GlycanAge®
Are you in good health? Find out with GlycanAge® - the most accurate test of bio-age and wellness available!
Ageing, while a natural process, is the accumulation of damage in your body over time, caused by a long term over-activation of the immune system. GlycanAge® testing determines your biological age by measuring chronic inflammation in your system - which is directly related to your lifestyle. Discovering your biological age can provide you with the confidence that your current lifestyle is optimal, or empower you to make changes if there could be room for improvement. This testing is quick and easy, and just needs a few drops of blood.
GlycanAge® testing works by looking at your unique Glycans.
What are Glycans?
Glycans are sugar molecules that surround and modify proteins in your body. They respond to your lifestyle choices and indicate the inflammatory state of your immune system, which in turn determines to your biological age. Glycans have a large influence on your unique biology and are regulated almost equally by our genes on one side and environment and lifestyle choices on the other.
Glycans play a vital role in keeping us healthy, but are also involved in most major diseases. As we age, the balance of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory glycans in our body changes. Various inflammatory effectors like excessive or unsuitable diet or fitness regimen, hormone changes, surrounding environment, ethnic background, stress, and more can cause an imbalance between pro and anti-inflammatory glycans. This leads to low-grade systemic inflammation, which can speed up the process of ageing and increase the risk for many diseases.
How does GlycanAge® determine biological age?
GlycanAge® determines your biological age by looking at the state of your immune system and inflammation. This testing will give you your biological age and provides a full report of lifestyle changes you can make to improve your health. The GlycanAge® test is very responsive to lifestyle changes - such as diet, exercise, sleep, stress management and more. With regular testing, you can see the impact of these choices on your overall health!
