What are AGEs (Advanced Glycation End-products)?

AGEs are byproducts formed when sugars react with proteins and lipids over time. They accumulate in collagen, vascular walls, and skin tissues, and are widely regarded as a cumulative data indicator of aging and metabolic pressure. Elevated values indicate higher glycation pressure over recent months.

If my blood sugar is normal, do I still need an AGEs test?

Yes. AGEs reflect not just current blood sugar, but the combined assessment of blood sugar regulation, dietary cooking methods, and antioxidant capacity. Even with normal fasting glucose values, long-term high-temperature cooking, sedentary lifestyle, and chronic stress can elevate AGEs values.

What does an elevated AGEs value mean?

Elevated AGEs are associated with skin collagen glycation (dullness, elasticity changes), vascular structural changes, and insulin signaling pathways. It serves as a 'cumulative data indicator' of biological aging — reflecting glycation pressure built up over recent months.

Can AGEs values change over time?

Research literature indicates that with combined intervention (dietary cooking adjustments, blood sugar regulation, antioxidant nutrient supplementation, and regular exercise), serum AGEs values can show significant changes within months (Source: Diabetes Care, 2011). Individual results vary; please consult with your physician.

AGEs Advanced Glycation End-products Analysis

NT$ 50

Skin starting to look dull, elasticity fading, blood sugar values still within normal range — yet you can't pinpoint what's actually changing your aging-related indicators? This may not be simply "getting older," but Advanced Glycation End-products (AGEs) quietly accumulating in your collagen, vascular walls, and skin tissues. The AGEs Analysis uses a blood sample to reflect the combined performance of three axes over recent months — dietary cooking methods, blood sugar regulation, and antioxidant capacity — clarifying whether your body is functioning steadily or whether glycation pressure has already been building up silently.

AGEs Advanced Glycation End-products

AGEs are byproducts formed when sugars react with proteins and lipids over time, accumulating in collagen, vascular walls, skin, and neural tissues. Elevated values reflect higher glycation pressure over recent months and correlate with blood sugar regulation, dietary cooking methods, antioxidant capacity, and overall aging-related indicators. Research literature identifies AGEs as an independent indicator for tracking metabolic-related biomarkers.
