COPPELL, Texas--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--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, will announce company milestones at its international conference, MannaFest^SM 2010, March 17-20, including its new “Live For Real^SM” international brand, an innovative new product, Simply Delicious™ Snack Bar and expansion plans into Mexico.

“The direct selling industry offers a unique opportunity for those looking to build a business and earn additional income, especially during this tough economic climate”

“We are excited to unveil Mannatech’s new look and feel because the ‘Live for Real’ promise is more than a tagline; it truly reflects the way of life for our company and independent sales Associates internationally,” said Dr. Robert A. Sinnott, PhD, co-chief executive officer and chief science officer of Mannatech. “Our Real Products, Real Passion and Real Possibilities philosophy supports people looking to change their lives through a personal commitment to healthy living and dedication to building a business.”

Mannatech’s promise behind the Live for Real philosophy:

Real Products: Mannatech’s Real [5] for Life^SM core products include Ambrotose^® complex, Ambrotose AO^® capsules, PhytoMatrix^® caplets, PLUS™ caplets and Essential Source™ Omega-3. All of these products are based on Mannatech’s Real Food Technology^SM solutions, which offer food-sourced ingredients that contain standardized levels of natural and plant-sourced nutrients at nutritionally effective levels
Real Passion: People behind the promise with stories from the heart; real giving through the charitable organization, MannaRelief^†
Real Possibilities: An income-earning opportunity to fund a wellness program or build a business

Mannatech’s newest product, the Simply Delicious snack bar, is USDA Organic certified and is produced with clean and sustainable solar energy. It is preservative-free, contains 150 calories or less, 8 grams of protein and 6 grams of fiber per bar, and comes in two terrific flavors – cherry pie and chocolate raspberry truffle.

“These snack bars were made specifically for the health-conscious person on the go,” said Dr. Sinnott. “The Simply Delicious snack bar is full of flavor, healthy and is filled with protein and fiber, so you feel satisfied without filling up on calories.”

International expansion will also be part of the MannaFest 2010 agenda. Later this year, Mannatech plans to launch its new Live For Real brand, high-quality products and business-building opportunity in Mexico.

“This will be a crucial step for our international growth,” said Randy Bancino, president of global business operations and expansion. “Our future presence in Mexico will allow us to reach an entirely new market of consumers interested in our wellness products and business-building opportunity.”

This year’s MannaFest conference will host Associates from 15 different countries. Speakers include Dr. Sinnott and other company executives, Chairman of the Board Stan Fredrick and Basketball Hall-of-Famer and Team Mannatech^SM program spokesperson Nancy Lieberman.
