If Glyconutrients Are So Important, Why Haven’t I Heard of Them?

“The problem is that all this information has not yet reached the main stream medical community in a form that makes it official for them. I believe that physicians will respond when they get the OK from their information resources. Maybe the educated public can influence the process by asking questions of physicians and presenting literature to stimulate their paradigm until they too become believers.” Dr Norman Peckham, MD
The average time that it takes for new discoveries to filter through to your local GP is 20 years. Glycobiology first made it into the Doctors text book, Harper’s Biochemistry, in 1996. So we still have a way to go in following this pattern until the knowledge and use of glyconutrients becomes widespread.
Instead we have to rely on a few enlightened individuals, both doctors and the general public, to ‘spread the word’ about the importance of adding glyconutrients to your diet. As yet the scientists have not even touched the tip of the iceberg as far as the precise benefits that can be achieved, it is the most exciting field of science today.

But My Body Can Make Glyconutrients!

Our bodies are amazing and yes they can make the glyconutrients that are missing in our diets but should they? What could our body be doing with the available nutrient building blocks that it has? Is this the most effective use?

There are so many questions that still remain unanswered but what we do know is that your body cannot make all of the missing glyconutrients. Sure we can compensate for the loss of a few of these vital sugars in our diet but remember most of us are only getting 2 of the 8 essential glyconutrients in our modern diets. That is a lot to make up for.

In fact at this point in time scientists can positively link 13 different medical conditions directly to our body’s inablility to convert all the glyconutrients that it needs for optimal health. Surely the well informed decision is to supplement these essential sugars if at all possible?

There is one proprietary glyconutrient blend available (and only one due to existing patents) in supplement form. When taken twice daily it provides our bodies with adequate amounts of essential glyconutrients and more besides. It has been formulated in a plant base so that our body recognises this supplement as food and can utilise the full benefit of the nutrition as it was designed to process food and not synthetic chemicals.

Make the informed choice – do you think your diet is deficient in glyconutrients?

Current Scientific Research on Glyconutrients

Glycobiology is at the cutting edge of science today. The race is on to break the ‘sugar code’! Independent scientists and pharmaceutical companies are involved in the over 20 000 studies annually conducted on glycoforms. All indications so far are that when the code is unravelled it will mean a huge step forward in both health and medicine.

So far some amazing results have been shown when glyconutrients are readily available by the body. There are 8 confirmed essential biological sugars or glyconutrients. Here is just a sample ‘Top Ten’ of results proven in completed studies:

1. Increases the amount of natural killer cells and macrophage against infectious organisms
2. Stimulates immune T-cell activity when invaders are present
3. Decrease in cell death in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
4. Increased disease resistance in run down people
5. Increased Antioxidant activity
6. Protection against toxins and pollutants
7. Retards premature aging
8. Decreased inflammation
9. Assists cell recognition of ‘invaders’
10. Enhances cellular ability to stick to each other and elicit the correct reaction.

It is well known and accepted that the ability of a healthy body to heal itself is extraordinary. However the flipside is also true – that when we do not give the body vital glyconutrients it will not effectively protect us from diseases and premature aging.

And this is yet the tip of the iceberg!
