GlycanAge Test

Discover how well your body is truly aging—beyond the number of candles on your birthday cake.

Aging is more than just a number. While your chronological age reflects how many years you’ve lived, your biological age reveals how your body is functioning at the cellular and immune levels. This is where the GlycanAge Test makes a difference.

The GlycanAge Test is a scientifically advanced tool that measures your biological age by analyzing specific sugar molecules called glycans that are attached to immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies. These glycans play a direct role in regulating immune system function and inflammation—two key drivers of how well (or poorly) your body ages. It provides a precise snapshot of your “immune aging,” placing it within our Advanced Lab Testing services.

Unlike other tests that merely estimate lifespan, GlycanAge focuses on healthspan, showing how well your body is aging internally. It helps you understand the impact of your lifestyle, environment, and genetics on your immune health and overall aging process.

Why GlycanAge Is Different

Most aging tests rely on markers like telomere length or epigenetic changes. While these can provide some insight, GlycanAge takes a more functional and dynamic approach, looking at the immune system—a central player in aging and disease.

By analyzing IgG glycans, this test can:

• Reveal immune system aging, which may differ from your chronological age

• Show the presence of chronic, low-grade inflammation that accelerates aging

• Reflect how recent lifestyle changes are impacting your healthspan

This makes GlycanAge a powerful tool not just for understanding where you are today but for tracking improvements over time as you implement healthier habits.

Who Should Consider the GlycanAge Test?

This test is ideal for anyone who wants to gain a deeper understanding of their true biological age and take control of their aging process. It’s particularly beneficial for:

• Individuals focused on longevity and healthy aging

• Those interested in chronic disease prevention and immune resilience

• People making lifestyle changes, such as new diets, exercise routines, or stress management techniques, and want to measure their impact

• Anyone managing chronic stress, inflammation, or metabolic challenges

• Individuals curious about how genetics, environment, and lifestyle combine to influence their healthspan

Whether you’re just beginning a wellness journey or are already dedicated to optimizing your health, GlycanAge provides personalized insights that help you take meaningful action. After testing, the Gut Health & Nutrient Optimization Program supports tailored wellness strategies, while a Consultation with Our Expert provides clarity on results and actionable protocols.

Why Biological Age Matters

Your biological age can be younger—or older—than your actual age. Two people of the same chronological age can have very different levels of immune health, inflammation, and resilience.

Understanding your biological age allows you to:

• Identify hidden risks related to immune aging and chronic inflammation

• Adjust your diet, exercise, and stress management strategies more effectively

• Track the impact of interventions like functional medicine protocols or lifestyle changes

• Focus on improving healthspan, not just lifespan

With GlycanAge, you’re not guessing—you’re working with data that reflects how your body is truly aging inside.

Unlike other biological age tests, GlycanAge is responsive to lifestyle changes (diet, stress, sleep, exercise) and backed by over 30 years of research with population-based validation. This makes it ideal for tracking improvements over time. Discover complementary diagnostics like GI‑MAP or adrenal panels on our Advanced Lab Testing page.

Benefits of the GlycanAge Test

• Immune System Insight: Understand how your immune system is aging, beyond what you can see or feel.

• Inflammation Monitoring: Detect and track chronic low-grade inflammation, a root cause of many age-related diseases.

• Lifestyle Feedback: Get clear, measurable feedback on how diet, exercise, sleep, and stress management affect your biological age.

• Motivation for Change: Seeing real results from your wellness efforts helps keep you on track.

A Smarter Approach to Aging

Healthy aging isn’t about waiting for symptoms or disease—it’s about being proactive. By learning how your body is responding to your current lifestyle, you can make targeted changes that improve resilience, energy, and long-term vitality.
