The questionnaire that you may choose to complete as part of your GlycanAge test will be used to analyze and interpret your results. We would kindly ask that you be as accurate as possible in providing your responses. Inaccurate responses may impact the informational value of our observations.

The GlycanAge test is not a medical diagnostic test and should never be relied upon to diagnose or treat a disease or illness. We encourage you to discuss your results with your qualified health advisor if you have questions or concerns arising from your biological age test.
