Subject: Acemannans -- Is this the same as the 1,000:1 I've been hearing about?
I've been hearing much lately about potent
Aloe Products and proprietary extraction processes, etc. from many companies and I am trying
as a consumer to make an informed decision.
For example, there's Dr. Wheeler's MPS-GOLD,
the proprietary freeze-dried Aloe Vera powder (comprised of long chain, high molecular
weight manose/galactose carbohydrate molecules. See website: mhttp://www.0disease.com).
MPS-GOLD is manufactured by Carrington Labs,
unfortunutely Carrington extracts the very long/high molecular weight mannans for
pharmaceutical purposes. So, basically your only getting the high, medium, and
low molecular weight mannans, which are still good. But very little if any of the
very long / high molecular weight, because of Carrington's extraction method. Our
associates know Dr. Wheeler personally and he's been using this marketing approach
for the past 8 years.
Then there's Mole-Cures A.M.P Aloe Vera capsules
or powder. They say their A.M.P. Molo-Cure® is concentrated: (1,000 to 1). Due to this
patented extraction process, no other Aloe product in existence contains similar concentration
levels of Stabilized Mucilaginous Polysaccharides molecules. It takes approximately
8 GALLONS of fresh 100% Aloe Vera gel to make just ONE OUNCE of A.M.P. Molo-Cure®!
1,000 to 1 concentration calculation; 8 gal. = 1,024 fl. oz. 100% Aloe Vera gel.
Process extracts and stabilizes the A.M.P. molecules, - 1 oz. product remaining.
(Rounded; 1000 to 1 concentration of stabilized Aloe Mucilaginous Polysaccharides.)
Their web site is: http://www.molocure.com/compare.shtml#process
200:1 is highest concentration that exists, period.
The math makes this obvious: you get 0.5% (1 part per 200) of the high quality solid,
of which about 25 to 35% is acemannan, out of good inner leaf gel. How do you get
1,000:1 to one of our this --- it's just nonsense. More marketing hype.
Our aloe vendor has been aware of this company for some time now and have spoke to them
several times. Admittedly, they also buy from Carrington Labs.
I could go on and on but these seem to be the top two.
Then I was looking at your site as I haven't been
to it lately, and I saw that you have an Aloe Product that contains long chain acemannans, etc.
Is this all the same thing: acemannans, mucilaginous pollysaccharides, high molecular weight
manose/galactose carbohydrate molecules, etc.?
Our Acemannan product is different from the other two sites you have
references. There is a fundamental difference between the results you get in freeze-drying
versus low temperature dehydration:
Freeze dried = up to 500,000 - 800,000 daltons
Dehydrated = up to 1,000,000 - 2,000,000 daltons
In the past, I have used your Cansema product
on myself and my dog, and it is nothing short of miraculous. So, of course, I'm interested in
your aloe, but wanted to get your opinion on all of this. The other aloe products look great,
but are EXTREMELY expensive. Yours is so inexpensive it seems too good to be true. Are the
products similar in ingredients and effectiveness. Do they do the same thing or what?
I appreciate any honest info.
Our product is what we say it is: it is the
solid 200:1 concentrate from the inner leaf gel, not the whole leaf. Acemannan content
from these aloe solids will vary, but using the dehydration process our vendor employs
it will vary in the range of 25 to 35%. People who know us, know we shoot from the hip.
This business, unfortunately, is high on hype -- and although we're not comfortable
taking on others in the nutraceutical market to task for misrepresentation, sometimes
it's unavoidable.
. . . and on July 25th, 2003, we received 'aloe' query . . .
Dear Sir, I´m very interested in aloe vera acemannan.
I´m a practitioner in Austria und we know the products of FLP - Forever Living
Products. They promote drinks with aloe vera specially stabilized
with Vitamin C and E by various temperatures. My question is,
if this drink contains remarkable amounts of acemannan.
Our product is a 200:1 dehydrated product.
It is much stronger than the aloe beverages that the MLM
companies carry --- and this includes Forever Living.
Please keep in mind, as well, that MLM companies have
to markup products 5 to 10 times in order to support
their marketing efforts, most noticeably the downline
commissions. You will not find a comparable product
to this one in the MLM channels, and if you do, the
price will be much higher.
As for getting the product quickly,
call Jean Butterlin,our distributor for continental Europe.
