Ambrotose by Mannatech

Hi all,

On Friday, I received a bottle of "Ambrotose", manufactured
by Mannatech. This supplement is supposed to contain all 8
essential sugars. Healthy people can create all 8 sugars
from an intake of just glucose. However, unhealthy people
usually have missing enzymes which prevent the conversion,
so they have to either get the remaining sugars from the
few foods which contain them, or be ill. Noting that the
foods listed (kelp, echinacea, oatmeal) have had a
significant positive effect on my health in the past
few years, I decided to try it.

Interestingly, this supplement has had more of an effect
on my EMF tolerance than any other supplement I've ever
tried. Well, at least so far. Time will tell what
happens next week, next month, etc. Basically, I've
had to cut way back on my EMF protection devices,
because I get the telltale symptoms of overdoing it.
So I've been now going out with no devices, and
only use the small Springlife Polarizers pendants
while using the computer. I'm still figuring out
what works, but that's the point -- this supplement
changes everything. And this is just with
the recommended dosage of 2 capsules per day.

So stay tuned...

Also, I discontinued use of the Vein Lite, because that
seemed like I was really overdoing it by combining them,
and I don't think the Vein Lite was helping my ES symptoms.

Here is a link to the place that I purchased my bottle
from (although it's available from lots of places, including
eBay):

And here is a web page describing it, written by the husband
of the woman who first told me about this supplement back
in July (and I didn't get around to investigating it until
just a week ago):

I paid about US$40 for a bottle of 60 capsules -- a 30-day
supply. I haven't looked into the alternatives, but it
would seem that one can simply add the relevant foods
to their diets, although some of the foods may be a
bit obscure. Here is a website which has a recipe
to make your own glyconutrient powder:

However, it appears that Ambrotose is the standard
with which everything else is measured, so I
thought I'd start with that first. Most of the testimonials
I've read said that their problems were resolved in 2
to 4 weeks with Ambrotose, so I'm only on day 4.

Hi all,

Okay, I've now taken the Ambrotose for a few more days.

This actually is NOT going to work for EMF protection
because of tolerance problems. That is, although I
could handle taking 2 capsules a day on the first
day, as time went on I could only handle taking
less and less. In fact, I've now broken open a
capsule and taking fractional amounts of a capsule
each day. Yesterday, I mixed some with a glass of
water and drank only part of the glass, and probably
only took the equivalent of 1/20th of a capsule,
and STILL had tolerance problems!

However, when speaking of tolerance problems, I've
found in the past that there seem to be two different
categories with me. With one category, my
primary reaction is hyperactivity, chest pains and
agitation (from Modifilan, Chia Seeds, and the Personal
Rejuvenizer Pendant), and these products
tend to test poorly with EAV testing and are
discontinued almost immediately.

With the second category, my primary reaction
is dehydration (Cellfood, Aloe Vera juice).
Generally, these products test well when I take
them in for EAV testing, but I have to take
them in very small amounts initially, and then
I eventually ramp up to the recommended dosage.

So far, the Ambrotose seems to be in the second
category. I get dehydrated skin and mouth,
plus a metallic taste in my mouth, plus increased e
nergy bordering on hyperactivity. So I will experiment
further with tiny amounts and see if this is
tolerable in the long run.

Hi Marc and Everyone,

How did Ambrotose work out, Marc? I am interested in glyconutrients
like Ambrotose and want to know what experiences people have. The
main ingredient is from the larch tree, arabinogalactan. Aloe is
also in there, and i ordered fresh, raw aloe leaf from
www.sunfood.com. I am also considering making my own according to
the formula by Dr. David Bird, which may be just an imitation of
Ambrotose with the ingredients bought separately for lower cost.

That message that you are quoting must be several years old,
as I haven't used Ambrotose in a LONG time!

Basically, I only used that for a short period of time,
found it intolerable, and moved on.

But I have found things that work well for immune support.
Echinacea from Medi-Herb is one that comes to mind.
