Glyconutrients: Healthy Cells Make Healthy Bodies

For thousands of years, people have turned to the healing properties of plants to improve their health. Through trial and error within communities, these plants were then either added to people’s daily diets, or used when necessary to combat particular symptoms.

To this day, scientists are still researching and working with plants from around the world and making them available via health supplements to the global community. A well known example of this modern practice is Aloe Vera, a plant that has been recognised as offering medicinal benefits for centuries.

For some time Aloe Vera was considered to just be fiber, which would explain its relevance to the gastro intestinal system, but no further benefits. This belief was shattered in the 1980s when Dr Bill McAnalley, a PhD pharmacologist, discovered that the key active ingredient within Aloe Vera was actually a polysaccharide.

This explained why Aloe Vera offers such wide health benefits, and Dr McAnalley began researching other polysaccharides for similar results. He identified a further seven polysaccharides that are used by the body to enable individual cells to communicate. The body’s every communication, instruction and requirement is expressed via chains of these eight polysaccharides, which Dr McAnalley termed ‘glyconutrients’.

Given an adequate supply of glyconutrients, our body is able to communicate its every need – including change of temperature, alerting the body that a threat (a virus or enemy cell) has been located, and identifying that another cell is friendly and not a threat. This is the basic process that allows the body to function and remain healthy.

Dr McAnalley discovered, however, that glyconutrients cannot be produced by the body itself and must therefore be provided through diet. However, many of the eight polysaccharides that combine to form the glyconutrient chain are sourced from plant gums and algae that are not present in most people’s diets.

It was therefore discovered that supplementing these polysaccharides is vital. Dr McAnalley developed a correctly balanced glyconutrient complex called Ambrotose, which has been granted over 40 patents worldwide. Each patent demonstrates that the country or area in which it was granted recognises that Ambrotose contains the correct balance of glyconutrients and that glyconutrients are necessary for cell-to-cell communication within the body.

Ambrotose does not claim to fight any particular diseases or health problems. Rather, it focuses on enabling the body to do what it would naturally do in an ideal world free from pollution, poor quality food and chemical farming. Taking Ambrotose every day will improve your body’s basic functioning by enabling each cell to communicate its needs consistently.
Ambrotose is a supplement that I use every day religiously, and I recommend that all of my clients (whatever their current state of health) do the same. I have personally used Ambrotose for three years. If you'd like to know more about my firsthand experiences of using Ambrotose, you can contact me at katiektk@hotmail.co.uk
Please note: the prices on this website are in US Dollars. Ambrotose is available in all countries; if you are outside the US, please leave your details and I will get back to you with pricing details for your country.
To your wellbeing
