Why We Need Glyconutritionals

Taken from 'Breakthroughs in Health' Vol. 1 Issue 2 2006.
'Despite our best intentions, most of us are not eating the food elements our bodies need every day. Because of our stressful lives, and our over-reliance on fast foods and quick snacks, our bodies lack the glyconutrients we need. "In our typical diets, most people only obtain two of the eight essential sugars; glucose and some galactose," says Luis Romero, M.D., who specializes in internal medicine, cardiovascular medicine and clinical pharmacology. "That is why we are seeing growing epidemics of autoimmune diseases in this country." Romero studied at the University of Massachusetts Medical Centre and Harvard University and conducted research at Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research in New York. For the past five years he has devoted the bulk of his time to researching glycobiology.'

Mannatech Inc with founder Sam Caster, is the world leader in glyconutrients. With their cutting-edge scientists they have produced supplements and skin care give optimal health and wellness. Early research on glyconutrients suggests that by adding glyconutrients to the human diet there is an increase in production in one's bone marrow stem cell production.
