Glyconutrients = Saccharides = Healthy Sugars

With reading on Phytoplankton, I also started reading regards the importance of glyconutrients = saccharides = healthy sugars...

Glyconutrients seem to be much more important than I would've thought...


I've searched here on eSens, and (only) Marc wrote about this a couple of years ago:

Also, when I suggested to eat things high in
polysaccarides, I didn't realize that this was
already a popular, proven way to recover from
chronic fatigue. These foods are called
"Glyco-Nutrients", and are unique because they
contain "essential sugars" that ill people cannot
manufacture on their own. So, if you're not eating
some specific foods (kelp, aloe vera, oats, echinacea,
bovine cartlidge, shiitake mushroom, etc.),
then you're probably not getting these sugars.
There's a company called MannaTech which sells
a supplement called Ambrotose that contains all
8 essential sugars and has a wide range
of positive testimonials -- I'm going to try
this to see if it can be used to replace the
aloe vera juice and "Sea Energy" that I've been
consuming every day for a LONG time...

Yes, I have certainly noticed some benefit in taking glyconutrients
(I've gone through many bottles of "Ambrotose", a glyconutrient
supplement), however I can't say that it was of any benefit to
ES symptoms.

Now, kelp and oats I do think have been beneficial in reducing
computer symptoms short-term, so you might find these helpful
(although I read that many people do not tolerate oats)
