Mannatech Antioxidant Product Receives Two New Patents
Ambrotose AO® capsules granted Decision to Grant for Europe and patent in Indonesia
Mannatech, Incorporated (MTEX), the founder of the M5MSM (Mission 5 MillionSM) social entrepreneurial movement, the pioneer of nutritional glycobiology and the leading innovator of naturally-sourced supplements based on Real Food Technology® solutions, announces the issuance of two new patents pertaining to its Ambrotose AO formulations, increasing the total patents held by the company to more than 90.
“While the vast majority of antioxidant supplements rely on high-dose synthetic ingredients,” said Dr. Sinnott, CEO and Chief Science Officer at Mannatech, “we knew back in 2003 when we launched Ambrotose AO that a better approach would be to formulate a synergistic blend of fat- and water-soluble food-sourced antioxidant nutrients that resemble the nutrients found in a diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables. Proof of the benefit of Ambrotose AO supplementation, as measured by increased serum oxygen radical antioxidant capacity (ORAC), has been confirmed in three human clinical trials.1,2,3 The product’s safety has been confirmed during these studies and by 11 years of data collected by our outstanding Safety Monitoring Program.”*
Mannatech received the Decision to Grant from the European Patent Office and was issued the Letters Patent for Indonesia pertaining to its Ambrotose AO formulation. More than 25 patents have been issued worldwide to Mannatech for the technology pertaining to this formula. Overall, more than 90 patents have been issued worldwide to Mannatech for the technology pertaining to its Ambrotose, Ambrotose AO, GI-ProBalance®, and PhytoMatrix® product formulations and in the field of biomarker assays.
“Mannatech had the foresight to begin developing its patent portfolio in the mid-1990s,” continued Dr. Sinnott. “These two new patents are a direct result of our systematic research and intellectual property development which has continued without pause since the company began.”
