Our one-of-a-kind Ambrotose<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0contains Manapol<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>, a key ingredient that helps differentiate it from the competition. For clarity, we will focus specifically on aloe to provide a straightforward comparison. To support the field, we\u2019ve outlined three simple, side-by-side comparisons that clearly show why Manapol<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0powder stands apart from other aloe ingredients. While the science behind these differences can feel complex, the overview below offers a clear, easy-to-understand visual explanation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a01. High Percentage of Total Polysaccharides<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Polysaccharides are the active components of Aloe vera and are attributable to the many health benefits associated with the gel of the aloe leaves.* Manapol powder contains a much higher percentage of total polysaccharides as compared to a leading competitor.<\/p>\n<table width=\"100%\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Aloe Source<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>% Polysaccharides<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Manapol<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0(Costa Rica)<\/td>\n<td>67%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Competitor Aloe<\/td>\n<td>32.9%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong>2.\u00a0 Size and Diversity of Size Matters (Molecular Weight)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Manapol powder exhibits a far greater variation in aloe polysaccharide size as compared to the leading competitor. \u00a0Mannatech\u2019s Manapol powder contains a significant proportion of Acemannan, high-molecular-weight polysaccharides (1\u20132 million Daltons: \u226543%), while the competitor\u2019s aloe product contains less than 1% in this range. These larger polysaccharides in Manapol powder are more likely to reach the lower digestive tract, supporting beneficial microbial activity glycasolation in the gut.*<\/p>\n<p>Manapol powder is a highly effective broad spectrum aloe containing a blend of large, medium, and low molecular weight aloe polysaccharides.* \u00a0The majority of those polysaccharides (43%) meets the official definition of Acemannan.<\/p>\n<table width=\"100%\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Polysaccharide Size<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>% of Total<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Very Large (Acemannan)<\/td>\n<td>43%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Medium<\/td>\n<td>35%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Small<\/td>\n<td>22%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Conversely, the leading competitor\u2019s aloe is a narrow spectrum aloe powder containing primarily low molecular weight polysaccharides.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Competitor Aloe Distribution:<\/strong><\/p>\n<table width=\"100%\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Polysaccharide Size<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>% of Total<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Very Large (Acemannan)<\/td>\n<td>Less than 1%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Medium<\/td>\n<td>12.2%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Very Small<\/td>\n<td>85.8%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong>3. Sugar Profile Comparison<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Manapol powder features a broader array of unique sugars, including mannose (64.7%), galactose (4.9%), arabinose (1.6%), rhamnose (1.7%), fucose (1.1%), xylose (3.9%), glucuronic acid (1.2%), and notably, galacturonic acid (13.8%), which indicates the presence of aloe pectin. Aloe pectin acts as a dietary fiber that supports digestive and gut health, supports the immune system, and contributes to overall wellness.*<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, the leading competitor\u2019s aloe product is dominated by glucose (43.2%) and lacks 6 of the unique sugars found in Manapol powder. Conversely, Manapol powder contains only 7.1% glucose, aligning with dietary recommendations to avoid unnecessary glucose supplementation.<\/p>\n<p>This shows what the polysaccharides are actually made of.<\/p>\n<table width=\"100%\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Sugar Type<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Manapol<\/strong><strong><sup>\u00ae<\/sup><\/strong><strong>\u00a0Powder<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Competitor Aloe<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Mannose (key aloe sugar)<\/td>\n<td>64.7%<\/td>\n<td>53.8%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Glucose (simple sugar)<\/td>\n<td>7.1%<\/td>\n<td>43.2%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Galactose (milk sugar)<\/td>\n<td>3.1%<\/td>\n<td>4.9%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Other Aloe Sugar<\/td>\n<td>6 are detected<\/td>\n<td>Not detected<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong>Simple Takeaway<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Manapol delivers larger, more effective polysaccharides.*<\/li>\n<li>Manapol contains a large amount (43%) of the polysaccharides that meet the official definition of Acemannan.<\/li>\n<li>Competitor aloe is mostly small polysaccharides, less mannose, and six times as much glucose as Manapol.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is why Manapol<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0continues to be the gold standard aloe ingredient.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently, we\u2019ve received questions about how Manapol\u00ae\u00a0and Ambrotose\u00ae\u00a0compare to other products on the market.
