The Australian Patent Office issued patent #734,183 to Mannatech Inc. for a glyconutrient blend for use as a nutritional supplement, the company reports this week. Glyconutrients are saccharides that code information and translate commands from one cell to another throughout the body, and they form the core ingredients for the nutritional supplements and topical products developed by Mannatech. Glyconutrients are used in the body's natural recognition and defense system as nutritional support for promotion and maintenance of good health, says Mannatech. The company has filed U.S. and a significant number of foreign patent applications for glyconutritionals.
