GlycanAge Biological Age Test

Know your biological age, not just 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 deeper, at 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 actually see whether they are working over time.

How It Works

1. Order and receive your kit. Everything you need arrives in one box, with no clinic visit required.
2. Collect your sample at home. A quick finger-prick gives 4 drops of blood. No fasting or special preparation needed.
3. Mail it back. Return your sample to the lab using the materials included in the kit.
4. See your results. Your personalized report is ready about 2 weeks after the lab receives your sample, in your secure online dashboard.

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 and an online dashboard to track changes over time

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.
