Glycans and Biological Age: Why They Matter—and How You Can Act on It
Most people focus on the number of candles on their birthday cake—but what really matters is your biological age. That’s where glycans come in. These microscopic sugar molecules attached to your proteins offer a powerful way to measure—and even reverse—the effects of aging.
At KiyaLongevity.com, we help you understand your body at the cellular level and use that knowledge to improve how you feel, look, and perform—now and long term.
🧪 What Are Glycans, and Why Do They Matter?
Glycans are complex sugars that bind to proteins, especially Immunoglobulin G (IgG), affecting how your immune system functions and responds to inflammation.
Your glycan profile shifts as you age, stress, or get sick—and it’s measurable through what’s known as the glycan clock, a cutting-edge biomarker that reflects your biological—not chronological—age.
Studies show that a healthy glycan profile is associated with:
- Youthful immune response
- Lower chronic inflammation
- Better resilience against stress and environmental damage
- Slower aging on a molecular level
