Would you take a test to find out how old your immunity is, how old you really are on the inside? Perhaps you are a midlifer with an inner teen or, on the other hand, your shiny chassis might actually be hiding an old banger.
Well, thanks to a new home blood test kit, you can.
The glycanage test, designed by Professor Gordan Lauc, honorary professor of molecular biology at King’s College London, measures sugar molecules called glycans, a key part of our immune system. They can either be pro-inflammatory (cause inflammation) or anti-inflammatory.
A strong immune system needs both. However, as we get older the balance becomes skewed and we have more of the inflammation-causing glycans. This creates a constant low-level inflammation that damages all our tissues, cleverly known as ‘inflammageing’.
