Oh, to breathe freely

One of the small blessings in my life is that I hardly ever get sick. The down side to this is that when I actually do get a cold, or God forbid, flu, it hits me like a ton of bricks. Because of the fact that I'm a quadruplegic, I don't have much control over my abdominal muscles and this poses a huge problem --- I can't cough. A chest infection can therefore see me into a hospital bed, or worse. A cold has got implications for me that it wouldn't have for others. Physiotherapy, antibiotics... it's a bit like swatting a fly with a wrecking ball. Fortunately, I have discovered Mannatech's Manna-C, a product I'll never have far from me again.

Mannatech’s Manna-C herbal dietary supplement is designed to support your nasal and sinus health by nutritionally supporting your body’s natural ability to regulate histamine—the cause of much nasal and sinus discomfort, not to mention reactions to allergens.

This special formulation delivers an herbal blend that includes lemon verbena, sage, peppermint and other herbs containing additional phytonutrients. Manna-C also contains natural forms of vitamin C from Australian bush plum and acerola, wild fruits that are considered two of nature’s richest sources of this vitamin.

The Ambrotose complex in Manna-C combines saccharides needed for optimal health with an herbal blend that yields natural sources of vitamin C. It also furnishes additional nutrients used to support mast cell function.
