Guest guest Posted May 16, 2001 Report Share Posted May 16, 2001 At the DAN conference last weekend, Jayne Barese talked about a gfcf supplement called Phytobears (from a company named Mannatech). They are shaped like little gummy bears, contain the extracts of 12 vegetables and fruits, and are supposed to improve " cell to cell communication " . I ordered them on the internet and they arrived today. Has anyone else used these? They are tiny (like the regular gummy bears), but the box says to give children age 6-12 one per day, and ages 12-Adult two per day. There are no directions for kids under 6. The ingredients are: Phyt-Aloe complex- 40 mg of broccoi, brussels sprouts, cabbage, carrot, cauliflower, garlic, kale, onion, tomato, turnip, papaya and pinapple. Ambratose complex- 4 mg of naturally occurring plant polysaccharides including freeze-dried aloe vera extract Corn syrup, sucrose, water, gelatin, citric acid, grape juice concentrate, natural flavors, natural colors, olive oil and beeswax. Can just one of these a day do any good? Would there be any harm in giving Brett 4-5 of these after a meal as dessert? (I ate one myself, and they are GOOD!) I'm confused as to why the recommended use is so low. Brett would probably eat the whole box if I'd let him, but a box of 70 was $16.95! I'll try to contact the manufacturer too, but since it appears to be an MLM-type distribution system, I thought I'd ask ya'll first for some unbiased info... Thanks so much!
