    Due to deteriorating soil conditions, and poor eating habits, we are subjected to many of us are deficient in these vital nutrients. This results in insufficient vitamins, but also insufficient glyconutrients in the body and therefore a breakdown of the critical communication system within your body. This affects among oth...

  • Are Glyconutrients Right For You?
    Glyconutrients are part of the carbohydrate family. They are a collection of 8 saccharides. These are important factors in the body’s ability to fight infections and heal itself.

    There are 8 necessary saccharides needed by our bodies

    • Mannose
    • Glucose
    • Galactose
    • Xylose
    • Fucose (not fructose)
    • N-acetylglucosamine
    • N-acetylneuramic acid
    • N-acetylgalactosamine

    These elements form the building blocks for glycoforms. Which serve as coverings for the body’s...
  • Galactose - Everything You Ever Wanted To Know
    Galactose is one of the 8 saccharides known as Glyconutrients. They are vital nutrients to the body and are:

    • Mannose
    • Glucose
    • Galactose
    • Xylose
    • Fucose (not fructose)
    • N-acetylglucosamine
    • N-acetylneuramic acid
    • N-acetylgalactosamine

    Galactose is found in sugar beets and dairy products. It is a sugar and is also known as brain sugar. Because it has food energy it is known as a nutritive sweetener. It is not very water-soluble and is less sweet than gluc...
  • Glyconutrients - Research And Discovery
    Glyconutrients were virtually unknown as little as 10 years ago. The whole group of carbohydrates and saccarides was largely neglected. With the advent of Glycobiology scientists have since come to learn an increasing amount about these vital nutrients.

    Dr McAnalley did some of the first research with Glyconutrients in 1995. He developed and filed patents for Glyconutrient formulas in 1996. Scientists began to realize the importance of polysaccharides and Glyconutrients in...
  • Got N-Acetylglucosamine? What Is That Anyway?
    N-acetylglucosamine is one of the 8 saccharides known as Glyconutrients. The others are:

    • Mannose
    • Glucose
    • Galactose
    • Xylose
    • Fucose (not fructose)
    • N-acetylneuramic acid
    • N-acetylgalactosamine

    N-acetylglucosamine: It is used as a nutritional supplement supplying the body with a derivative known as Glucosamine.

    Glucosamine: It is utilized by the body for cartilage, ligaments and tendons. Glucosamine is also used as a natural supplement to help with join...
  • Glucose - Is It Good For Anything?
    Glucose is the most commonly known of all the Glyconutrients. Glucose is one of the most vital factors in the body’s energy cycle. This makes it one of the most important of the Glyconutrient saccharides. It is one of the eight essential nutrients making up this group. They are:

    •Mannose
    •Glucose
    •Galactose
    •Xylose:
    •Fucose (not fructose)
    •N-acetylglucosamine
    •N-acetylneuramic acid
    •N-acetylgalactosamine

    Glucose is found naturally in plants, from the process know...
  • Did You Get Your Seaweed This Morning?
    Fucose is a Glyconutrient. There are 8 saccharides that make up this family:

    • Mannose
    • Glucose
    • Galactose
    • Xylose:
    • Fucose (not fructose)
    • N-acetylglucosamine
    • N-acetylneuramic acid
    • N-acetylgalactosamine

    Fucose can be found in natural products like seaweed and echinoderms. From ancient times humans have consumed them. The original gelatin was often made from seaweed before artificial gelatin was developed.

    When handling wet kelp you will experience a ...
