id=rockoml" What is Mannatech Ambrotose /a br br How much would you pay for a pill made of sugar? br br Try $415 million. That's how much Mannatech, a Texas-based company, made in the last 12 months selling sugar pills and powders made from larch bark and aloe, known as glyconutrients.
br br Mannatech says its product, Ambrotose, is a simple nutritional supplement that helps the cells in one's body communicate with one another. Ambrotose is sold exclusively by multilevel marketing sales associates who, functioning as independent contractors, try to sign up customers to buy the product and become sales associates themselves. br br But critics say the company's bottom line is has been boosted by unverifiable health claims made by some of it's multilevel marketing sales force.
br br investigation found outlandish claims being made by some Mannatech sales associates around the country, extolling what they say are the extraordinary powers of Mannatech's patented product, called Ambrotose. Ambrotose costs at least $200 a month -- more than some prescription drugs. br

I mean, you know, it's sexy! You know? It's flattering, it's flattering to me.
Ó C-Rod said about her husband in her interview with msnbc.com 3 years ago. br br We guess she might be less flattered now, especially after the New York Post scoop.
it looks like the story will either die out after a "clarification" behind domestic walls or it may explode into a serious matter leading to a seven digits divorce. br br All we can do at this time is to wait on future developments. While waiting we can also bet against the Yankees.
A-Rod and his team will be under 'extreme" pressure in the coming days...
