Description
Know your biological age, beyond the years since you were born. GlycanAge is an at-home test that measures how your body is really aging by looking at chronic inflammation, one of the central drivers of how we age. A few drops of blood from a simple finger-prick reveal your biological age and how your daily life is shaping it at a molecular level.
What GlycanAge Measures
Most numbers tell you your chronological age. GlycanAge looks at something else: glycans on your immunoglobulin G (IgG). These molecules reflect the level of chronic, low-grade inflammation in your body, which is closely tied to how you age and how your immune system is doing. The test analyzes 29 glycan structures grouped into 5 indexes to calculate your biological age.
Why It Matters
Unlike your chronological age, your biological age can move. Glycans respond to changes in sleep, stress, nutrition, exercise, and hormones, often within 3 to 6 months. That makes GlycanAge a way to set a baseline, make changes, and see whether they are working over time.
How It Works
- Order and receive your kit. Everything you need arrives in one box, with no clinic visit required.
- Collect your sample at home. A quick finger-prick gives 4 drops of blood. No fasting or special preparation needed.
- Mail it back. Return your sample to the lab using the materials included in the kit.
- See your results. Your personalized report is ready about 2 weeks after the lab receives your sample, in your Kove account.
Your kit arrives with a QR code inside. Scan it and complete a short form to register your kit before you collect your sample. Registration is what links your sample to you, and the lab can't analyze it until that's done. Your results then appear in your Kove account.
What You Get
- Your biological age result
- A breakdown of 5 glycan health indexes
- The lifestyle factors influencing your result
- A clear summary of suggested next steps
- A personalized PDF report you can view and download in your Kove account
Who It Is For
GlycanAge is for anyone who wants to understand their long-term health trajectory and take a preventive, data-led approach to aging. It suits people setting a baseline, navigating a hormonal transition such as menopause or andropause, or wanting to see how their lifestyle changes are landing.
Good to Know
- For adults 18 and over.
- Results are typically ready about 2 weeks after the lab receives your sample. Allow up to 4 weeks total including shipping.
- No fasting or preparation required.
- This test is for wellness and informational purposes and is not a diagnostic tool. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. If you take blood-thinning medication or have a blood clotting disorder, check with your healthcare provider before testing.
Backed by more than a decade of glycobiology research, GlycanAge brings biological age testing into your routine as part of the Signal layer at Kove.
Is this right for you?
You'll get the most from it if
- You respond to numbers more than vibes; one tracked figure keeps you accountable between retests.
- Needles are only a minor hurdle for you; it is a self-administered finger-prick, not a lab blood draw.
- Budget for at least two tests; a single result is a snapshot, and the value shows up on the retest.
- Reading a detailed report is a feature to you, not homework; the results come with real depth.
Maybe look elsewhere if
- You want instant feedback; this is a mail in lab test, so allow up to 4 weeks end to end.
- You want organ level detail and a pace of aging number from the same drop of blood; the TruAge Epigenetic Test reports both.

Why It Matters
Why Test Your Biological Age?
Your age in years counts birthdays. A different number can reflect what is happening inside, and unlike your birthday, it can move.
Most chronic disease builds quietly for years, driven by chronic inflammation, long before any symptom appears. A standard checkup mostly catches things once they already show up, which is exactly why it helps to see what is happening sooner.

U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
Research links the glycan changes GlycanAge measures to shifts in health that can begin years before symptoms appear. A way to see your biology, not a diagnosis.
A Number That Can Move
Your chronological age only counts birthdays. Your biological age reflects what is happening inside, and unlike the calendar, it can shift over time.
Your Habits Show Up
Glycans respond to sleep, stress, nutrition, exercise, and hormones, often within 3-6 months. Set a baseline, make changes, and re-test to see whether they are landing.
At-Home Baseline
One finger-prick at home, then watch the number respond to the changes you make.

Seeing how I wake up every day feeling energised, I truly know that everything I’m doing is right and supports my goals.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the GlycanAge test measure?
The GlycanAge test measures your biological age by analyzing glycans on your immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies, which reflect chronic, low-grade inflammation. The lab reads 29 glycan structures grouped into 5 indexes to calculate the result. Unlike your chronological age, this number can move, because glycans respond to sleep, stress, nutrition, exercise and hormones.
How do you take the GlycanAge test at home?
GlycanAge takes 4 drops of blood from a finger-prick onto a collection card, with no fasting or preparation. First scan the QR code inside the kit and register it, since the lab cannot analyze an unregistered sample. Let the card air dry, seal it in the bag provided and mail it back in the return envelope. The kit includes 3 lancets, 2 alcohol wipes, gauze and 2 bandages.
How long do GlycanAge results take, and what is in the report?
GlycanAge results are typically ready about 2 weeks after the lab receives your sample; allow up to 4 weeks in total including shipping. The report appears in your Kove account as a PDF you can download, and it shows your biological age, a breakdown of 5 glycan health indexes, the lifestyle factors influencing your result and suggested next steps.
Where do GlycanAge results go if I order a kit for someone else?
GlycanAge results go to the Kove account of the email used at checkout, and each kit on the order shows its own status and report. Results cannot move to a different email after ordering, so buy a gift kit on a separate order with the recipient's email. Sign in with that same email; a Google or Facebook sign-in must use it too, or results will not appear. Questions: support@kovelongevity.com.
How often should I retest with GlycanAge?
Many people retest GlycanAge every 3 to 6 months, because glycans can shift within that window after a change in sleep, stress, nutrition or exercise. Setting a baseline and then retesting is how you see whether your changes are landing. A single result is a snapshot, so budget for at least two tests.
Is GlycanAge a diagnostic test, and who should not take it?
GlycanAge is a wellness and informational test, not a diagnostic tool, and it is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. It is for adults 18 and over. If you take blood-thinning medication or have a blood clotting disorder, check with your healthcare provider before testing. Unopened, unused kits can be returned within 60 days of delivery.

Our approach
Every product earns its place.
No single thing changes your biology on its own. What matters is the system, and whether each piece earns its place. Here is how a device makes it into Kove.
01
Start with the evidence
Where there is research behind how something works, we read it. We look at the real mechanism a device relies on, like the wavelength, the frequency, or the dose, and whether the evidence holds up. Substance comes before marketing, and we are honest about how strong that evidence is.
02
Separate mechanism from marketing
A claim is not a mechanism. We check a device's real output against its stated one: does the panel emit the 660 and 850nm it advertises, at the irradiance that makes those numbers matter? The marketing language gets set aside. The measurable spec is what we judge.
03
Verify build and dose
Even a good idea does nothing if the hardware is weak. We confirm the output is consistent, the dose is usable in a real daily routine, and the build holds up over years, because a device only helps if it lasts as long as the habit.
04
Held to one standard
What clears every step earns its place in the system, held to the same standard as everything else. That consistency is what you can count on.
