History[edit | edit source]

Mannatech was founded by Samuel L. Caster, a successful entrepreneur with a passion for health and wellness. Inspired by the potential of glyconutrients, a group of complex carbohydrates that are believed to play a crucial role in cellular communication, Caster set out to create a company that would harness the power of these nutrients to improve people's health.

Mannatech offers a wide range of products that are designed to support overall health and well-being. Their flagship product, Ambrotose, is a glyconutritional dietary supplement that contains a blend of glyconutrients derived from plant sources. These glyconutrients are believed to support cellular communication and promote optimal health.

In addition to Ambrotose, Mannatech also offers a variety of other nutritional supplements, including vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and probiotics. They also have a line of skincare products that are formulated with natural ingredients to nourish and rejuvenate the skin.

Controversies[edit | edit source]

Mannatech has faced some controversies over the years. In 2007, the company was sued by the Texas Attorney General for making false and misleading claims about the health benefits of their products. The lawsuit resulted in a settlement, and Mannatech agreed to pay a fine and change their marketing practices.
