The Story Behind Wellamar

In the dynamic world of health and wellness, the pursuit of the next beneficial ingredient can often take us down well-trodden paths. However, at times, the most potent solutions can be hidden in plain sight. Wellamar founder, Mark Sibilia, describes his own personal journey that drew him to Amaranth and start a new venture dedicated to promoting this incredible plant.

A Chance Meeting:

As a 70-year-old sports enthusiast, I'm no stranger to the aches and challenges that life's adventures have gifted me with, notably painful joints and a battle with maintaining a healthy weight. The game-changer, however, presented itself in the form of a chance encounter with a resilient 75-year-old doctor originally from the Ukraine, but living in Toronto, Canada. This man had stared down the barrel of a stage 4 cancer diagnosis and emerged victorious, a feat he attributed not to conventional treatments, but to the powerful properties of a self-presribed natural remedy - Amaranth grains and oils.

At first, it seemed like an extraordinary claim. But the evidence was there, etched into his very being. Within a year, he had transformed from a terminal cancer patient to a picture of vitality and health, complete with an enviably vibrant complexion. Witnessing his journey sparked a curiosity within me, a drive to understand this powerful force that had turned his life around. The world of Amaranth was calling to me, and I was ready to answer.

My Personal Transformation

Having been profoundly touched by this transformative encounter, and freshly stepping into my seventh decade, I felt an urge to embark on my own journey with pure amaranth oil. So, I integrated it into my everyday routine.

Remarkably, in merely three months, I was beginning to feel revitalized. The gnawing joint and muscle pain that had been my unwelcome morning companion started to retreat. There was a newfound vitality within me, noticeable even during physically demanding activities. Whether it was an intense tennis match or an adventurous skiing trip, I found myself bouncing back faster than ever. The incorporation of amaranth oil seemed to have unlocked a latent energy in me, rejuvenating my body, spirit, and resilience.

Unexpected Benefits:

Yet, what caught me completely off guard was an unexpected weight loss. A die-hard foodie and a confessed sweet tooth, I found myself shedding a significant 23 pounds over a mere six months, all the while effortlessly maintaining this new weight. Fascinated by these radical shifts, I sought the expertise of Dr. Sokol, a renowned cardiologist based in New York. He enlightened me on how the anti-inflammatory properties of Amaranth oil could have been a pivotal factor in fueling these remarkable transformations.

Scientific Validation

In a quest to validate these experiences and delve deeper into the science behind them, my dedicated marketing team embarked on an in-depth research journey. In this process, we stumbled upon the work of Professor Rob Myers from the University of Missouri, a highly respected figure who has spent three decades researching the wonders of the amaranth plant. His findings, meticulously compiled in a profound book, struck a chord with me. A particular revelation that caught my attention was how both the Mayan and Aztec civilizations revered amaranth as "The food of immortality", having incorporated it into their healing practices and sacred rituals for over 5,000 years.

Forging Connections

In my quest to uncover more about the enigmatic world of Amaranth, I reached out to Dr. Myers, who graciously put us in touch with fellow Amaranth researchers.

One such connection was with the esteemed Professor Svetlana Mykolenko, a Senior Researcher at the prestigious ETH Zurich Institute. She has channeled her efforts into unraveling the hidden treasures of Amaranth and pioneering the creation of innovative amaranth-infused foods.

The trail of knowledge led us to Olexandr Duda, President of The Amaranth Association in Ukraine. He stands at the helm of a lab that specializes in concocting a myriad of Amaranth-centric products, and passionately views Amaranth as a "magical gift to the world."

The Birth of Wellamar

Fueled by my personal experiences and supported by compelling research, I decided to channel my passion into the creation of Wellamar. As a seasoned marketer, I recognized the immense potential of amaranth and the positive impact it could have on people's lives. With the support of an investor who shared my vision, we have recently launched Wellamar as a groundbreaking startup, dedicated to promoting amaranth products and fostering a lifestyle of holistic well-being.
