Most of us have been taught that we need only three groups of nutrients to maintain proper wellness. Traditional nutrition education taught that we not only had to eat right, but we also had to make sure we consumed sufficient essential vitamins and minerals, plus essential fatty acids and amino acids.
However, we now know that we also need glyconutrients, since they are essential to cell-to-cell communication and immune system support. Without cell-to-cell communication, immune function is impaired. We can read and hear about vitamins, minerals and herbals all day long, but without optimal cell-to-cell communication, none of them can work effectively.
Much scientific data now exists about the various areas of glycoscience. Research findings have been published in respected publications—from highly technical, peerreviewed international journals like Acta Anatomica to the pinnacle of success when it comes to scientific publication—
Science, the official journal of the American Academy of Science. Glycobiology and carbohydrates were the major topics of the March 2001 issue of Science. Glyconutrients—First on the “Most Wanted” List We have learned that glyconutrients are far more important than any other kind of dietary supplement.
Every cell in every system of every human organ requires these eight saccharides. Evidence suggests that glyconutrients are the only dietary supplement that can be supportive and helpful in virtually every function of the body.
In addition, glyconutrients have been scientifically shown to work as immune modulators rather than immune stimulators— making them ideal for a person’s immune system regardless of individual health issues.
Good Health’s “Missing Link” Compelling new evidence shows that consuming dietary saccharides can result in numerous health benefits. While science has only begun to understand the body’s use of saccharides, we’ve already learned some very intriguing facts.
