Glyconutrient is a term used by the multi-level marketing company Mannatech, and other supplement vendors, to describe dietary supplements that contain a blend of simple sugars (monosaccharides) which are found in glycoproteins.
Dr. David Wheeler proposes a different theory about glyconutrients in terms of essential sugars. He proposes that there are only two essential sugars to facilitate effective cell to cell communication in the immune system and globally throughout all cells: mannose and galactose. These two essential sugars come from aloe vera gel in the form of galactomannans. You can read more about Dr. Wheeler's theories and the glyconutrient products he has developed at www.davidwheeler.com (the reference to Dr Wheeler's research and development about glyconutrients was previously deleted from this page and for those who read this page and want to contribute to knowledge about glyconutrients via their own input please be respectful of other people's opinions on wikipedia)....
