Mannatech Introduces MannaBar -- a Low-Glycemic Nutrition Bar Containing Ambrotose, Omega-3s, 23 Vitamins and Minerals

COPPELL, TX -- (MARKET WIRE) -- October 03, 2006 -- (NASDAQ: MTEX) -- Mannatech, Incorporated has introduced MannaBar, a healthy, low-glycemic nutritional alternative for those looking for a portable, between-meals snack.

Even if you maintain a healthy lifestyle and eat properly, you probably do not ingest enough glyconutrients or omega-3 essential fatty acids to maintain optimum health. MannaBar provides these valuable nutrients in a delicious, healthy snack.

MannaBar's core ingredient is Mannatech's proprietary Ambrotose complex -- a patented glyconutritional blend of plant sugars (carbohydrates) designed to support the immune system. The bars also contain 80 milligrams of DHA and EPA omega-3 fatty acids -- the most active form of omega-3s that the body does not have to convert for nutritional use.
