GlycanAge provides advanced biological age testing by measuring glycans, which serve as a sensitive biomarker for chronic inflammation, or inflammaging. This diagnostic tool allows individuals and healthcare providers to quantify underlying aging processes years before clinical disease onset. The service translates complex molecular data into actionable insights for personalized health interventions and longevity management.

Problem
Measuring biological age and tracking the impact of lifestyle choices on aging is challenging, as it requires methods that go beyond chronological age and reflect the cumulative effects of environmental and genetic factors on an individual's health. Traditional methods often fail to provide a comprehensive view of how lifestyle interventions affect the aging process at a molecular level.
Solution
GlycanAge offers a biological age test that quantifies chronic inflammation by analyzing glycans, which are sugar molecules attached to IgG antibodies. This assessment provides insights into an individual's biological age, reflecting the impact of lifestyle and environmental factors on their immune system. The test uses a simple at-home blood sample collection kit, and results are analyzed in a lab, with a report generated in approximately three weeks. Each test includes a consultation with a specialist to review the results and suggest personalized lifestyle changes aimed at improving health and slowing down biological aging.
Target Audience
The primary audience includes individuals interested in biohacking, longevity, and wellness, as well as those seeking to personalize their healthspan and manage conditions such as menopause through a deeper understanding of their biological age.
