Optimal Health System offers peace of mind, increased vitality
Faced with hundreds of new nutritional supplements that promise to address everything from fading eyesight to creaky joints — not to mention the endless barrage of studies telling consumers what to eat, not to eat, or maybe it’s OK to eat after all — it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and confused.
At Mannatech, the Coppell-based manufacturer of innovative nutritional supplements, company officials say their strategy has always been to provide consumers the most complete standardized and bio-available form of the vital nutrients required by our bodies to achieve and maintain good health. With the development of the Optimal Health System, the choice is easier and more effective than ever, they add.
“Mannatech’s Optimal Health System offers consumers a simple, basic approach to maintaining wellness,” says Linda Lucas Padilla, Mannatech’s vice president of global marketing. “These products work together to nourish, protect, defend and regulate the body’s functions at the cellular level. Healthy cells equal healthy organs, which, in turn, equal a healthy body.”
Greg Ross, an Arlington-based independent Mannatech associate, says, “Dozens of supplements often “dose dump” what are called ‘therapeutic’ levels of single ingredients into the body. This concept treats a nutrient like a drug. But the Optimal Health System is designed to provide the body with what it needs to function normally.”
The cornerstone of the system is Ambrotose, a patented blend of plant-based glyconutrients that are essential to cell-to-cell communication and a properly functioning immune system. Researchers claim that glyconutrients represent a newly discovered category of vital nutrients.
Mannatech also developed a patent-pending blend of antioxidants that, when combined with glyconutrients in Mannatech’s Ambrotose AO, provide approximately three times the antioxidant protection a person can receive by eating up to 12 servings of fruits and vegetables.
Vitamins and minerals make up the third essential component of the Optimal Health System. Mannatech has filed patents on the most efficacious and bio-available combination of these essential plant-based nutrients. New technology allows vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals to be provided in their most natural form, thus avoiding the use of synthetic nutrients still used today by many major brands.
The fourth component is PLUS, an herbal amino acid supplement that supports optimal functioning of the endocrine system — the system of glands that produce hormones for use throughout the body.
Through the Optimal Health System, consumers can take on life’s challenges knowing their bodies are getting what they need, Mannatech
associates say.
“By sticking with the system, people can have more vitality to be able to do more and do it longer,” Mr. Ross says.
Supplements are not designed to replace a healthy lifestyle, Mannatech’s executives, researchers and associates emphasize. But supplements can and do fill in the gaps for the nutrients that are vital but deficient in modern diets.
“People today are aware that they can’t get the complete nutrition they need through the typical American diet,” says Melanie Rummel, a Mannatech associate based in Dallas.
“The Optimal Health System gives the body standard levels of what it needs in the form that is most natural and bioavailable,” Ms. Rummel adds. “The results are self evident. Just ask the more than 1 million Mannatech customers who have enjoyed the benefits of optimal health.”
