and wanted to know more about my body on my own terms and time schedule. The idea of being given a plan based on my data was really intriguing. (I am a big fan of data, and was plotting my previous health results in a spreadsheet already, so more data is always preferable.)

Before you keep reading, know that this post and the followup are sponsored by Superpower, and my membership was covered by the company for the year. However, this does not influence my content, and I'm sharing my 100% honest review.

As you may remember, I also received a free membership with Hone Health as well. While both companies have different goals, I'll cover some similarities and differences, for people looking into whether Hone Health or Superpower is better for their health goals.

What is Superpower Health?

Superpower is a health membership where you learn your health baseline, receive a protocol to improve that baseline with their AI, dubbed Kin, and their care team.

Superpower's goal is to help prevent disease and enhance human capability, starting with giving us the power to optimize our health.

How Does Superpower's AI Work?

Superpower says their AI is built with strict clinical guardrails, designed by medical professionals. It has boundaries around what it can and cannot recommend, and has proprietary research, not just public information. While it is built with knowledge and research from those databases, it can also still review the material outside of that context, as I asked it about specific vitamin brands, and it was able to discuss those options.

I'll share more on my experience speaking with it in part two of my review.

Is Superpower Just an AI Chatbot?

Not at all. In addition to the tests included, ease of ordering tests (you can add on specialty ones depending on your health needs), you also have the text care team, and an AI that reviews your results that is specifically trained for medical needs with clinical guardrails. A regular AI chat doesn't have this level of knowledge over your testing or specific health safety concerns.

How Much Does Superpower Health Cost in 2026?

Superpower costs $199 a year, covering one blood draw, their AI health coach that suggests protocols based on your results, and access to their store with discounts on supplements and prescriptions (if you qualify). In some states, it may cost more. For reference, I am in Florida.

There are additional charges should you buy the medicine or additional tests they recommend, and they are HSA/FSA eligible. From the supplements I looked through on their website, they are a better deal through them than the same supplements on Amazon. I'll share more on their supplement costs in part two, as I did purchase one.

How Does Signing Up for Superpower Work?

Once you submit your payment, you work through an onboarding survey, and schedule your blood draw. It took about 15-20 minutes to complete, and covered family history, my lifestyle, and goals.

During this set up process, you can also add your wearables, like Oura ring, and connect to Apple Health.

At the end of the survey, you have the option to add-on more tests, showing first the ones recommended for you based on your goals and family history.

How Many Biomarkers Does Superpower Actually Test?

Superpower lists all of their tested biomarkers on their website, but the amount varies depending on whether you also use their add-ons or import results from other tests you've taken. The core panels included in your membership have 103, but my protocols were based on the results of that baseline blood draw, my previous results, and information from my tech wearables, so my portal shows over 103. More on that in part two of my review.

Superpower recommends other add-ons based on your goals and results, but there are more options you can pay for, without any barriers. I'm very curious to take the genome and cancer screening tests.

As my husband is a cancer survivor, having test options like this that I can do for myself, just because I want to, is such a relief. I can see this benefit appealing to those that have had health scares, or doctors that haven't listened to your worries before.

What is the Superpower Blood Draw Like?

Getting my blood drawn and submitting a urine sample for Superpower was easy. I went through onboarding, was directed to where I could schedule the test online, and then went to a Quest facility. You do need to fast for the blood draw, which I forgot about (eating salt and vinegar chips at midnight when I couldn't sleep the night before 😂), but rescheduling was easy.

There are many Quest locations, so getting a time that worked with my schedule wasn't a struggle, but what was particularly interesting was the suggestion on when in my cycle to take my exam.

You can also pay extra for a private in-home draw, which is a great option for those with difficulties that may make driving or public spaces hard, those with limited time, or people that prefer more private options.

Because I have periods, they asked about my last cycle date, and recommended when in the month I should take the test to get best results on my hormones.

Another unique point was Superpower suggesting I stop taking vitamins for a few days before my blood draw, to see what baseline of health was covered by my diet alone. The cycle and vitamin suggestions are not something I've been asked before.

How Long Do Superpower Results Take?

About a week or less, though Quest will send you results early if you've signed up for notifications, giving you your results in pieces until all areas were tested. The full Superpower results will not load with your protocols until all the Quest results are available. About a day after my results were available in Quest, I got my results in Superpower.

(Side-bar, this question is very funny. Imagine if we were waiting for tests related to getting actual superpowers!)

Does Superpower Work With Oura, Apple Watch, and Other Wearable Health Trackers?

Yes, Superpower integrates with any wearable that sends information to Apple Health. This part was really cool for me, as I purchased an Oura ring over the summer to better stay on top of my health goals, and Superpower's AI used that data as part of my protocols.

How Does Superpower Health Compare to Hone Health?

In Hone Health, they specialize in a few specific areas (focusing on 40+ biomarkers, with specialties in aging and hormones), while Superpower focuses on a full scope of health (100+ biomarkers to start, with screenings for overall health, hormones, cancer screenings, and more). Hone is a monthly membership, with Superpower a yearly membership. Both can offer certain prescriptions and supplements, where Superpower also has add-on testing beyond the initial 100+. In both Hone Health plans, the cost is higher per year.

If you do not meet those specific needs in Hone Health, you are removed from the program after your first virtual physician meeting.

If you are considered healthy by Superpower, you can still keep your Superpower membership and continue to optimize your health with the protocol they recommend, and get your second test. You are in control of your membership, not the program.

So it depends on what you are looking for, specialized help in a few areas, or overall help.

Is Superpower Worth Signing Up For?

So far, yes! Getting started was easy, I like the personalized approach, and being able to add-on additional tests as I want is a great benefit.

But stay tuned for part two, where I’ll share how Superpower explained my blood work, the protocol it built for me, and my experience using the app in the month since.
