What glyconutrient-products should we be taking?

Our body is said to be in a state of 'dis-ease' when its immune system is having to work hard in response to some pathogen or toxin or some other stress, and consequently is not at its normal state of 'ease' and balance.

Basically there are three things that lower your immune system’s response so that it does not defend and eliminate as it should.

Starvation, Toxicity and Stress, whether physical or emotional, all weaken the body and can limit immune response effectiveness.

To be able to defend and repair, and keep our tissues in a healthy state, our cells need to be in top condition and to be communicating successfully. If our body is deficient in some nutrients, it is not able to do the job of defending or repairing our tissues as well as it should. By adding those nutrients that are commonly deficient in our diets, we give our immune system the ability to respond more effectively to whatever stress or invasion it encounters.

Our body is an amazing machine and to enable it to operate efficiently, it needs:

air - good clean air which, of course, is not always available in our modern world
water - also, sadly, often contaminated with all sorts of toxins these days
sleep - regular and undisturbed serves us best
exercise - it's important to get some exercise every day
good nutrition - none of us gets all the nutrients that our body needs just from our diet.

To keep the cells which maintain our immune system and therefore our bodies, in an optimal health situation, we need to be providing them with the necessary nutrients to avoid a breakdown in the biological communication pathways between the cells.

"Healthy Cells mean Healthy Bodies"

So, regardless of whether our body has got into a dis-ease situation, or whether we are showing no symptoms of a breakdown and are feeling 'healthy', we need to keep our cells fed with the nutrients necessary to ensure we stay in an 'optimal health situation'. These nutrients are vital to our body's wellbeing.

"Every Body Needs Added Supplements"

There are a myriad of different supplements available in the marketplace. We need to be very careful, though, about what we choose to put into our body. I won't go into great detail here - you can read more by clicking here. (a new window will open so you can come back) - but keep in mind that the best nutritional supplements are those that are composed of and derived from whole foods. Unfortunately, not only do most supplements NOT contain whole foods, they often use synthetic vitamins developed in a chemical laboratory.

This information is about products that I, personally, have had great results with, from a company that I know and trust. Mannatech was established in 1994 with a vision to provide Better Solutions to Global Health and a Mission of Hope, Health, and Opportunity.

All their products are developed on a solid foundation of science and based on the premise that real nutrition can most effectively support the body's ability to achieve and maintain optimal health. The backbone of the Mannatech range of 'Optimal Health Products' was developed following the initial breakthrough discovery in the field of glyconutrients.

Mannatech's product family has grown to encompass nutritional supplements in a number of different health areas, including wellness management, performance nutrition, lifestyle management and skin care, all reinforcing the overall purpose to bring wellness solutions to the world.

OPTIMAL HEALTH PRODUCTS

Advanced Ambrotose Complex® - the "missing link" in human nutrition.

Why? Because it does what no vitamin, mineral, amino acid or herbal can do. It helps nourish, control and support every cell in your body. Made from the richest plant sources, Ambrotose® complex allows your cells to communicate the way they should.

In 1996, researchers at Mannatech filed a US patent on this breakthrough technology that actually harnesses the glyconutrients in plants. Patents have been issued for Australia, New Zealand, United States and several Asian and European countries. Glyconutrients help support your body's immune system, allowing your cells to send and translate messages to each other enabling them to communicate clearly and operate efficiently.

About Ambrotose® Complex:

Ambrotose® has been specifically designed to support cellular communication, helping to maintain general well-being. It is a key component of optimal health and is a natural way to support your quality of life:

Glyconutritional supplements, which provide various saccharides including mannose, are a source of carbohydrates.
Communication between invading pathogens and human host cells occurs through carbohydrate interactions, and this leads to host immune responses.
Carbohydrates are involved in many aspects of immune system function, including non-specific defenses, macrophage activation, and cell tissue migration.
Carbohydrates are important to cell-to-cell communication signals that direct immune cells where to leave the blood stream. These carbohydrates are pivotal to migration patterns of cells and host defense.
Carbohydrates play a role in modulating the immune system, by either activating or inactivating natural killer cell activity. Natural killer cells are essential for a normal, healthy, immune system.
Helps maintain healthy digestive function.
Aids, assists or helps in the maintenance or improvement of general well-being.

Ingredients: Beta carotene, Proprietary plant polysaccharide blend (Ambrotose® complex) Aloe barbadensis inner leaf juice dry, Larix arabinogalactan, tragacanth, glucosamine hydrochloride, Undaria pinnatifida blade and stem powder, rice starch.

Essential Source™ Omega-3 is amongst the purest fish oil supplements available. Mannatech's proprietary, two-step molecular distillation process means that contaminants are eliminated to achieve a pharmaceutical-grade standard of purity that is amongst the highest in the industry.

Brimming with EPA and DHA Essential Source™ Omega-3 provides more EPA and DHA than many other supplements and does so affordably. It's easy on the pocket and high in quality.

PhytoMatrix - complete vitamin and mineral nourishment.

The nutritional value of many fruits and vegetables has been compromised by modern farming practices.Experts agree that supplementation can provide the body with these missing nutrients. Unfortunately, many supplements contain synthetic, chemically derived, mined or chelated minerals and vitamins that studies show are not readily absorbed or used by the body.

PhytoMatrix™ contains vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals that have been absorbed by a plant's roots and stored in its tissue. When harvested, these plants provide all-natural ingredients.

PhytoMatrix™ is a plant-sourced multivitamin and supplement utilising proprietary technology to provide superior delivery of essential vitamins, minerals and important phyto-chemicals. The human body is genetically designed to obtain nutrients from organic food sources, so the plant based delivery in PhytoMatrix™ provides greater absorption and utilisation of nutrients than other existing supplement technologies.

The most distinguishing feature of PhytoMatrix™ is the inclusion of hydroponically grown Brassica juncea (Indian Mustard Plant). This plant is known for its ability to concentrate high levels of essential minerals. The hydroponic process allows for controlled uptake of concentrated minerals which can be metabolised into a food form and delivered with other phyto-chemicals.
