With the new path I’m slowly moving down along, naturally I’m looking for new information for vitamins to make sure I’m getting all of the nutrients that I need throughout the day. I know to drink about 8 glasses of water, I know to only eat food in moderation and a multi-vitamin without fish oil because of my severe allergy (hard to find) is something I take on a regular basis. I came across some new information today on something called: glyconutrients.
I had to do a bit of reading to find out exactly what it was but a quick break down would be:
Glyconutrients refers to mixtures of polysaccharides, such as exudate tree gums and high molecular weight aloe vera extracts containing fermentable dietary fiber and plant extracts, as well as simple sugars or starch. Identifies the contents of Ambrotose, as “a glyconutritional dietary supplement ingredient consisting of a blend of monosaccharides, or sugar molecules.” In the marketing literature, these sugars are said to be the following eight simple sugars: Xylose, Fucose, Galactose, Glucose, Mannose, N-acetylgalactosamine, N-acetylglucosamine, and N-acetylneuraminic acid.
Now according to glycoinformation.com, There are a wide number of health issues and concerns, which scientists have begun to link or believe, may be related to a deficiency of Glyconutrients. It is a good idea to speak with your primary care doctor, they maybe able to tell you if your medical concerns are in any way related to a lack of Glyconutrients or tell you if taking a supplement of Glyconutrients is right for you. As with any supplement, it is best to get a doctor’s OK before adding it to your daily routine. Glyconutrients are an important and necessary part of your cellular structure and seeing to it that you have the proper amount in your body is part of maintaining good health. Consider speaking with your doctor about whether or not a Glyconutrients supplement is right for you.
I’m not quite sure if this is the way I’m going to go, being on a diet I’d like to get rid of the sugar content in my body. You don’t need sugar to live, there are natural sources out there like fruit and even some vegetables I hear.
But for those whom are far more health conscious than I am, I say looking into some more information about the topic, glycoinformation.com has quite a few resources in regards to it, as well as a blog with even more information.
