GlycanAge testing measures your biologic age.
What if you could truly understand your biological age? In the journey toward anti-aging and optimal health, knowing your GlycanAge is a game changer. This simple finger prick blood test offers profound insights into your biological age and how your lifestyle choices impact your health.
By measuring pro and anti-inflammatory glycans, this test reveals the delicate balance that affects our well-being. As we age, the shift in these complex sugar molecules can lead to chronic inflammation, a process known as Inflammaging, which accelerates aging and increases the risk of various diseases. Factors like diet, exercise, hormonal changes, and even environmental influences play significant roles in this balance.
The beauty of the GlycanAge test is its ability to guide your health journey. By retesting every 4-6 months, you can see how changes in your lifestyle or hormone therapies affect your biological age. This ongoing assessment empowers you to reinforce positive habits or reassess your current strategies.
Both men and women can benefit from this testing, and for women approaching menopause, obtaining a baseline test in their mid to late 40s is particularly beneficial. It provides critical insights during a transformative phase of life, helping to manage inflammation and hormonal shifts.
