Mannatech Holds Annual Conference

Press Release | 3/10/2015

The company’s annual event was a source of information and inspiration for attendees, product enthusiasts, distributors and independent sales Associates for Mannatech. Many of those who attended are entrepreneurs who operate their own businesses in communities around the world. They heard from the event’s featured speaker, Paul Zane Pilzer, an economist, social entrepreneur and author of nine best-selling books including, The New Wellness Revolution. Pilzer shared his insights about how the global economy is moving from health care to wellness and what individuals can do to foster this shift.

“MannaFest 2015 was an important conference where we shared our vision of how we all can be part of a wellness revolution that is changing our global economy,” said Dr. Robert Sinnott, Mannatech’s CEO and Chief Science Officer. “Mannatech is at the forefront of wellness technology around the globe, and this conference allowed us to empower our Associates to return to their communities and help improve lives through greater wellness.”

Mannatech has firmly positioned itself as a worldwide leader in wellness through unique, patented wellness technology that has been clinically tested and quality assured. Recently the company received its 100th patent, an unusual feat for a company in the nutritional supplement industry. These patents help protect Mannatech’s formulations from infringers and ensure that its customers receive high value, quality products that can only be sold by Mannatech Associates.

Mannatech has demonstrated the soundness of its nutritional technology through its aggressive patent program and through clinical human trials. A number of Mannatech’s broad portfolio of patented technology has been validated by research conducted by independent scientists and published in peer-reviewed scientific journals. Currently, 17 human clinical trials have been published, 13 of which were double-blind, placebo-controlled studies — the gold standard for product validation.

To ensure its customers receive products that deliver on their promise, Mannatech has set the standard with its industry-leading quality assurance program that complies with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s current Good Manufacturing Practices for dietary supplements, which impact all aspects of product development, manufacturing, evaluation, storage and distribution. Many of Mannatech’s core products also undergo third-party certification by NSF International, which ensures Mannatech’s products contain the ingredients as designed, confirms accurate labeling and enforces purity standards.

Additionally, Mannatech’s corporate giving program, the M5M℠ movement, provided more than 20 million servings of PhytoBlendTM powder to children in need around the world. These servings were generated by purchases placed by Mannatech customers and Associates in 2014.

“To change the world you cannot cut corners,” said Dr. Sinnott. “Our Associates are dedicated to improving the wellness of their families and friends in their communities, and Mannatech is committed to providing the highest-quality, science-validated products that deliver on our promise to improve people’s lives. We take great pride in knowing that Mannatech helps generate economic growth around the world through small business creation, and that each transaction conducted helps provide nutrition to a child in need.”

Mannatech Program Fights Childhood Malnutrition

Press Release | 2/18/2015

“Our commitment to the M5M movement expanded significantly in 2014”

The Mission 5 Million movement focuses on the fight against global childhood malnutrition and represents Mannatech’s commitment to link five million consumers of its Real Food Technology supplementation with five million children in need. Mannatech uses a social entrepreneurial business model that allows anyone to participate in the movement. Donations generated through Mannatech's M5M movement are triggered directly from individual customer orders. When someone orders nutritional products for themselves, they are also helping fight global malnutrition.

Based on Real Food Technology solutions, Mannatech’s PhytoBlend powder is designed to help in the fight against global malnutrition by providing children in need with valuable, supplemental nutrition that mixes easily into the foods they’re already eating. PhytoBlend powder contains nutrients from plants and other natural sources, allowing children to receive standardized and nutritionally beneficial amounts of vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients in a natural form unique to the industry.

In November 2014, Mannatech announced the January launch of the M5M Foundation, an independent non-profit organization that will now assume responsibility as Mannatech’s main distributor of PhytoBlend powder to orphanages and relief organizations.

“Our commitment to the M5M movement expanded significantly in 2014,” explained Dr. Robert Sinnott, Mannatech CEO and Chief Science Officer. “We took trips to Guatemala and South Africa to see the many faces of children we support. We also launched the M5M China Run in August, where ultra-endurance athlete Jason Lester ran the Great Wall of China in less than 100 days to raise awareness of malnutrition. And to finish the year, we helped launch the M5M Foundation† to guarantee we can make an even bigger impact in 2015. I’m confident that together we will see our vision become a reality to link five million consumers of our products with five million children in need.”

†The M5M Foundation is an independent non-profit organization.

Press Release | 7/31/2013

Net sales for North America declined 6.6% to $21.3 million as compared to $22.8 million in the second quarter of 2012. This decline in revenue was primarily due to a decrease in the revenue generated per active associate and member.

Net sales for Asia/Pacific increased 17.1% to $19.9 million as compared to $17.0 million in the second quarter 2012 due to an increase in the number of active associates. This increase in revenue was due to an increase in the number of active associates and members and an increase in the revenue generated per active associate and member.

Net sales for Europe, the Middle East and Africa ("EMEA") declined 5.2% to $3.6 million as compared to $3.8 million in the second quarter of 2012. This decline was due to the unfavorable impact on net sales of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

The number of new independent associates and members for the second quarter of 2013 was approximately 36,200, as compared to 27,600 in 2012.

Mannatech Independent Associates Step Up to Nourish One Thousand Children

Press Release | 1/24/2013

Through the Founder's Challenge, Mannatech celebrated its heritage of giving. The initiative served to help fulfill the dream of Sam Caster, Mannatech's Founder, of impacting the global issues of malnutrition and changing the lives of millions of children in desperate need of hope and health. Associates' one simple act of giving changed the lives of a thousand children for an entire year. Participation was easy and the impact was far-reaching. Overall, 1,000 kits were purchased and 1,000 children were nourished.

The program behind the Founder's Challenge and company mission, Give for Real(SM), began in 2009. Give for Real is Mannatech's Donation Through Consumption program that helps nourish children in need around the world. As of November 2012, 9,377,168 servings have been distributed worldwide and 31,538 children helped. Give for Real supports Mannatech's initiative of Social Entrepreneurship, a forward-thinking business paradigm of solving the world's biggest problems like global malnutrition.

The Founder's Challenge brought to life Mannatech's new mission and vision statements.

Our mission is to fight global malnutrition by nourishing the world with Real Food Technology supplementation while empowering and rewarding the lives of those who champion our cause.

Our vision is to impact the global epidemic of childhood malnutrition by linking five million consumers of Real Food Technology supplementation with five million children in need.

Associates purchased a Founder's Challenge Kit of PhytoBlend(TM) powder for $100 that provided nourishment for a child in need for six months. Mannatech matched that purchase with another six months of PhytoBlend powder. It was then donated directly to MannaRelief who then distributed it where the needs are strongest. Founded in 1999 by Sam and Linda Caster, MannaRelief is a nonprofit organization providing proper nutritional support to undernourished children around the world. +

"The Founder's Challenge is a shining example of how we came together not only as a company, but as champions of our cause--people who are deeply dedicated to world change by fighting global malnutrition. The outpouring of support from Associates signifies the depth of our purpose and dedication to our most precious resource--our children. " -- Dr. Rob Sinnott, Mannatech CEO

Through Mannatech's Give for Real(SM) program, Associates consume the nutritional products they need, and Mannatech helps a child in need. Our goal is to link millions of consumers to millions of at-risk children around the globe. The concept of "Donation through Consumption" means that as our consumer business grows, so does our giving. It's not just a company vision, it's a partnership with like-minded individuals--social entrepreneurs--interested in making a change for themselves and for others.

+MannaRelief is an independent, nonprofit organization. It is not owned or operated by Mannatech, incorporated.

Review of Effects of Mannatech Polysaccharide Complex is Published

Press Release | 3/28/2012

COPPELL, Texas, Mar 27, 2012 -- Mannatech, Incorporated, the leading innovator and provider of nutritional supplements based on Real Food Technology® solutions, recently announced the publication of a comprehensive literature review reporting the effects of polysaccharides on brain function. Dr. Erika Nelson, a neuroscientist, and her colleagues reviewed controlled studies assessing various roles of exogenous saccharide compounds and polysaccharide-rich extracts on brain function, with a significant focus on benefits derived from oral intake. Her review includes a discussion of five randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials that indicate that Ambrotose® complex, a Mannatech product, positively impacts well-being, memory, cognitive function and mood in healthy adults.* Numerous preclinical studies were also identified that indicate various polysaccharides can modify behavior, enhance synaptic plasticity and provide neuroprotective effects.

Today, we are once again pleased to offer an important consolidation of the literature investigating the impact of oral polysaccharides on brain health and function. This literature review both clarifies the current state of the science in this area and suggests appropriate avenues for future research that will help us better understand the benefits of these important compounds.”

Dr. Nelson earned her BS in Genetics from the University of Kansas in Lawrence and went on to obtain her PhD in Neuroscience at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. She has published a number of papers on neurodevelopmental disorders and brain epigenetics. A candidate for a Masters of Business Administration at the University of Texas at Dallas, Dr. Nelson is also a consultant for Mannatech.

The study, conducted by Dr. Talitha Best and colleagues in Australia, was published in the peer-reviewed journal Applied Research in Quality of Life.

"Dr. Best has been committed to investigating the impact of plant saccharides, including Mannatech's Ambrotose complex, on brain function for more than six years," said Dr. Robert Sinnott, co-CEO and chief science officer of Mannatech. "In this blinded study, healthy adults taking Ambrotose complex powder perceived numerous quality-of-life benefits, including some that have been confirmed by formal cognitive testing (1)+,(2)+*. Because our preclinical research suggests the product also provides gastrointestinal benefits, we were pleased that gastrointestinal effects were among the perceived benefits reported by individuals who consumed Ambrotose complex."

The Australian government recently awarded Dr. Best a 12-month Researchers in Business (RiB) grant to help develop research on Mannatech's glyconutritional products and to promote Australian research innovation. The $10 million RiB program is part of Enterprise Connect, an initiative within the Australian government's Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research. The program is designed to accelerate industry innovation and competitiveness by connecting university and public agency researchers with businesses that wish to develop new ideas with commercial potential.

Dr. Best, who conducted the study with Associate Professor Eva Kemps, Flinders University, and Dr. Janet Bryan, University of South Australia (UniSA), is a post-doctoral research fellow at the Nutritional Physiology Research Centre, UNiSA, and the Brain Sciences Institute, Swinburne University of Technology.

Mannatech Press Release

Press Release | 4/21/2010

“This study provides important information about the activities of these products in the human GI tract.” .The study, conducted at a top European research institute in Belgium, investigated the effects of Ambrotose complex and Advanced Ambrotose powder on the structure, composition and metabolism of the human GI tract using state-of-the-art human GI tract simulations and sophisticated microbiological analyses.

Its findings determined both Ambrotose complex and Advanced Ambrotose powder exhibited good selective fermentability throughout the entire colon, positive and selective bifidogenic effects and also demonstrated the possibility of enhancing species belonging to Bacteroidetes.

“We have been interested in the effects of Ambrotose products on GI health–a very hot area of scientific research–for many years,” said Mannatech’s Co-CEO and Chief Science Officer, Robert A. Sinnott, MNS, Ph.D. “A preliminary study published in 2007 showed that these products function as prebiotics, but the human gut is incredibly complex and difficult to study. To learn more, we chose to rely on the expertise of researchers on the forefront of human GI research. The work done by Dr. Marzorati and his team suggests that Ambrotose products support GI health throughout the entire colon; most prebiotics are thought to only exert such effects in the first portion of the colon.”

The study’s findings were published in the peer‐reviewed International Journal of Food Microbiology and indexed on PubMed by Drs. Massimo Marzorati and Sam Possemiers (U. of Ghent and ProDigest), A. Verhelst (ProDigest), Profs. Willy Verstraete and T. Van de Wiele (U. of Ghent) and Drs. Robert Sinnott and Gabriela Luta (Mannatech, Incorporated).1 “We are intensely interested in employing state-of-the-art technology to explore the effects of our Ambrotose products,” said Sinnott. “This study provides important information about the activities of these products in the human GI tract.”

Currently, Mannatech holds more than 45 patents in 30 countries for the technology related to Ambrotose complex.

In addition, many of Mannatech’s products are based on Real Food TechnologySM solutions, which provide consumers with products that contain standardized levels of natural and plant-sourced nutrients. Food-sourced ingredients are chosen from those scientifically proven to most benefit the human body. Mannatech offers the best alternative to synthetic vitamin and mineral products and so-called “super-juice” products.

Mannatech Recognized for Research

Earthtimes | 2/4/2007

COPPELL, Texas, Jan. 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Global wellness provider Mannatech, Incorporated , has received a first-place award for research indicating bacteria from the human digestive tract can break down complex carbohydrates in the company's glyconutritional supplements.

Home to nearly two-thirds of the body's immune system, the digestive tract is a biological ecosystem that is still an enigma to medical science. While it is recognized that some plant-based carbohydrates are among the best-known immune system regulators, science knows little about whether the gastrointestinal (GI) tract can assimilate some of these complex substances or, once metabolized, how these substances might exert their immune-modulating effects.

Mannatech's research showed that GI bacteria, indeed, are capable of breaking down these complex carbohydrates. Further research may lead to a better understanding of how complex carbohydrates, once metabolized by the body, can support the immune system.

News Target | 10/1/2006

Mannatech, Incorporated (Nasdaq: MTEX), announced today it plans to introduce PhytoMatrix, the nutrition industry's first supplement containing fully standardized and completely plant-based vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals.

Modern farming practices have dramatically compromised the nutritional value of many fruits and vegetables. And while experts agree that supplementation can provide the body with these missing nutrients, many supplements contain synthetic, chemically derived, mined or chelated minerals and vitamins that studies show are not readily absorbed or used by the body.

Scheduled for sale beginning during the fourth quarter, PhytoMatrix will not contain any synthetic or chemically derived active ingredients. Instead, it will contain vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals that have been absorbed by a plant's roots and stored in its tissue. When harvested, these plants provide all-natural ingredients.
