Ever wondered just how much damage smoking is doing, not only to your health, but also your skin?
The most serious damage to skin is caused by:
#1 Restricted blood flow through the capilliaries (tiny veins near the skins surface) preventing oxygen and nutrients getting to the skin.
#2 Increased production of an enzyme which breaks down the supply of collagen to the skin’s structure. Collagen supply is vital to the skin’s elasticity. It decreases with age, but smoking cigarettes accelerates this process.

Since first hearing about Mannatech and their nutritional products, I’ve had a number of queries; queries that I haven’t been able to get to the bottom of.
So, recently I contacted them via email, to see if they could clear things up.
In my first email I asked for scientific studies carried out on Mannatech products in humans, as I had been unable to find adequate examples.
To which I was encouraged to visit sites such as Pubmed, and Google Scholar to search for “glyconutrient” or “Mannatech,” where I would apparently find many independent studies. I had already done this, but failed to find significant results.
Below is the second email I sent, detailing more specific queries:
