The most accurate biological age test

At-home IgG glycan biological-age test for immune aging and inflammation, with a specialist call included

About

GlycanAge is a UK-based at-home biological-age test built around IgG glycomics, the study of sugar molecules attached to Immunoglobulin G antibodies. Its test uses a finger-prick blood sample to estimate immune aging and chronic-inflammation patterns through the company's Glycan Clock of Aging. The science traces back to Prof. Gordan Lauc's Genos lab and University of Zagreb work, while the company is family-founded: Gordan is CSO, Nikolina Lauc is CEO, and Filip Lauc is CTO. The consumer experience is intentionally focused: order the kit, collect at home, receive the report online, then review it in a 40-minute 1:1 specialist call included with every plan.

What to Know

Signature approach

GlycanAge focuses on one biological signal instead of trying to be a broad lab panel. The test measures IgG glycan structures that shift with immune regulation and inflammation, then converts that pattern into a biological-age estimate. That narrow science is paired with a more guided user experience: every single-test or subscription order includes a specialist interpretation call, so the result is framed around trend tracking and next questions instead of a stand-alone number.

What sets them apart

  • IgG glycomics focus. GlycanAge is built around antibody glycan patterns, a different signal from DNA methylation clocks, microbiome tests, or standard blood-marker composites.
  • Research lineage. The method comes from Gordan Lauc's Genos and University of Zagreb glycomics work, with validation claims tied to 300,000+ samples and academic collaborations.
  • Interpretation included. The 40-minute specialist call is bundled into every plan, including the one-time test.
  • Family-led execution. Science, company leadership, and technology are held by the Lauc family founding team.

Before You Book

  • Pick cadence first. The kit and report are the same across plans; choose single, annual, or 6-month testing based on how closely you want to track change.
  • Use it as one signal. GlycanAge gives an immune-aging/inflammation view. Pair it with standard labs or clinician care when you need broader metabolic, hormone, cardiovascular, or disease-specific context.
  • Plan for self-pay. US HSA/FSA funds may apply, but traditional insurance billing is not part of the purchase flow.
  • Check shipping timing. GlycanAge ships to 65+ countries from a UK-based operation, so transit and customs can matter for international users.

Pricing

Starting at

$449/mo

Annual plan price per test; single test is $499/mo and 6-month cadence is $424/mo/test with two tests

Typical annual investment

Membership range estimate before any optional add-ons.

What this range includesMembership tiers, testing cadence, and common add-on examples.

Most users land between one annual test at $449/mo and two 6-month-cadence tests at $848/yr. A one-off purchase is $499/yr if someone wants only a single snapshot.

In practiceAdd-ons, payment details, and coverage limits.

A single GlycanAge test is $499/yr The annual plan lowers that to $449/mo/test, and the 6-month cadence is $424/mo/test with two tests across the year. Every option includes the same kit, report, glycan profile, and 40-minute 1:1 specialist call, so the real decision is cadence more than product depth. US buyers can use HSA/FSA funds; traditional insurance billing is not offered.

Frequently asked questions

What does GlycanAge measure that other biological age tests don't?

GlycanAge measures glycan patterns attached to Immunoglobulin G antibodies. Those patterns shift with immune aging and chronic inflammation, giving users a biological-age signal from a different layer of biology than DNA methylation clocks or standard blood-chemistry composites.

How much does the test cost and is insurance accepted?

A single test is $499/mo The 6-month plan is $424/mo/test and the 12-month plan is $449/mo/test. Every option includes a 40-minute 1:1 specialist call. The test is self-pay, with HSA/FSA eligibility in the US.

How often should I retest?

GlycanAge is most useful as a trend tool. The 6-month cadence fits active intervention periods, while annual testing fits a baseline-plus-follow-up rhythm. Both subscription plans cancel anytime.

Is GlycanAge a diagnostic test?

GlycanAge is a wellness and monitoring test, not a disease-diagnosis tool. Use it to understand immune-aging trends, then bring any health decisions back to a licensed clinician.

Where does GlycanAge ship and how is the sample collected?

GlycanAge ships to 65+ countries. The kit uses a home finger-prick blood sample with four drops on a collection card, then the sample is mailed back for lab analysis.
