What are GLYCONUTRITIONALS? 

Glyconutritionals or Glyconutrients:

These are a special class of carbohydrates that your body uses to create glycoproteins, compounds which are essential for proper cell-to-cell communication.  Cell-to-cell communication is a process that is integral to every aspect of your health.

Your body requires 8 different glyconutritionals, but only 2 of those are found in any amount in our modern day diets. That is why you should take a complete glyconutrient supplement. Without it, your body will be unable to properly build glycoproteins, which can cause great detriment to your health.


Where to obtain glyconutrients

The only practical way to take glyconutritionals is from a glyconutrient supplement. We recommend glyconutrients, from Mannatech as it is the only product on the market with all 8 glyconutrients contained in it. 

They reason we also advise that you consider our recommended products is because they each contain glyconutrients, phytonutrients, antioxidants, and vitamins/minerals.

What The Experts Are Saying About Glyconutrients: "Such results as these I have not seen before in my 60 years as a Doctor!! Glyconutrients are fully documented to be safe, non-toxic, do not interfere with Rx drugs, and they work!" -- Rayburne Goen, M.D. "The Biggest revolutionary change in the war against disease is represented by Glyconutrients." -- Dr. M. Schlachter, MD
