Commercial glycan test kit can tell the biological age using a dry blood spot

Analysing IgG glycosylation: is it the most accurate measure of biological age?

05-May-2020

Key points from article :

GlycanAge is a British-Croatian start-up that analyses glycosylation patterns to determine biological age.

Developed a direct-to-consumer glycan test kit that uses a dry blood spot as the sample.

Quantifies IgG glycosylation, which directly correlates with the level of inflammation in the body.

Measures biological age, chronic low grade systemic inflammation and delivers results in four weeks.

Claims that this is the “most accurate” measure of biological age.

Provides a personalised “dashboard” report and a 30 minute online consultation with a clinician.

Therefore offers highly personalised lifestyle improvement suggestions to help with prevention.
