Most Promising Antioxidant to Date!

Independent Human Study Shows Mannatech's Ambrotose AO® Product to be Beneficial Antioxidant Supplement.  Mannatech announced the results of an independent human clinical study that demonstrated intake of its proprietary Ambrotose AO® capsules raised antioxidant protection in serum oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) in healthy adults, further validating a previous human study.

The effect on serum ORAC, a method of measuring antioxidant capacities, was very similar between the two studies. The 2010 five-week study by Dr. Stephen P. Myers of 21 healthy adults by physicians and scientists from Australia and New Zealand showed that four capsules per day of Ambrotose AO dietary supplement was safe and raised ORAC by 36.6 percent.

The 2003 pilot study of 12 healthy adults by Dr. Stephen Boyd, Mannatech's Senior Director, Medical Affairs, Mannatech scientists and an independent statistician showed that two capsules per day of Ambrotose AO capsules increased ORAC by 37.4 percent.

"We are proud to have two human clinical studies that consistently show our Ambrotose AO product improves antioxidant status of human blood. These results demonstrate antioxidants in Ambrotose AO capsules provide the best antioxidant protection available today," said Mannatech's Co-CEO and Chief Science Officer Robert A. Sinnott, MNS, Ph.D. "Antioxidants help reduce the amount of free radicals and oxidative stress that can damage or even kill cells. In addition to providing antioxidant support, many of the nutrients in Ambrotose AO capsules have been shown to promote a healthy immune system." Mannatech's Ambrotose AO capsules appear to be the most promising antioxidant supplement investigated to date.

Ambrotose AO capsules increased human serum ORAC levels more than a number of well-known antioxidant foods and other commercial products: in food studies, increases in serum ORAC have been documented following ingestion of strawberries (14.4 percent increase) or spinach (28.5 percent increase), buckwheat honey (7 percent increase) or Concord grape juice (8 percent increase). In a placebo-controlled trial of healthy adults, a single 100g dose of wild blueberry powder significantly increased serum ORAC by up to 16 percent and a single 1.25g dose of vitamin C raised serum ORAC by 23 percent. 

Additional studies of supplements designed to exert antioxidant benefits showed no effect on serum ORAC: a fruit-based antioxidant drink (MonaVie Active®). Professor Stephen Myers, Ph.D., BMed, ND is Director of the Australian Centre for Complementary Medicine Education and Research (ACCMER), a unique joint venture of the University of Queensland and Southern Cross University (SCU) and the NatMed-Research Unit, Research Cluster for Health and Wellbeing (NRURCHW), SCU, Lismore, AU. The study's findings were published in the peer reviewed BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine.

Every year millions of children die of malnutrition, making it the leading cause of death of children. International food aid relies heavily on fortified blended foods to fight the problem of malnutrition. Unfortunately, these enriched flour based cereals are limited to provide all the nutrients children require. As a result the foods do not meet the minimum requirements set by the World Health Organization for young children.
