Good Health Is So Sweet With all the sweets, sodas and processed foods available to us, it’s easy to assume that we get more than enough sugar in our diets. In reality, it’s not just the amount of sugar that we eat, but the kinds of sugar that we need to evaluate. While there are more than 200 different monosaccharides, or simple sugars, scientists have stated that specific dietary sugars could represent a new class of nutrients with interesting effects on health. These important sugars are called glyconutrients.

Our Product Advantage
Glyco Essentials combines all eight monosaccharides that are considered glyconutrients into a single polysaccharide chain to provide a highly bioavailable source of glyconutrients. The uniquely designed polysaccharide chain offers more surface area, resulting in more effective digestion and absorption in the body.

Ingredients
Glyco Essentials provides a polysaccharide chain of eight individual glyconutrients: fucose, glucose, galactose, N-acetylgalactosamine, N-acetylglucosamine, N-acetylneuraminic acid, mannose and xylose, derived from aloe vera extract, tragacath gum, arabinogalactan, beta-glucan, shiitake mushroom extract, cordyceps mushroom extract, maitake mushroom extract, glucosamine sulfate, ghatti gum, guar gum and rice starch. It also includes a phytonutrient base of shortchain fructooligosaccharides.

How Does it Work?
Sugars are well-known for the quick boost of energy they give the body, but certain simple sugars also serve important structural and functional roles in cell processes. These sugars combine with other molecules in the cell to form glycoconjugates, special signaling molecules for cellular communication. Glycoconjugates on the surface of one cell bind to receptors on another cell, allowing them to communicate with one another and carry out the many complex processes necessary for health. Glycoproteins, a specific type of glycoconjugate, appear to play a role in the production of enzymes, hormones and antibodies.1 Refefence: 1. Rudd P, Elliott T, Cressell P, Wilson I, Dwek R.

Scientific Data
While many sugars are found in excess in the average diet, these important sugars are often lacking. Our bodies are capable of synthesizing sugars by converting one sugar into another; however, various limitations, such as poor metabolism and vitamin or mineral deficiency, can prevent the conversion process from running smoothly. In addition, glyconutrients obtained from the diet are more readily used by the body. Studies have shown that glyconutrients can be absorbed from the digestive system intact and unchanged, and they can be used directly to build glycoconjugates on cell surfaces.
