Reclaiming Your Health Starts at the Cell Level with Glyconutrients

Everyone knows that our bodies need good nutrition to survive and thrive. Up until recently that meant feeding our cells with enough of the known essential nutrients: vitamins, minerals, amino acids and essential fatty acids. Recent scientific discoveries have revealed a new class of nutrients necessary for life: Glyconutrients. Glyconutrients are specific sugars found in nature that serve vital functional and structural roles in the human body. The more science learns about these sugars, the more we understand just how important they are to our health.

Alphabetic Code

We don’t normally think of our ABCs as a part of a “code”, but that is precisely what they are—a system of individual letters, used in an infinite number of combinations, creating a language that makes every written and spoken communication possible. And every letter plays a vital role. For example, try telling someone what you ate for breakfast this morning with out using the letters A or E. Losing only two letters out of 26 makes effective communication impossible!

Sugar Code

Science has revealed in the last 10 years that eight specific carbohydrate molecules called monosaccharides (single-cell sugars) make up what could be called the “alphabetic code” that our cells use to communicate with each other. This discovery is revolutionizing the science world and its understanding of how the body heals. However, just like our written alphabet, this cellular alphabet needs all of its “letters” to get its message across.

The Missing Links

Like other essential nutrients, we are meant to get all the glyconutrients we need from our diets, specifically vine-ripened fruits and vegetables. Unfortunately, due to current farming and food preparation practices, at least six out of the eight necessary glyconutrients are not available in our diets today!

Spelling Out Better Health

It’s hard to ignore that we are faced with many modern-day epidemics that our current health care system is not successfully addressing. The rates of many degenerative issues and auto-immune disorders are continuing to climb, even as more and more drugs come on the market and get pulled from the market for being ineffective or even worse, dangerous.

The new science of Glyconutrients, and the supplements made possible by these discoveries, give us hope for a “Language of Life” that can spell out recovery at the most basic unit of our body, the cell.
