Suffering from Scurvy?

In the Sixteenth Century, sailors suffered from scurvy caused by vitamin C deficiency.

Similarly, today many Americans are starved for Glyconutrients. Some researchers believe this may explain the phenomenal increase in autoimmune disorders and other serious illnesses.

History repeats itself.
　

All this has changed. Most people do not have year-round access to fruits and vegetables that have been fully ripened before picking and that can be consumed promptly after picking. These are the conditions under which food contains an abundance of glyconutrients.

To further complicate matters, our environment contains many more contaminants than was the case earlier. We ingest some of these through our food and water, and inhale them through polluted air. This compromises our body's ability to function optimally to create the sugars missing from our diet. Supplementation is therefore necessary for the vast majority of us.

Without these glyconutrients, our body loses the ability to respond effectively to threats to health, or to carry out appropriate immune system activity. The result is a proliferation of autoimmune diseases, and frequent bouts with infectious diseases.

A great deal of scientific research has been conducted in recent years in the field of intercellular communication. Glyconutrients have been discovered to be the essential building blocks of communication within the body's cells. In this capacity, they have the power to affect all body systems at all levels.

All of the 200+ types of carbohydrates (sugars) were thought earlier to function only to provide energy (fuel) to the body. Now it is known that eight of these sugars have a distinctly different function from the others. These are the ones used in cell to cell communication.
