Delicious. Time-saving. Balanced food.

New less salty taste

On the basis of customer reviews,we modified the salinity  of MANA, by changing quantity and ratio of the ingredients that are responsible for salty taste. So we decreased the amount of potassium chloride and sodium chloride. These salts are forms of sodium and potassium, supplied in excess to the amount of natural content of sodium and potassium in ingredients Total quantity of sodium is unchanged, remainder we replace by sodium carbonate,which in addition balances the pH.

New fiber ratio

We decided to adjust the ratio of soluble and insoluble fiber, and also to its source. From our tests, the best version is the presented version which contains much more oat fiber. Now the MANA is more thick and ensure stronger feeling of fullness.

Our Nutrition Manifesto.

Our team is on continuous track of searching for better and more efficient sources of nutrients. To accomplish the new formula [MARK 3], we have newly tested 75 ingredients from various vendors to reach complete nutrition profile and find exactly what we were looking for to match the puzzle. Our team consists of organic chemist driven by passion for deep level of laboratory testing. It is our edge-difference-approach in designing the most advanced food on the planet Earth.

For various reasons, we believe that genetically modified organisms has not reach a sufficient technology or theoretical and practical understanding level. Therefore we think that the empirical understanding of natural resources through the prism of chemistry is the way to go. That is why we say that MANA is food designed in the laboratory.

New Delicious Taste & Outstanding Texture.

Thanks to your feedback, we were working day and night to improve the old version and move it to a totally new level. Taste of the brand new version is less sweet, more salty and milder. Creamy texture was achieved by reducing the size of the biggest particles to 60 mesh (0.25 mm), the previous version contained bigger particles of dietary fiber and wholegrain oats. Overall, we have slightly changed the nutrition ratio by reducing the amount of the carbohydrates from 243g to 173g and vice versa reached the complexity. Besides that, we have increased the amount of healthy fat from 70g to 100g, with amount of 101g of protein per day. The difference in the nutrition ratio is outstanding and better than ever before.

New Carbohydrates.

[MARK 3] includes a diverse mix of carbohydrates to meet balanced complexity. Oat flour in previous version had been replaced by oat fiber, which is perfectly balanced source of soluble and insoluble dietary fiber. New MANA now contains 11g of soluble (beta–glucans) and 10g of insoluble dietary fiber per day. We have also included the isomaltulose as a disaccharide, which is made from beet sugar, therefore MANA now provides more slowly and gradual release of carbohydrates with a significantly lower glycemic index. In addition, it is the first non-cariogenic carbohydrate that is kind to your teeth.

New Lipids. (Oil Blend)

Changes regarding the oil ingredients helped us to soften the texture. We have significantly increased quantity of the Algae oil to 2.75g per day to get 100% of daily need of DHA (910 mg) and EPA (500 mg), which are the most valuable omega-3 fatty acids. Moreover, we involved virgin cold-pressed coconut oil, which brings natural pleasant aroma and healthy saturated fat containing medium-chain fatty acids. Not only these are rare in the vegetable oils, but also important to make the oils complex in nutrition.

New Measuring Scoop

No more pouring powder around the bottle. We have also worked hard to improve the measuring scoop. Finally we found simple solution to a problem with dosing. We moved handrail of scoop more into middle of the cup so powder goes more easily into the bottle. Problem solved.

Manufacturing of SuperMANA got delayed, that is why we are postponing the release to third quarter of 2016.

Why delay ?

We fetched the first delay at the moment of negotiations on the design of the bottle. The result was that the price would be astronomical regarding to production costs (a special new production line would cost approx. 3,5 million  EUR). Therefore we need to use the best current production bottle design to suit our requirements (Shelf life-1year without necessity of cooling). That is highest priority. 

We started to search through Europe intensively, and at this moment we contacted two processors with which we already implemented testing of the final product on their production lines. Time is the most important thing for the verifying the correctness of this phase. Due to extreme requirements that we have and which must be implemented, we have to wait for lab results over the past few months after the testing. This is the delay number two.

Function-before-form.

Custom bottle design is something that we consider essential, but it does not make a sense to postpone such a great product just because it is not possible to produce the packaging according to our ideas at the moment. We can do that later - just as the first MANA were made to Ikea bags, the drink can also (and will) go through its own evolution. The final design will be known at the beginning of April 2016.

When will be drink ready?

At the moment we have optimistic estimation for release in third quarter of 2016. Moreover we must wait for some spare production capacity. However, due to the fact that we are embarking on the market with a very unique product, we are going through the so-called "pioneering" - the occasional exploring new areas that are not unique only for us. With a great effort, we are trying to make the drink ready as soon as possible. Although the release date seems to be too far, for us it is almost „around the corner“, time is passing really fast and we are doing our best.

We are ready to communicate with you, and in the case that you do not want to wait for a drink, we will be glad to convert your pre-order into improved version of the powdered MANA [MARK 2 v2], so you will be able to make your own drink.

Thank you for your support. Jacob

Finally :) We are very pleased to launch real-time customer support. It took us a while but it's online, the wait is over!

Customer line +420 230 234 312

Today we launched a customer service line, where it is possible to reach our amazing Eve, which will be responsible for all your questions. Eva also answer questions in a live chat, if the line is busy ask for patience and forbearance :)

Live chat (link here)

Live help with the purchase or your questions about MANA we launched some time ago, but as of today will steadily live support from 9AM to 5PM. In the future, we would like to extend support for the entire day.

Eva is behind the Customer Support. Here is her bio.

Eva is educated in field management and economics. She studied at university in Zlin, moreover she has experience with studies abroad. Since she has previously worked in a similar position, she is ready to answer any question.

As a vegan, she appreciates the most that MANA is nutritionally balanced. Eva enjoys cooking with MANA, as well as she likes inventing a new recipes. She wants to inspire people with the recipes and proove, that MANA is a full meal, not only some milkshake.

MANA team is constantly improving the texture and taste without compromising on nutritional values, which is our priority number one. We are introducing improved and also the most advanced version we have made so far. Shipping from today on mymana.eu.

Improved smoother texture

Previous versions contained larger particles of whole grain oats that some of our users and community members pointed out as a problem to be solved.

We have managed to make the particles smaller by cold milling technology, we waited for custom-made machine that will be able to efficiently cooling the grinding chamber with cold water. Why cooling the process? Because if temperature of milling exceed certain temperature point, then lipids and (proteins) turning bitter. There is no change in nutritional values only in texture which leads to better user experience.

Update on shipping during Christmas time

At the moment are all orders shipped within 48 hours. Christmas time is coming and our supplies are starting moving quickly. If you are thinking about MANA as a gift for you close ones we recommend to order before 17th of December.

We are very happy that changes lead to better experience of consuming MANA.

The very first big update of MANA iOS application. We just intergraded “Health” application from Apple and “One Click Payment” (simple payment option) with our own app. (Download here)

My Mana app integration with the official Apple app “Health”

You will appreciate this new upgrade if you like to track every single element from your Mana consumption. Health app is easily accessible from every iPhone desktop. Simply input how big of a portion of Mana you just consumed and send the data to Health app. Once you open it, you can see detailed analysis of your every MANA consumption. It tracks everything from protein, carbohydrates, fats, fibers, vitamins, minerals, and much more. Settings can be easily adjusted during your first use. We went even further and downloaded all of our complete laboratory analysis to ensure you track every single component in an easy-to-read graphic form. We are in ongoing effort to make this integration “crispy clean”, so our friends from Quantum Labs (by the way, they are MANA lovers themselves) would love all your feedback to make this into a perfect, helpful app for you. Just write your feedback right into Apple “Reviews” or straight to us at [email protected]. Thanks for all your support.

Last week we had an unexpected visit from CAFIA - Czech Agriculture and Food Inspection Authority.

The reason was an anonymous request for verification of the accuracy of our facility operations. We are very glad for the visit because it was officially confirmed that our company meets strict food standard HACCP .If you would like additional information or you request an official statement from CAFIA (Czech Agriculture and Food Inspection Authority), please contact their office.

About CAFIA and HACCP standards

CAFIA is a state administration body subordinate to the Ministry of Agriculture. It is a state authority responsible for supervision of safety, quality and labelling of foodstuffs.

HACCP. Hazard analysis and critical control points or HACCP is a systematic preventive approach to food safety from biological, chemical, and physical hazards in production processes that can cause the finished product to be unsafe, and designs measurements to reduce these risks to a safe level. In this manner, HACCP is referred as the prevention of hazards rather than finished product inspection. The HACCP system can be used at all stages of a food chain, from food production and preparation processes including packaging, distribution, etc. Official statement here:

We are delighted to announce our first big product update. Here is what's going on.

No animal products

The main difference of MANA version MARK2 from MARK1 is the absence of animal based products (fish oil). At the same time, specific nutrients typically missing in vegetarian diet are added in natural form when possible to provide nutritionally complete food (proteins, vitamins A, B12, B6, D, omega-3 fatty acids, iron, zinc and iodine). All of these substances are present in MANA in quantity, which is needed by the body, according to EFSA/FDA studies.

Sea & Fresh Water Algae

Fresh water chlorella powder and sea water chlorella oil are now the natural sources in MANA of many phytonutrients, minerals - such as iodine, zinc and omega-3-fatty acids, magnesium, vitamin K1, beta carotene among others. 

Advanced OiL Blend

Oil blend is innovated and now consists of balanced mixture of canola, sunflower, algae and flaxseed oils with vitamin A and E to match the optimal daily intake quantity.

Lab analysis revealed

We created a complete new web presentation where you can see attached our laboratory chemical/microbiological analyses of our ingredients, from which we compose MANA [MARK II]. Everyone from now on can easily verify on expert level the quality of whole product at a front page. Its is very unusual step we do but we believe that by releasing our lab analyses to public we make MANA even more transparent. We believe that this is what its all about.

Phytonutrients

Plant foods contain thousands of natural chemicals. These are called phytonutrients or phytochemicals. MANA has inherent content of wide range of phytonutrients, including phytosterols, flavonoids, provitamines, chlorophyl and lutein. You can check results in attached lab reports here.

Amino acids in MANA

We finaly finished also amino acids of ingredients which supply MANA with proteins - soy and oat. Results are great, please check details at web presentation here.

We are delighted to announce a new release of MANA called [ MARK 1 ]. Major improvements in taste and texture. Shipping from now on!

Neutral taste & Mild texture.

By dramatically decreasing a level of Sucralose we managed that new version [ MARK 1 ] formula is characterized by our beta-community as mild neutral taste which is very easy to hack with your favorite salty or sweet ingredient to boost it up to the skyes. Balance between salty and sweet is now on the very edge of perfect balance.

Texture & emulsification capability.

We also improved the ratio of emulsification capability. If you want,  you can mix up to 1005 Kcal (half a pouch) per one MANA 1L bottle and still get a nice creamy texture. That is a huge improvement from previous version. We still leave up to your preferences if you follow our recommendation or you will create your own powder/water ratio.

By marking a new formula update [ MARK 1 ] all our next formula updates will follow same numerical sequence.

Thank you for your support!

We are officially releasing our limited beta program called X-MANA. The program is only for powdered food enthusiasts from various countries around the world.
