Mannatech, Inc. (NASDAQ - MTEX), has received a merit Web Health Award. The Web Health Awards program recognizes the best Web-based health-related content for consumers and professionals. The program, held twice a year, reviews Web sites and bestows a seal of quality for those that provide reliable health information. This seal of quality should remind consumers that a panel of international health information and Internet experts have reviewed the site and approved it for accuracy, success in reaching its targeted audience and overall quality.

The Web Health Awards program is organized by the Health Information Resource Center (HIRC), a national clearinghouse for consumer health information programs and materials. This Web-based health awards program is an extension of the HIRC’s 16-year old National Health Information Awards, the largest program of its kind in the United States. There were nearly 1,000 entries in last year’s National Health Information Awards from hundreds of organizations.

“We are honored to have the work of our scientific services team recognized,” said Dr. Robert Sinnott, Mannatech’s chief science officer and senior vice president. “Our goal at Mannatech is not only to produce innovative wellness products, but to provide education and scientific validation that confirms the benefits of our products. We are continually learning through research relationships with academic and corporate partners; it’s important to share that knowledge with our independent sales Associates and consumers.”
