Improve Cellular Communication With Glyconutrients

The word nutraceuticals is an unofficial term that come from the combination of nutrition and pharmaceutical. The word is meant to describe natural food-based (nutrition) substances that have pharmacological (healing) effects on the human body. Nutraceuticals is a relatively new term used by the Food and Nutrition Board of the Institute of Medicine for all natural, standardized, non-toxic dietary supplements designed to optimize health through improved nutrition.

Essential glyconutrients are a new and more specialised type of nutraceutical. They support the process our individual tissue cells use to recognize, and communicate with, each other.

Of the 200 monosaccharides that are found naturally in plants there are at least eight essential monosaccharides (also known as simple sugars or Glyconutrient complex) that are not digested and burned as fuel like how we think of most sugars. Instead this group of eight Gluconutrients is structural building blocks incorporated as whole molecules directly into the cells within your body and are involved in a remarkable array of biological functions. These are functions that control everything from individual cell structure and function to cell-to-cell communication and protection for every last single cell in the body.

Everything in the body depends to some level on these molecules. And it has been discovered that when they are missing it prohibits our immune systems from functioning at full capacity.

Food is one of our most basic needs. However, in our modern society fresh food is a thing of the past. The so called fresh fruits and vegetables we buy nowadays have little nutritional value because they are grown in nutrient-deficient soil, picked before they ripen by nature, gassed, irradiated, artificially ripened and stored for days before we consume it. Therefore, our diets lack the necessary building blocks of useful foods vital to our health and well-being.

In our diet nowadays, the eight necessary glyconutrients are often missing. Most diets nowadays contain only two of the eight glucose and galactose. Glucose is provided from such food sources a wheat, rice, and sugar cane. Glucose and galactose are supplied through the breakdown of lactose from dairy sources.

To ensure that you have all eight glyconutrients in your diet you have to know the food sources of each nutrient or take a glyconutrient supplement. The simplest way to obtain these precious nutrients is through a supplement. Fortunately, with todays high technology, we are able to extract the essential eight glyconutrients and put them in supplement form.

Glyconutrient supplements are accessible from many brands and come in capsule and bulk powder forms. It is recommended that you follow the directions to ensure you receive the minimum amount of nutrients per day to enhance the bodys functions. You can find these wonderful glyconutrient supplements at your local or internet health food store.
