Your longevity guide to Globulin.

Discover the role of Globulin in your health and longevity with Mito Health's advanced biomarker analysis. Our detailed reports cover key biomarkers, providing essential insights to help you make informed decisions for a healthier, longer life.

What is Globulin?

Globulin is a group of proteins found in the blood, consisting mainly of antibodies, enzymes, and other proteins involved in various bodily functions.

‍

Alpha and beta globulins transport lipids and metal ions, while gamma globulins, also known as immunoglobulins or antibodies, play a critical role in the immune system's defence against pathogens.

What does it assess?

Globulin levels are closely linked to healthspan as they serve as a marker of immune function and overall health.

‍

Optimal globulin levels are essential for maintaining a healthy immune system and protecting against infections and diseases.

How do I optimize my Globulin levels?

Tip 1

A balanced diet rich in vitamins A, C, and E, along with adequate protein intake, can support healthy immune function and maintain globulin levels.

‍

Foods like citrus fruits, nuts, seeds, and lean meats are beneficial.

‍

Tip 2

Since globulin production is tied to liver function, supporting liver health through reduced alcohol intake, a balanced diet, and regular exercise may help regulate globulin.

‍

Tip 3

Chronic inflammation can elevate globulin levels. Anti-inflammatory strategies, such as eating omega-3-rich foods like fatty fish and managing stress, can help in managing inflammation.

What do high and low Globulin levels mean?

High globulin levels may be seen in conditions such as chronic inflammation, infections, or certain cancers.

‍

Low globulin levels can indicate immune deficiencies, liver disease, kidney disease, malnutrition, or autoimmune disorders. Chronic low globulin levels may increase the risk of infections, autoimmune diseases, and other health issues that can impact healthspan.
