The
Basics of Glyconutritionals
Optimal Wellness involves the body’s innate ability
to maintain, repair, regulate and protect itself as
well as to build new cells by utilizing daily vital
nutrients. A comparatively recent, but significant development
in the field of Glycobiology has been the introduction
of glyconutrients as nutritional supplements for health
support and their potential to help improve quality
of life. This course reviews the basics of the science
of glyconutrients and their wide-ranging involvement
in the manufacture, structure and function of glycoconjugates
necessary to optimize wellness. Additional reviews of
the science will expand into the areas of prebiotic
function, antioxidant activity and other aspects of
the broad spectrum potential benefits glyconutrient
supplements can play. |

and the basic underlying biochemical pathways involved
in glyconutrients.
- Examine individual glyconutrients and their important
roles in supporting and maintaining various aspects
of normal human biochemistry, physiology and organ
system functions.

Advanced
Glyconutrient Wellness Technology
Supporting normal physiological processes is crucial regardless
of whether one is striving to maintain or regain wellness
and optimal quality of life. Understanding the principles
of how glyconutrients are used by the body to help support
those processes is a key component to utilizing more integrative
approaches to health. Whether we are looking at the immune
system, cognitive function or a myriad of other bodily
functions, glyconutrients are major nutritional players.
Measuring appropriate Biomarkers of Wellness can help
us evaluate an individual’s progress. |

- Define major principles of glyconutrient utilization
by the body to maintain or facilitate normal physiological
processes.
- Review biomarkers of wellness and their application
to help evaluate the body’s utilization of nutritional
support.
