A glyconutrient, in technical terms, is a monosaccharide.

These monosaccharides, or glyconutrients, are

used to create glycoforms. Glycoforms cover the outside of virtually every cell in your body and are
used by cells to communicate. Using glycoforms made up of glyconutrients, cells communicate with
disease fighting cells of the immune system and identify themselves as healthy, friendly cells. If a cell
cannot clearly identify itself as health, the immune system will attack the cell, healthy or not. Because
glyconutrients are not readily available through your diet, many of your cells cannot communicate
clearly. Your immune system begins to attack and kill your healthy cells. These attacks manifest
themselves as auto-immune diseases such as MS, Arthritis,Asthma and Fibromyalgia.

There are 8 glyconutrients needed by the cells of your body. The 8 glyconutrients are:

Mannose: Research suggests mannose also eases inflammation in rheumatiod arthritis. Also shown to
lower blood Sugar and triglyceride levels in diabetics.

Galactose: Helps in wound healing and long term memory formation.

Fucose: Guards against respiratory tract infections and inhibits allergic reactions. Research suggests the
Sugar is active against viruses including herpes and the AIDS virus. Fucose is abundant in breast milk.

Xylose: An antibacterial and antifungal. May help prevent cancer of the digestive tract. Often used as a
substitute for corn syrup and sucrose. Xylose does not cause dental cavities.

Glucose: A potent, fast-energy source. Enhances memory and stimulates calcium absorption. Too much
or too little glucose leads to problems.

N-Acetylglucosamine: Glucosamine, a metabolic product of n-acetylglucosamine, helps repair

cartilage, decreases pain and inflammation, and increses range of motion in osteoarthritis. N-
acetylglucosamine plays a vital role in learning, and works against tumors and HIV.

N-acetylneuraminic acid: This monosaccharide is abundant in breast milk, and important for brain
development and learning. This saccharide has been shown to inhibit strains of influenza viruses more
effectively than many prescription anti-virals. This monosaccharide influences blood coagulation and
helps lower LDL (bad cholesterol) levels.

N-acetylgalactosamine: Studies on this monosaccharide are limited. We do know that lower-than-

normal levels of this monosaccharide have been found in heart disease patients.

These 8 sugars (glyconutrients) are essential for the proper function of every individual cell in your
body. Scores of illnesses have been linked to an lack of these glyconutrients. Increasing the intake of
these 8 sugars through diet or supplementation has led to recovery and long term wellness for countless
individuals. To maximize the strength of your immune system, prevent disease and maintain excellent
health, get glyconutrients back into your diet.
