Mannatech Harnesses the Ancient Power of Aloe Vera in Its Nutritional Supplements

GUANGZHOU, China--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar. 20, 2017-- Mannatech®, Incorporated (NASDAQ: MTEX), a global health and wellness company committed to transforming lives to make a better world, is providing its China cross-border e-commerce customers with some of the best products available that harness the ancient, healthful properties of the aloe vera plant. In fact, Mannatech’s aloe vera-based products include some of the purest forms of ingredients derived from aloe vera, with benefits that have been supported by clinical testing, something most other supplement providers cannot claim.

This is just one of a number of advantages that Mannatech provides its customers compared to almost all of its competitors, which helps to ensure that the wellness promises made are real and substantiated. Of course, the effect that clinically proven wellness technology has on an individual’s health can make a major difference, because without scientific validation, people can’t be sure if what they are using will help or even if the products they take are what they claim to be.

For more than 20 years, Mannatech has included a pure, very refined ingredient derived from the gel of the aloe vera plant called Manapol® powder. Manapol powder is an essential ingredient in core Mannatech glyconutritional products. Mannatech’s Advanced Ambrotose® powder and Ambrotose Complex powder are among the company’s top-selling products containing this aloe vera gel extract, and are known for their cognitive, immune and gastrointestinal benefits.

Mannatech’s product technology, some of which includes Ambrotose powders, has been validated by scientific studies, having been the subject of 17 human clinical trials that have been published, 12 of which were double-blind, placebo-controlled studies—the gold standard for product validation. With Mannatech’s rigorous testing and quality controls, Mannatech products are known for their effectiveness at supporting the health and wellness of its customers.

“Mannatech takes great pains to ensure that we provide scientifically-backed product technology that is clinically tested. This is critical for our products that include aloe vera because we want to ensure we are delivering what we promise,” said Alfredo “Al” Bala, CEO and President of Mannatech. “Customers of many other companies are taking a gamble on the effectiveness of their purchases, but with Mannatech, there is no such risk. We have the best suppliers, quality controls from farm to family with finished products and clinical trials to support the safety and efficacy of our product technology that few can match.”

Mannatech takes extraordinary steps to provide its customers with real, beneficial aloe vera-based products. This includes transparency down to the plant in the ground. A big part of the transparency promise Mannatech makes is tied to the technology and supply Mannatech has painstakingly developed through the years. For example, recently Mannatech announced it has secured its continuing source of premium Manapol powder with an exclusive deal with Natural Aloe Costa Rica.

Additionally, Mannatech protects its product technology with 128 patents in major global markets. Again, this is something that is unmatched in the supplements industry.

Mannatech also makes efforts to be transparent and provide its customers with the latest scientific data and trends about its products in the U.S. and South Africa on its science website, MannatechScience.org. This speaks to the confidence that the company has in its products and science.

Finally, the company is proud to have a Global Scientific Advisory Board, made up of physicians, scientists and researchers from around the world. These experts take part in Mannatech’s commitment to scientific validation and ensure that its customers have top scientific minds supporting their needs.
