The most important discovery for your body's nutrition and immune system in the last 100 years is something called the Biological Sugars. Science and medicine have long tried to understand the code by which the cells in the body communicate with one another in order for its complex functions to occur. For example, how does your digestive system know which food components to absorb into the blood stream and which to ignore?  Or which cells to attack and destroy and which to protect and nurture?  That code has now been broken.  This role is undertaken by these Biological Sugars.  Researchers proclaim it to be the most important discovery in the history of medicine ..the key to a long, healthy life.

What are these Biological Sugars?? These sugars are plant carbohydrates (monosaccharides). There are over 200 carbohydrates or sugars but only 8 so far have been identified as necessary for the transmission of biological information at the cellular level. These monosaccharide sugars are essential to bodily function. These are:

• Glucose
• Galactose
• Xylose
• Fucose
• Mannose
• N-Acetylglucosamine
• N-Acetylgalactosamine
• N-Acetylneuraminic Acid (Sialic Acid)

These 8 essential Biological Sugars combine with other molecules (eg proteins and lipids) to form glycoforms or glycoconjugates which coat cell membrane surfaces. When they combine with protein molecules, they form glycoproteins that coat the surface of every cell in the human body. When Biological Sugars bind with lipids (fats) they form glycolipids which also adhere to the cell surface. 

These Biological Sugars may be the key to effective cellular communication and proper cell function. This has been established by the world's leading scientists and researchers. Five of the last 9 Nobel Prizes in Medicine and Physiology have been awarded to researchers in the field of cell-to-cell communication.

These sugars are not vitamins, minerals, amino acids or enzymes, but are in a class of their own as nutritional supplements derived from plants. Nutritional supplements are formulated based on new understanding in the biochemistry of how the human body maintains health at the cellular level. Healthy cells lead to healthy tissue - healthy tissue leads to healthy organs - and healthy organs lead to healthy bodies.

Every cell in our body - all 600 trillion of them - needs these sugars.

Despite the relatively recent discovery of these Biological Sugars and their functions, medical doctors and the general public are becoming increasingly aware of their importance in treating underlying causes of disease and in maintaining good health. As good as allopathic medicine is, it simply has NO answer to the increasing incidence of auto-immune diseases, cancers and degenerative diseases in Western societies. Biological Sugars will soon become a part of standard care by medical practitioners for all auto-immune diseases, cancers, and degenerative diseases.  A "glyconutritional" approach gets at the root cause rather than treating only the symptoms.
