GUANGZHOU, China--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Mannatech^®, Incorporated (NASDAQ: MTEX), a global health and wellness company committed to transforming lives to make a better world, offers the innovative nutritional supplement Ambrotose^® which is clinically proven to provide cognitive support for young adult functions essential to reach their potential in the classroom. This is even more critical now as success in the upcoming Zhongkao and Gao Kao are essential for future academic advancement.

According to human clinical trials published in peer reviewed journals, Ambrotose powders can positively impact brainwaves associated with attention in young adults and improve memory and alertness in middle-aged adults.

The cognitive factors of focus, attention and memory are crucial for young adult students aiming for high academic achievement.

“Clinical studies conducted by independent scientists who are experts in their fields have found that Ambrotose powder gives a helpful boost in memory, focus and attention as well as providing perceived beneficial changes in well-being,” said Dr. Rolando Maddela, MD, MPH, CCRP, Mannatech’s Director of Clinical Research and Scientific Affairs. “For young adults who are students, Ambrotose products can be a positive addition to a comprehensive approach to academic achievement. Ambrotose may also play an important role in the overall health and wellness of students, a factor that also contributes to academic success.”

Dr. Maddela suggests that as little as four grams per day of Advanced Ambrotose^® powder or capsules may help support some of the factors that contribute to success in the classroom.

Mannatech is the pioneer in developing Glyconutritional technology, which includes Ambrotose powders. Ambrotose encourages cellular communication and is shown to support cognitive functions – including memory, focus and attention, as well as supporting the body’s immune and digestive systems to encourage overall health.

Some of Mannatech’s Glyconutritional products are supported by industry-standard clinical studies, including 17 human clinical trials that have been published, 12 of which were double-blind, placebo-controlled studies — the gold standard for product validation.
