What are Polysaccharides or Glyconutrients?                                            Himalayan Goji berry is possibly the richest natural source of polysaccharides or glyconutrients on earth! Polysaccharides or Glyconutrients are not vitamins, minerals, amino acids or enzymes, but they are in a class of their own.  Glyconutritional supplements are formulated based on new understanding in the biochemistry of how the human body maintains health at the cellular level. Healthy cells lead to healthy tissue - healthy tissue leads to healthy organs - and healthy organs lead to healthy bodies. Despite the relatively recent discovery of glyconutrients and their functions, medical doctors and the general public are becoming increasingly aware of their importance in treating underlying causes of disease and in maintaining good health. A glyconutritional approach gets at the root cause rather than treating only the symptoms. Polysaccharides are often referred to as the "missing link" between what we eat and what our bodies need for optimal functioning. The scientists and nutritionists are just beginning to understand complex role these sugars  play in our body. Their main role is facilitating cell to cell communication.
