Visit My PhytoBurst Zone

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.

When you get to that page, you can order a bag or two of PhytoBursts and experience the difference in how YOU feel! Make sure you select to get them at the lowest wholesale price available!

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.

Colored gummy vitamins Not for Children

(NaturalNews) -http://bit.ly/vwU6BC Those brightly colored gummy or chewable vitamins you give your children in hopes of providing them with more nutrients may actually harm their health. The sweetening ingredients added to make vitamins more attractive to children also put them at risk for obesity, diabetes, asthma, diarrhea and other ailments. Take a look at what our label research turned up about these products.

Disney Princess

According to the label, Disney Princess Gummies contain: corn syrup, sugar, grape juice concentrate, gelatin, modified corn starch, citric acid, lactic acid, purple berry color concentrate, (maqui berry juice concentrate, sugar), maltodextrin, fractionated coconut oil, beeswax, dicalcium phosphate, natural flavors, black carrot juice color oncentrate, silica, annatto color, mannitol. Disney does not manufacture these vitamins but licenses its logo to NBTY, Inc. and two of its subsidiaries, NatureSmart LLC and Rexall Sundown, Inc. In 2010, these companies agreed to pay just over $2 million to the Federal Trade Commission for using false claims that their vitamins promoted healthy brain and eye development in children.

Flintstones

Flintstones Complete Gummies are comprised of “glucose syrup, sucrose, gelatin, water, choline bitartrate; less than 2% of: artificial flavors, ascorbic acid, bees wax, carnauba wax, citric acid, d-biotin, d-calcium pantothenate, fd&c blue #1, fd&c red #40, fd&c yellow #6, folic acid, potassium iodide, pyridoxine hydrochloride, vegetable oil (coconut or palm), vitamin A acetate, vitamin B12, vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), vitamin E acetate, zinc sulfate.”

Gummi King

Gummi King Sugar Free Multivitamins contain: maltitol syrup, maltitol, water, pectin, fumaric acid, citric acid, natural flavors, colors added (black carrot juice concentrate, turmeric), fiber.” Gummi King is a vegan line, and their website prominently displays the approval of PETA.

Centrum

The Centrum line of vitamins is owned by the pharmaceutical giant Pfizer. Centrum produces a wide spectrum of vitamin products for different age groups, including a kids chewable vitamin. Centrum Kids Complete Multivitamins ingredients are “sucrose, dibasic calcium phosphate, microcrystalline cellulose, mannitol (wheat), calcium carbonate, magnesium oxide, ascorbic acid (vit. C), stearic acid (soybean), pregelatinized corn starch, mono- and di-glycerides.” The label also notes that the product contains less than 2% of the following: acacia, aspartame, beta-carotene, bht, biotin, calcium pantothenate, carbonyl iron, carrageenan, cholecalciferol (vitamin D3), chromic chloride, citric acid, corn starch, cupric oxide, cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12), dextrose, dl-alpha tocopheryl acetate (vitamin E), dried corn syrup, fd&c blue no. 2 aluminum lake, fd&c red no. 40 aluminum lake, fd&c yellow no. 6 aluminum lake, folic acid, gelatin, guar gum, hypromellose, lactose (milk), magnesium borate, magnesium stearate, malic acid, maltodextrin, manganese sulfate, medium chain triglycerides, modified corn starch, natural and artificial flavors, niacinamide, phytonadione (vit. k), potassium iodide, propylene glycol alginate, pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6), riboflavin (vitamin B2), silicon dioxide, sodium ascorbate, sodium benzoate, sodium citrate, sodium molybdate, sorbic acid, thiamine mononitrate (vitamin B1), tocopherols, tribasic calcium phosphate, vanillin, vitamin a acetate, zinc oxide.

Harmful Ingredients

High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) has been linked to a range of health conditions such as tooth decay, liver damage, obesity, diabetes and ADHD.  Additionally, the manufacturing process which transforms corn first into corn starch and then into HFCS involves the use of toxic chemicals. One of those, glutaraldehyde, is an embalming fluid which can induce headaches, dizziness, burning eyes, and asthma. Mercury is also used in the HFCS production process. In a 2009 study, between half and one third of all products containing HCFS were found to have mercury contamination. From: (http://www.naturalnews.com/032948_h…).

Unfortunately, maltitol, one of the substitutes some companies use for HCFC, carries its own health issues. Products containing maltitol technically qualify as “sugar-free.” Maltitol is a sugar alcohol, meaning its chemical structure resembles both sugar and alcohol. Unlike sugar, sugar alcohols are not fully absorbed in the bloodstream so they have less impact on blood sugar. Sugar alcohols cannot cause inebriation but they can ferment in the intestinal tract, causing gas, bloating or diarrhea.

Is Mannatech a scam or legit?

I just watched a video by Dr. John Rollins who used to work at the U.S. patent office in Washington, DC.  Here is a link if you would like to watch it http://library.mannatech.com/1252 .  The videos only a few minutes long and yet he gives many facts about the validity of the products that Mannatech sells through distributors.  Mannatech as a patent on natural vitamins and plant based minerals in there Multiple vitamin and mineral supplement.  It’s far from being a spam even in their website healthyscience it has many references to publications that it mentioned the research that they’ve done and are continuing to do. Let me know what you like best about the John Rollins video on the subject of is Mannatech a scam?

With all the publicity around how vitamins are harmful it’s very in interesting that none of the news media has picked up on the fact that there’s a difference between natural and synthetic vitamins.  When the Archives of Internal Medicine released a study claiming that vitamin use might lead to an earlier death. This set off a major media feeding frenzy, wave after wave of scary stories. Fox’s headline was typical: “Are Your Supplements Killing You?” That’s where the true scam is.  People publishing studies and never giving the type of vitamins that were used, how many and how long. http://library.mannatech.com/1252
