GUANGZHOU, China--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Mannatech^®, a global health and wellness company, provides a powerful nutritional supplement in its Ambrotose powders that offers a perfect solution for older family members who are seeking a way to bolster their healthy immune system.

With increased age, key elements of the immune system can weaken, which can adversely affect a person’s overall health and wellness. Mannatech’s Ambrotose can help support a healthy immune system, helping to keep it strong over time.

Ambrotose powder is made with aloe vera gel extract, which includes Manapol^® powder, a unique Glyconutrient ingredient exclusive to Mannatech. Manapol is extracted from fresh, washed and filtered aloe gel through a proprietary extraction method that yields the highest potency possible.

Mannatech’s Ambrotose powders encourage cellular communication and are shown to support cognitive functions – including memory, focus and attention, as well as supporting the body’s immune and digestive systems to encourage overall health.

A number of Mannatech’s core Ambrotose products are supported by industry-standard clinical studies which includes 17 human clinical trials that have been published, 12 of which were double-blind, placebo-controlled studies — the gold standard for product validation.

“Ambrotose, with Manapol powder derived from aloe vera, is one of the most valuable nutritional supplements available because of its potent ability to support our immune system, which is so critical as we grow older,” said Dr. Steve Nugent, Mannatech’s Senior Global Wellness Director and Chairman of Mannatech’s Global Scientific Advisory Board. “Most people are familiar with the benefits of the aloe vera plant when used on the skin. Its powerful topical benefits have been appreciated for centuries, and we’ve been able to harness key benefits of aloe vera gel for the inside of the body. As we age, the immune system often needs additional support, and Ambrotose with Manapol is uniquely designed to support a healthy immune system and improve our daily wellness.”
