Glyconutrients - Research And Discovery

Glyconutrients were virtually unknown as little as 10 years ago. The whole group of carbohydrates and saccarides was largely neglected. With the advent of Glycobiology scientists have since come to learn an increasing amount about these vital nutrients.

Dr McAnalley did some of the first research with Glyconutrients in 1995. He developed and filed patents for Glyconutrient formulas in 1996. Scientists began to realize the importance of polysaccharides and Glyconutrients in the body and how taking supplements with these nutrients can be very beneficial to your health.

He and his research staff started their work when they isolated and researched acemannan from the Aloe Vera, plant. Aloe polymannose (acemannan) is a polysaccharide that is nontoxic. Many of the health benefits from this ancient healing plant can be credited to this natural polysaccharide. Since that time Dr McAnalley has invented over 66 patented products. He is a renowned speaker and held many prominent positions.

Because of his pioneer work on Polysaccerides and Glyconutrients a whole new research is being conducted into these nutrients. This is called Glycobiology (the study of Glyconutrients) Scientists are discovering more and more about the uses of these substances and their important functions in the body.

Having neglected the study of carbohydrates for so long scientists are just now taking steps to understand the complex make up of this class of foods. As they dig deeper they are uncovering the mysteries of the body functions and how the cells actually communicate with each other. They are also discovering the body’s natural healing mechanisms and how this can be improved with these vital nutrients.

Scientists are also studying the pharmacokinetics of these substances. This is the study of how these Glyconutrients, polysaccharides, disaccharides and monosaccharide absorb, excrete, effect metabolism and react with the body.

With this Glycobiology research scientists can uncover all the different uses these nutrient have and unlock the different chemical compounds found within the complex carbohydrate family of foods. As they unlock the compounds and chains of saccarides they will get more insight into these substances and see how they can improve our health.

Dr McAnalley’s long years of work have paved the way for other scientists and research students to continue in their quest for more information about the carbohydrate family of foods (polysaccharides, and Glyconutrients). As they continue to learn more we shall see more information on how we can improve our health with these vital nutrients.

Many nutritional supplements are being developed for these Glyconutrients. One of the most well known is Ambrotose. This supplement was developed by Mannetech and provides all the components required for your body to manufacture Glyconutrients. This is useful to you, as the foods we eat today do not have enough of this vital nutrient for our bodies to maintain a good state of health. When you take these supplements you can help your body heal and maintain its health and improve your lifestyle by being the healthy person you should be.
