Mannatech develops its products by combining science with real food and plant-sourced ingredients.

Products creating wellness from the inside and out

While the study of glycobiology has attracted criticism and was considered irrelevant

back in 1996, today it is revered as the next frontier in science. Scientific journals like the National Academy of Sciences in the US have recognised its intrinsic value, voicing a call for further progress in the field which, considering the scepticism it first elicited, is progress well made.

But perhaps a bigger testament to the science is the spotlight which the beauty industry has capitalised on. One well-known global cosmetics brand that has permeated both fashion houses and households throughout the world recently stated that glycobiology is the science foundation of its latest

skincare release. Mannatech is the global pioneer in nutritional glycobiology with the only world-wide patents on extracting glyconutrients in their natural form in the development of their nutritional and skincare product portfolios.

Alongside its range of Real Food TechnologySM supplementation, Mannatech is releasing a new skincare product that is anticipated to reach Australian shores in early 2014.

th Advanced Skin Matrix Rejuvenation Crème contains naturally sourced glycans to support cell rejuvenation from the outside.

What are some examples of the real food sources thatMannatech uses?

Mannatech’s Omega 3 product is sourced from the highest quality fish. Antioxidants in our

Ambrotose AO® product are sourced from acerola cherry and Australian bush plum. Vitamins and minerals in PhytoMatrix® caplets and PhytoBurst® nutritional chews are provided in a whole food and plant-based matrix and contain real fruit and vegetable sources including cranberry juice and grape skin extract. Mannatech’s real food and plant-based supplements are recognised as food by our bodies and are therefore more easily absorbed than something synthetically made.

Mannatech is also a pioneer in glycobiology, the science at the very heart of its Ambrotose® products. In 1996 Mannatech’s first chief science officer, Bill McAnalley PhD, made the discovery of a new category of plant-based nutrients called glyconutrients.

These complex sugar structures extracted from the aloe vera plant surround almost every cell in the body and are essential for controlling their interaction and regeneration.

From this research, Mannatech created a class of products containing a completely natural glyconutrient formulation which puts these complex sugars essential for cellular communication back into our bodies, targeting our wellness at the most basic level and assisting our immune system function. Mannatech currently holds more than 90 patents world-wide related to our naturally-sourced glyconutrient formulations, responsible for the most nutrient-dense, natural supplementation.

Simply put, we use science to capture nutrition from nature, not ‘create’ it.

Manapol® – A patented formulation without a footprint

supporter’s feature

Mannatech is the innovator of high-quality nutritional supplementation containing real food and plant-sourced ingredients stemming from twenty years of scientific research underpinned by a commitment to its consumers.

With so many supplements and vitamins on the market, it’s easy to think that great nutrition is just an arm’s reach away. But not many of us know that it is estimated that more than 90% of vitamins and mineral supplements

sitting on our pharmacy shelves are made from ingredients derived from neither real food nor plants (source: www.organicconsumers.org).

Senior wellness director at Mannatech, Steve Nugent, says that although we virtually have instant access to food everywhere we turn, the concept of a 21st Century nutrition crisis is not a new one. “Today’s commercial farming practices, pesticides, chemicals and preservatives found in the food we eat, combined with hectic lifestyles which see us grabbing takeaway and fast food for the time-deprived, all contribute to poor nutrition,” says Steve.

Manapol® is Mannatech’s glyconutrient formulation containing the complex sugar structures similarly found to surround almost every cell in our body to facilitate their communication and regeneration. By adding this formula to our diets we are supporting the communication between our cells. Manapol® is extracted from aloe vera gel through a patented process and is a key ingredient in Mannatech’s Ambrotose® range of products. The production process of Manapol® has a zero carbon footprint. There is no damage done to the environment and Mannatech preserves the rainforest on the land used for its production in Costa Rica, where its manufacturing plant is based.

Manapol® is a key ingredient in Mannatech’s Ambrotose® range of products.

U th contains natural ingredients including sunflower, jojoba and grape seed oils, aloe leaf juice powder, crocus flower and artichoke, and glycans which

provide support to your skin’s natural production of collagen and elastin.

New research in the field of glycobiology has shown why our skin loses youthfulness as we get older, and how to spark its natural ability to strengthen in ways that leads to the suppleness and glow associated with younger looking skin. As we age the production of glycans and structural proteins around our cells which nourish, protect and

strengthen the skin, and support the regeneration of skin cells declines, resulting in deep depressions in the skin matrix that can lead to the formation of lines. th delivers the only non-synthetic, plant- sourced glycans, shown to increase the production of proteins, combined with a blend of plant-based ingredients deep into to the layers of the skin.

This composition provides support to the skin’s natural production of collagen and elastin and the results can be profound.
