Anti-Glycation Protocols

Meaning

Anti-Glycation Protocols are a specialized set of clinical and nutritional strategies focused on inhibiting the non-enzymatic reaction between reducing sugars and proteins or lipids, a process known as glycation. This biochemical reaction leads to the formation of Advanced Glycation End-products (AGEs), which are detrimental compounds that accumulate in tissues over time. The clinical objective is to reduce AGE formation, thereby protecting the structural integrity of proteins, including collagen and elastin, and preserving microvascular function. These protocols are crucial for maintaining tissue health and mitigating chronic inflammation.
