Glyconutrients and Benefits

Glyconutrients are also known as sugars or polysaccharides, and even though many people have not heard about them before, they have existed forever. What happens is that just in the last decade the study of these sugars has exploded and finally scientists and doctors are recognizing and understanding their importance for human health.

Did you know that the cells of your body have structures that help them communicate with each other? Well, these are glyconutrients. That is why some refer to glyconutrients as the "code of life". They are very important since they are like the 'alphabet' for your cells. They combine in different ways to form 'words' that help cells to identify each other and communicate their needs … that way your cells know what to do! Isn't that incredible? … There is no doubt that the body has been perfectly designed.

Let's picture the following so you understand how these biological sugars look like in your body. First of all imagine your cells as "hairy". Now, attach some molecules, like tiny pearls to each hair. Those molecules are sugars ... one could say that we are all "sweet" at the cellular level.

These sugars are so well positioned on the surface of the cell and within the cell ready to "touch and feel" other cells in order to communicate with them.

Cells use these "hairy" structures to exchange chemical signals that in our world are the same as words. And depending on how these carbohydrates are combined, the "cellular word" is formed. That's why the number of messages can be innumerable!

Using glyconutrients cells say things such as:

Feed me

I'm a toxin

I'm a virus

Repair me

I'm a friendly cell ... don't exterminate me!

I'm cellular waste

When one of the sugars is missing or positioned in the wrong place a communication breakdown occurs and a health problem may arise.

That is why these polysaccharides play a key role in almost all bodily functions. They are in all kind of cells helping to keep the balance of your overall health. Did you know that glyconutrients are present in the DNA!

These carbohydrates support the process of cell-to-cell communication, which is vital for good health and of course good quality of life. Glyconutrients strengthen the immune system. They are very important for a healthy and regulated immune system, which is the one in charge of keeping the "enemies" abreast and restoring your health when necessary.

The immune system uses glyconutrients all the time to do the surveillance in your body and identify and block viruses and bacteria from entering your system. Also, the immune system cells use sugars to “call” for help after having identified injured tissue, and tell the arriving cells to the site, where exactly the problem is. This process works perfect… and that is the way it needs to be; otherwise the problem remains unattended and can become a serious health problem.

Keep in mind that glyconutrients are not responsible of treating or curing anything in particular… They just help your body fend for itself. They help restore basic cellular functions to normal by supporting the cell-to-cell communication process and as a result the body can correct and repair itself.
