Registration is now officially open for the "Nutrition
and Personal Health Coaching" course designed by the Department of
Nutrition and Food Sciences at Texas Woman's University (TWU), with
input from Mannatech scientists.
This is very impressive, as you don't see any nutritional companies able to educate at universities like this.
This science-based course was designed to meet the growing demand of
both health professionals and members of the general public who are
eager to learn more about health and nutrition and discover how to
implement this knowledge in realistic ways into their daily lives. With
this curriculum, individuals can bolster their wellness business and/or
overall knowledge about nutrition, integrative
health, supplements and achieving a healthier lifestyle.
As part of TWU's curriculum Dr. Rob Sinnott, Co-CEO and Chief
Science Officer at Mannatech, will be guest lecturing on the Dietary
Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) of 1994. Upon completion of
this 45-hour, university-level program, participants will earn a
Certificate of Completion of Training as well as continuing
education credit hours.
Like Mannatech, TWU promotes the concept of social entrepreneurism and
making a difference: The proceeds from this class will be used to fund
scholarships for needy and deserving undergraduate and graduate
students. So, while students increase their knowledge and the
marketability of their skills, they will also be helping others.

New Nutrition Program: Mannatech Partners with Texas Woman's University
Texas Woman's University and nutritional supplement manufacturer Mannatech, Inc. have joined forces to create an online nutrition program to guide current and future health professionals.
"This course prepares students to deliver a prescription for a healthy body and sound mind through good nutrition and lifestyle practices," said Dr. Chandan Prasad, Professor and Chair of the Department of Nutrition and Food Sciences at TWU.
The curriculum, which includes comprehensive nutrition, integrative health and dietary supplementation information, is unique in that it provides guidance in how to effectively coach those interested in pursuing healthy behavioral changes.
“Even after decades of government-funded awareness campaigns, Americans continue to make poor choices about nutrition,” said Dr. Robert Sinnott, Co-CEO and Chief Science Officer of Mannatech. “Collectively, we don’t consume nearly enough fresh vegetables, fruit and dietary fiber and the vast majority of foods that people consume are extensively processed. This has contributed to a myriad of expensive health-related issues. There is clearly a need for properly trained ‘wellness coaches’ who can personally educate consumers about nutrition and healthy choices. Many of Mannatech’s 223,000 Associates* are passionate about wellness. We believe that this new training program offered by TWU, an accredited university with a world-recognized nutrition department, will create new opportunities for our Associates and other people interested in pursuing a career in the growing health and nutrition field.”
To guide the public toward dietary supplement messaging that is compliant with regulations established by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the innovative TWU curriculum also includes a guest lecture from Dr. Sinnott about the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA). Individuals who successfully complete the program will receive a Certification of Completion of Training by TWU’s Department of Nutrition and Food Sciences.

Study Shows Mannatech's Ambrotose Complex Improves Well-Being in Healthy Adults
Mannatech announced findings from a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial involving more than 100 healthy adults and its Ambrotose(R) complex powder.
The controlled trial revealed a wide range of perceived benefits. The study compared the adults who consumed Ambrotose to those who consumed a placebo, and individuals who consumed the complex powder reported numerous health and well-being benefits following 12 weeks of intake. The study, conducted by Dr. Talitha Best and colleagues in Australia, was published in the peer-reviewed journal Applied Research in Quality of Life.
"Dr. Best has been committed to investigating the impact of plant saccharides, including Mannatech's Ambrotose complex, on brain function for more than six years," said Dr. Robert Sinnott, co-CEO and chief science officer of Mannatech."In this blinded study, healthy adults taking Ambrotose complex powder perceived numerous quality-of-life benefits, including some that have been confirmed by formal cognitive testing (1)+,(2)+*. Because our preclinical research suggests the product also provides gastrointestinal benefits, we were pleased that gastrointestinal effects were among the perceived benefits reported by individuals who consumed Ambrotose complex."
