Course Overview
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.

COURSE - 1 Introduction to GlycoNutritional Technology Click here to purchase this course only
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.
Presented by Dr. John Rollins.
