Glyconutrients were virtually unknown as little as 10 years ago. The whole group of carbohydrates and saccharides was largely neglected. With the advent of Glycobiology scientists have since come to learn an increasing amount about these vital nutrients.

Dr McAnalley did some of the first research with Glyconutrients in 1995. He developed and filed patents for Glyconutrient formulas in 1996. Scientists began to realize the importance of polysaccharides and Glyconutrients in the body and how taking supplements with these nutrients can be very beneficial to your health.

He and his research staff started their work when they isolated and researched acemannan from the Aloe Vera, plant. Aloe polymannose (acemannan) is a polysaccharide that is nontoxic. Many of the health benefits from this ancient healing plant can be credited to this natural polysaccharide. Since that time Dr McAnalley has invented over 66 patented products. He is a renowned speaker and held many prominent positions.

Because of his pioneer work on Polysaccharides and Glyconutrients a whole new research is being conducted into these nutrients. This is called Glycobiology (the study of Glyconutrients) Scientists are discovering more and more about the uses of these substances and their important functions in the body.

Having neglected the study of carbohydrates for so long scientists are just now taking steps to understand the complex make up of this class of foods. As they dig deeper they are uncovering the mysteries of the body functions and how the cells actually communicate with each other. They are also discovering the body
