What role do glyconutrients have in ameliorating MS?
I have been taking glyconutrients (ambrotose et al by Mannatech) for the past few years. I think this has generally helped increase enegy levels until recently - or am I deluding myself?
Hi Prue,
Honestly, i had not heard the term 'glyconutrients' used before, specifically in connection with MS or any other disorder. So, I had to look it up.
First I found several websites that touted its benefits. Then I found websites which discussed the marketing mechanism in play.
I can't speak to the science of it, but here's a report I found on the ABC News website.
