Glyconutrient Information

Arabinogalactan is a highly branched polysaccharide consisting of a galactan backbone with side chains of galactose and arabinose sugars. Larch Arabinogalactan has several interesting properties, which appear to make it an ideal adjunctive supplement to consider in cancer protocols. Experimental studies have indicated Larch Arabinogalactan can stimulate natural killer (NK) cell cytotoxicity, enhance other functional aspects of the immune system, and inhibit the metastasis of tumor cells to the liver. The immune enhancing properties also suggest an array of clinical uses, both in preventive medicine, due to its ability to build a more responsive immune system, and in clinical medicine, as a therapeutic agent in conditions associated with lowered immune function, decreased NK activity, or chronic viral infection.Aloe Vera 200:1 The proprietary Aloe blend used in meets or exceeds the standards established by the International Aloe Science Councils' (IASC) Certification Program for the determination of purity, but more importantly, guarantees the retention of biological activity through a unique, patent pending manufacturing process. Additionally, "shifting" the higher molecular weight polysaccharides into the range discovered to be the Highly Active Fraction, has enhanced the efficacy provided by Nature. Through this patent pending process, the Aloe Vera used in can claim the retention of this fraction and, thereby consistently guarantee the retention of biological activity - not simply the "chemistry" of Aloe Vera. Because the temperature during processing is kept below 99 degrees Fahrenheit, the long polysaccharide chains remain intact, as they are found in nature. This low-heat process is successful in retaining a broad spectrum of polysaccharide chains (mannan molecules) which are the hardest to preserve. A chromatography study shows the concentration of polysaccharide chains ranges in size approximately 12,000 daltons to over 2,000,000 daltons. Saccharides found in Aloe include arabinose, galactose, galacturonic acid, mannose, rhamnose and xylose.Fenugreek has been used for centuries by practitioners of Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Research in the past two decades has shown that fenugreek seeds may help balance blood sugar in diabetics, and may also have beneficial effects on triglycerides.
