The 8 Essential Glyconutrients

When you hear the word sugar and think about what it does to your body you most likely think back to what you learned in school. In biochemistry we learned that we digest sugar and our bodies burn it to make energy. Since then science has made some recent discoveries that prove eight specific biological sugars that they call glyconutrients are not burned actually burned by our bodies. They actually become the building blocks that are known as glycoypids and glycoproteins. What this basically means is that these eight essential sugars are absorbed and become part of our bodies. Basically, this means that these eight sugars actually become part of our own bodies. When these eight sugars are combined they create complex structures that stay on the outside of our cells to be used for communication among the cells. So, what are these eight essential glyconutrients?

1.Glucose which is from table sugar
2.Galactose which is from milk products (Glucose and Galactose are usually found in our regular diets.)
3.Mannose
4.Xylose
5.Fucose
6.N-Acetyl-glucosamine
7.N-Acetyl-galactosamine
8.N-Acetyl-neuaminic acid

The way we process and package foods today, leads to the deficiencies of the above sugars. Since we only get the top two of the eight sugars in our daily diet, our bodies have to work extra hard to create the other much needed sugars. When we supplement our daily diets with even smallest amounts of the glyconutrients, we can see great results. Just about everyone says that they notice an instant boost in their vitality and their energy level. When people use these supplements over a long period of time they will see their health is being restored and they can recover from most any health issue. When added to our diet, it will help the bodys natural ability to heal itself.
