Restore Your Health With Glyconutrients

Glyconutrients is part of a new emerging area of nutritional supplements supported by a science, which your Doctor may not have heard about. Since their discovery they have created quite mixed feelings, as they are revolutionising healthcare. In less than 10 years, the science of glycobiology (the study of glyconutrients) had exploded to become one of the ?hottest? new fields of medical and nutritional research. This discovery has been hailed as ?one of the ten technologies that will change the world? (MIT review 2003).

Globally, the average person has some rather grim things to look forward to. Today more than 50% of the population WILL die as a direct result of preventable illness, like Diabetes, Heart Disease, Cancer and Autoimmune Diseases. Supplementation with glyconutrients may be a startling answer to this health crisis.

So what are they? Glyconutrients are a completely new class of nutrients and unlike other supplements they provide the essential monosaccharides (plant sugars), which address the fundamental structure of the body, our cells. According to science all disease starts at the cellular level and can be directly linked to the degradation of our body's ability to communicate from cell-to-cell. Scientists now know that cells communicate through a group of eight glyconutrients, which extend off the surface of every cell in our body. When two cells of any type touch, the glycoforms on each cell actually speak to one another through their intricate codes.

Communication is necessary for recognition of foreign invades such as toxins, viruses, bacteria etc. and to heal and repair damaged cells. Therefore if there is a communication breakdown disease can set up in the body. In addition to cellular communication, there is evidence that new stem cells appear in the body once glyconutrients have been added to the diet. This demonstrates the enormous healing power of the glyconutrients in the body.

Unfortunately, the medical community looks at the body as something that needs to be added to rather then simply improving the 'conditions' from which optimal health can develop. They add pharmaceutical chemicals to deal with the body's manifestation of disease, rather than looking at the body's fundamental biochemistry.

The eight identified essential glyconutrients include-
GLUCOSE, which is readily available in our diets (converted from white sugar, fructose, and starchy foods) and in most cases is oversupplied in the form of sugar cane, rice, corn, potatoes, wheat, etc.

GALACTOSE, which is also readily available in our diets. It is obtained from the conversion of lactose (milk sugar) and is also easily obtained from dairy products unless you suffer from lactose intolerance or are a vegetarian who does not eat dairy products.

FUCOSE is not readily available in our diets. It has numerous well-documented benefits for the immune system and has been shown to inhibit some cancer growth and metastasis.

MANNOSE is not readily available in our diets. The most popular source is Aloe Vera. It is absolutely vital to proper immune defences against microbial invaders and has a natural and powerful anti-inflammatory effect.

XYLOSE is not readily available in our diets. It also has known anti-bacterial and fungal properties and may help prevent certain cancers.

N-ACETYL-NEURAMINIC ACID is not readily available in our diets. It, too, boosts immune function and has documented anti-viral actions.

N-ACETYL-GLUCOSAMINE is not readily available in our diets. It is particularly beneficial for cartilage regeneration and joint inflammation.

N-ACETYL-GALACTOSAMINE is not readily available in our diets. It is the least known of the essential glyconutrients although it appears to inhibit the growth of some tumors and, like the other glyconutrients, plays an individual role in keeping cellular messages clear and promptly delivered.

As your body is missing six of these essential eight you need to supplement with a supplement that contains all the essential glyconutrients which work together to restore and maintain your health. In fact, if you don't supplement your diet with these essential nutrients you are not giving your immune system the proper tools with which to fight off all of the harmful things we inevitably face today.

In Summary
Glycobiology and the application of glyconutrients are at the forefront of medicine and nutritional science with thousands of studies and articles having been published in the last few years. To find your path to wellness, you must first understand and accept the most basic truths about your health. Your body can only function properly when it receives each and every day, all of the nutrition it requires. When you feed the body what it needs it can deal with health issues and prevent recurrences and fend off other health issues which inevitably come along, including attacks on your health from the environment.

By adding a simple supplement of Glyco-nutrients to our diets, we can provide our bodies with the material to restore cell-to-cell communication and this can lead to the defeat of some of our societies most feared killers.
