Frequently Asked Questions
- These are just Sugars, why do you call them SUPER Glyconutrients™?
These are very special sugars. They are called glycoproteins and have only been known for a few decades so they are relatively new to the medical field and few doctors have ever heard of them. These very special sugars have been shown to have very special healing abilities that no one had ever imagined possible before their discovery on cell membranes.
- What do you mean by "SUPER" Glyconutrients?
Most Glyconutrients on the market today contain mainly inexpensive herbal supplements and fillers with a little Glucosamine and Mannose sprinkled in. They do not supply you with large therapeutic amounts of the four glycoproteins that are in very short supply in your body: Fucose, Xylose, N-Acetly-Galactosamine and N-Acetyl-Neuraminic Acid (Sialic Acid).
When you read the literature that promotes the virtues of the glconutrients you need to take into account that these results were obtained by researchers using these sugars in their pure form and not in trace amounts as found in herbal glyconutrient supplements.
Our SUPER Glyconutrients™ are different from all other Glyconutrients on the market because we only use All Pure Glycoprtoeins in our products. This produces a product where you will see results in hours instead of many months to years as all other Glyconutrient products require.
Additionally, using the pure glycoproteins eliminates the allergic risk associated will other Glyconutrient products. Even diabetics have no problem taking these seven sugars in their pure form. As there is no Shark Cartilage, Aloe or Whey supplements in our products, as is used in most other Glyconutrient products on the market, almost everyone can take SUPER Glyconutrients™ without any problems.
- When I get a cold and take your Cold Booster product I usually feel a lot better right away but when I take the second capsule I don't see anything at all happen. Then for the next day or two, while I am not sick, I still don't feel as if I am ok. What is going on?
What you are experiencing is completely normal. What is going on is that you have been conditioned to the current way illnesses are treated. With SUPER Glyconutrients you have to rethink being cured. With SUPER Glyconutrients™ you get well within a few hours but it takes several days for your body to get rid of all the dead viral agents and repair the cells they damaged. This generally takes a day or two after all the bugs are dead.
Please read the "Basic Overview" at the top of our "How they Work" page. This will go into much greater detail in answering your question.
- There are eight Glycoproteins, why don't you provide all eight?
The missing sugar is Glucose. You get too much of this sugar as it is. Adding more glucose to your diet through a dietary supplement would not provide any benefit to you and it would just take up space in the capsule that could be better used by another sugar that you don't get in your diet.
- Your SUPER Glyconutrients™ sounds a lot like the Glyconutrients being sold on the Internet. What the difference between what you have any everyone else has?
Everyone else is selling Glyconutrient Supplements that only contain very small trace amounts of the rearest four sugars in them.
We only sell the Pure Glycoproteins with no fillers, no herbal supplements and no non-sugar constituents. Generally, our products offer 1000 times the amounts of these four very rare sugars in one small capsule than are available from taking large doses of herbal and animal supplements, even if you take multiple doses of these supplements several times a day seven days a week.
- Why do you sell these sugars as stand alone powders as well?
These sugars are extremely expensive and hard to get, so we make small amounts available for those who would like to make their own recipes.
- Who is your supplier for your pure sugars?
We buy from certified pharmaceutical manufacturers all over the world. So far we have not found a single supplier who made all of these sugars. As some manufacturers specify in certain products they have a better price on one sugar and a not so attractive price on another.
We did find that the manufacturers in the US were the very highest of all and their quality was no better and some time not as good as could be obtained over seas.
- How difficult is it buying these sugars from over seas manufacturers?
Everything is relative. Generally you have to wire transfer the money to them days or weeks before they will ship. You have to trust them a lot. The first order was always my scarest. Then you have to hire a broker, at the inbound location site, and fill in the paperwork. Generally, after the first time this isn't too bad but it varies with each different manufacturer even from the same country.
Our January 2007 shippment caught us off guard as this time the FDA siezed our shippment and held it requiring additional paperwork. But we prevailed and it only took two extra days. The number one point here is to order as big as you can afford so you won't have to do this very often.
- Have you tried your products?
Yes. My wife and I have been taking them weekly since 2007.
- Mannatech already sells these Glycoproteins in its products all over the world why do we need another company selling the same thing?
You are comparing Aples and Oranges. We don't sell supplements and Mannatech only sells supplements. We sell all the Glycoproteins in their pure form and Mannatech doesn't.

- What is the difference between Supplements and the SUPER Glyconutrients™?
Supplements have been readily available for decades and mainly consist of ground up plant parts. Supplements have been used for centuries to cure illness and disease. Supplements have been found to be good to treat most of the non-life threatening illnesses known. Modern day medical science has finally recognized Supplements as having their own place in medicine. However, Supplements only have trace amounts of the Essential Sugars in them.
SUPER Glyconutrients™ are not Supplements as they are not ground up plant parts but instead made synthetically in a laboratory the same as prescription medications are made. While these Sugars don't have as many advertised cures associated with them what they do have is extraordinary. When you get therapeutic doses of these Sugars you see results in minutes not months or years as is customary when using Supplements.
- Why do you say your products can cure a cold when we all know viruses can't be killed?
The first antiviral medications came out over 50 years ago. By the 1970s the FDA had started approving antiviral medications for humans. There are several independent research papers located in our Clinical Reports section that discuss how effective these sugars are at killing virus.
- Why are you products so expensive?
If you know anything about glyconutrients then you know about Mannatech (the largest seller of glyconutrients in the world). Their main wellness product (which is a powder) sells for $150 a month under contract. A months supply of our Wellness capsules is less than one half their price.
SUPER Glyconutrients™ are not inexpensive to manufacture as glyconutrients are. SUPER Glyconutrient&treg; ingredients are more expensive than Gold on an ounce to ounce basis. The largest seller of pharmaceutical grade ingredients in the world is Sigma Aldrich,
http://www.sigmaaldrich.com/united-states.html
All of the large pharmaceutical manufacturers in the world buy ingredients from them. Go to their web site and search on CAS No. (upper right corner of their web page) and enter 131-48-6 (this is the CAS # for Sialic Acid which is one of the required ingredients in some SUPER Glyconutrient&trge; compounds). The Sigma prices for it vary from $547 USD/gram to $1,600 USD/gram depending on the purity you need. The spot price for Gold on the other hand is only $33 USD/gram.
Each capsule of our SUPER Glyconutrients™ contain 250 mg (1/4 gram +/- 10%) of these very expensive ingredients. GalNac is another ingredient that is a lot more difficult to find and buy than Sialic Acid.
- If your products are so good why doesn't the FDA approve them?
The FDA is a United States Government agency. It requires a filing fee for each product that you want to have approved. The application filing fee is $1,250,000.00 USD per product and that doesn't guarantee approval.
Unlike popular belief the FDA has no interests in getting medications that actually cure disease into the hands of the people who need it. Their only interests is that new products don't kill too many people. There is no place on their applications to put down how well your product has been shown to work in curing disease in human trials, the FDA simply has no interests. The public has the mistaken belief that if the FDA approves something that it must be good and works. Nothing could be further from the truth.
I was talking to a group of doctors recently and the remark was made that there will never be an approved cure for cancer as the drug companies make 50 times as much money letting people die slowly than they would by curing them. Think about it for a minute, sickness generates money and wellness doesn't!
Did you hear about the Medical Doctor in Texas who has a 30% cure rate for cancer and the FDA has harassed him for the last 20 years and even taken him to court on criminal charges in order to stop him from helping dying cancer patients. It wasn't until a US senator became involved that the FDA reluctantly gave him a approval to run trials using his own medications but even then he is only allowed to treat people who the medical profession have given up on but his cure is extremely expensive.

- If your products are so good then why hasn't a major drug company jumped on them?
The major drug companies are only interested in bottom line profits and nothing else. If the executives don't keep the dividends up for their stock holders they will be replaced with people who will. Lets face it sickness is extremely profitable. Why cure the common cold with a $10 cold capsule, when you could sell $80 of worthless cold medications over and over for the same illness. Why cure cancer with $20 capsules when chemo drugs bring in over $100 Billion a year. The fact that people are dying does not enter into the equation.
Another problem when dealing with the large drug companies is they require the new product to be able to generate at least a billion dollars over its life time. The companies I have spoken to and were candid enough to tell me what was going on said each of our products may be able to generate in the hundreds of million of dollars in their life time but not in the billions which means its too low for them to waste time considering. They would not consider our whole line of products as a package but would only consider each product by itself.
Another problem in dealing with the large pharmaceutical companies is they have products for the same diseases as our products but they don't work as good or as fast as our products do. However, their products are already in the market place and have been approved by the FDA (at a very huge cost) so everything they make from now on is just pure profit for them. To start with our products it will take them years to get full FDA approval and cost tens of millions of dollars. The fact that our products are so much easier to make means they would have to sell them for less money than what they are currently selling their competing products for. Which means their old line would die out and the new line, from our products, would bring them substantially less money than they are currently making.
- Based on your comments the only logical thought is your products don't work and this is a scam?
I am not sure where you came up with that but you are wrong. Independent research testing has been going on for the last 40 years and all have found these pure sugars to be extraordinary disease fighters like nothing ever seen before. There are research papers in our Clinical Reports section where you can read some of these research papers. If you like you can also read them on PubMed.com a US Government research data base maintained by the NIH. This data base contains excerpts, sometimes whole papers, from all of the major health publication in the world. A lot of this research has been funded by the NIH as well. The major world drug companies have know about the extraordinary curative properties of these sugars for many years but have showed no interests in developing them to cure disease.
In addition to independent research we have been doing our own product research. While refining these products we have run numerous human tests to verify and document the results of our products. This in-house testing is still going on. Unlike glyconutrients that take many months to years to see any results SUPER Glyconutrients™ work in hours at fighting disease. We have filed five US patent application to protect our findings.
- What is the shelf life of these products?
These products don't like heat, humidity or light. If you keep them in the medicine cabinet they are good for maybe two months depending on how high the humidity gets where you are. If you keep them in the refrigerator they are good for up to six months (in the back of the refrigerator). If you keep them in the freezer (in the bottom in a plastic zip lock bag) a year to 18 months. If you store them in the bottom of the freezer at -10 F (or below) in a double heat sealed vacuum bag they should be good for five to seven years. A vacuum heat sealer will cost under $100 at Kmart or Target drug store.
