Laking essential nutrition leads to some disorders. I've just found out about a supplement of something called glyconutrients that are like the building blocks of cell to cell communication. It occurs to me that if cellular functions can be improved then the health of the entire organisam is improved.

In reply to Essential Nutrition, Ambrotose or raw vegitables, posted by Snakebyte on April 17, 2005, at 15:09:54
I have begun analyzing the merit of products like Ambrotose. I ran across recently an infomercial that promotes a new marine-based product, Sea Vegg. I’ve experienced myself USANA supplements and Barley Green or Barley Life. There are many more including Noni, Mangosteen, etc. And, many more are coming on the scene daily.
So how do you pick what is going to help you? How do you sort out the authentic from the hype? They all say that they will do wonders replete with personal testimonies. What do we do, toss a coin? Should we be taking more than one of these products?
At this point, I have drawn some preliminary conclusions:
1. A lot of these products do have something to offer
2. Certainly, some of the testimonies are biased and placebo effect in nature
3. There may truly be some science or reason supporting these products
4. A lot are being produced and distributed by opportunists with half truths
5. A lot may be look-alike products of far inferior quality and value
6. Some piggyback on a good idea drawing people with extra ingredients
7. Many have only a narrow focus and are not complete in themselves
8. Some may be fairly complete in themselves but missing something vital
9. Some rely on the premise that science trumps natural
10. Some may be haphazardly thrown together to the point of bearing unwholesome components
I see Noni, Mangosteen, and the barley grass extraction products fitting category #8 (only seaweeds have fucoidan), Sea Vegg filling the bill for categories #5 and #4, USANA fitting into category #9 and Ambrotose into categories #7 and #9. The problem with us trying to decide what to get is our getting reeled in with a narrow focus. With Ambrotose, we are taught this and that about how important the miracle sugars are. Well, I am sure that Ambrotose fills the bill in categories #1 and #3. But, one must not forget that this hot item is not all the body needs. Also, one needs to be aware that the body produces these miracle sugars on its own when in a healthy state.
The product warranting solid consideration should have the following characteristics:
1. Something, of course, to offer
2. Strong science and research supporting it
3. Top quality and quality controls
4. Complete in itself as much as possible
5. Responsible and solid business program with laser focus
6. No signs of deception and hype
From my two years of study, I see only one product filling this bill: Original Limu (www.limunight.originallimu.net). Unlike so many other supplements vying for attention by showing up on websites with a multitude of other products promoted, it is advertised all by itself through a company whose only product is Original Limu - that says everything! It is a pure product, uncontaminated or tainted with additional ingredients to try to fool people into selecting an inferior product. These additional ingredients could even act antagonistically with components of Original Limu and more likely with other medications a person might be taking whereas a simple food like Original Limu or let’s say broccoli is very unlikely to be a bad actor with medications as they are simply foods, not herbs or other potent bioactive components.
On the website, www.limunight.originallimu.com, one can verify the quality and quality control practices associated with Original Limu. Original Limu has the science behind it at the National Library of Medicine website, www.pubmed.gov , retrievable by looking up the studies on the key revolutionary and vital component, fucoidan. Unlike Ambrotose, Original Limu doesn’t have one set of nutrients as with just a few sugars that the body can already make for itself.
Original Limu has a whole spectrum of critical components needed for health including all the minerals including trace elements in colloidal form from the pristine pure sea water of the Tongan Islands that nourishes the plant, limu moui, from which Original Limu is derived as a non-chemical proprietary extract formulation requiring over 15 years of development for optimal potency and value. Original Limu has several of Ambrotose’s miracle sugars, glyconutrients, besides the key one, fucoidan, on its own – galactose, mannose, and xylose, but, again, these can be manufactured by the body if the body is healthy as is available through Original Limu more than any other supplement product, in my opinion. Original Limu also has seventeen amino acids including glycoproteins, a wide range of essential and nonessential fatty acids, a broad range of vitamins, a variety of polyphenols as antioxidants, and more. To me, this is a product produced by the Creator and not by puffed-up man except for direction in tapping the nutrients through a carefully designed extraction process.
Confirmation of my choice is becoming more and more obvious with products coming out of the woodwork fitting into preliminary conclusion categories #4, #5, and #6. Sea Vegg is merely a tiny capsule of chopped up dried seaweed from a not particularly pure region of the ocean with claims of fucoidan but unoptimized and miniscule in comparision to Original Limu. There are others that are going to the cupboard trying to add something to attract fucoidan seekers from the one, the only, the original – Original Limu.
I do not mean to knock other products but I hate to see people deceived with hype and trickery and sleight-of-hand distractions and wind up throwing their money away, but worse, building up false hopes with substandard or unoptimized products. There are many who simply do not have any more time to venture except with the best possible options! Original Limu has no rival and it is essential that the people of our land learn about it ASAP and start allowing the body to heal itself with the catalysts, enzymes, antioxidants, and building blocks provided by Original Limu. Allowing the body to heal itself, in fact, is the basis of Modern Day Medicine whose father is Hippocrates whose two key teachings seem to be ignored in our modern times of “above all, do no harm” and “let food be your medicine and medicine be your food.” I am no doctor and cannot prescribe, diagnose, treat or cure anything, but my common sense as supported by the Father of Modern Day Medicine, Hippocrates, tells me that Original Limu is an extraordinary food for helping the body overcome health challenges that beset it. It would be a blessing to me if I could be of assistance to those in need of better and more effective nutrition through Original Limu, which is only a food, not a medicine of the pharmaceutical venue.

In reply to Fucoidan: Not in Ambrotose, Only in Original Limu, posted by Thorp on May 18, 2005, at 23:46:04
Ambrotose does have fucoidan, or frucose from brown seaweed. Limu means seaweed. (translation)Ambrotose has been improved with more frucose this year, 2005. The Improved product is called
"Advanced Ambrotose". Mannatech will improve and optimize it's product as time goes on.The body is able to manufacture the essential glyconutrients, the process requires complex
chemical reactions. This diverts energy to from other jobs the body has to perform. Making glyconutrients is the bodies backup system. The body also scavenges the glyco's or monosacharides from dead cells.
