A cell is the building block of all living organisms. The deterioration of cell functions is the cause of most symptoms of senescence, such as decreased immune function, loss of muscle mass, skin ageing, and age-related neurological disorders.

Observing the body's condition at a cellular level is a good predictor of our ageing rate.

When we are young, glycans are usually primarily anti-inflammatory.

Later in life, glycans become unbalanced due to multiple physiological causes, and they ultimately lose the capacity to suppress low-grade inflammation, also called inflammageing.

Glycans, being closely related to ageing, are a great indicator of both your immune system condition and biological ageing.

Immunoglobin G (IgG) is the most abundant antibody in our blood, and it is covered with sugar-chain structures called glycans. The glycan's shape can switch the IgG into either anti-inflammatory or pro-inflammatory mode.

Therefore, their normal functioning is essential for good immune system health.
