The GlycanAge Test
The GlycanAge test is a biological age assessment tool, which measures age-related changes in glycans—complex carbohydrate molecules—attached to immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies. Glycans play critical roles in various cellular processes, including protein folding, cell signaling, and immune responses. The test analyzes the glycosylation patterns of IgG, as these patterns are known to change with age and are influenced by genetics, lifestyle, and environmental factors.
By examining specific glycan structures on IgG molecules, the GlycanAge test provides an estimation of an individual's biological age, which may differ from their chronological age. This information can offer insights into one's health status and aging process, potentially guiding lifestyle adjustments to promote healthier aging.​ The GlycanAge test established relationships between glycosylation patterns and biological aging.
GlycanAge Science
GlycanAge™ analyzes the glycans attached to your Immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies. These glycans are powerful biomarkers that reflect your body's state of health and aging.
