The biggest impact of glycomics research may be in helping us to understand how to be and stay healthy, how to measure health, and how to optimally support the body at the cellular level.
The future of glyconutritionals is very promising indeed. The wellness industry has been forecast by noted economist and futurist Paul Zane Pilzer to reach $1 trillion by the end of this first decade of the 21st century. Mannatech will continue to lead the industry, developing and bringing better health solutions to people around the world.
Can Glycomics Change the World?
Glycomics Highlighted in MIT Publication
The prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) describes the burgeoning science of glycomics research on sugars and their impact on human health as “one of the ten technologies that will change the world.” While mainstream scientists have recognised and are investigating the potential of synthetic glyco-drugs, their efforts may require years to produce results. But the increased interest in the role of sugars in human health can expand the market for glyconutritional supplements today!
In the February 2003 edition of Technology Review, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology profiled the science of glycomics as a new technology that “…could have an impact on health problems ranging from rheumatoid arthritis to the spread of cancer cells.” Glycomics is the study of sugars and includes glycobiology—the study of the effects of sugars on living organisms.
