Nutraceutical products differ from traditional vitamins and mineral supplements as nutraceuticals contain no artificial or synthetic chemicals.  Nutraceuticals contain high concentrations of whole foods, food enzymes, probiotics, essential oils, and phytonutrients (plant based herbal nutrients) which are combined in specific, highly digestible and easily absorbent formulas.

NutraPlus™, with the proprietary Wild Yam Complex from NutraVine™, is a Dioscorea formula in an all natural, whole food supplement for full support of the endocrine system, bringing immediate results in overall hormonal balance and vital energy. Extensive research using the Wild Yam Complex shows superior results in improvement of stress, aches & pains, memory, sleep, energy production, immune support, weight management, mental focusing, liver function, depression, menopausal symptoms, PMS, osteoporosis, DHEA levels, and strength. NutraPlus™ is a favorite of just about everyone, including body builders, athletes, teens, dieters, aging “baby boomers,” and those with chronic diseases such as arthritis, allergies, fatigue, and irritability. The NutraVine™ Company has found that NutraPlus™ is the #1 favorite supplement choice for all who have tried it. As one of our signature products, we are excited to be able to offer it to our clients, for the benefits are truly astounding. But how could one simple food supplement do so much? Is it impossible to expect these good results for everyone? And what is “Dioscorea” anyway? Is it harmful or addictive? Could it be for me? And what about my spouse, my parents, and my children?

“Dioscorea villosa,” better known as the Wild Yam, is a fascinating plant, valued as a medicinal herb for more than 2,000 years. It is the most prolific herb in all of the plant kingdom throughout the world! Japanese researchers discovered the value of the Wild Yam in 1936 when they realized that “diosgenin” was an extract of the yam that was remarkably similar to some of the adrenal hormones, such as pregnenolone, progesterone, testosterone, estradiol, aldosterone, cortisone, and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). Because of its pharmaceutical use in the formulation of synthetic hormones, the Wild Yam has become the most widely used herb in the world today. It provides 50% of the raw materials for the manufacture of synthetic steroids, after the Wild Yam has been chemically altered. As documented in a 1992 National Geographic article entitled “Under the Spell of the Trobriand Islands,” the Wild Yam is considered the most prized commodity in their culture. Indeed, wherever the Wild Yam is eaten in great quantities, the peoples are remarkably free from many of the terrible diseases, such as diabetes, atherosclerosis, jaundice, cancers, arthritis, and mental disorders, that plague our American society. Medical research has focused primarily on the effects of the hormonal precursor dehydroepiandrosterone, or DHEA, which the body can manufacture naturally from the Dioscorea. Over 6,000 articles have been published in the Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA) regarding the safety, efficacy and benefits of naturally-produced Wild Yam DHEA, and other extracted substances from the Dioscorea wild yam. However, natural substances which are manufactured from whole foods or herbs, without an altered, synthetic molecular substance, are unpatentable, and are therefore unappealing to the pharmaceutical companies. The current use of DHEA supplements are synthetically manufactured in the lab, and can be toxic to the liver. However, the NutraPlus™ Wild Yam Complex is a whole food, which the body can safely convert to DHEA and the other necessary hormonal precursors that may be lacking or missing in our diet; then, the body will more effectively balance our hormones to each person’s unique requirements.

DIOSCOREA RESEARCH AND DISEASE

Science has discovered that those with low levels of progesterone and DHEA have a greater incidence of atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries, resulting in heart attacks, angina pectoris, strokes, paralysis, senility, amputations, gangrene, kidney failure, impotence, vascular disease and blindness. The Medical College of Virginia found that increasing progesterone and DHEA levels can reduce cholesterol levels, atherosclerosis and blockage of the arteries of the heart.

Raising DHEA levels can be helpful in certain viral illnesses, including common colds and flu by buffering the stress response and building strength and stamina. As people age, they become more susceptible to infectious diseases and environmental toxins. An older or compromised immune system has difficulty fighting new viruses, so illnesses can be more severe. Then, the immune system appears to be overloaded with toxins, heavy metals, and begins to attack the body’s own organs, resulting in an autoimmune disorder. The deterioration of the immune system may be a direct result of the decline in DHEA and other hormonal imbalances. The Israel Institute for Biomedical Research has found that this deterioration can be reversed by increasing DHEA levels, which reversed the immune deficiency. Temple University School of Medicine found that Dioscorea prevents infections of the Epstein-Barr virus, the virus responsible for infectious mononucleosis. The University of Utah School of Medicine found that Dioscorea can protect immune function in the midst of a direct attack on immune cells.

It is a known fact that DHEA levels are lower in humans who develop cancer. John Hopkins University has stated that raising DHEA levels will reduce this risk significantly. According to the Townsend Letter for Doctors, December, 1998, Dr. John Lee, M.D., has documented that the natural precursors found in the Wild Yam Complex can prevent and reverse many cancers, including cancers of the prostate, uterus, ovary, breast, lung, colon, thyroid, skin, and liver. However, it was found that taking the synthetic hormone form of DHEA can produce serious side effects, notably damage to the liver. Therefore, a natural, whole food supplement of Dioscorea such as NutraPlus™ is preferred.

DHEA levels are lowest in those with the greatest degree of senility, but when Dioscorea was given to old mice, their memory processes increased to the high levels of young mice. One study strongly suggests that correcting DHEA levels may prevent or improve Alzheimer’s conditions. The Zurich School of Medicine in Switzerland found that wild yam greatly increases the number of nerve cells and their ability to establish connections to other nerve cells. Researchers at the University of California increased the DHEA levels of 30 men and women, aged 40-70, for 3 months. They found that 67% of the men and 84% of the women reported that they felt better emotionally and physically. They had more energy, were more alert, and had a more positive outlook on life because of their increase in levels of natural hormones. Stability of thought processes and mental clarity have also been noted in those with ADD, ADHD, and depression, even in children as young as 7 years of age. The Dioscorea Wild Yam has proven to be beneficial for emotional support and sense of well-being, bringing balance to the various hormonal receptors and organs of the body.

It is believed that Dioscorea may cause fat and carbohydrates to be used more efficiently, creating more energy and decreasing fat storage. The last decade has proven substantially and without a doubt that the topical application of Wild Yam cream, containing natural progesterone, produces remarkable improvement in PMS symptoms, including the elimination of water retention and weight gain. As published in the Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA), Dr. John Lee, M.D., found that when synthetic estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) is used in pre- and post-menopausal women, a woman is forced to deal with the new problems of irregular vaginal bleeding, endometrial hyperplasia, and cancer. The cancer risk persists for 15 years after the ERT is terminated! However, with Dioscorea supplementation, blood estrogen levels increased to normal without fluid retention, breast tenderness, weight gain, depression. The beneficial side effects of the Dioscorea were lower blood cholesterol levels, relief from night sweats, hot flashes, palpitations, arthritis, an increase in bone density, reversal of osteoporosis, and significant reduction in fractures of the elderly.

THE DIOSCOREA WILD YAM COMPLEX of NutraPlus™

The proprietary Wild Yam Complex found in the NutraPlus™ supplement is a scientifically controlled blend of species of Dioscorea, containing the bioactive Wild Yam components of diosgenin, dioscorins, saponins, dioscoretines, and other phytonutrients. The timed-release mixture also contains specific essential oils, amino acids, herbs, and enzymes, including schizandra berry, and is pH adjusted for proper absorption. A proprietary process for identifying the active constituents and preparing the formula makes the NutraPlus™ Wild Yam Complex the most complete wild yam supplement available in the marketplace today. The NutraPlus™ contains wild yam precursors for many different hormones that are integral to maintaining optimal health characteristics and efficient body function, normalizing the body’s production of nucleic acids and mobilizing the body’s efficient burning of excess fat. Independent laboratory studies by hormone experts at various clinics in the U.S. came to the confirming conclusion that various components of the NutraPlus™ Wild Yam Complex also had an insulin-stabilizing effect to balance blood glucose levels and prolong normal lifespan.

The latest medical research has shown that the NutraPlus™ Wild Yam Complex has superb antioxidant activity, lipid normalization properties, eliminates toxicities in the liver and kidney cells through the death of the cancer cell mitochondria, is anti-fungal, and contains numerous vitamins, minerals, and proteins. Doctors throughout the world have continually documented the wild yam’s antitumor and cytotoxic activity, blood sugar and blood pressure normalizing effects, and even ACE-inhibiting benefits of these amazing tubers. The newest studies have proven that the Wild Yam Complex supports adrenal function, relieves PMS and menopausal symptoms, reverses most prostate disorders, and provides the raw materials needed by the body for healthy hormonal balance. Indeed, NutraPlus™ is an overall nourishing supplement for the whole family, a proprietary Dioscorea Wild Yam Complex food that deserves the highest priority in those who desire optimal health!

“NutraGreens™,” which we like to call “The Greatest Food on Earth,” is the newest NutraVine™ Nutraceutical for Life. NutraGreens™ is an almost perfect phytonutrient supplement, a “superfood” with a purpose. Our nourishing and energizing supplement combines the nutritional power of 4 organic cereal grass juice powders, 3 sea vegetable protein foods — chlorella, spirulina, & hydrilla verticillata — for a total of 42 concentrated whole foods and herbal extracts, providing ALL the vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants you need in a daily multiple supplement!

Only a few years ago, scientists didn’t even know that phytochemicals existed, but today, they are the new frontier in disease and cancer-prevention research. These phytochemicals or phytonutrients (“phyto” means “plant” in Greek) are found in whole foods, especially fruits and vegetables, and go beyond ordinary vitamins and minerals in bringing about good health. Every slice of tomato, every bite of apricot, potato, strawberry, spinach, whole grain, or broccoli contains thousands of phytochemicals, which are developed by the action of sunlight on plants, and which are used by our bodies to promote health and well-being. Devra Lee Davis, senior science adviser at the U.S. Public Health Service states that “. . . these natural phytochemical products can take tumors and defuse them. . . They can turn off the proliferative process of cancer.” For instance, researchers have found a compound in broccoli called sulforaphane, which seems to keep lab animals from getting breast cancer. The National Academy of Sciences team reports that the broccoli compound protects living animals against cancer. Biologists have learned that cancer is a multi-step process, in which a cell has to jump through many biological hoops to become malignant. Phytochemicals seem to be able to throw a biochemical wrench into one or more of the mechanisms leading to tumors. Scientists at Cornell University reported in 1994 that 2 of tomatoes’ 10,000 phytochemicals, p-coumaric acid and chlorogenic acid, snuff out the formation of cancer-causing substances. “The whole tomato is more effective against [carcinogen] formation than just the vitamin C component,” says Cornell’s Joseph Hotchkiss. “You can’t have a lousy diet and take a few vitamins and get the same benefit.” Scientists in Germany isolated a phytochemical in soybeans, called genistein, that interrupts supply lines of tumors. This phytochemical seems to keep tiny tumors from getting connected to capillaries that carry oxygen and nutrition. Without these supply lines, the tumor never grows, metastasizes, or kills. Garlic and onions contain phytochemicals called allylic sulfides that seem to protect against stomach cancer. They work by waking up enzymes inside cells which detoxify cancer-causing chemicals. Almost every fruit and vegetable produces flavonoids, a phytochemical which races to the sites of cancer-causing hormones such as estrogen, stopping the attachment of the hormones to cells. The overall message in these new discoveries is to eat a diet full of whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. But many Americans are constantly on the run, and take no time to prepare these simple foods from day to day.

Thus, the nutritional supplement industry began examining methods of flash-freeze drying these phytochemicals in the food, and putting them in pill, capsule or powder form. One advantage in the flash freeze drying process is that the toxins from the pesticides sprayed on our produce are removed in the dehydration process. The most exciting benefit of phytochemical supplementation is that these supplements provide the nutritive ingredients found in large quantities of fruits, vegetables, grains, and herbs, thereby improving health and providing useful anti-viral, anti-microbial, anti-parasitic, and health-building properties in today’s compromised food industry.

Probably the most important factor in maintaining and restoring health is to develop a healthy digestive system. We are “home” to trillions of microorganisms that live on and inside us. Every person harbors more microorganisms in their gastrointestinal tract than there are people in the world! Although some of the microorganisms inside us may be harmful, the vast majority are not. In fact, they are necessary for good health. Without these beneficial microorganisms we could not survive — hence, the name “probiotics,” meaning “for life.” The 7 varieties of “probiotics,” or friendly intestinal bacteria, in NutraGreens™ focuses on improving the digestion of food and transportation of nutrients into the body from the gastrointestinal tract. Each serving provides over 15 billion probiotics, which help break down proteins for easy assimilation, transport minerals across the intestinal mucosa, synthesize several B vitamins in the intestines, and create an unfriendly environment for pathogenic bacteria and Candida yeasts, thereby reducing the level of disease-causing bacteria and shrinking yeast colonies in the gut.

The fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) and chlorophyll from the “green foods” (cereal grasses) in NutraGreens™ support the action of the probiotics and nourish the entire body. Apple fiber, apple pectin and the highest quality patented lecithin help to remove heavy metals, cholesterol, and toxins from the intestinal tract before they can be absorbed. Some of the earth’s most nutrient dense foods are in the organic cereal grass juice powders (alfalfa, barley, oat, and wheat); these contain 33% complete protein, 37% complex carbohydrates, essential fatty acids, enzymes, and plenty of natural “whole food” vitamins, minerals, growth factors, phytochemicals, and antioxidants.

The Spirulina and Chlorella in NutraGreens™ deliver more than 60% protein, trace minerals, and other phytochemicals. The Hydrilla verticillata is a fresh water green food that is more than 13% calcium and is also a potent source of B vitamins. Its beta carotene content is 3 times greater than chlorella’s, and its protein is complete and balanced for superb utilization by the body for the production of energy. Some of hydrilla’s nutritional factors also include RNA, DNA, GLA magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, copper, selenium, molybdenum, SOD, enzymes, and rich amounts of B-12. The Flax Seed Meal is organic and provides the essential omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids, for cardiac and brain function, plus soluble and insoluble fiber to fight cholesterol and heavy metals.

The bioavailability of the nutrients in NutraGreens™ has been enhanced by the addition of ginger root and cayenne herbs, which also stimulate the digestive processes with live enzymes. Enzymes are the spark of life — you could not digest or absorb food, walk, talk, or even breathe without them. Vitamins aren’t activated until they join enzymes. You can swallow pounds of supplements, but without enzymes, nothing works, and you’re just wasting your money. NutraGreens™ is loaded with enzymes from almost all of the ingredients, because the foods are flash-freeze dried, never heated, as heat destroys the enzymes in our foods.

NutraGreens™ contains almost 300 mg. of herbal antioxidants to destroy free radicals and improve circulation. The foundation of human metabolism is built on oxidation, which both keeps us alive and slowly pushes us toward the end. Oxidative damage to cells defines aging and diseases, especially heart disease, arthritis, cancer, and autoimmune disorders. NutraGreens™ is loaded with antioxidants such as natural soybean Vitamin E, acerola berry juice powder — the richest food source of Vitamin C — and wheat and soy sprout powders, which boost your body’s own natural production of cellular antioxidants such as SOD and catalase. The finest available grape seed and grape skin proanthocyanidins (OPCs) and green tea catechins are powerful phytochemical antioxidants that fight inflammation, repair connective tissue, and reduce free radicals. Silymarin is added to support the health of the liver, the body’s most vital organ. Without a sound liver, health is impossible, and, in fact, all of the phytochemicals in NutraGreens™ help to support and detoxify the liver.

Finally, NutraGreens™ contains herbal adaptogens which offer superior immune support, such as bee pollen, royal jelly, suma, Panax ginseng, astragalus, echinacea, dulse, and spinach octacosanols. These natural herbs help to normalize the function of the vascular, pulmonary, and neurological systems. Natural licorice root and the herbal stevia leaf extract make NutraGreens™ the best-tasting of all the green superfoods, and none can compare with our protein-fat-carbohydrate-balanced formula. The hypoallergenic formula supports the body’s endurance, brain and nerve activity, fertility, and help to set the immune system at a higher level of efficiency.

Concentrated phytochemical superfoods have proven to be able to restore and maintain a healthy digestive system, and NutraGreens™ provides a complete spectrum of whole food matrix vitamins, minerals, trace nutrients, phytochemicals, enzymes, amino acids, and probiotics for overall health support. The wonderful whole foods and phytochemicals contained in NutraGreens™ help us compensate for the immunosuppressive stress of our modern lifestyle. Although our formula was not intended as a therapeutic formula, many have responded as though it were. Since only the body can heal itself, and since it can only heal itself if the right nutrients are available and are actually assimilated by the cells, NutraGreens™ should be the choice for anyone who desires the finest whole food, phytochemical supplement. Instead of buying several different vitamin/mineral products, you will appreciate the bountiful formula and economic savings provided by NutraGreens™. The whole family will love the nutritional experience of NutraGreens™ — the “Greatest Food on Earth”! *

The NutraVine™ Company was founded upon the development and formulation of the most effective Aloe vera supplement ever offered for health-building, and, thus, MannaVine™ was born!
We understood that Manapol® was the greatest stabilized Aloe vera food ever developed, and we wanted to formulate a Manapol® product that would be better absorbed and utilized by the body, in order that the immune system would be able to function at its maximum potential. After many years of study and research, we believe that MannaVine™ is the most superior Manapol® product available today. But what is Manapol®? How was it discovered? And what does Manapol® do for our health?

The Aloe vera plant has been used medicinally for thousands of years, and is mentioned fondly in some of the world’s most ancient writings. In the Bible book of Numbers, Chapter 24, verse 5 – 6, the prophet speaks: “How beautiful are your tents, O Jacob, your dwelling places, O Israel! Like valleys they spread out, like gardens beside a river, like Aloes planted by the Lord Himself, like cedars beside the waters.” King Solomon equated the aloes with the choicest fruits, myrrh, and all the finest spices. However, modern science had been unable to document the active principle of healing reported to be found in the Aloe vera plant.

With the research and discoveries of Dr. Clinton Howard, Ph.D., the founder of Carrington Laboratories, Irving, Texas, Dr. Bill McAnalley, Ph.D., Dr. Reginald McDaniel, M.D., and Dr. Robert Carpenter, D.V.M., the mystery of the Aloe vera L. plant began to be unlocked. For the first time in recorded history, the structure of the illusive healing molecule in the Aloe vera was scientifically identified, studied, and documented in hundreds and thousands of tests. In the early 1980’s, Dr. McAnalley discovered that the therapeutic action of the Aloe vera plant gel was due to a uniquely structured, biologically active mucilaginous polysaccharide called a “polymannan.” This polymannan is a naturally-occurring “mannose” carbohydrate, which would easily break down by a plant enzyme within hours of harvest time if not stabilized, destroying its functional capacity. It was discovered that the Aloe vera gel needed to be carefully separated from the leaf skin, in order to avoid the undesirable “laxative” effect from anthraquinones found in the surface of the outer leaf. Then, the inner gel was carefully processed using freeze-drying techniques, preserving the natural goodness found in the fresh Aloe vera gel.

Carrington was able to develop and patent new proprietary processing techniques that deactivated the destructive enzyme, thus preserving the rich complex carbohydrates naturally found in fresh Aloe vera gel. The traditional method of producing Aloe vera products uses excessive heat and filtration to produce a product which consists of simple sugars, low molecular weight components, and contains the laxative anthraquinones. However, the patented Carrington process uses no heat to extract and purify the active healing principle of the Aloe vera polymannans, and produces a freeze-dried powder which is called “Acemannan” and “Manapol®.” The FDA has issued over 70 patents to Carrington Laboratories, on both the active Aloe vera molecule itself and on the method and process of stabilization of the Aloe polymannan.

The properties of the Aloe vera polymannans have proven to be even more remarkable than the early researchers had imagined possible, and further research continues to verify the healing properties of the Manapol®. Through the research efforts of Dr. Robert Davis, Dr. Ivan Danhof, Dr. Ian Tizard, Dr. Allen Hoffman, and others, the nutrient-rich Manapol® was proven to have an ability to stimulate and strengthen the immune system. Dr. Wendell Winters, Associate Professor of Microbiology at the University of Texas Health Science Center, has conducted research on Aloe vera and Manapol® for over 15 years. He states, “We think of Aloe as a pharmacy in a plant.” According to Dr. Winters, researchers have identified a substance in Manapol® that causes cells to divide and multiply, stimulating growth of white blood cells and other immune-function cells. Medical research studies have shown that the Manapol® has wound healing and anti-inflammatory properties needed by the body to repair cellular functions. The research of Dr. Ivan Danhof has shown that some agents contained in the Manapol® stimulate positive cell growth in the retina, thus preventing some forms of blindness. Dr. Reginald McDaniel has discovered that the Acemannan acts as an inhibitor of the AIDS virus replication process, and that the Manapol® can stimulate bone marrow activity, promoting wound healing, inhibiting tumor growth, and normalizing the immune system of those with auto-immune disease.

The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA), passed by Congress in 1994, permits the regulation claim of “enhancing the immune system” to be made about the Manapol®. As recently as November, 1999, Carrington Laboratories was granted a patent for the use of Manapol® in lowering and regulating cholesterol levels and in removing plaque from blood vessels, which further enhances the vascular system. According to statistics from the American Heart Association, an estimated 98 million American adults have high blood cholesterol levels, with 39 million considered in the very high risk category. Cholesterol can build up in the walls of the arteries and can cause plaque to form, narrowing or blocking the arteries, often resulting in a heart attack, stroke, or other serious vascular disease. Manapol® has been proven by documented research to offer the consumer a natural way to maintain healthy cholesterol levels and remove plaque from blood vessels, without all the side effects which exist with the current prescription drugs. This is very good news for most Americans!

Manapol® may be the most significant phytonutrient nutraceutical discovery of our modern time. The well-known Dr. Julian Whitaker, M.D., has said, “Manapol® from Carrington is the only dietary source of biologically active Aloe vera, with a patented process for stabilization and a standardized dose of polymannans. When choosing an Aloe vera supplement, make sure it contains Manapol® as the primary active ingredient.” In accordance with DSHEA, Carrington’s patented Aloe vera supplement, Manapol®, has been certified in medical studies to be an “immunomodulator,” which means that it assists the body in correcting or “modulating” the immune system. Studies show that the Manapol® is an activating food for the large white blood cells called “macrophages,” which are the “generals” of the immune system. These macrophages are crucial to correcting immune dysfunction, whether that involves an underactive immune system. such as in AIDS or cancer, or an overactive immune system, such as in rheumatoid arthritis, allergies, asthma, ulcerative colitis, lupus, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, and other autoimmune diseases. It is believed that the Manapol® empowers the macrophage blood cells to mobilize other cytokines, such as T-cells, B-cells, interleukins, interferons, and tumor necrosis factors, to become more active in recognizing immune system problems and then to allow the body’s cells to correct the problems in the immune system. The world’s most renowned expert on Aloe vera, Dr. Ivan Danhof, M.D., and three times Ph.D., has stated, “The future of Aloe vera belongs to those who have the ability to stabilize the labile polysaccharide of Aloe vera, of which Manapol® is the only commercially available Aloe vera product capable of achieving and making the claim for the standardizing process of these beneficial betamannan polysaccharides.”

While the Manapol® Aloe vera seems to be a miracle food supplement, it needs a “carrier” molecule in order for the Manapol® to be fully absorbed and assimilated by the liver and other digestive organs. When combined with an essential fatty acid carrier molecule, the Manapol® is more fully utilized by the immune system, and it also becomes most beneficial to the digestive system itself, eliminating the symptoms of indigestion, reflux, heartburn, irritable bowel, Candida yeast overgrowth, and others. It has been proven in research by The Fisher Institute to assist in restoring the liver, restoring proper blood sugar balance in the pancreas, and in promoting the body’s own destruction of cancerous or benign tumors. The NutraVine™ Company has found that the highest quality of carrier molecules are those from natural soy lecithin. Lecithin, a naturally-occurring fatty acid, is needed by the myelin sheaths of the nerve cells for proper nerve formation and function. Lecithin is also needed by the brain for proper transmission of neurons, and lecithin is valued as a detoxifier of the liver, necessary for proper hormone production of the liver and other endocrine system organs. Americans have not consumed enough lecithin in the diet for the last 50 years, probably due to the erroneous cholesterol scare over the consumption of eggs, a high dietary source of lecithin. While there are different varieties of soy lecithin that are used in the nutrition industry, some of these are overprocessed, full of chemicals, and useless to the body. MannaVine™ contains a special patented form of soy lecithin, which was developed by doctors and researchers at Texas A & M University School of Medicine; this special lecithin product has been shown to boost the cellular absorption of the trace minerals and amino acids found in the Manapol®. In controlled studies, when the patented soy lecithin was added to the Manapol®, the benefits of the Manapol® were increased by up to 60 times more than the use of Manapol® alone. Many individuals who had received only a few benefits from Manapol® were amazed at the increased relief from adverse health conditions when they consumed the MannaVine™ with lecithin. Even those in good health noticed improved sleep, more energy, relief from allergies, improved digestion, and better mental acuity with the use of MannaVine™.

But the NutraVine™ Company wanted to make sure that the MannaVine™ product could not be excelled, and so it was decided to use the Manapol Supreme® for the formula, a certified Manapol® formula, analyzed to the most excruciating standards of quality control. MannaVine™ contains 30 milligrams of the Manapol Supreme®, the patented, freeze-dried mucilaginous polysaccharides found in 100% pure Aloe vera L. gel, which is grown by Carrington’s own farms in the natural volcanic, rich soil of Costa Rica. Each capsule of MannaVine™ is equivalent to one ounce of fresh Aloe vera inner leaf gel, with no added yeast-producing ingredients. The leaves of the Aloe vera are hand-picked, hand-washed, hand-filleted, naturally prepared without heat, and then are flash-freeze dried in a unique, patented proprietary process. No other company in the world prepares their Aloe in this manner, which makes the Manapol Supreme® so effective and unique. The rain forests in Costa Rica produce some of the richest soil, which provides more trace minerals and nutrients for the Aloe vera plants. In independent laboratory studies, the Manapol® Supreme® has been analyzed to an exacting degree, revealing that it contains over 7,000 units of Calcium and 2.43 units of Iron per 100 grams, along with Magnesium, Potassium, Zinc, Chromium, Manganese, Copper, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin B6 and B12, Choline, Folic Acid, Beta Carotene, Vitamin E, organic enzymes, protein, and 16 different amino acids, including arginine, glycine, histidine, lysine, methionine, proline, taurine, and tyrosine.

Finally, the most exciting ingredient found within the Manapol® Supreme was the newly discovered Beta-1,3-Glucan, which has been shown by Harvard Medical School to enhance the immune response at the macrophage cell site. Beta-1,3-Glucan activates the immune system in the event of infection or assault, whether from bacteria, virus, fungus, parasite, or radiation. When Beta-1,3-Glucan was measured against 3 of Japan’s most potent immune-modulating pharmaceutical drugs currently used in cancer chemotherapy, the Beta-1,3-Glucan proved more effective than all the chemotherapy agents, without the toxicity from the pharmaceuticals. Beta-1,3-Glucan was found to have cholesterol and triglyceride lowering attributes, with antioxidant capabilities which were active in protecting the body from damage from radiation. The Beta-1,3-Glucan helped the macrophage cells release factors important to the restoration of bone marrow production, and nourished the Langerhans cells of the pancreas and skin, assisting the body’s proper blood sugar regulation and helping to produce clear, less wrinkled, blemish-free skin. In controlled studies, over 56% of individuals saw improvement in facial wrinkles, and 74% in skin elasticity and firmness within just 8 weeks. Other studies have shown that Beta-1,3-Glucan sometimes reduces the need for antibiotics, has a powerful antifungal effect, and helps in the body’s overall production of energy. Finally, the MannaVine™ Beta-1,3-Glucan is not derived from baker’s yeast, but is found within the Manapol® Supreme itself, and therefore, will not cause the unpleasant side effects associated with yeast in sensitive individuals.

And all of these ingredients, the Manapol Supreme®, the patented lecithin, and the Beta-1,3-Glucan are found in MannaVine™! The NutraVine™ Company is extremely proud of our superior nutraceutical formula MannaVine™ — it is safe and nourishing for the entire family, including all ages of children, and is the most digestible and effective form of Aloe vera available on the market. In today’s stressful and toxic environment, MannaVine™ is the #1 foundational supplement for a healthy immune system!
