Wellcoach,

Look on the M****tech's label, they do not make those sugars. They use FOODS and EXTRACTS containing those sugars. Anybody can combine foods and extracts to have the same result and you don't have to be a scientist. The mix DOES matter, which is why A*******e and A*******e advanced is effective, and I find G*********n even more effective. If a person or a company has done their research properly IT DOES WORK its NOT a mystery. M****tech has to make glyconutrients a mystery to keep their profit margin which was 444 million in 2006 according to Forbes and thats after everyone in the company got their share. FYI A*******e advanced came out 5 months after G*********n. After a series of changes to the Advanced formula(it was not effective at first) it now resembles G*********n. Glycobiotics International has an effective mix and gave M****tech a run for their reputation.
The mix does matter.
