What was on the fringe in 1996 is now mainstream in 2014. Glyconutrients and glycoscience are synonymous with the foundation of Mannatech. Mannatech, through the breakthrough discovery of a mannose based polysaccharide in aloe vera gel by Dr. Bill McAnnalley, developed the worlds first glyconutrient dietary supplement in 1996 with the launch of Ambrotose Complex. However, back in the 90's there was much skepticism about glyconutrients. Mannatech was subject to a firestorm of press that basically attempted to debunk the discovery. But Mannatech persevered and has continued to lead the way as a pioneer in glyconutritional technology.
Ambrotose Complex by Mannatech is our flagship product, and each one of our products contains varying levels of Ambrotose in them. So what's in this revolutionary product? The Advanced Ambrotose product contains Undaria pinnatifida, a brown seaweed harvested from the clear waters off the coasts of Tasmania and the Patagonian region that helps it deliver a better balance of saccharides at a better value per serving that is exclusive to Mannatech. A proprietary extraction method provides Manapol with a high concentration of polysaccharides rich in the monosaccharide, mannose, which is an important glyconutrient believed to be responsible for the immunologic health benefits associated with aloe vera gel. By adding Manapol powder, we’ve increased the glyconutrient content making this product more effective. Manapol not only provides a more pure form of aloe vera gel powder that has a higher molecular weight than others, but it is also richer in mannose, a key glyconutrient.
You may be thinking that there sounds like there is an awful lot of science involved in glyconutrients. Is there any supporting data supporting these claims that will assist me when I buy health products? The answer to that question is yes. As a matter of fact the National Academy of Science (NAS) recently published a report titled "Transforming Glycoscience: A Roadmap for the Future". This publication presents a roadmap for transforming glycoscience from a field dominated primarily by specialists, to a more mainstream and integrated discipline. This new focus could lead to a more comprehensive understanding of glycans (sugars), helping to potentially impact key areas in many diverse fields of health. But there is a bigger point at play here. For those not familiar, and as stated on it's official website, the NAS is a private, non-profit society of distinguished scholars engaged in scientific and engineering research, dedicated to the furtherance of science and technology and to their use for the public good. Since founded in 1863, during President Abraham Lincoln's term, the NAS continues to serve as a key advisor to the nation. In fact, in 1958 during the Eisenhower administration the U.S. satellite effort began under the auspices of the NAS. With nearly 200 members having won a Nobel Prize, leaders today continue to turn to the NAS for advice on the scientific and technological issues that frequently affect policy decisions. Most recently, the Institute of Medicine, a part of the NAS, launched a new roundtable to explore factors beyond medical care that influence health.
So here we are over 17 years later with the science that is just now surfacing by noted scientific communities like the National Academy of Sciences (NAS). Mannatech has shown over the years that it continues to be ahead of it's time as glycoscience has historically been a branch of science that has remained on the fringe. However, that appears to be changing with the aforementioned publication.
We've seen many reports and publications over the years in this area, however, this particular publication by the NAS may have the most significant degree of credibility and mainstream exposure that we have yet to see or that we have seen in quite a long time. For those of us familiar with glycans and glycoscience, the publication provides information that is already consistent with what we know and understand. Of new significance is a 5-15 year roadmap of goals, made up of six key areas to advance the field of glycoscience. The fact that the NAS would not only present this particular publication, but that it would do so in the context of a rather aggressive set of goals, lends a large amount of credibility to a key field that we are associated with and interested in.
Mannatech and it's line of 36 products based on glycoscience is only going to continue to grow and the impacts of this science will be significant for those who ditch their synthetics and buy health products that contain nutrition the way their bodies crave it. So it's safe to say, at this point, that the future for all those who have embraced, believed in and championed glycobiology, can be described in one simple, yet very appropriate word....Sweet!
