Mannatech Ambrotose

Ambrotose

Mannatech's patent-pending Glyconutrient complex, Ambrotose, is considered by some to be the greatest wellness discovery in the last 50 years.

The story of Ambrotose begins in the 1980's when Dr. Bill McAnalley, a research pharmacologist, set out to identify the active component in Aloe Vera. After 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, and 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.
