GUANGZHOU, China--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Mannatech^®, Incorporated (NASDAQ: MTEX), which provides top-quality nutritional supplements for families in China through its website www.meitaichina.com, recently launched its most legendary ingredient, Manapol^® powder, to the e-commerce site. Manapol is the highest quality aloe vera gel extract in the world.

For more than 20 years, Manapol powder has been an essential ingredient in other Mannatech products. Mannatech’s Advanced Ambrotose^® product and Ambrotose^® complex are among the company’s top-selling products containing the aloe gel extract, and are known for their cognitive, immune and gastrointestinal benefits as well as cellular communication support.

Manapol powder is a pure, premium, 100 percent aloe vera gel extract that is abundant in acetylated, mannose-rich polysaccharides, or acemannans. The acemannans in Manapol powder have a guaranteed molecular weight of more than one million Daltons, testing the highest of any other aloe gel extract. As the most cutting-edge Glyconutritional product available, Manapol powder supports cellular communication and may provide gastrointestinal benefits.

Mannatech developed Manapol with families in mind. The powder is uniquely designed to help support a healthy immune system, helping to keep it strong over time.

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.

Since its founding, Mannatech has invested more than $50 million in research and development that includes a clinical testing program for its nutritional technology. In fact, Mannatech’s product technology has 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, its products are known for their effectiveness at supporting the health and wellness of families around the world.
