What Are Glyconutrients?
Zachary Thompson
In recent years carbohydrates have been studied minutely,
giving rise to a whole new terminology Glycobiology. This is in
fact the study of how carbohydrates affect our health.
Scientists used to consider carbohydrates as foods that were
not very necessary to the body but now due to Glycobiology they
have discovered some surprising facts about carbohydrate
saccarides known as Glyconutrients.
There are 8 essential saccarides necessary to our health that
are being researched and are known as Glyconutrients. They are:
• Mannose
• Glucose
• Galactose
• Xylose
• Fuctos (not fructose)
• N-acetylglucosamine
• N-acetylneuramic acid
• N-acetylgalactosamine
What has Glycobiology discovered? Through research science has
disvovered vital molecules in our bodies that have a critical
effect on our health. Exactly what are glyconutrients?
With the aid of the electron microscope scientists found
trillions of tiny fibers sticking to the cell surfaces. They
discovered on looking more closely that these little appendages
were in fact sugar molecules called glyconutrients.
Scientists found that the function of these glyconutrients is
to stimulate activity and produce enzymes which:
1. Act as blocking agents: To stop toxins from entering cells.
2. Suppressing agents: That help stop malignant changes in
cells.
3. Glyconutrients help the body’s cells to communicate with
each other.
4. They strengthen the immune system
Due to environmental problems like green harvests and
processing of foods the natural sources of Glyconutrients has
been seriously reduced. This has led to depletion in our diets.
If any of these vital Glyconutrients are missing the immune
system starts to fail and weaken giving rise to disease and
infections attacking the body. This results in our
deteriorating health.
The study of Glycobiology has developed important supplements
made up of these Glyconutrients, which when taken increase the
Glyconutrients in our bodies. With these supplements our bodies
can heal and strengthen our immune systems. This helps to
reverse the spiral of ill health and restore the body’s natural
immunity to disease and infection. They also help our bodies
against toxins found in the air and soil by preventing thm from
penetrating our cells.
At first the study of Glycobiology was not taken very seriously
but now major universities have become involved in Glycobiology
studies and research. Also in USA, Canada, Europe and Japan
over 30 biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies are now
doing research into Glyconutrients. A product of Glycobiology
research has been Ambrotose. Now more over 20,000 research
papers on Glycobiology have been published in just one year,
making Glycobiology a serious and growing area of research.
Note: Glyconutrients are not intended to heal, treat, or cure
any disease.
