1 serving fruits & vegetables - Supports proper cell communication Supports immune function Supports healthy blood sugar metabolism Support cardiovascular health Dietary supplement Easy-to-swallow vegetarian capsules - Based on antioxidant (ORAC) equivalents According to Master Herbalist Rita Elkins, in her book Miracle Sugars, every disease or disorder boils down to three main things: Deficiencies of vital (essential) nutrients Free radical damage form processed foods, bad fats, ultraviolet rays and environmental toxins to name just a few A malfunctioning immune system Statistically it has been shown that North Americans are consuming fewer than 2 to 3 servings of fruits and vegetables a day. This is key in understanding why many different types of diseases affect our bodies. Nature provides these nutrient-packed fruits and vegetables for the purpose of supplying necessary and essential elements for survival. There are certain elements that we have come to know as essential. Simply put, essential means "... must be supplied by the diet." Things such as essential amino acids, essential fatty acids and essential vitamins and minerals are more commonly understood. The idea of an essential sugar causes much question. Current research has exposed that there are 8 essential carbohydrates that are just as essential as any other essential element. These essential carbohydrates are not to be confused with table sugar. Table sugar is something that we all know and is not in short supply. These essential 8 carbohydrates (monosaccharides) are called: Glucose (common to our diet) Galactose (common to our diet in the form of milk sugar) Fucose (non-existent in a standard American diet) Mannose (non-existent in a standard American diet) Xylose (non-existent in a standard American diet) N-acetyl- neuraminic acid (non-existent in a standard American diet) N-acetyl glucosamine (non-existent in a standard American diet) N-acetyl galactosamine (non-existent in a standard American diet) These 8 sugars are things that you may not recognize but they perform vital tasks for the body. They collectively provide a means for each of our cells to communicate. Cell communication is key in areas of immune function, blood sugar metabolism, cardiovascular health, joint and bone health. The lack of any one or more of these essential glyconutrients is the same as if we removed vowels from our alphabet. Without vowels we would be unable to communicate properly. Without proper cell communication, our body ages and falls prey to multiple forms of disease. Country Life's Glyconutrient Complex is a combination of GlycoBerry 8 (a complex of all 8 essential sugars) and Organic Aloe Vera (ACTIValoe). This combination supports: Proper cell communication Healthy blood sugar metabolism Immune function Cardiovascular health GlycoBerry 8 is derived from coffee berry (no caffeine), aspergillus niger, bladderwrack, and whey protein isolate. VeriCell Testing is a clinical verification method that illustrates the effect that particular foods have on active biological processes of the body. Certain blood markers (enzymes) and their activity have been indentified as tools to monitor health benefits received from certain foods. Being almost entirely derived from organic foods, Real Food Organics Glyconutrient Complex has been verified to support the following: Strongly supports an increase in the body's internal antioxidant system and helps maintain healthier internal ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) levels. Clinical research indicates that antioxidants are key in minimizing the effects tha
