Arrowwind, would you use this supplement everyday, or just when you had a problem?

Well, I've never used glyconutrients but had considered it and remember when I tried to set up a group to make homemade glyconutrients? that really ended up going nowhere. Cost has kept me away from them in the past.

I think that it would be fortifying to take them daily. Sick people get pretty good results so I imagine it could keep you from getting sick and of course super nutrition forestalls some aspects of aging.

Nutritional problems in aging are due in part to an inability to metabolize nutrients. I think that in this form it would make it easier. I would have to consider if it is better to take with a meal when full digestive processes are in action or not. Most likely with a meal.

Interesting that this product is made from the Coffee Berry!

If you want the capsules as opposed to the powder this is the best price I have found:

Yes, as I recall, Harry once posted that green coffee beans were effective in treating hypertension.

Green coffee bean extract improves human vasoreactivity.
Hypertension Research. 2004 Oct;27(10):731-7.
Biological Science Laboratories, Kao Corp, Tochigi, Japan.
Our previous study revealed the antihypertensive effects of green coffee bean extract ingestion in spontaneously hypertensive rats. We suggested that this antihypertensive action was due to the fact that green coffee bean extract contains chlorogenic acid (CQA) as a major phenolic compound, and CQA in turn contains ferulic acid as a metabolic component that acts on nitric oxide (NO) derived from the vascular endothelium. In this study, the effects of green coffee bean extract on blood vessels were evaluated in healthy males. The subjects were 20 healthy males with reduced vasodilation responses measured by strain gauge plethysmograms (SPG) to ischemic reactive hyperemia. Of the 20 subjects, 10 (mean age, 37.2 years) ingested a test drink containing green coffee bean extract (CQA: 140 mg/day), and the other 10 (mean age, 34.8 years) ingested a placebo drink for 4 months. During the ingestion period, SPG, pulse wave velocity (PWV), and serum biochemical parameters were measured, and acceleration plethysmograms (APG) were taken. The reactive hyperemia ratio (RHR) in the test drink group began to increase after ingestion for 1 month and was significantly higher than that in the placebo group after ingestion for 3 months and 4 months. In addition, after ingestion for 4 months, the test drink group showed a significant decrease in the plasma total homocysteine level compared with the pre-ingestion level. However, there were no significant differences in PWV or APG between the test drink group and the placebo drink group. The improvement in RHR after ingestion of a drink containing GCE suggested an improvement in vasoreactivity by this component.

Don't want to be a know-it-all, but VitaGlo is cheaper, with free shipping >$50. https://www.vitaglo.com/3082.html

But if you bought 12 bottles, LuckyVitamin would be cheaper per bottle. https://www.luckyvitamin.com/733739030825.html

Well, I stand corrected. I've long known that you are a much better shopper than me.

That's a clever tehcnology to get all those Glyconutrients in one product.

Only unfortunate things I can see with that.

1. People with things like Lactose intolerance, Glucose intolerance etc etc, couldn't probably use it.

2. If the capsules are Gelatine based, people with an IBD, probably couldn't take them, but at least there is a powdered form.

I've never been too impressed with Pill based supplements, from a personal viewpoint. You seem to be also paying for a substance, (the Gelatine coating), that has Gluten in it, and aside from the minor benefits if any of Gelatine, Freeform products offer you probably more beneficial powdered ingredient for your money, and would in theory be a smarter choice, in my mind at least.

If the pills don't have a Gelatine coating, that would probably be at least better, for some potential users anyway, but I would summise Freeform would still potentially give you a better price per gram, but I couldn't be 100% certain on that.

Interesting all the same.

Can't believe it's got Fucose in it as well. Until now I thought the only source of that was a Black Seaweed.

I just ordered the gluconutrients from the on line store vitaglo in the powder form that Iggy recommended. Will let you know how it goes. I am working on moving into total supplements coming from direct food sources. So far this includes, a greens product, cinnamon, tumeric, my own pickled garlic, fish oils, and brewers yeast, whey. I am still a little stumped on getting certain B vitamins. I need a lot of B6 and folic acid, even with my heavy veggie diet I produce too much homocystiene and I just don't know what to do except to pop a fractionated vitamin. How much brewers yeast to you have to take a day? I can only tolerate so much of that stuff. Any ideas?

Well as you're on a Veggie diet, obviously something like Beef is out of the question, but B Enriched Whole-grain Cereal might be away.

Some Whole-grain cereals are good for things like Vit B's, Iron and Zinc, as they're fortified, and possibly some other Micronutrients, so being on a veggie diet you might find if you don't have anything like that currently, you should be good for some more B, if you choose the right type.

The only thing to worry about then is something like a high Glycemic Load off the Carbs, as most Cereals are around 60+ GI, but with a bit of Milk which is only about 25-35 GI approx, you would have a lower combined GI, and possibly cut your GL as well, and having low bloodsugar first thing, means any potential GL, (in relation to total combined dairy and grain Carbs), wouldn't have quite the same effect starting from a lower point.

Or if you're not into Dairy, Oatmeal might be fortified, or possibly rolled Oats, I can't say for certain on that, but then you can just add Water instead.

Actually, I do eat meat everyday, chicken, fish or red meat, but not much red meat. but by any meat eaters standards I am a heavy veggie eater. I will eat salad for breakfast!

I stay away from a lot of grains as those tend to put weight on. I eat brown rice a couple times a week, quiona, (sp?) amaranth, and white or red beans a couple times a week.

Default About your Glyconutrients

After reading these posts I would like to know two things:

How do these glyconutrients compare to Mannatech's high quality glyonutrients?

Is having all 8 sugars in a glyconutrient formulation not an infringement of Mannatech's patent?

I have personally ysed glyconutrients myself and I have also recommended them to my patients as well. I have only ever used Mannatech Glyconutrient products. So I am curious about yours and how they compare.

Yours? None of these are ours. People don't sell stuff here. We just discuss.

Trying to put quality with price, especially in today's economy is difficult; so, any recommendation? Also, must be "over the counter" for some of us lay people.

Fungi seem to enjoy sugars. I wonder how they react with glyconutrients.
