When I measure out Ambrotose powder using a measuring spoon, I often get a different number of spoonfuls from one jar to the next. Why is this?
The filling of the jars is measured by weight, not volume. Because this is a natural product, there is sometimes a variation of density in the ingredients. This may affect the number of servings obtained using a teaspoon (a volume measurement) but does not change the number of servings by weight.

When the product is dispensed into the containers the weight is used to determine the fill. Each jar is individually weighed during the time of dispensing, and a sampling is taken and reweighed prior to distribution of the batch. We are confident that the weight is correct.

Does Advanced Ambrotose powder contain iodine due to the inclusion of Undaria?
Yes. Mannatech’s Advanced Ambrotose powder contains a trace amount of iodine per serving. The US RDI (Recommended Daily Intake) for iodine is 150 mcg per day.
