When Mannatech introduced Ambrotose®, it wasn’t just another supplement hitting the shelves—it was a breakthrough discovery that would change the way people think about nutrition and cellular health.

At its core, Ambrotose is about communication—not just in the way it has helped educate the world about the power of glycans, but in the way it helps our body’s cells talk to each other.

The Discovery That Changed Everything

Back in the early 1990s, scientists were making huge strides in understanding how cells function. Researchers were uncovering something fascinating: while most of the focus in nutrition was on vitamins, minerals, and proteins, there was another essential component to human health that had been largely overlooked—glycans.

Glycans are complex sugars that coat the outside of every cell in the human body. These structures act like a cellular language, allowing cells to recognize, communicate, and respond properly to one another. When glycan communication breaks down, so does cellular function, leading to imbalances in immunity, digestion, energy levels, and overall well-being.

Mannatech’s founder, Sam Caster, was introduced to the research on glycans and immediately recognized their potential to change lives. He and a team of researchers began looking for natural sources of glycans to develop a supplement that could help restore cellular communication in a way never done before.

Why Aloe Vera? The Power of Acemannan

One of the richest natural sources of glycans is aloe vera—specifically, a component called acemannan.

Acemannan was shown to support immune function, digestion, and overall cellular health. However, there was a problem: the beneficial components of aloe degrade quickly after harvesting, making it difficult to capture and deliver the full benefits to consumers.

Mannatech’s solution? Patented technology that could preserve and stabilize these essential glycans, ensuring their potency and effectiveness. This led to the creation of Ambrotose Complex, a product that would introduce glyconutrient science to the world.

Bringing Glyconutrition to the Masses

When Ambrotose first hit the market, it wasn’t met with quiet curiosity—it was met with excitement and skepticism. How could a blend of plant-based sugars impact something as fundamental as immune support, brain function, and overall wellness?

But those who tried it felt the difference.

  • People reported better energy, mental clarity, and improved digestion.
  • Others noticed stronger immune function and overall vitality.
  • Scientists and health professionals began taking a closer look at glyconutrient research.

Since then, Ambrotose has been backed by multiple clinical studies showing its ability to support cognitive function, gut health, and immune response. Mannatech holds over 149 patents globally, securing its place as the pioneer of glyconutrient technology.

The Legacy Continues

More than 25 years after its launch, Ambrotose remains Mannatech’s flagship product—not because of marketing hype, but because of the real results people experience.

It’s not just another supplement—it’s the product that put glyconutrition on the map, sparking a scientific movement that continues to shape how we understand cellular health, immunity, and longevity.

And the best part? This is just the beginning.

Mannatech continues to refine and expand its glycan-based innovations, ensuring that people around the world have access to the life-changing power of glyconutrients.
