GlycanAge – Biological Age Test
Discover your biological age with the GlycanAge test
Science Behind Glycans
“Glycans are directly involved in the pathophysiology of every major disease… Additional knowledge from glycoscience will be needed to realise the goals of personalised medicine and to take advantage of the substantial investments in human genome and proteome research and its impact on human health.”
– US National Academies, 2012
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, etc. 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.
GlycanAge determines your biological age by looking at the state of your immune system and inflammation.
The test analyses the glycans attached to the most common antibody in your blood, called Immunoglobulin G or IgG.
The type of glycans attached to IgG are able to change the function of IgG from pro-inflammatory to anti-inflammatory and vice versa.
We need both functions for a strong immune system, but the balance between them will determine our general health status and consequentially our biological age.
The test involves completing a finger prick test and can be completed at home. Results are sent via your portal, which is set up at the time of testing.
Once your results are back we can discuss how you make necessary lifestyle changes to improve your GlycanAge, empowering you to safeguard your health in the future.
