The newest Mark 8 formula contains a total of 6 proteins from plant sources - isolated soy and pea protein, oat, rice and pumpkin protein, and freshwater algae protein. Newly, Mark 8 contains the amino acids taurine and L-carnitine, which are important for proper digestion and fat metabolism. By adding taurine and L-carnitine, we have further enriched the amino acid spectrum, which is still complete - with all 9 essential amino acids represented.

Each serving of ManaDrink and ManaPowder delivers 17 g and 21 g of protein, respectively, which promotes the growth and regeneration of muscles.

According to the EFSA (European Food Safety Authority), the average daily protein requirement for adults is 0.66 g protein/kg body weight. The average adult should therefore consume at least 50 g of protein per day. A daily portion of Mana (5 servings of powder or 6 ManaDrinks) delivers twice as much!

Protein, carbs, and fat/lipids are the main macronutrients. The basis of these biopolymers is amino acids connected by peptide bonds. They support muscle growth and regeneration, facilitate transport of substances throughout the body, and are necessary for the synthesis of compounds with specific functions. They also serve as a source of energy.

The protein in Mana is a mixture of soy protein isolate, oat protein, pea protein isolate, brown rice protein, pumpkin protein, and algae protein. These are the richest and highest-quality sources of protein in the plant kingdom. They are easily digestible and deliver the full spectrum of amino acids, including all 9 essential amino acids. Essential amino acids cannot be synthesized by the body and therefore must be acquired from food.

Recent clinical studies indicate that soy protein is the best source of plant protein, second only to animal protein. Just like pea protein, rice protein, pumpkin protein, and the other proteins in Mana, it has a complete amino acid spectrum. The combination of these proteins delivers adequate bioavailability.

Complete Amino Acid Spectrum

The human body gets amino acids by digesting the protein we consume. Some amino acids can be synthesized by the body, while others cannot. The latter are essential, and therefore must be obtained through our diet. Essential amino acids include valine, leucine, isoleucine, threonine, methionine, lysine, phenylalanine, histidine, and tryptophan. Some amino acids are essential only during certain periods of psychological development. For example, a fast-growing body needs relatively high amounts of arginine and histidine. The body can partially synthesize these by itself, but not in the concentrations necessary. These 2 amino acids are therefore considered semi-essential.

We have also added the amino acids taurine and l-carnitine to the latest Mark 8 formula. Natural sources of taurine and l-carnitine are animal proteins such as meat, seafood and dairy products. As a result, people consuming a vegan or vegetarian diet have a lower intake of these nutrients.

Taurine is specifically derived from the amino acid cysteine and has many beneficial effects. Even though taurine is naturally produced in our bodies in some quantity its intake from our diet is very important. Taurine is an important component of bile, helps digest dietary fats in the small intestine, is involved in the metabolism and excretion of excess fats and cholesterol, has a function in the detoxification of substances in the liver and is involved in nerve, muscle and heart function.

L-carnitine in our body is formed naturally from the essential amino acids methionine and lysine. Thus, its formation depends, among other things, on the intake of essential amino acids from the diet. Carnitine plays an indispensable role in the transport of fatty acids into the mitochondria of cells, where fatty acids are "burned" and used for energy.

One serving of ManaDrink or ManaPowder Mark 8 now contains 100 mg of taurine and also 100 mg of L-carnitine. The amount corresponds to the average intake of taurine and L-carnitine from a classic, varied omnivore diet.

An often mentioned term related to amino acids is "amino acid pool". The body needs amino acids for the synthesis of a wide range of substances. Therefore, it needs to keep a stockpile so that it can always synthesize those substances that are needed. This pool tends to be depleted quite quickly. It is therefore essential that amino acids are continuously replenished, ideally at every meal. This is another major advantage of Mana, which provides you with enough protein with every meal. Which is preferable to taking in a large and sufficient amount of protein, but only once a day, for example at lunch.

Mana, thanks to its composition, serves as an excellent protein source, fulfilling physiological needs for all amino acids.

Soy and phytonutrients

Legumes (e.g. soybeans, peas) are not just an important source of protein, but of phytoestrogens, whose influence on hormonal balance is often subject to discussion. Yet recent research suggests that in healthy people, consuming foods rich in phytoestrogens does not disturb the natural balance of estrogens. Still, the soy and pea protein used in Mana is isolated using the latest technology, which reduces the concentration of phytoestrogens and other antinutrients in the final product by about 85%.

Fats, or lipids, are considered key nutrients that have significant effects on the human body. The plant oils in Mana are a rich source of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, vitamin E, which is an antioxidant, and phytonutrients such as phytosterols, which help lower blood cholesterol. They also contain vitamin K and carotenoids, which are precursors of vitamin A. Fatty acids from these lipids are a source of long-term energy and perform building functions within the body. Fat is generally a carrier of taste, which is one of the reasons why Mana is smooth and pleasant to the taste.

The fat sources in Mana are precisely selected plant oils—rapeseed oil, microalgae oil (Schizochytrium sp.), coconut MCT C8 oil with a pure content of 99% caprylic acid, sunflower oil, oat oil, cold-pressed linseed oil. It is a nutritionally rich combination of plant fats that are also a source of omega-3 (ALA, EPA, DHA) and omega-6 fatty acids in the exact and recommended 1:2 ratio. This unique blend is also a source of important fat-soluble vitamins and valuable phytonutrients such as vitamin E, phytosterols and lutein. In total, you'll find 19g and 16g of fat per serving of ManaPowder and ManaDrink respectively.

A new source, not found in such high quality in any other nutritionally complete food, is coconut MCT C8 oil with pure (99%) caprylic acid triglycerides. Caprylic acid is broken down very quickly in the body into ketone bodies, which provide immediate energy to the muscles and brain without the subsequent feeling of fatigue. One serving of ManaPowder contains 0.4 g of MCT C8 oil and one serving of ManaDrink contains 0.33 g.

Omega-3 and omega-6

Mana contains omega-6 linoleic acid (LA) and omega-3 alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), both of which are essential fatty acids. These come from a unique blend of algae oil, coconut oil, sunflower oil, canola oil, and flaxseed oil. Furthermore, because Mana contains omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids in a beneficial 2:1 ratio, the ALA it delivers can be converted by the body into other important omega-3 fatty acids, namely eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

Consumption of foods rich in EPA and DHA has been shown to have significant health benefits. Both of these fatty acids produce effective anti-inflammatory and protective substances, and contribute to the maintenance of proper heart function, while DHA contributes to proper brain function and healthy vision. ALA omega-3s help maintain normal blood cholesterol levels.

The composition of algae oil outmatches that of fish oil and is absolutely key to the achievement of nutritional complexity from exclusively plant sources. Moreover, unlike production of fish oil, production of microalgae oil does not kill animals. And since microalgae oil is produced under laboratory conditions, it contains no pollutants from the ocean.

Average amount of fat in 1 serving of ManaPowder: 19 g

 • saturated fat 2 g
 • monounsaturated fat 11.8 g
 • polyunsaturated fat 5.3 g
 • mega-3 fatty acids 1,5. g
        DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) 119 mg
        EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) 5 mg
        ALA (alpha-linolenic acid) 1350 mg

Average amount of fat in 1 serving of ManaDrink: 16 g

 • saturated fat 1.6 g
• monounsaturated fat 8.6 g
 • polyunsaturated fat 4.0 g
 • Omega-3 fatty acids 1.3 g
        DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) 91 mg
        EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) 3 mg
        ALA (alpha-linolenic acid) 1200 mg

The sources of carbohydrates in our Mark 8 recipe are oligosaccharides from corn, slow-absorbing saccharides from white sugar beets (isomaltulose), starches and other carbohydrates from oats, as well as carbohydrates and minority carbohydrates from soy, carrot fibre, pumpkin, peas, algae, and rice. Carbohydrates supply energy and, together with protein and fat, are essential for proper functioning of the human body. Above all, they are essential for brain and central nervous system function.

The main function of carbohydrates is to supply the body with energy. If energy is not supplied by this nutrient, the body must take it from other sources, first by breaking down fats, and then tissular proteins. Carbohydrates also serve as the building blocks for and help protect cells.

Starches, simple sugars, and even fibre are counted as carbohydrates. These are divided into monosaccharides, oligosaccharides, polysaccharides, and complex carbohydrates in accordance with the number of sugar units they have. To be clear, from a legislative point of view, sugar compounds (monosaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides composed of carbohydrates) are considered “carbohydrates.” The term “sugar” refers only to simple carbohydrates. Plant sources of carbohydrates include oligosaccharides from corn, carbohydrates from oats, soybeans, carrot fibre, pumpkin, peas, algae, and rice.

The sources of carbohydrates in ManaPowder and ManaDrink are as follows:

- Carbohydrates from corn - Maltodextrin . An excellent source of oligosaccharides, which supply our body with quickly usable energy. It is composed of starches from various plant sources, but the main ones are corn, rice, wheat and potatoes. Our products contain maltodextrin with a low dextrose equivalent DE-12, i.e. with low monosaccharide content.

- Palatinose, i.e. isomaltulose. This is a disaccharide whose structure is made up of fructose and glucose. It is produced biotechnologically using microorganisms from white sugar beet and its advantage is that it is absorbed slowly. In Mana, we use isomaltulose instead of sugar, which reduces the increase in blood glucose levels after its consumption. It also reduces the risk of heart disease and diabetes. It has a mild, sweet taste and a low glycemic index of 32.

- Complex carbohydrates from oat fibre. Oat fibre contains soluble and insoluble complex carbohydrates with significant beta-glucan content, which helps maintain normal blood cholesterol levels.

- Minor carbohydrates from soy, carrot fibre, pumpkin, peas, algae, and rice.

According to an original study we conducted in cooperation with Charles University and the Kralovske Vinohrady University Hospital in Prague, Czech Republic, ManaDrink can be considered a relatively low-carbohydrate food. The study also found that ManaDrink has a relatively low glycemic index (29) and insulin index (41), making it suitable for use by diabetics within a framework of complex dietary treatment. We believe the same is true of ManaPowder, given its nutritional composition is nearly identical to that of ManaDrink. Nevertheless, if you have diabetes, we recommend consulting with your doctor before using Mana. The results of the above study can be read here.

The pleasant and subtle sweetness of Mana is owing to sucralose, a sweetener. Although it is an artificial sweetener, sucralose is much safer and tastier than many natural sweeteners. And in combination with the other ingredients in Mana, it works perfectly. It is noncaloric and easily excreted from the body.

The newest Mana formula Mark 8 contains a total of 8 plant sources of fibre. In ManaPowder, these are: oat fibre with significant beta-glucan content, soluble chicory fibre (also known as inulin), carrot fibre, acacia gum, and fibre from pumpkin, peas, soy, and algae. The list is the same for ManaDrink, only it contains cellulose instead of acacia gum. Oat beta-glucans help maintain normal blood cholesterol levels, and inulin is considered an important prebiotic. In one serving of ManaPowder and ManaDrink, you'll find 7g and 4.4g of fibre to support good digestion and the function of friendly gut bacteria.

Fibre is an integral part of our diet and offers many health benefits. Soluble fibres, such as pectins and inulin, support the function and growth of friendly gut bacteria, strengthen the immune system, and aid digestion. Insoluble fibre, i.e. that which our bodies cannot absorb, such as cellulose and hemicellulose, aids the digestion of nutrients, regulates the absorption of fat, cleanses the intestines, and leaves us feeling satiated after eating.

For normal bowel function, the recommended daily intake of fiber is 25 g/day according to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). 5 servings of ManaPowder (a daily portion) delivers a total of 35 g of fibre, 20 g of which is soluble and 15 g of which is insoluble. 6 servings of ManaDrink (a daily portion) delivers a total of 26 g of fibre, 15 g of which is soluble and 11 g of which is insoluble.

The fibre in Mana also plays a role in keeping its glycemic index (GI) down. More info on GI can be found the the "Carbohydrates" section above.

New users of Mana may experience mild indigestion or bloating due to its high fibre and protein content. It should take no more than a few days for your body to adjust to this type of highly nutritious food.

Mana provides you with precise and balanced amounts of all the highest quality bioactive forms of 16 vitamins and 17 minerals, including vitamin B12 and the semi-essential nutrient choline (sometimes referred to as "vitamin B8"), which are often otherwise missing from plant foods. The latest Mark 8 formula is enhanced with yeast enriched with selenium in a bioactive form and a chelated form of chromium (called chormitic picolinate).

Selenium is contained in many enzymes with antioxidant properties, thus helping to maintain the body's defences. It also helps to regulate the production of thyroid hormones and selenium has been shown to contribute to normal spermatogenesis and the maintenance of normal hair and nails. One serving of ManaDrink or ManaPowder Mark 8 contains 12 µg of selenium from yeast in the form of L-selenomethionine. Selenium is a natural part of our raw materials from which Mana is made.

Chromium is one of the essential elements found in very low amounts in food. Sources of chromium in manna include oat and carrot fibre as well as vegetable protein. Chromium has been shown to contribute to normal macronutrient metabolism and to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels. By adding a chelated form of chromium to Mana Mark 8, we have ensured even better absorption. The new ManaDrink Mark 8 contains 8 µg of chromium per serving, providing 20% of the recommended daily intake.

Vitamins are biologically essential and active substances that the human body cannot synthesize by itself, and which therefore must be supplied through food. They function as biocatalysts and antioxidants, and play a role in the metabolism of protein, fat, and carbs, as well as the reabsorption of minerals. Every vitamin has an optimal intake for best body function.

Minerals are vital for proper function of the human body and, just like vitamins, must be consumed with food. They play a key role in metabolism, tissue construction, brain function, and muscle activity. Mana contains 17 essential minerals that your body needs for top performance. It also contains another 7 trace minerals, which occur naturally in its ingredients.

When combined with the other ingredients that make ManaPowder and ManaDrink a complete food, its essential vitamin and mineral content becomes a perfectly balanced multivitamin.

When taken together, the protein, carbs, and fat in Mana deliver a record 176 health benefits, in accordance with the scientific evaluations of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). The complete list of vitamins and minerals in Mana can be found below.

Detailed information about the function of vitamins and minerals in our body, and their exact amounts in Mana.

Approximately 99.5% of the ingredients in ManaPowder and ManaDrink are natural. The remaining ingredients are perfectly safe, certified, and have a long history of use in food.

Mana is developed by a team of food scientists and organic chemists led by organic chemist Marek Humpl, M.A., who has written a blog on the subject of synthetic substances.

Our staple flavour is the creamy, vanilla-oat flavour Origin, which we offer both as a powder and as a drink. Slightly oaty and subtle sweet, this was our first flavour, and is still our most popular. Some people compare it to lightly sweetened cake batter; others compare it to oatmeal. Though individual associations differ, there’s one thing we hear consistently: the taste gets better and better over time. Its "whitish" colour is a natural result of the ingredients we use.

For our other flavours, see www.drink-mana.com.

All of the foods we develop are and always will be free of GMOs and animal products. We think that plant foods are the way of the future, so animal products are an obvious no-go. And even if we wanted to use GMOs, which we don't, it would be very complicated due to the strict provisions contained in regulations No. 1829/2003 and 1830/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council.

Mana is developed by a team of food scientists, chemists, and biochemists in Prague, Czech Republic. Its composition is based studies conducted by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and the World Health Organization (WHO), 2 proprietary clinical studies, and experience in clinical medicine.

The 2 proprietary clinical studies concerned the glycemic and insulin indices of ManaDrink, and were conducted in cooperation with Charles University and the Kralovske Vinohrady University Hospital in Prague, Czech Republic. The studies found that ManaDrink has a relatively low glycemic index (29) and insulin index (41), making it suitable for use by diabetics within a framework of complex dietary treatment. We believe the same is true of ManaPowder, given its nutritional composition is nearly identical to that of ManaDrink.

Not only is the composition of our products backed by hard data from clinical studies, every ingredient we use is thoroughly tested in our own and state-certified labs. This helps us select only those ingredients that have high nutritional content relative to their ecological footprint.

Consumption of Mana, thanks to its wide spectrum of nutrients, including vitamins and minerals, brings 176 benefits to your body and brain according to the scientific evaluations of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).

The results of the studies can be found here.

A complete overview of the benefits of Mana, including links to all justifying EFSA scientific opinions, will be found here. Updated soon.

ManaBar is a bar on a whole new level. It is a nutritionally complete and functional bar high in protein, vitamins and minerals. Thanks to its perfectly balanced amount of micro- and macronutrients and a caloric value of 200 kcal, it serves as a complete snack. It is compact and lightweight, so it fits in your jacket pocket, gym bag, school backpack or handbag. It's ideal for anyone who wants to have great food on hand at all times. It also complements our portfolio perfectly and, like ManaPowder and ManaDrink, is 100% plant-based. The minimum shelf life of the bar is 12 months.

The nutritional information about ManaBar Origin can be found here.

This little bar is the perfect source of energy. The composition and nutrient distribution is thought out in detail. And it perfectly matches the needs of a varied diet. ManaBar is suitable for adults and children from the age of three.

One ManaBar contains an average of 10 g of protein* with a complete profile of essential amino acids from quality plant sources - oats, soy, sunflower and flax seeds. It is enriched with special types of amino acids taurine and L-carnitine. Each serving thus supports both digestion and fat metabolism. There are 9 g of vegetable oils in one bar, which are a rich source of essential fatty acids omega-3 and omega-6 and a source of phytonutrients and antioxidants (phytosterols, flavonoids, lignans and carotenoids), including tocopherols, i.e. vitamin E. These are rapeseed oil, sunflower and linseed fats and sunflower lecithin. It contains no palm fat.

In addition, one ManaBar gives you an average of 17 g* of complex carbohydrates from oats, corn, flax seeds and sunflower seeds. ManaBar is low in sugars. Instead of sugar in our bar, we use the naturally occurring sugar polyol maltitol, which is a low-calorie sweetener. Consuming ManaBar containing maltitol instead of other sugars leads - compared to foods containing sugar - to a reduction in the rise in blood glucose after consumption.

ManaBar is a source of fibre. Fibre supports the growth of good bacteria in your gut, which supports your physical and mental well-being. One ManaBar contains 6 g of fiber from oats, corn, soy, sunflower and flaxseed.

Our new ManaBar provides your body with 14 vitamins and 17 minerals from A to Z. You could say it is a multivitamin in an unconventional form. One 50 g bar will fortify the body with a full spectrum of B vitamins, including the valuable vitamin B12, which is often missing in plant foods. We've also added the semi-essential nutrient choline (sometimes referred to as vitamin B8) to the ManaBar formula. B vitamins help convert nutrients into energy, are important for proper development and functioning of the nervous system, improve memory, and help metabolize lipids and cholesterol. They also boost liver and eye health.

Also worth mentioning is the combination of vitamin D2 and D3, which are added to the latest recipe of Mana Mark 8 and are also contained in ManaBar. This combination supports the absorption and utilization of vitamin D in the body. Vitamin D plays an important role in the function of the immune system, contributing to the maintenance of normal bone health and muscle function.

Together with protein, fat and carbohydrates, ManaBar delivers a record 170 health benefits based on recommendations from the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). For a complete list of the vitamins, minerals and trace elements in ManaBar, see the Nutrition Facts label.

One 50 g ManaBar contains 200 kcal. Already one bar supplies the body with all macro- and micronutrients in a perfectly balanced ratio. It is designed as a nutritionally complete and healthy snack. It can be combined with a normal diet.

Based on the reference values of daily energy intake for an average adult (2,000 kcal), 2 to 3 bars can replace a full meal of 400 - 600 kcal. The total daily calorie intake should always be adapted to specific physical and body needs, e.g. height, weight, gender, age and physical activity.

ManaBar is high in protein, one bar gives you an average of 10g of protein from the highest quality plant sources. But it doesn't taste like a classic protein bar. It's crunchy and doesn't have an artificial taste like some protein bars do.

ManaBar comes in four divine flavours - Origin (a smooth, vanilla-oat flavour), Choco (our chocolate flavour with an extra portion of premium cocoa), Lime Cake (a dessert flavour of lime cheesecake) and Berries (a symphony of wild berries). Infused blackcurrant and blueberry concentrate give ManaBar Berries a fresh fruity taste and an extra serving of antioxidants, mainly called anthocyanins. Anthocyanins effectively protect against cell damage, premature aging and skin damage, the development of disease and support eye health.
