(Zinc With Vitamin C) a popular supplement sold in Health Food Stores all over USA.  This is NOT a quality product and here’s why: The vitamins C is from 2 different synthetic Sources (as ascorbic acid, sodium ascorbate) it is 1000 mg of Vitamin C yet only 20mg (of the 1000) is from a natural source (Acerola Berry). Zinc is from 2 different sources of ground up rocks (zinc gluconate & zinc citrate).  It’s not real food folks it’s dirt. Next we have OTHER INGREDIENTS: listed, 3 different types of sugars all bad (Fructose, Sorbitol, Glucose) then Stearic Acid, finally we have a natural sugar (honey). Silica, Cellulose, Magnesium Stearate, Lemon Flavor (not real lemon) & Citric Acid. People are buying this for themselves and their children thinking they’re getting something real good, what a disappointment.  The last line is what they do not have in the product (NO yeast, wheat, soy, gluten, milk, salt, sugar, starch, preservatives or artificial color) that’s good but the major reason people are buying this product is for Vitamin C and Zinc, and it is synthetic and ground up rocks.  You can get the same and probably even a cheaper product in any drugstore.

Check your label and supplements.

Mannatech has developed a whole new, industry-shaking, nutrient-delivery method called “Real Food Technology” that makes it possible for them to jam-pack each delicious PhytoBurst chew with more nutrients than has ever been possible in history up to now. This new technology in the PhytoBursts makes the nutrients about 98% available to get transported directly into your starving cells. This absorption and utilization rate is astounding.

Many supplements on the market are worthless synthetics or packed with fillers, are not absorbed very well and they have little or no effect on your health. PhytoBursts are HIGHLY bioavailable, which means they have the “secret password” to move almost instantly into your trillions of cells. They FEED your cells and help them function better…but, most importantly you will FEEL better than you can imagine after adding these to your current nutritional routine.

Many people report FEELING a real difference right away! We have early reports of increased energy, sense of calmness, less cravings and decreased hunger, better sleep, increased hair growth and much more.

Now you can snack on a treat your body will LOVE, that tastes as amazingly good as candy, but with none of the guilt!

 

  • Kids love them and big “kids” like us can’t stop eating them.
  • Keep them at your desk or computer for a mid-afternoon “pick-me-up” or to curb those late night cravings.
  • Put them in your car for those tired moments when you want to pull into that drive through instead of going home and cooking…
  • Keep some in your purse or briefcase to stay nourished between meals.
  • Throw some in your gym bag for an energy boost before your workout

Hop on over to our PhytoBurst Zone, check out the video and discover the inside story. You will see how they blow the “so-called” competition (the “super juices”) off the planet.

Why Do Some Say Dietary Supplements are Dangers?

Dietary Supplements Getting Bad Press? One More Reason to Switch to Real!

Mannatech Research and Development Team

Recently, the media has pounced on a couple of published studies, which reported that dietary supplements can be bad for you. One study found that intake of vitamin E increased the risk of prostate cancer (1); another reported that post menopausal women who took certain vitamins and minerals had an increased risk of dying (2). It’s not surprising that many consumers have responded by tossing out their supplements. You may be feeling more wary about your supplement intake as well.

It’s unfortunate that previous studies, which showed supplements either had positive effects or had no negative effects, have been largely ignored by the press. Nonetheless, to make good decisions, it’s important to explore the details of the supplement studies in question. When we did just that, we found that the men in the prostate cancer study were taking a very high dose of synthetic vitamin E. Complete product and dosage information was not provided in the study of post-menopausal women, but doses of the most dangerous supplement, iron, were also very high—suggesting that these women were being treated for a health condition. It can thus be argued that the take-home message from these negative studies is something many of us already knew: high doses of supplements, particularly synthetic supplements, can be harmful.

Given the well-established fact that most people consume a nutrient-poor diet, it also seems unwise, based on a couple of negative studies, to “throw out the baby with the bath water.” In fact, highly regarded nutrition experts continue to endorse the judicious use of high-quality dietary supplements. (I also agree). Mannatech agrees, and has long been devoted to developing dietary supplements based on Real Food Technology® solutions.

Cases in point: Mannatech’s PhytoMatrix® caplets and Ambrotose AO® capsules are both NSF-certifiedKosher-certified, gluten free and suitable for vegetarians. The PhytoMatrix product, which provides sensible amounts of vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients, is the best vitamin/mineral supplement available today. Ambrotose AO is a clinically effective product containing a blend of food-based antioxidant nutrients in sensible quantities (unlike most antioxidant supplements, which pack in high-dose synthetic ingredients and have demonstrated no clinical benefits) (3).

To foster more informed nutrition and health choices, Mannatech and Texas Woman’s University have developed a unique online university-level course, which includes instruction on comprehensive nutrition, integrative health and dietary supplementation. The course, which will be available in early 2012, is unique in that it provides guidance for effectively coaching those interested in pursuing healthy behavioral changes.
