Inflammation Builds Quietly
Chronic, low-grade inflammation is associated with how the body ages. It tends to build slowly and is not something you can feel day to day.

Recommended pairing
GlycanAge sets a baseline and can register lifestyle shifts within 3 to 6 months. That's roughly the time many spend running a MitoPRO+ panel for recovery, skin, and sleep, then retest and see it's landing.

Why it earns a place in the stack. Every other device in the stack changes something; this test tells you whether it worked. It reads glycans on your IgG antibodies, a marker of chronic inflammation that tracks with aging and shifts within months of real change. It met the same bar as everything here: a mechanism we can explain and results we stand behind after the sale.

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.

40%

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.
How It Works
From Kit To Insight In Four Steps
No clinic visit and no fasting. You collect a few drops of blood at home, mail it back, and read your results online. Here is the full path from order to insight.
1
Order And Receive Your Kit
Place your order and your kit arrives as one box. No clinic visit and no appointment to book.
2
Collect Your Sample At Home
A quick finger-prick gives about 4 drops of blood. No fasting and no prep required.
3
Mail It Back
Seal your sample and send it to the lab using the prepaid return materials included in the box.
4
See Your Results
Results are ready about 2 weeks after the lab receives your sample. Sign in to your Kove account to review them and download your PDF report.
Everything You Need, In One Box
Your kit includes the collection card, lancets, wipes, and prepaid return materials. Set your baseline, make changes, and re-test to see how they are landing. Glycans can respond to shifts in sleep, stress, nutrition, exercise, and hormones, often within 3-6 months.
Start Your BaselineWhy It Is Different
More than a number on a form.
| GlycanAge | A typical age check | |
|---|---|---|
| What it measures | Chronic inflammation via your IgG glycans, a root driver of how you age | A snapshot of standard markers |
| What it tells you | One biological age you can actually act on | Isolated values, without a clear story |
| Moves with your habits | Yes, over 3 to 6 months | Not built to track change over time |
| Built for re-testing | Yes, designed to track progress | Usually a one-off |
| Where you do it | At home, from a finger-prick | Often a clinic visit |
GlycanAge is a wellness measure, not a diagnostic or medical test.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is biological age different from my actual age, and what does GlycanAge actually measure?
Your chronological age counts the years since you were born, while your biological age reflects how your body is aging on the inside. GlycanAge measures this by analyzing glycans on your IgG antibodies, which track chronic, low-grade inflammation. It looks at 29 glycan structures grouped into 5 indexes to calculate your result.
What is involved in taking the test at home, and do I need to fast or prepare beforehand?
You collect 4 drops of blood from a quick finger-prick, then mail the sample back using the materials included in the kit. There is no fasting and no special preparation, so you can take it whenever it suits you.
How long does it take to get my results, and where do I see them?
Your personalized results are typically ready about 2 weeks after the lab receives your sample, and up to about 4 weeks total once you include shipping each way. You view everything in your Kove account, where you can also download your PDF report.
How often should I retest to see whether my lifestyle changes are working?
Because glycans respond to changes in areas like sleep, stress, nutrition, and exercise, many people retest every 3 to 6 months. Setting a baseline and then retesting is the best way to see how your changes are influencing your biological age over time.
Is GlycanAge a medical or diagnostic test, and is there anyone 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, please check with your healthcare provider before testing.
What will I actually see in my GlycanAge report?
Your report includes your biological age result, a breakdown of 5 glycan health indexes, the lifestyle factors influencing your result, and a clear summary of suggested next steps. It is designed to be easy to read and to give you a practical place to start.

Real Experiences
What People Are Saying
My 30+ plants experiment showed just how clearly diet shapes your biological age.
There was finally a physiological explanation to all the discussions around my sympathetic stress.
I was really surprised about my first result. The rise in my biological age reflected everything I was carrying beneath the surface.
After having surgery, I felt sluggish and quite unhappy at the body I was in. I had started my focus on nutrition and everything changed.
My first GlycanAge result was 38. I hoped for a better result and it got me thinking, what else could I be doing to be 25 biologically?
The grass is greener where you water it. I didn't wake up one day and implement all these changes, it went step by step.

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.
