I recently read a lengthy article on Glyconutrients. The author of the article (who shall remain nameless), incorrectly and falsely made statements about glyconutrients and cures.
The reality is that glyconutrients are GREAT; and they seriously help people that have compromised immune systems. Glyconutrients have the ability to feed our body at the cellular level. The end result of this is that your body acts and responds more efficiently. This means your body will naturally fight off and address current illnesses and ailments BETTER than if you did not take glyconutrients.
At this point in the research with glyconutrients, it is INCORRECT to make statements that glyconutrients heal. However, the research is far enough along that people who are battling auto immune disorders should SERIOUSLY consider taking glyconutrients.
My other beef with glyconutrient advertising is that it is NOT a silver bullet. There are many good things everybody should be doing for their bodies on a daily basis. These things are even more important when you are fighting a major autoimmune disorder.
For example, everybody should be doing the following:
Taking a good multivitamin
Drinking eight classes of water a day, preferably distilled.
Taking Co-enzyme Q10 and Alpha Lipoic Acid
Taking Priobiotics
Taking a high quality Vitamin C
Think about this. When your body is under stress; and it is failing to fight off a disease properly, wouldn’t you want to give your body all the raw materials it needs to assist in the healing process? Glyconutrients are one MAJOR step in this process; but they are not the entire process.
My advice to people who are looking for ways to improve their health is TO DO THEIR homework first. Secondly, make sure you are comparing apples to apples. Not all products and companies are the same. For example, there is only one glyconutrient on the market today that has 20 world wide patents and manufactures a complete glyconutrient supplement that contains all EIGHT sugars.
