Press release

Exhibit 99.1

MANNATECH, INC. REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2007 EPS INCREASE OF 18.2%, NET SALES UP 5.9%

Coppell, TX May 4, 2007 - - Mannatech, Inc. (NASDAQ – MTEX) today reported record first quarter earnings of $0.26 cents per diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2007, up 18.2% from the first quarter, 2006, earnings per diluted share of $0.22. Net income for the first quarter, 2007, reached $6.9 million, an increase of 16.6% compared to $5.9 million in the first quarter of 2006. Pretax profit was $10.4 million, an increase of 12.0% compared to $9.3 million in the same period last year.

First quarter net sales for 2007 were $104.8 million, an increase of 5.9% compared to $99.0 million in the first quarter of 2006. Sales growth for the quarter was slightly impacted by the transition to the new ERP system at the end of March.

Total independent Associate and Member count based on a 12 month trailing period increased to 553,000 for the first quarter 2007 as compared to 510,000 for the first quarter of 2006. The 8.4% growth resulted from higher retention of continuing independent Associates and Members which were up 73,000, a 25.9% increase compared to the same period last year. This increase was partially offset by a 13.2% decline in new independent Associates and Members on a 12 month trailing basis.

Sam Caster, Chairman of the Board and CEO said, “We are highly encouraged with our progress at the start of the year. The sales momentum that began in late 2006 continued in the first quarter and we were able to deliver solid sales and earnings while transitioning to our new ERP system.”

Mr. Caster continued, “A number of important initiatives continued to energize our independent Associates in the first quarter of 2007, among them: the launch of our Optimal Skin Care System in the U.S. and Canada; increasing Associate awareness of the benefits of Phytomatrix’s all natural vitamin formula; the kick off of our annual travel incentive in January; and record attendance at MannaFest, our annual international corporate-sponsored convention for our independent Associates.”
