Glyconutrient ProductsIn order to understand the glyconutrient products better, we prepared a short description of many of the supplements. These monosaccharides (simple sugars) are essential for the communication of our bodies cells. These saccharides make up what could be called the “alphabetic code” that our cells use to communicate with each other. In order for our cells to communicate effectively, they require simple sugars. Our bodies utilize these sugars and regain the ability to fight disease, reactivate our immune systems, thus our bodies are more able to ward off infection.
This is an abbreviated list of the glyconutrient products available. I have chosen the most frequently used for the purposes of optimal health. Glyconutrient Complex (one of the four core Optimal Wellness Glyconutrient Products)is one of the essential glyconutrient products that is a blend of the essential monosaccharides and their precursors in a powder. These nutrients are essential for all biological and cellular functions in the body. They are primarily from plants, roots and berries that we do not have in our food chain any longer. All of us therefore are deficient in these nutrients. According to Harper’s Biochemistry Textbook, Chapter 54, 26th edition, these nutrients are missing in the modern diet. They are responsible for cell-to-cell communication. The sperm cannot find the egg without these nutrients in the diet. These nutrients do not require energy for digestion. They are the building blocks of carbohydrates in a carbohydrate powder, and they are non-toxic at any level. They are the subject and product of the new science known as Glycobiology. Glyconutrient supplementation has also been shown to protect levels of glutathione within the cell, which protects the cell from cell damage, if a cell is exposed to a toxic agent. (Fisher Proceedings,” Enhancement of Glutathione Levels and Protection from Chemically Initiated Glutathione Depletion in Rat Liver Cells by Glyconutritionals”, Vol 1, No 1, 12-16) Glyco-Phyto Vitamin Mineral Complex (one of the four core Optimal Wellness Glyconutrient Products) is one of the premiere glyconutrient products rich in minerals obtained from hydroponically grown Indian mustard plant. The hydroponic process allows the plant’s tissue to absorb greater concentrations of minerals, which are then stored in the plant tissues. Plant-sourced minerals in a whole-food form are recognized by the body as food and are readily absorbed and utilized. Hydroponically grown plants provide minerals in their most natural form and the process ensures standardized concentrations of essential minerals that meet minimum requirements with a daily serving of four caplets. Complex of All-Natural Sourced Vitamins: This one of the glyconutrient products contains a whole-food vitamin complex. Science indicates that vitamins which come from a food-sourced complex provide greater levels of absorption than those from a synthetic source. This allows for greater nutritional benefit from smaller quantities of more natural ingredients. Standardized Phytochemicals: contains an assortment of beneficial phytochemicals that provide the context for vitamins and minerals to interact with the body. These phytochemicals include rutin, glucosinolates from broccoli, organic acids from cranberries, and polyphenols from grapes. The advanced technology utilized in the formulation of Glyco-Phyto Vitamin Mineral Complex allows for the delivery of nutrients in a more natural food form. A more natural food source may provide greater absorption and utilization. Phytosterols/Phytogenins (one of the four core Optimal Wellness Glyconutrient Products) have been used from the Egyptian times as a food source to balance hormones in the body. They are the sterols in plants that directly feed our endocrine glands to act as a precursor to the hormones they secrete. PHYTOSTEROLS ARE NOT HORMONES. There are 600 species of Dioscorea Villosa or the Mexican Wild Yam, which is the preferred source phytosterols. The problems practitioners face when using Mexican Wild Yam are that if using an inferior species the effects will not be there. If the delivery of the phytosterol is not geared to protect it from the stomach acids, there will not be results. There are many forms of this product, saps, tinctures, tablets, powders, and most practitioners have used all of them. The best one is a pharmaceutical grade extract, enterically coated, standardized and labeled as a nutraceutical, and this is the one the works in every case. Antioxidant Glyconutrient Complex: (one of the four core Optimal Wellness Glyconutrient Products) One of the best antioxidants out there combines the proven glyconutrient complex with several antioxidants from foods, as well as phytochemicals. It comes in a capsule and is roller packed to insure a time-release in the gut. There are several stories behind this product. The development of the product is one story. The oldest living populations in the world were studied to discover what these people were including in their diets that might be responsible for helping them to live longer. The foods responsible were found to be antioxidants, and have been included in this product, such as: Grape skins (grape pomace extract), Australian Bush Plum (Highest Vitamin C food), Green Tea leaves extract, Quercetin (bioflavonoid), and Vitamin E (mixed d-alpha, d-beta, d-delta, and d-gammatocopherols).Everyone should be on this antioxidant. This antioxidant will protect “rusting” of our cells, but it can also be used to help the body fight off colds, flu or other infections by taking more that the recommended 2 capsules a day. This can be used as anyone would use a Vitamin C product. If you get gas and/or diarrhea, cut it back until you don’t. Probiotic Intestinal Health Support: This glyconutrient product is a proprietary blend of essential fibers, oils, fatty acids, enzymes, probiotics and their nutrients along with the glyocnutrient complex designed to promote proper colon ecology and function. Skin Care Hydrogel: This is a soothing, moisturizing aloe and glyconutrient gel that protects and alleviates burning, and roughness due to dry and sun damaged skin. For external use only. Apply as needed to face, hands and skin. Glyconutrient Cream with dioscorea villosa and emu oil rejuvenates damaged skin. This rich cream gives your skin a fresh start. The natural acids in this Glyconutrient cream with dioscorea villosa and emu oil will help exfoliate dead cells from your skin's outer layer to make way for rejuvenated, healthy, glowing skin. You'll be astonished with the contrast in your skin's moisture level, tone, texture and hydration. It also supports your skin's natural elasticity. This super-rich moisturizing cream will become an essential part of your health and beauty regimen. Phytochemicals: Phyto- means plant, and –chemical is the beneficial chemicals found in the plant, vegetable, or fruit. The vibrant colors of fruit, plant and vegetables are composed of these powerful phytochemicals. For example, the red of the tomato is comprised of approximately 350 phytochemicals. One of these is lycopene, which is beneficial for prostate health to protect the prostate from cancer. The American Cancer Society recommends twelve fruits and vegetables to be eaten every day, which include: broccoli, brussel sprouts, cabbage, kale, onion, tomato, turnip, papaya, pineapple, carrot, etc. These phytochemicals protect the cells from oxidative and toxic damage. The phytochemical, sulfurophane, found in broccoli, is capable of surrounding the cancer cells and carrying them out of the body. Newsweek, “Beyond Vitamins”, April 25, 1994 Phytonutrients (phytochemicals) help to protect the cells, and defend the cells, and should be part of every pregnant woman and child’s diet. Immune Complex: A strong immune system removes toxins and damaged cell material. These chewables support the body’s ability to do cellular “house cleaning.” It helps your body to: Remove harmful heavy metals, Remove daily toxins, Remove damaged cellular materials. Key immune health benefits is that the Immune Complex supports a cascade of immune responses that begin in the mouth and proceed throughout the body. It optimizes response of natural killer cells, B cells and T cells, that seek out and destroy foreign substances. It strengthens the mucosal immune system, your first line of defense. At the same time it supplies and enhances natural antibodies (immunoglobulins)and helps regulate the number and activities of circulating immune cells. This amazing product initiates communication in the immune system, to release chemical messengers that help keep your immune system strong and balanced. This product features peptides, amino acids and glycoproteins that engage your body’s natural ability to heal and repair itself. It also supports the mucous membranes that line your mouth, nose, lungs and digestive tracts. It bind to specific receptor sites that send signals directly to your lymphatic system—the roadway for your trillion circulating white blood cells. The nutrient forces in these chewables spread throughout the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, where they facilitate normal cell proliferation and growth of beneficial GI bacteria. The combination of Immune Complex and Glyconutrient complex provides a synergistic array of proteins, peptides, polypeptides and glycoproteins—nutrients that can help you achieve optimal health through an appropriately immunomodulated immune system. Electrolyte Sport Drink with Glyconutrients: One of the most impressive and useful products I know of is the electrolyte drink with medium triglycerides and glyconutrients. This is the most powerful supplement I have ever seen. Not only for sports, in pregnancy this is one of the most important additions a woman can make to her diet. This glyconutrient products is a lemon flavored powder that is mixed into water, and is a wonderful product that enhances the body’s ability to deal with morning sickness, flues, vomiting, sick kids, labor, dehydration, weakness, fatigue, overall weakened condition and decreased muscular strength. This can be a great addition and delivery system to take the other powdered supplements such as the glyconutrient complex and phytochemicals. Children love the lemonade taste as well, and there is NO SUGAR in this drink. The sweetener is fructose and does not trigger an insulin response, which makes it low glycemic. Children or anyone with diarrhea and/or vomiting can benefit from the electrolyte concentration in this powerful drink. Digestive Enzymes: Amylase is an enzyme that breaks down starch. Lactase is an enzyme that breaks down lactose. These vegetable based enzymes in this product are designed to support normal healthy digestion of gluten proteins.
More on Enzymes. Designed to boost thermogenesis and metabolism, this metabolism booster features theobromine and rhodiola extract, which provide a gentle surge of energy as well as promoting calmness and a positive mood and emotional outlook. Theobromine is recognized as the "feel good" ingredient in chocolate. Combine this with the next two glyconutrient products for successful weight management. Glucomannan Fiber Blend: This high-viscosity glucomannan fiber blend can provide a feeling of fullness and aid in the suppression of appetite and cravings. Glucomannan has the highest molecular weight and strongest viscosity of any dietary fiber. The unique source of high-grade glucomannan is derived from the Japanese konjac plant, which is specially cultivated to yield glucomannan that has maximized water-holding capacity and viscosity. High viscosity fibers hold nutrients in the intestinal tract londer, which creates a senstation of fullness in the stomach. Fiber is also known to help maintain existing normal blood sugar and cholesterol levels.
