Glycocheck™
Revitalize your Blood Vessels
GlycoCheck™ is a non-invasive medical device used to analyze the microvascular health by examining the glycocalyx. The glycocalyx is a microscopic gel-like layer that lines the endothelium (inner wall) of blood vessels and is crucial for vascular health.
nurture your capillaries from the inside out
Your microvascular and capillary system holds the key to vibrant health, but it may need your attention. Hidden within your body’s smallest blood vessels—your microscopic capillaries—lies an opportunity to prevent future health challenges.
Taking steps to support your microvascular system can ensure your organs continue receiving the nutrients they need to thrive. By addressing potential issues early, you can safeguard your body from the silent challenges that might otherwise lead to health concerns.
Nourish your organs to prevent disease
-
Diabetes
A healthy microvascular system is important for transport of glucose from blood to organs.
High blood glucose damages (micro) vascular system and causes blindness, kidney failure, heart attack and stroke. -
Hypertension
Hypertension is associated with loss of microvascular density. Hypertension increases cardiovascular risk (heart attack, stroke, kidney failure).
-
Heart Disease
Loss of microvascular density causes heart attack. Insufficient number of capillaries per heart muscle fiber impairs heart pump function (heart failure).
-
Kidney Disease
Damage of microvessels causes leakage of blood proteins into urinary space, damage of renal filtration units and kidney failure.
-
Stroke
Damage to vascular wall causes blood clots. Microvascular damage causes White Matter Lesions with poor neurological prognosis.
-
Inflammatory Disorders
Attack of microvascular system by inflammatory cells results in loss of capillaries. Increased capillary permeability causes tissue edema.
-
Septic Shock
Leaky microvessels result in loss of blood plasma volume to tissue space. Damaged vascular wall causes increased blood clotting and inflammation.
-
Compromised Immunity
Attack of microvascular system by inflammatory cells results in loss of capillaries. Increased capillary permeability causes tissue edema.
-
Cancer Metastasis
Leaky micro-vessels allow tumor cells to enter the vascular system and redistribute to different parts of our body, causing tumor metastasis (secondary tumors).

How it works
1. Administration
To use GlycoCheck™, a specialized video microscope is placed under the tongue. This location is chosen because the capillaries here are close to the surface and easy to access.
2. Capture
Once the microscope is in place, it captures real-time, high-resolution video images of blood flow in the capillaries. These images are then analyzed using advanced software.
3. Measure
GlycoCheck™ measures the Microvascular Health Score (MVHS), which reflects the condition of the glycocalyx. It does this by assessing factors like the perfused boundary region (PBR), which indicates how deep red blood cells can penetrate the glycocalyx. Deeper penetration indicates more glycocalyx damage.
A Solution for Circulation
ReVasca™ is a scientifically formulated nutraceutical designed to support the full spectrum of your circulatory system. While other supplements focus on just 1% of your vascular system—the heart and large veins—ReVasca™ targets 100%, including the microvessels and the endothelial glycocalyx, a delicate protective lining within your blood vessels.
