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!
