Advanced Glyconutrients Formula

Physician Tested / Patient Endorsed

The Greek word "Glyco" means "Sugar". Most people think of sugar as being bad for you. Scientists have found that out of the 215 saccharides found in nature, there are eight that are essential to the human body. And, in the Western diet, we are only getting two out of the eight. One is the refined or "extracellular" sugars which have been long associated with human disease. The other sugars are "intracellular" which can be found in fruits and vegetables and provide the body with nutrition it needs. These sugars, also known as "complex carbohydrates" have been studied for years. However, only recently have we begun discovering their purpose in the body. Complete glyconutrition provides immune balance, fortification, and maintenance. We don't want an overactive immune system we don't want an under active immune system what we want, is an immune system that is "just right."

You Should Consider Glyconutrient Supplementation If Any Of The Following Apply:

• Do you get recurring colds and sore throats easily?

• Do you or other members of your family fight chronic infections?

• Does cancer run in your family?

• Would you like to make your family more disease-resistant with advanced immune support for life?

• Would you like to shorten the duration of infections without becoming dependent on antibiotics?

"Even tiny amounts of these sugars--or lack of them--have profound effects. In test after test conducted at leading institutes around the world, these saccharides have been shown to lower cholesterol, increase lean muscle mass, decrease body fat, accelerate wound healing, ease allergy symptoms, and allay autoimmune diseases such as arthritis, psoriasis, and diabetes. Bacterial infections, including the recurrent ear infections that plague toddlers, often respond remarkably to saccharides, as do many viruses--from the common cold to the flu, from herpes to HIV.

The debilitating symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, and Gulf War syndrome frequently abate after adding saccharides. And, for cancer patients, saccharides mitigate the toxic effects of radiation and chemotherapy--while augmenting their cancer-killing effects, resulting in prolonged survival and improved quality of life." From the book Sugars That Heal by: Rita Elkins M.H.

The eight essential saccharides our bodies need are mannose, glucose, galactose, xylose, fucose (not to be confused with fructose), N-acetylglucosamine, N-acetylgalactosamine, and N-acetylneuraminic acid. These eight essential saccharides compose the main focus of Sugars That Heal. Only two of these essential sugars, glucose (found in plants and table sugar) and galactose (found in milk products and certain pectins), are common in our diets.

Although fructose, found in fruits and table sugar, is also a part of most diets, it's not an essential saccharide.

A Few of the Benefits of Complete Glyconutrient Supplementation
Reported in the Scientific Literature:

• May improve biomarkers of aging: increase muscle mass, decrease percent body fat, improve strength, increase aerobic capacity, balance and maintain blood pressure, increase and maintain bone density, normalize blood glucose tolerance levels, and optimize cholesterol / HDL ratio.

• Significantly increasing intellectual performance and increasing productivity by reversing genetic disorders, decreasing chronic and degenerative health problems, including enhancing immune system functioning to reduce the risk of succumbing to bacterial and viral infections.

• May improve symptoms of autoimmune disorders such as: lupus, parkinson's, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia.

• May improve symptoms of immune system disorders, including asthma, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, heart disease, diabetes, etc.

• Documentation of resolving pre-cancerous and cancerous conditions, including enhancing efficacy of chemotherapy during cancer treatments.

• May improve symptoms of Down Syndrome, Cystic Fybrosis (#1 genetic killer of children), autism and related disorders, and others.

• May enhance brain functioning and increased energy levels sustained throughout the entire day (more peak-productivity hours intellectually and energetically).

• Restore neurological functioning to balanced, healthy levels, significantly reducing the need for chemical interventions to control neurological challenges such as: ADD / ADHD, learning disorders, depression, autism, Tourettes, dementias, bipolar, etc. Remember, we do not have Ritalin-deficiencies or antidepressant deficiencies; we suffer from nutritional deficiencies.

• Significantly increasing athletic performance, reducing recovery time and increasing integrity and strength of joints, ligaments and muscles.

• May regenerate nervous system functioning. Experiments performed on paraplegic and quadriplegic mice reveals that glyconutrient supplementation regenerates the nervous system to the point of restoring movement in previously paralyzed limbs.

Premier 8 contains all eight Glyconutrients that have been dubbed "miracle sugars".

Supplement Facts

Contents: 120 gram tub. (Approximately 1-2 month supply)

Ingredients: Proprietary blend of Beta (1/3,1/6) Glucans, Acetylated Mannans, Arabinogalactin, Red Algae, Glucosamine HCI, Whey Protein Isolate, Gum Ghatti, Organic Brown Rice Flour.

Usage: 1 scoop in organic apple juice 1x daily mid-morning or as recommended by your healthcare professional. For severe symptoms take 1 scoop in organic apple juice 2x daily with the last dose before 4:00 p.m. Maintenance: 1/2 scoop in organic apple juice 1x daily.

Important: For some people, loose bowel movements or soft stools are normal when using glyconutrients, particularly when first beginning. Mild cramping and gas, which usually subside within a few days to a few weeks, are also normal side effects for some people. If you experience these effects, cut back on your intake or take the glyconutrients only with meals. Some research suggests that supplementing with Vitamin C will curtail these digestive problems. If problems persist discontinue use and see your healthcare professional.

Taking the Mystery out of Glyconutrients Once And For All

Over the last decade, medical research has revealed sugars that coat the surface of the cell which enables the cells to talk to each other. This cutting-edge technology is called Glycobiology. Sugars regarded mainly as energy yielding molecules are now known to combine with proteins and fats (Glycoproteins) to enable clear cell to cell communication. Science has discovered that these sugar-bound (glycoproteins) proteins work to give our cells their structural support network and perhaps most important of all, create a complex cellular messaging system.

Because the pharmaceutical industry now recognizes the tremendous potential of Glycoproteins, the National Institutes of Health awarded a five-year, multi-million dollar grant in October of 2001, to develop synthetic sugar chains for use in synthetic drugs. Pharmacy companies are only interested in ingredients that they can patent. Scientists at the University of California at Irvine, in 1998, determined that eight monosaccharides are required for the creation of Glycoproteins. These are listed in the Harper's Biochemistry Textbook. All the information needed to build an 8 sugar glyconutrient product is available in the public domain. In the opinion of this writer, any good chemist, doctor or pharmacist could put these 8 sugars together. This is not rocket science.

The Physician's Desk Reference, which is the gold-standard for all medical doctors, lists glyconutrients in the non-prescription drug and dietary supplement section. If glyconutrients could be patented they would not be listed under this section. The PDR is used by 99% of all doctors and healthcare professionals in the USA before recommending solutions to their patients. Glyconutrients are now listed here for compromised immune systems. Any Physician or Pharmacist can find information on glyconutrients in the PDR.

In November, 2001, a congressional subcommittee was addressed on Bio Terrorism and the evidence supporting the potential for glyconutrients and micronutrient dietary supplementation to support natural defense and healing mechanisms to ameliorate bacterial, viral and fungal infections due to the outstanding results of glyconutrients on the human immune system.

In Harpers Biochemistry by Dr. R. K. Murray, the main biochemistry textbook required by doctors during their medical training, healthcare professionals only started hearing about Glyconutrients and their role in health and healing when in 1996 Chapter 56 was edited to indicate there were 8 (not 2) Essential Carbohydrates. Doctors who graduated before 1996 most likely are not even aware of this new information.

While you may be able to patent a particular "formula, combination or name" of glyconutrients, the glycos themselves (which occur naturally in nature) cannot be patented. If this is of concern to you then you are encouraged to do the research and contact the US & Patent Trademark Office and/or the University Of Irvine Science Department.

Some have asked about using organic brown rice. Organic brown rice is used for its glucose content and so that the sugars do not stick together. There is a ton of info on the internet about the benefits of organic brown rice all of which are available to those who want to research it out. Organic brown rice is an excellent source of manganese, and a good source of the minerals selenium and magnesium.

Manganese is a critical component of a very important antioxidant enzyme called superoxide dismutase. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is found exclusively inside the body's mitochondria (the oxygen-based energy factories inside most of our cells) where it provides protection against damage from the free radicals produced during energy production. The organic brown rice is actually a wonderful additive for glyconutrients.As said above, no one company has the exclusive on glyconutrients. Some are found naturally in the body and all can be absorbed in the body from plant and animal sources. While names and formulas are patentable, the sugars themselves are not patentable. As I write this many pharmaceutical companies are trying their best to come up with a synthetic version of all 8 sugars, and have been trying for some time. As with all other synthetic meds, you just cannot improve on nature. Some would say this is a huge piece of the puzzle as to why people stay sick. Possibility? We will leave that up to you.
