What is GlycanAge?
GlycanAge measures biological age through glycan patterns (sugar molecules) on immunoglobulin G antibodies. These patterns change predictably with aging and lifestyle factors.
Why GlycanAge Matters
GlycanAge reflects your immune system's biological age and responds to lifestyle interventions like diet, exercise, and stress management. A biological age younger than your chronological age indicates healthier aging and better longevity outcomes.
Symptoms of Low GlycanAge
- Pro-inflammatory glycan patterns
- Immune system aging
- Increased chronic inflammation
- Higher disease susceptibility
Symptoms of High GlycanAge
- Positive—indicates youthful immune function
- Anti-inflammatory glycan profile
- Better stress resilience
