COPPELL, Texas--(Business Wire)--
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 their newest product, PhytoBurst
Nutritional Chews. PhytoBurst soft chews are convenient, tasty lemon or
mixed-berry-flavored supplements that support the modern diet with balanced
nutrition from vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients and antioxidants.

PhytoBurst nutritional chews:

* Support the immune system*
* Help keep energy levels going*
* Include important antioxidant support from broccoli, cranberry, grape and
rutin*
* Contain natural and food-sourced ingredients
* Are suitable for vegetarians

With today`s hectic lifestyle and the frenzy of the holidays fast-approaching,
it can be difficult to maintain proper nutrition on-the-go. These portable chews
come in a re-sealable pouch and are ideal for tossing in a gym bag, lunch sack
or purse. PhytoBurst soft chews are natural, suitable for the entire family and
can be used before a workout, during long periods of activity, while
participating in sports or between meals.

"These nutritional chews are an excellent addition to our already outstanding
lineup of wellness products," Dr. Robert Sinnott, chief science officer for
Mannatech said. "We believe that because the unique combination of vitamin and
mineral blends and phytonutrients found in PhytoBurst soft chews come directly
from plant and food sources, our bodies will receive the maximum nutritional
benefit from the product. We also feel that the ease with which you can take
PhytoBurst soft chews; on the go, without even the need of a glass of water,
will help people to maintain their good health in their busy daily lives."

Additionally, PhytoBurst nutritional chews benefit from Mannatech`s Real Food
TechnologySM solutions which use food-sourced and plant-based ingredients for
the most useful results in the human body. Along with nutrients sourced from
broccoli, cranberry and grape, one serving of two PhytoBurst nutritional chews
contain as much Vitamin A as 2.5 fresh apricots and as much Vitamin D as 4 cups
of milk (vitamin D) to support your diet with balanced nutrition.

"One of the things that I love about working with Mannatech is that they are
always on the cutting edge of technology," said Merri-jo Hillaker, a Silver
Presidential Mannatech Associate. "By putting the essential vitamins and
nutrients that we need into a flavorful, portable chew, we can offer a unique
alternative to your typical supplement. With the PhytoBurst nutritional chews,
you really taste and experience the goodness that you`re getting."

The PhytoBurst soft chews are also designed to complement Mannatech`s line of
