GlycanAge analyzes IgG glycans, which are highly complex, branched molecules that require specialized laboratory methods, advanced equipment, and expert analysis. This makes the testing process more technically demanding than many standard DNA-based biological age tests. GlycanAge also performs multiple tests on each sample to maximize accuracy, and each test includes not only your report, but also a 40-minute one-to-one session with a specialist to help you understand your results and next steps. - [Personal Account](https://help.glycanage.com/personal-account?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Getting Started](https://help.glycanage.com/personal-account?hsLang=en#getting-started) - [Kit Registration](https://help.glycanage.com/personal-account?hsLang=en#kit-registration) - [Sample Collection](https://help.glycanage.com/personal-account?hsLang=en#sample-collection) - [Sample Return & Shipping](https://help.glycanage.com/personal-account?hsLang=en#sample-return-shipping) - [Results & Reports](https://help.glycanage.com/personal-account?hsLang=en#results-reports) - [Orders, Billing, Pricing & Subscriptions](https://help.glycanage.com/personal-account?hsLang=en#orders-billing-pricing-subscriptions) - [Account Access & Troubleshooting](https://help.glycanage.com/personal-account?hsLang=en#account-access-troubleshooting) - [Provider account](https://help.glycanage.com/provider-account?hsLang=en) - [General FAQ's](https://help.glycanage.com/general-faqs?hsLang=en#main-content) - [GlycanAge Kit, Sample & Analysis](https://help.glycanage.com/general-faqs?hsLang=en#glycanage-kit-sample-analysis) [![GlycanAge Logo High Resolution (1)](https://help.glycanage.com/hs-fs/hubfs/GlycanAge%20Logo%20High%20Resolution%20(1).png?width=200&height=51&name=GlycanAge%20Logo%20High%20Resolution%20(1).png "GlycanAge Logo High Resolution (1)")](https://glycanage.com) Copyright © 2025, GlycanAge
