Potential benefits of glyconutrient supplement in human body

Introduction of glyco-nutrient proactive energetic supplements
Eminent Scientist in the field of glycobiology have proposed that specific dietary sugars (Glyconutrient) could represent a new class of nutrients with interesting benefits to health.

Glyco means "sweet" and refers to monosaccharide or sugars. The role of carbohydrates (sugars) in energy production has been long understood. However, there are additional crucial role into orchestrating the healthy structure.

About 200 monosaccharides occur naturally in plants. Fewer than 10 are predominantly used by the body for healthy function. Glucose found in table sugar is only one of them. There are many others like glucose.

Glycoproteins are molecules that are combinations of sugar and protein. Glycolipids are combinations of sugar and fat (lipid). The general term for these combination biomolecules is "Glycoconjugates".

Glycoconjugates on cell surface and in the blood are responsible for cellular recognition processes that enable the body to inform the many complicated functions required for health.

Glyconutrients constitute important parts of glycoprotein molecules in the blood.

Some research have been done in the USA that list some health related benefits associated with single sugars. Nutritional supplement products are highly safe compared to synthetic drugs.

Expanded benefits and mechanisms of action of glyconutrients
Following is a list of expanded benefits and mechanisms of action.

(1) Body proteins and fats bind to glyconutrient (sugars) to form glycoconjugates (glycoproteins, glycolipids) which function as enzymes. Immune system molecules, hormones and cell membrane, transport molecules and are involved in all aspects of human health structure and function

(2) Glyconutritional sugars, which include Mannose, Galactose, Fucose, xylose, Glucose, Sailic Acid (NANA) N-acetyl- glucosamine and N-acetyl galactosamine can be readily absorbed and directly incorporated (Glycosylates) into Glycconjugates

(3) The body prefers to utilise glyconutritional sugars provided in the diet which requires less expenditure of energy and allows for more rapid production of needed glycoconjugates

(4) Glyconutritional sugars on the surface of one cell bind to sugar receptors on another cell which allows the cells to communicate with one another and defend against bacterial infection and allergies

(5) Glycoconjugates and glyconutritional sugars are anchored to the surface of cells by Glycosylphospha-tidylinositols, which are found in abundance in human breast milk and are of particular importance to the health of newborn infants

Consolidated benefits from glyconetrient suppliment
Immune system modulation glyconutrient are necessary for healthy immune cells and immune system function to

(a) play key roles in many aspects of tissue heeling and repair as well as cell survival

(b) enhance Immune system functions

(c) have positive effects on asthma

(d) have positive effects on rheumatoid arthritis

(e) prevent arthritis

(f) substantially reduce pain and increase joint mobility in osteoarthritis

(g) Glyconutrient help to inhabit growth and/or tumor cell

(h) Glyconutrient help kill bacteria, viruses and fungi and thereby defend against infection

(i)it is important in regulating blood sugars levels and insulin release

Other biological effects of glyconutrient
Stimulate Calcium absorption which could be beneficial in preventing Calcium deficiency diseases such as osteoporosis. In fact, this glyconutrient supplement are using in the USA, Canada, Australia and many other countries for the benefits in human health.
