Glycobiology is world science. There are hundreds of thousands of papers now being published in regard to the structure and function of glyconutrients in our body. Glycoscience is currently on the leading edge of health science research and is predicted by Massachusetts Institute of Technology to be one of the “top ten technologies to change the world”.

So what are glyconutrients? Glyconutrients are a complete nutritional category in and of themselves. They are independent of vitamins and minerals, or antioxidants or fatty acids and some consider them the foundational nutrient for our body. Of the 200 carbohydrates in nature, 8 have been found to be vital to the body’s internal communication process. They are known by several names - glyconutrients, saccharides, sugars. The eight glyconutrients are:

• Xylose

• Mannose

• Fucose

• Glucose

• Galactose

• N-Acetyl galactosamine

• N-Acetyl glucosamine

• N-Acetyl neuraminic acid

On the surface of every cell in our body are little antennae-like structures. Under an electron microscope they look like a forest emerging from the cell surface. The cells rub up against each other and pass information like a coded language across these antennae. The communication ends of the antennae are made up of glyconutrients and have the capacity for amultitudeofconfigurations.

Are Your Cells Talking?This is the basis of communication of ALL structure and function in our body. They communicate how to utilise the nutrition that we take in our body whether it be from food or supplements; how to recognise when something needs to be eliminated from the system such as a foreign body, sick cell, virus or bacteria; how to detoxify; recognition of when the body needs extra support; regulation of functions such as blood pressure, hormones, and blood sugar.

Glyconutrientswhat EVERY Body Needs

In fact in a recent paper on glycobiology it was stated:

“Glycans play roles in almost every biological process and are involved in every major disease. They are integral to cell adhesion and movement, such as when white blood cells migrate to a site of injury or infection. Glycans inside cells

help influence the expression of genes and proteins, forming part of a cell’s response to biological signals. The human

immune system has evolved the ability to recognize pathogen-specific glycan sequences on bacteria, viruses, and fungi,

triggering an immune response.”

Communication Breakdown Spells Health Disaster.Now it’s interesting to know the method of communication going on inside of us but how do we know if it’s working properly? And, what happens if not?!

Glyconutrients are required to be consumed in our diet. It is interesting to note that no one food in nature contains all 8 glyconutrients. (There is a production system in the body but it is very complex and reliant on many successful conversions). Unfortunately, there is extensive world science now showing the depletion of nutritional content in our food. Over the past six decades modern farming practices have lead to weight and quantity of our food being prioritised over nutritional quality. And so like many nutrients, glyconutrients havebeenshowntobedeficientinourmoderndiet.Therefore the internal communication process could become compromised.

The depletion in nutritional content of our modern diet is so evident that the in 2002 American Medical Association stated in their journal: “pending strong evidence from randomised trials it appears prudent for all adults to take vitamin (and mineral) supplements” JAMA 2002.

Nature Knows Best.

Our cells are made up of 100% nutrition - this is simple biological science. It is nutrients that provide the resources for optimal function in our body, for our energy levels, for maintenance of our health and for our vitality.

By nature’s design we were meant to receive this nutrition from food . . .NOT in a synthetic replica form. Our body is extremely intelligent and can recognise the difference between chemicals and nature. While there is a plethora of nutritional supplements on the market 95% of them aresyntheticreplicasandthereisincreasingscientificevidence our body doesn’t like them.

So if our body is meant to receive nutrition in food form but our food is no longer enough what can we do?

Introducing Real Food Technology Solutions.

Mannatech’s speciality is the development of nutritional supplements from real food sources. Theydevelopedtheworld’sfirstandonlyfood derived supplement of the eight known glyconutrients called Ambrotose which has been available since 1996. It has been proven that when we supplement with food form glyconutrients they do in fact end up on the surface of our cells for communication purposes.

Mannatech are a science company and have invested $20 million dollars in research in the past 5 years into the science of glyconutrients and what occurs when we supplement with them. The science is validating what tens of thousands of people have experienced by adding Ambrotose to their diet over the past 18 years:
