Mucopolysaccharides - Overview

* Overview

Alternative Names

Glycosaminoglycans; GAG
Definition of Mucopolysaccharides:

Mucopolysaccharides are long chains of sugar molecules that are found throughout the body, often in mucus and in fluid around the joints. They are more commonly called glycosaminoglycans.
Information:

When the body cannot break down mucopolysaccharides, a condition called mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) occurs. MPS refers to a group of inherited disorders of metabolism. People with MPS do not have any, or enough, of a substance (enzyme) needed to break down the sugar molecule chains.

Forms of MPS include:

* Hunter syndrome
* Hurler syndrome
* Sanfilippo syndrome
* Scheie syndrome
* Morquio syndrome

The conditions cause mucopolysaccharides to build up in body tissues. This can damage organs, including the heart. Symptoms can range from mild to severe and may include:

* Abnormal facial features
* Bone, cartilage, and connective tissue deformities
* Mental retardation

Aloe vera, which is why I use aloe vera gel as the base for my homemade scalp and growth concoction and add it to my leave-in and deep conditioners.

 

[Chameleonchick]

Ashwaganda has polysaccarides in it

www.wolfrivernaturals.com I ordered it before Thanksgiving. It was shipped to me in like 2 days!

 

[Forever in Bloom]

There are other brands of course I discovered them after I purchased the conditioner from Wolf River Naturals. The following brand is $11.95 for 16 ounces.

I wish I knew who the distributor was because I have seen several brands that have the same list of ingredients, but different prices and different brands.

Aloe Vera kids.....

Aloe Vera kids.....

I need to yank mine out of the fridge. It's hiding behind the half empty jar of mustard and baking soda I didn't know aloe vera had it going on like that.

 

[Lebiya]

wow, gotta try that Aloe vera.

Where can you buy it?

How long does it take for it to go bad? (fungus development)

Aloe vera, which is why I use aloe vera gel as the base for my homemade scalp and growth concoction and add it to my leave-in and deep conditioners.

Yep, yep! The easiest and probably cheapest most concentrated way to get you some muccopolysacchide benefits in your hair!

(Great for internal use, too. But you got to get the kind made for internal use.)

Thanks for these links. That first link says that aloe vera gel is made from aloe vera and extract of Irish Moss. New recipe to try!!!

The second link states that the sulphur from MSM creates Mucopolysaccharides. Raw vegetable juices/fresh juices are brimming with this. Drink your vegetable juice ladies and add a tablespoon of concentrated extract of aloe vera (the kind made for internal use only!)

Thanks for these links. Nice post and good question OP!

Rite aid, cvs, walmart, target and any health food stores...The health food stores are better for the larger food grade bottles.

 

[cecepassion]

My megatek has them.
