Links Essential Nutrients Since 1996, Harper's Biochemistry has included an entire chapter on glycoproteins that are essential for cellular communication. These biologic sugars are: Fucose, Xylose, Mannose, Galactose, Glucose, N-Acetyl Galactosamine, N-Acetyl Glucosamine and N-Acetyl Neurominic Acid also known as Scialic Acid. Science has established that there is a deficiency in six of the eight sugars that are required for our cells to communicate properly. Only by supplementing with glyconutrients can you address this deficiency and give your body the building blocks it needs to repair, restore, regenerate and yes, heal. |
Scientific Research Backing Glyconutrition There are over 20,000 studies conducted annually on glycoforms alone. Researchers from universities Oxford and John Hopkins and major pharmaceutical companies realize the importance of this new discovery. Pharmaceutical companies are spending millions to try and synthesize these sugars and produce drugs that will mimick the effect they have in nature. (In the meanwhile, we just use them in their natural form and see wonderful results. READ ON!) Studies confirm that the eight essential biologically active sugars can accomplish amazing results. The following are just a few examples of the exciting possibilities of Glyconutrition: • Dramatically raises natural killer cell and macrophage count against infectious organisms. • Activates immune T-cell activity only when invaders or antigens are present. • Decreases cell death in chronic fatigue syndrome. • Dramatically elevates disease resistance in weakened individuals. • Acts as antioxidant compounds, which boost the collection of dangerous free radicals. • Protects the body against toxin and pollutant exposure. • Slows premature aging. • Decreases inflammation in diseases like rheumatoid arthritis. • Helps immune cells recognize invaders due to a mutual "sugar exchange" of information. • Enables cellular components to stick to each other initiating the right reactions. |
