| Molecular
biologists have been using the Matrix Concept
for years, which is used to organize biological knowledge
so that the predictive power of models in different disciplines
can be applied to different and new disciplines.
In
Cell & Molecular biology, a Matrix is defined
as a filamentous structure that is attached to the outer cell
surface and provides anchorage, traction, and positional recognition
to the cell.
In
Histology, a Matrix is defined as a filamentous
structure of glycoproteins and proteoglycans that is attached
to the cell surface and provides cells with anchorage, traction
for movement, and positional recognition.
In
Biology, a Matrix is the material between
animal or plant cells, the material (or tissue) in which more
specialized structures are embedded, and a specific part of
the mitochondrion that is the site of oxidation of organic
molecules. The internal structure of connective tissues is
an extracellular Matrix. Finger nails and toenails grow from
matrices.
In
the human mitochondrion, the Matrix contains soluble enzymes
that catalyze the oxidation of pyruvate and other small organic
molecules. The matrix of the mitochondria also contains the
mitochondria's DNA and ribosomes.
The
word "matrix" stems from the fact that this space
is very viscous, compared to the very aqueous cytoplasm. Mitochondria
maintain a very strictly regulated composition of their Matrix,
assisted by a very impermeable inner mitochondrial membrane.
The
location of the Citric Acid Cycle (Kreb cycle/TCA
cycle) is within the mitochondrial Matrix. In this cycle,
pyruvic acid generated from glycolysis is converted into acetyl
coenzyme A (acetyl CoA) by losing a Carbon Dioxide molecule.
In
Physiology, bone is a form of connective
tissue found in the body and has a storage area, or osteon
region, also called Matrix that allows mineral
salts such as calcium to be stored.
In
the field of Nutritional Genomics, foods,
beverages, nutrients, and proteins can be designed to encode
transporters, receptors, carrier proteins, enzymes, hormones,
and ultimately, to determine the biochemical message
given to the body.
GBG:
SCIENTIFIC CREDIBILITY
In
order to create products that encompass Nutritional Genomics,
researchers and scientists strive to construct a picture of
dietary interactions from the level of body composition and
whole-body physiology, from substrate-flux through metabolic
pathways, to the amount and activity of crucial enzymes, and
gene expression.
Creating
delivery systems for nutrition and Nutraceutical products
requires an in-depth understanding of both Nutritional
Genomics and human biochemistry.
As
a corporation, GBG is dedicated to scientific credibility
in an industry that is well known for lack of research and
clinical quantification.
GBG’s
format for obtaining scientific
credibility include the following steps: |
| • |
GBG has taken a firm stance on obtaining Government
Certification Marks backed by Clinical Trials, including
spending the time and funds required to obtain said
Certifications. |
| • |
GBG
has designated a large amount of funds for Human In
Vivo Clinical Trials on their products and to bring
State-of-the-Art formulas and breakthrough research
to the market. |
| • |
GBG’s
research and formulations focus on the creation of Low
Glycemic delivery and transport systems that are specific
to each GBG product. |
| • |
GBG’s
Proprietary Delivery Systems provide a specific signaling
cell matrix designed to achieve appropriate cellular
goals and provide health benefits. |
PROPRIETARY
MATRIX DELIVERY SYSTEMS
| • |
ENERGY MATRIX™ |
| • |
PROTEIN
MATRIX™ |
In 2009 and 2010, GBG will introduce groundbreaking new products,
each with its own unique MATRIX DELIVERY SYSTEM. GBG will
back the science behind the products with Board Approved
Clinical Trials and Government Certifications.
GBG's
new PROTEIN MATRIX™ and protein research will revolutionize
the entire protein industry, and change the way proteins will
be made in the future.
With
exciting new research, science, and products on the horizon,
GBG is poised to change the science of nutrition and enter
the realm of Future-Science.
