- Back pain affects over 90 percent of Americans at some point in their lives. Over 50 percent of back pain sufferers will have recurring episodes. Acute back pain occurs for less 30 days, while chronic back pain persists for longer than 30 days. Many believe that back pain is an ailment. Actually, back pain is a symptom that can be the result of numerous different maladies ranging from muscle strain and fatigue to kidney infections and nerve root irritation.
- Mannatech products, like its flagship nutraceutical Ambrotose, are based on the healing properties of the aloe vera plant. Aloe pulp and juice are rich in glyconutrients--the eight essential sugars the body naturally gets from vegetables and other plant matter in our diet. Unfortunately, our modern diet doesn't provide us with sufficient glyconutrients. Consequently, we are more susceptible to ailments, inflammation, and infection. Mannatech products provide additional glyconutrients to help prevent these conditions.
- Mannatech may address certain types of back pain depending upon its root cause. An increase in glyconutrients may help. However, knowing the adequate amount for your body chemistry and particular ailment can be an effort in trial and error. In addition, Mannatech products are not solely glyconutrients--they contain a variety of additional supplements that may not affect the cause of your back pain at all. Because the supplement is not exclusively glycols, it is likely that to achieve the desired effect, large regular dosages of Mannatech products will be needed. Unfortunately, these products may not be inexpensive.
- It may be possible to obtain the necessary glyconutrients from fresh, naturally grown vegetables. Higher concentrations of glyconutrients can be found in unprocessed, leafy, green vegetables like cabbage and spinach. Changing your diet can often have positive effects on your general health condition. But equally important is where the food may be found and whether it is processed and forced to ripen like much of our industrial produce is today.
- There have been a number of scandals involving Mannatech, their sales methods and products. As a multilevel marketer, Mannatech representatives have often made unsubstantiated claims and used high-pressure sales tactics when dealing with consumers searching for a remedy to various conditions. Mannatech has also been the subject of several legal actions regarding product misrepresentation. It is always prudent to investigate any health supplement product and manufacturer to discern if using it will provide the desired benefit or if suitable substitutes exist.
