The 4 elements of a healthy body are:

1.Amino acids and proteins

2.Fatty acids and nucleic acids

3.Vitamins, minerals and trace elements

4.Carbohydrates

Today we will talk about the group of elements known as Carbohydrates:

For years many people thought that protein was the most critical element needed for the body to heal itself. However now research has uncovered a new ingredient in the mix. Carbohydrates. In recent years carbohydrates have been studied minutely this study is called glycobiology. This study has given rise to the emergence of important saccarides needed by our body known a Glyconutrients.

Carbohydrates and sugars are taken in by the body and then broken down into simple sugars. The body uses these sugars to produce energy. This is the single function that carbohydrates and sugars have. This fact was what scientists have thought for a long time. However new research has been conducted on carbohydrates and has proved some surprising factors about this group of saccarides.

Why does your body need Glyconutrients?

Due to several factors our food is not supplying us with enough of this critical nutrient known as Glyconutrients. These factors include changes in the environment, green harvesting and general bad eating habits. Stress can also play a part in contributing to our decline in health.

It can take a number of years for the body to show signs of deterioration but eventually this will lead to a decline in your health. Often the onset is insidious and you are not aware of the gradual downward turn in health. However over a period of time you will see that you are not as healthy as you could be and sometimes it is hard to know why. Many times this general weakening in health is due to the fact you are getting less Glyconutrients.

How do these Glyconutrients work?

The body's important binding and signaling receptors of the cells is made up of glycoprotein (sugars and proteins) these sugars are the saccarides known as Glyconutrients. These nutrients are essential to communication between the body's cells. Glyconutrients have been found to increase the activity of certain enzymes. These enzymes are used as blocking agents, which prevent toxins and harmful bacteria or viruses from penetrating the cells. The enzymes also act as suppression agents, stopping abnormal development in cells.

Ambrotose as a health supplement: How can it help you?

Mannatech has developed a supplement called Ambrotose Complex.

Ambrotose is a nutritional supplement, which provides Glyconutrients to the body it was developed in 1996 and is growing in popularity as a nutritional supplement.

As more research is done on Glyconutrients Ambrotose will be seen as an increasingly important health supplement necessary for the maintenance of your health and wellbeing. You will not only feel better when you take this supplement you will be able to enjoy a more active and fulfilling life.

Note: Glyconutrients nor Ambrotose are not intended to heal, treat, or cure any disease.
