Anti-Glycation Agents

Meaning

These are compounds, either pharmaceutical or derived from natural sources, employed clinically to inhibit or slow the process of glycation, which is the non-enzymatic bonding of sugars to proteins or lipids. Glycation results in the formation of Advanced Glycation End products (AGEs), known contributors to age-related tissue stiffness and chronic disease pathology. Utilizing these agents is a preventative measure to preserve structural integrity and cellular function.
