Mannatech's patent-pending glyconutrient complex, Ambrotose is
perhaps the greatest wellness discovery in the last 50 years.
The Mannatech web site has a wealth of information at your command.

- Go to http://www.mannapages.com/MannaTrip
- Select your country
- Select Products/Shop
- Select Wellness/Optimal Health
- Select Ambrotose Complex

Now you'll get a great explanation of our flagship product & learn
more about why it is changing the lives of so many people. From the
menu across the top of the page, you can also read "What Do I Take
For...," which includes some guidelines written by our Scientific
Team. (Although there's ordering information on the Product page,
you'd want to go to the Members section of the web site to get the
wholesale price.)

For your convenience, Ambrotose comes in several formats: capsules
with lecithin, capsules without lecithin (for those allergic to soy),
& two sizes of bulk powder.

The advantage of the capsules is convenience. The advantage of the
bulk powder is cost savings.

Read on if you'd like to know more about the story of Ambrotose:

The story of Ambrotose begins with Aloe Vera. In the 1980's, Dr. Bill
McAnalley, a research pharmacologist, was determined to identify the
active component in Aloe Vera. After many years he discovered the
functional component in Aloe Vera that is responsible for its health-
promoting properties. To his surprise, the active ingredient was a
carbohydrate with many mannose sugar molecules linked together.

He found that Aloe products are not effective unless the active
carbohydrate molecule has been stabilized, & he developed a special,
patented process to maintain that effectiveness. Today the
pharmaceutical and dietary supplement versions of this standardized
Aloe substance are protected by over 100 patents in numerous
countries. The dietary supplement form was named Manapol.

Positive Feedback - The positive feedback from the extensive use of
Manapol overwhelmingly demonstrated that it supports the immune
system. However, it was also clear that many of the results were not
limited to immune support. For instance, there were numerous reports
of improved cognitive (mental) function. This puzzled Dr. McAnalley.

The Carbohydrate Connection - By now, Dr. McAnalley was one of the
most knowledgeable scientists in the world in the mysterious, little-
known field of carbohydrate research. Further study led him to take a
closer look at the carbohydrate connection.

The journal, Biotechnology (February, 1990), stated that almost
without exception, whenever two or more living cells interact in a
specific way, cell surface carbohydrates will be involved. These cell
surface codes tell every other cell who they are, what they do, &
whether or not they are healthy. The alphabet for that communication
is made up of carbohydrates, or simple sugars (NOT table sugar!).
This code system is so basic to human life that it is the means by
which a sperm recognizes an egg for the purpose of fertilization.

The 1996 edition of Harper's Biochemistry (chapter on Glycoproteins
by Dr. Robert K. Murray) identifies eight essential carbohydrates
necessary for the creation of cellular words. When Dr. McAnalley saw
that mannose, the carbohydrate in Manapol, was listed as one of those
eight essential carbohydrates, it all started to make sense.

This could also explain the positive results that were not directly
linked to immune function. He realized that the proper cellular
words (glycoproteins) were essential for the effective manifestation
of the genetic code - the body's blueprint - & that proper cell-to-
cell communication could have a crucial role in every aspect of the
maintenance of optimal health.

Since only two of the eight carbohydrates identified in Harper's
Biochemistry are found in adequate quantities in our modern diets,
Dr. McAnalley decided to find good plant sources of all essential
carbohydrates associated with cell-to-cell communication (including
Manapol) & combine them in a dietary supplement.

These nutrients are called Glyconutritionals. Dr. McAnalley called
his new product "Ambrotose" because the Greek word, ambrosia,
means "nectar of the immortals." He added the "e" at the end of the
word because in chemistry, a substance that is a sugar ends in "ose."
The discovery linking this biochemical knowledge to the field of
nutritional science made it possible to apply for international
patents for his new complex.

In his early days of discovering the effectiveness of carbohydrates
in immune support, other scientists laughed at him -- to think that
carbohydrates played such an important role was ludicrous!

Now, the importance of carbohydrates is well established, & research
in the field of Glycobiology is accelerating.

In 1997 Science & Medicine reported that five of the eight
carbohydrates considered essential for cell-to-cell communication
have been found in human breast milk.

In 1998 a respected scientific journal, Acta Anatomica, published a
special edition on Glycosciences. Text & tables of contents available
online:

Also take a look at the outstanding web site,
www.GlycoInformation.com

The cover of the March 23, 2001 issue of Science Magazine shows a
picture of carbohydrates on the surface of a cell, & contains a
section of articles on Carbohydrates & Glycobiology,
including "Saving Lives with Sugar." On page 2352,
Fig. 1 displays the structures & names of eight sugars -- the same
ones that are already available in Ambrotose! (You can order this
issue - Vol. 291, No. 5512 by calling 800-731-4939.)

The cover of the July issue of Scientific American also featured a
number of amazing article on this same topic, Glycobiology.

MIT's Technology Review magazine (Feb. 2003) had as it's cover
Article: The Ten Technologies that WILL change the World.

One of those ten technologies is Glycomics, which is the impact of
the research & glyco (sugar) based products on our economy &
lifestyle.

There's no telling where this story will end, but the most exciting
part of the story is the impact that Ambrotose is having on the
health of so many people. If you went to the Mannatech web site &
listened to the testimonials in the Theater section, you know what we
mean.
