GlycanAge

Glycan-based test to determine your biological age

We’re at the forefront of glycoscience. We’ve analysed over 80,000 people worldwide to develop our GlycanAge test. The test is delivered by our trusted network of registered GlycanAge advisors.

Our world-class lab partner Genos delivers expert analysis. Because with knowledge comes control.

Glycans are complex sugar molecules (carbohydrates), and one of the four main building blocks of life. They are involved in almost every process in our body. Many external factors that could affect our health leave a mark on our glycan pattern.

Among other vital processes, glycans regulate our immune system. Immunoglobulin G (IgG), the most prevalent antibody type in our blood, is always glycosylated - meaning it has glycans attached to it. The type of the glycan group attached to the IgG determines if IgG will enhance or reduce inflammation. Since inflammation can exhaust our resources to keep the body in good health, low level of inflammation was shown to be a predictor of successful ageing. Therefore, IgG glycosylation is also a good measure of biological age.
