Mannatech Launches Omega 3 Fatty Acid Supplement

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) September 15, 2009 -- Mannatech Launches Essential Source™ Omega-3 ~ Provides Highly Concentrated EPA/DHA to Support Heart and Brain Health

COPPELL, TEXAS September 9, 2009 - Mannatech, Incorporated (NASDAQ - MTEX), a global pioneer in the development of high-quality health, weight and fitness, and skin care solutions based on nutritional science, announced today the official launch of its newest product, Essential Source™ Omega-3. An ultra-pure omega-3 supplement, Essential Source Omega-3 provides EPA/DHA essential fatty acids, so-called because they cannot be synthesized by the body and are only obtained through diet.

Essential Source Omega-3 will initially be available in the United States and South Africa and is scheduled to be available globally by December 2009.

The benefits of omega-3 supplements have been well-documented and supported by scientists, doctors and nutritionists alike. Among them:
- Cardiovascular health maintenance and support
- Brain function health and support
- Supports a healthy balance of immune functions

“The benefits of omega-3 fatty acids have been so consistently validated that the discussion has now moved beyond whether or not we should be adding them to our diet to how much we should be adding and in what form,” Dr. Robert Sinnott, chief science officer for Mannatech said.

“Studies show that populations consuming high levels of omega-3 in seafood-rich diets are the least prone to the health concerns associated with our Western diet. The safest way to get the proper amount of EPA/DHA in your diet is through supplementation; however, not all supplements are created the same. Mannatech products are supported by a rich history of cutting-edge nutritional science with more than $20 million invested over the last five years in world-class research and development. The highly-pure Essential Source Omega-3 is the latest result of that scientific investment,” concluded Sinnott.

In addition to the inherent health benefits, other distinguishing characteristics of Mannatech’s Essential Source Omega-3 include:

- Ultra-purity - Made from one of the highest-quality fish oils available
- Proprietary molecular distillation process - Two-step molecular distillation results in a pharmaceutical-grade standard of purity
- High EPA/DHA levels - More EPA/DHA than many other supplements and at an affordable price
- Pleasant taste - Lemon flavor and ultra-purity makes the product easy to take with no fishy aftertaste

- Efficiently sourced - Earth-friendly, and made from the highest quality and sustainable sources with complete traceability throughout the entire manufacturing process

“The benefits of this omega-3 product on brain and heart health are incredible," says nutritionist Katie Williams.

"I have been working alongside Mannatech for years now and know the quality of their products. Having an omega-3 product produced to their high standards is extremely good news and I would strongly recommend that people learn more and add it to their wellness programmes."
