Why do we need GlycoNutrients?

Glyconutrients are fast becoming common knowledge to both doctors and the general public. It is expected that in the near future, glyconutrients will become the standard care given by medical doctors for all auto-immune diseases. In fact, because of the published scientific data and references in the PDR (Physicians Desk Reference) doctors can now be held liable for malpractice if they do not use standard care treatment for the appropriate disease.

Glyconutrients are at the forefront of nutritional science and biochemistry research. They are not vitamins, minerals, herbals, homeopathics or enzymes. They are in a class all to themselves. They are supplements derived from nature that have been formulated based on a new understanding in biochemistry of how our bodies maintain health at the cellular level. This new discovery is as significant as the discovery of the role of vitamins, essential fatty acids, and amino acids in how the body functions.

The bad news is that we are only getting two of the eight monosaccharides (Glucose and Galactose) in our modern day diets. More and more researchers and informed doctors have concluded that this deficiency is one of the major contributing factors to our declining immune system function and the corresponding dramatic increase in disease.

Did you know that 30 years ago there were only four auto-immune diseases in the world? Today, there are about 87.

Think of it this way: If your eight cylinder car had only two cylinders running, how far would it go and how well would it work? It also wouldn't matter nor help, if you put the highest quality and highest octane gasoline. This comparison is the same for your body. If each of your cells needs 8 monosaccharides to properly run, how well do you think your cells are functioning and communicating with only 2?

If you are concerned about optimal health, it is imperative that you get the other missing six monosaccharides in your diet by way of nutritional supplementation. In the time of our ancestors, their eating habits allowed them to consume all of the 8 essential monosaccharides by eating live plants, naturally healthy animals, etc. Since the early 1960's, we've seen nutritional depletion in our food chain that it is now virtually impossible to find 6 of the 8 essential monosaccharides your body needs in the modern diet.

Glyconutritional supplements seem to allow the human body to manifest more of its potential by enhancing cellular communication. These nutrients may be a critical component in supporting the natural function of all of our systems and particularly the immune system which is at risk in our toxic, denatured environment. While the scientific community creates pharmaceutical, synthetic applications of this discovery, there is already a nutritional supplement that provides a ready resource of these saccharides.
