Have you heard? Scientists have recently discovered that our contemporary diet is missing some key nutrients, and surprisingly, these missing nutrients are sugars. After years of research, author like Rita Elkins concluded that the lack of these priceless sugars in our diet is a major reason for most of today's diseases; even cancer, diabetes, and autoimmune disorders like fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, and chronic fatigue syndrome.

The miracle of Glyconutrition provides immune balance, strength and high endurance. Glyconutritionals are very special because they are system modulators, they target the operating system of the human body. In other words, an appropriate glyconutrient supplementation can help to correct auto-immune diseases, boost a healthy immune system and keep your body in excellent shape for disease prevention.

8 Essential Sugars that Promote Optimal Health:

GLUCOSE
> Potent fast-energy source
> Enhances memory
> Stimulates calcium absorption
> Too much or too little can be problematic
> Elderly Alzheimer's patients register much lower levels of this saccharide than those with organic brain disease from stroke or other vascular diseases
> Glucose metabolism disturbed in depression, manic-depression, anorexia and bulimia

MANNOSE
> Prevents bacterial, viral, parasitic and fungal infections
> Eases inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis
> Lupus patients are deficient in this saccharide
> Lowers blood sugar and triglyceride levels in diabetic patients

FUCOSE
> Influences brain development
> Improves brain's ability to create long-term memories
> Inhibits tumor growth
> Metabolism of this saccharide is abnorma l in cystic fibrosis, diabetes, and cancer and during episodes of shingles, which is caused by the herpes virus
> Active against other herpes viruses, including herpes I and cytomegalovirus
> Guards against respiratory infections
> Inhibits allergic reactions

GALACTOSE
> Enhances wound healing
> Increases calcium absorption
> Triggers long-term memory formation

N-ACETYLGALACTOSAMINE
> Heart disease patients have lower-than-normal levels of this saccharide
> Inhibits spread of tumor

N-ACETYLGLUCOSAMINE
> Immune modulator with antitumor properties and activity against HIV
> Vital to learning
> Glucosamine, a metabolic product of this saccharide
> Helps repair cartilage
> Decreases pain and inflammation
> Increases range of motion
> May also help repair mucosal-lining defensive barrier implicated in Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis and interstitial cystitis

N-ACETYLNEUROMINIC ACID
> Important for brain development and learning
> Abundant in breast milk
> Repels bacteria, virus and other pathogens

XYLOSE
> Antibacterial and antifungal
> May help prevent cancer of the digestive tract
