What is ashwagandha (Sensoril) and why has it been added to Catalyst Multivitamin?
Sensoril is a patented strain of ashwagandha supported by 11 scientific studies designed to enhance adaptogen health benefits. Mannatech has added ashwagandha to the Catalyst Multivitamin formula to support a balanced body and mind. One of the most powerful herbs in Ayurvedic practices, ashwagandha has been used widely since ancient times and is most well-known as an adaptogen (natural substances that help the body to adapt to stress and exert a normalizing effect upon bodily processes) with restorative properties. The use of ashwagandha may help alleviate stress, fatigue, lack of energy and impaired concentration. It is frequently referred to as “Indian Ginseng” because of its rejuvenating properties.
Why are the ingredients in Catalyst Multivitamin tablets sourced from other natural sources besides just plants?
Science marches on, and we know that the mineral yield in many plant-based ingredients is just too low. We have to source minerals from additional elements. Consider that if you were attempting to achieve the same nutrition levels found in Catalyst Multivitamin tablets, using only plant material, that multivitamin would cost at least $150 per bottle and you would have to take 20 tablets a day!
What exactly is a mineral?
Minerals are natural elements, like vitamins, that are considered essential nutrients. They act together in the human body, performing hundreds of vital roles to maintain necessary healthy functions. Minerals are essential, but because our bodies can’t make them, we have to ingest them in order to maintain normal, healthy processes.
What are natural mineral chelates?
Today, advanced science allows naturally occurring minerals to be bound to natural amino acids. This binding process, known as chelation combines minerals with organic compounds that improve stability and the bioavailability of nutrients. Chelation allows for efficient transport of minerals across the intestinal wall in order to be utilized throughout the body.
Why are natural mineral chelates beneficial?
Chelate comes from the Greek word for “claw,” which refers to how organic compounds are attached to inorganic compounds to improve nutrient uptake by the body. In their natural inorganic form, many minerals are poorly absorbed by the body. The body undergoes natural chelation during the digestive process, but it can be inefficient from person to person. But chelated minerals work with the digestive process to greatly improve nutrient uptake and utilization by the body. This means that more of the nutrients you need are properly absorbed by your body.
Are the minerals in Catalyst Multivitamin sourced from plants?
Catalyst was specifically formulated using chelated minerals (see above) because the chelation process allows the minerals to be more easily absorbed by the body. The elemental minerals in Catalyst Multivitamin are naturally occurring and have the benefit of providing a much higher nutrient level per serving than is possible from plant based minerals alone.
Why does Mannatech use Albion® chelated minerals in their Catalyst Multivitamin?

What are Glyconutrients?
Simply put, they are specialized ingredients derived from plants and Aloe that provide targeted nourishment for your cells. There are trillions of cells in your body that talk to each other, but environmental toxins, age and bad eating habits can affect cell-to-cell communication. This can affect your overall wellness, which is why Mannatech, the innovator and pioneer of Glyconutrients, continues to cultivate this incredible technology so your body can do amazing things.*
Why are antioxidants important?
Antioxidant-rich nutrients help protect your cells against the harmful effects of toxins, environmental stress, poor diet and oxidative stress. Antioxidants also act as free radical scavengers.*
What are free radicals?
Free radicals are reactive molecules that can affect the health of your cells. Toxins such as pollution, stress and even a poor diet can contribute to the creation of free radicals, which can lead to an acceleration of the aging process. However, antioxidants reduce free radicals by contributing electrons to help maintain molecular stability.*
Can men and women use PLUS caplets?
Yes, men and women can use PLUS caplets. Our PLUS caplets contain healthful amino acids that both women's and men's endocrine systems can use.
What is the endocrine system and why is it important?
The endocrine system is the system that maintains hormonal balance in the body. A well-functioning endocrine system helps support the body's natural recovery from physical and emotional stress and works in harmony with the body's immune system.*
Who is OSP ideal for?
