Glyconutrients

Collectively glyconutrients are like the letters of the alphabet. They form together to create the words the cells use to express the instructions of DNA. Glyconutrients are monosaccharides or simple carbohydrates. They are entirely different from other carbohydrates, though, because they are not burned by your body or used for energy. In fact, the glyconutrients are not the primary immunomodulators - they cause the DNA and the cells themselves to immunomodulate. To ensure all glyconutrients are received in adequate amounts, supplements are best. Glyconutrients are part of an even broader category known as Nutraceuticals. This term combines the words nutrition and pharmaceuticals but they are a food-based substance which have a pharmacological effect on the human body. With no side effect risk and being all natural, glyconutrients are considered safe.

When gylconutrients are missing, the cells either cannot "talk" or they mis-communicate. The result is disease. While our cells can make these sugars from glucose, it is a very metabolically expensive process. It has been shown that dietary lack results in defective immune response, either too much or too little. Allergic conditions are examples of an over reactive immune system. An under reactive immune system could result in an inability of the natural killer cells (lymphocytes) to recognise diseased or cancerous cells, and dispose of them. When the cells are given the nutrients they need and begin to funciton properly, the resultant health benefits range from profound to amazing. In some cases, the so called laws of medical science have been overturned.
