“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.

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

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:
- Increases the amount of natural killer cells and macrophage against infectious organisms
- Stimulates immune T-cell activity when invaders are present
- Decrease in cell death in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
- Increased disease resistance in run down people
- Increased Antioxidant activity
- Protection against toxins and pollutants
- Retards premature aging
- Decreased inflammation
- Assists cell recognition of ‘invaders’
- 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! Read More......

New Scientific Validation for Glyconutrients
Beginning 15 September 2009 The Royal Society of Medicine held a 3 day event called the 9th Jenner Glycobiology and Medicine Symposium. There were eight separate studies presented with the latest scientific findings regarding the effect of glyconutrients within the body. Two of those papers focused on the only complete glyconutrient blend that can be purchased as a supplement. This product was in fact validated by the studies in ways which far exceeded the previous claims regarding the supplement.
The new studies proved beyond doubt that the addition of glyconutrients to your diet does assist with cell to cell communication – it does glycosylate your cells. This means that your cells are functioning correctly, your tissues and organs are healthier and so are you! It helps to nourish, control and support every cell in your body, something that no vitamin, mineral, amino acid or herbal can do.
The results showed that glycoprotein synthesis can be changed by nutrition: that glyconutritional supplementation is something we all could do to support our immune system thus impacting our general health and wellbeing.
