What are the eight essential sugars? 

Glyconutrients are plant carbohydrates that are essential to healthy body function, but are scant in most common diets. Studies have shown that Glyconutrients, combined with other Glycoforms, are promising in preventing, healing common human ailments and promoting long life.

Although there are more than 200 carbohydrates known to man, eight have been deemed essential to human health as a catalyst for cell communication. Among cells and other human organisms, better communication means improvement in the body’s ability to fight diseases such as Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Autism, Upper Respiratory Diseases, Strokes, Cerebral Palsy, Depression, Muscular Dystrophy, Hepatitis C, Cancer, Dyslexia, Asthma, Menopause, Urinary Infections, Alcoholism, Diabetes, Heart Disease, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, and more. Glyconutrients are so beneficial that they have even been shown to slow the aging process substantially.

The eight sugars that have been recognized as being the Glyconutrients essential to longevity and health are:

-                          Galactose: Commonly extracted from the inner leaf gel of the Aloe Vera plant, Galactose is said to enhance immune activity in adult asthmatics, control the symptoms of bronchial asthma, treat fungal infections, treat allergic reactions, and act as an anti-inflammatory.

-                          Glucose: Commonly extracted from the inner leaf gel of the Aloe Vera plant, Glucose is said to enhance immune activity in adult asthmatics, control the symptoms of bronchial asthma, treat fungal infections, treat allergic reactions, and act as an anti-inflammatory.

-                          Mannose: Commonly extracted from the inner leaf gel of the Aloe Vera plant, Mannose is said to enhance immune activity in adult asthmatics, control the symptoms of bronchial asthma, treat fungal infections, treat allergic reactions, and act as an anti-inflammatory.

-                          N-acetylneuraminic Acid (NANA/Sialic Acid): Commonly found in many foods, including wheat flour, soybeans, grapes, carrots, radish, leek seeds, tomatoes, red wine, sorghum, coconut meat, and milk, NANA supports a healthy population of bacteria in the colon and promotes healthy liver function.

-                          Fucose: Commonly extracted from the Astragalus plant, Fucose supports colon health and helps to prevent tumors.

-                          N-acetylgalactosamine: Commonly found in many foods, including wheat flour, soybeans, grapes, carrots, radish, leek seeds, tomatoes, red wine, sorghum, coconut meat, and milk, N-acetylgalactosamine supports a healthy population of bacteria in the colon and promotes healthy liver function.

-                          N-acetylglucosamine: Naturally occurring in pectins, gums, and mucilages, N-acetylglucosamine has been found to promote intestinal health.

-                          Xylose (1): Extracted from the Anogeissus Latifolia Tree, Xylose (1) has shown promise in lowering cholesterol.

-                          Xylose (2): Extracted from various species of Astragalus, Xylose (2) has been shown to promote healthy colon function, weight loss and as an anti-viral supplement.
