GlycanAge

In the Milojević Polyclinic, you can now find out how old you really are

They say that age is just a number, and it's not just a phrase. Research has shown that an increasing number of people worldwide live much longer compared to previous years, and having 100 candles on a birthday cake is no longer just a matter of luck or genetics. According to doctors, about two-thirds of our longevity is under our control. The key lies in a healthy lifestyle, which not only affects longevity but also functional status. In other words, the lives of older people today can be much better and of higher quality.

When we talk about a person's age, we recognize biological and chronological age. It is known that biological age does not necessarily match an individual's chronological age. The difference is caused by either slowed or accelerated aging. Due to this fact, biological age represents a better indicator of overall health and the aging process than chronological age. Also, you can finally find out how many candles exactly you can put on your next birthday cake.

You can now unequivocally discover what your body tells you for the first time. The best way to experience a pleasant and long life is by monitoring your health throughout your life, and GlycanAge enables you to do just that. Take control in your hands and say YES to changes!

Why is GlycanAge beneficial?

GlycanAge reveals the age of your immune system. Understanding your own body encourages change, so it is time to take your health into your own hands.

GlycanAge is a perfect indicator if you are making lifestyle changes, improving it, and if you believe in the saying "prevention is better than cure." You want to age healthily because you care about your health and longevity, and you want to measure how successful you are in doing so. It is also useful if you have experienced a stressful life event (illness, loss of a loved one) and your goal is to return to normal function.

Whether you are measuring the limits of your body and want an indicator of your success and your training to be effective, you are simply curious about what your glycans say about your lifestyle, or maybe you want to compare your biological age with friends, colleagues, or family - GlycanAge is what you need.

GlycanAge is a patented and scientifically supported test that determines biological age by analyzing a unique profile of complex carbohydrates (glycans) bound to the most abundant antibody in our blood, immunoglobulin G (IgG). The first study linking N-glycosylation of IgG with aging became available online in 2013, around the same time as the first Horvath clock for epigenetic age, and was published in The Journals of Gerontology in 2014. The patent for the testing was initially filed by Genos doo, a private research institute founded by Prof. Dr. Gordan Lauc, with headquarters in Osijek and its main research facility in Zagreb. The ownership of the patent was later transferred to GlycanAge Ltd, a biotech start-up based in the United Kingdom (and a sister company of Genos), which turned the scientific discoveries into the commercial GlycanAge test.

GlycanAge is intended for adults aged 20 to 80 years. It should not be performed on children because their IgG glycosylation profile significantly differs from that of adults, which is why 20 years is set as the lowest measurable biological age. The baseline value for biological aging is adjusted to the age limit of 80 years, which is also the highest biological age that the test can measure. However, for anyone who is 80 years or older, the test is inaccurate because it can only measure a lower, but not a higher, biological age.

GlycanAge is a simple and safe pin-prick test that requires only four drops of blood, and when carefully following the instructions, it does not pose any danger to the client.

If it turns out that your chronological age is lower than your biological age, Polyclinic Milojević has an appropriate response - Nuchido TIME+ capsules, which are not aimed at extending lifespan. Instead, their commitment is to extend the person’s healthspan. This supplement is a combination of vitamins, botanicals, and supporting ingredients.

Nuchido is a group of scientists, doctors, futurists, and visionaries who believe that the greatest gifts of science to humanity are health and long life. They also believe that this new luxury brings great opportunities and the responsibility to live our best lives. Their mission is to use science and translate it into products for maximum healthspan and optimal life experience.

While it may seem appealing to most, living longer comes with many new challenges, including mental and physical decline, illness, and potential dependency on family, friends, and society.

Healthspan is the period of our lives that we spend in good health, with energy, vitality, strength, and mental sharpness. Instead of spending 45 out of our 90 years in good health, Nuchido's vision for humanity is one in which we maintain the ability to fulfill our purpose and continue to live life to the fullest in our later decades.

In short, Nuchido TIME+ not only supplies cells with the raw materials to produce NAD+[1] (a key molecule in all cells that generates cellular energy and converts nutrients into cellular energy) but also enhances a cell's youthful ability to produce and recycle NAD+.

Scientific studies have shown that replenishing NAD+ levels is crucial for maintaining cellular defense against daily stressors, enabling you to maintain a healthy, active lifestyle. It improves cellular health and addresses aging.

The effects of Nuchido TIME+ capsules also have a beneficial effect on the skin by recycling damaged skin cells, improving the pathways for collagen and elastin production, and protecting against DNA damage.

As we age, the level of NAD+ produced in the body decreases, halving roughly every twenty years. This means that by the time we reach our 40s, we start to feel the effects of reduced cellular function. With declining NAD+ levels, cells cannot function as effectively as before.

For this reason, purchasing a supplement that enhances a cell's ability to create and recycle NAD+ can help you maintain a proactive approach to maintaining health and fitness as you age. NAD+ cannot be obtained through proper nutrition. It must be produced within our cells, and Nuchido TIME+ capsules restore it to desirable levels. They are suitable for all age groups.

Nuchido TIME+ capsules are available to you at Polyclinic Milojević as the perfect response and effective solution in case your GlycanAge test of biological age indicates that you should add a few more candles to your next birthday cake.
