Nutrition we
actually feel good about.

Mannatech has quietly become part of our family's daily routine — whole-food nutrition, MannaBears for the kids, and plant-sourced glyconutrients. Here's my honest take.

Shan Fourie and family
In my words

Filling the gaps in our day.

As a mom, the thing I think about most is whether my family is genuinely well — not just fed, but nourished. Like most of us, our daily diet doesn't always cover everything our bodies need, and that's the gap Mannatech has filled for us.

NutriVerus is the whole-food powder I add to our day — a blend of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and plant-sourced glyconutrients (also called glycans). And the kids have their MannaBears, a gummy they actually ask for. It's become a simple, easy ritual rather than a chore.

I'm really drawn to the thinking behind glycans: they're nutrients our bodies use every single day, and many believe they're harder to get from modern food than they once were — as soil and farming practices have changed over the years. NutriVerus and MannaBears are simply how we top ours up.

My son learns differently and lives with ADHD, and supporting his focus and wellbeing is something I'm always thoughtful about. These have become a considered part of his daily routine, and as a family we've genuinely noticed a difference in how settled and focused he feels. That's my honest, personal experience, shared as a mom — not medical advice, and never a substitute for the guidance of your own doctor.

✨ My current obsession

LUMINOVATION K-Beauty System

I've been using this since May and I am besotted. It's the one product in the whole range I get asked about most — a 4-step Korean-designed skincare ritual (cleanser, toner, essence lotion, cream) built around Mannatech's glycan technology and skin-microbiome support. This isn't just another routine — it's a symphony that sings on your skin.

  • Formulated to brighten skin and visibly soften fine lines and wrinkles
  • Aloe-sourced glyconutrients replenish moisture and strengthen the skin barrier
  • Ceramides + a six-jewel complex (diamond, pearl, amethyst, ruby, sapphire, topaz) for a healthier, brighter-looking glow
  • Gentle weekly exfoliation that revives dull skin without stripping it
  • Four steps designed to work together — each one amplifies the next

A daily staple · for me

NutriVerus

This is the whole-food powder I personally take every day. It provides the natural, food-sourced vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, glyconutrients and phytonutrients your body craves — in a whole-food matrix, the way your body actually wants it.

  • Antioxidant support through mixed carotenoids, vitamin C, vitamin E, selenium and zinc
  • Immune support through vitamins A, B6, B12, C, D and E, folic acid, iron, zinc, copper and plant fibres
  • Copper, calcium, iron, iodine, folic acid, potassium, phosphorus and selenium for the maintenance of good health
  • Aloe for antioxidant, detoxification and immune-boosting properties
  • Vitamin D to help the body absorb and use calcium and phosphorus

What I've put Jordy — and all 3 kids — onto

MannaBears

A yummy, wholesome, pectin gummy formulated to contain a quality source of Glycans from Manapol powder — Mannatech's exclusive, pure Aloe vera extract. MannaBears also contain phytonutrients from dehydrated fruits and veggies like raspberry, broccoli, carrot, tomato and spinach. All three of my kids take these, and Jordy in particular has been on them as part of his daily routine — nutritious and delicious, both children and adults genuinely love them.

  • A good source of Glycans from Manapol powder, Mannatech's exclusive Aloe vera extract
  • Full of natural ingredients: amla, raspberry, broccoli sprouts, broccoli, carrot, kale, tomato and spinach
  • Naturally flavoured, coloured with vegetable and fruit juices, sweetened with tapioca syrup and cane sugar
  • Incredibly delicious — my kids ask for these themselves

A little on glyconutrients

What are glyconutrients?

Plant-sourced sugars (glycans) that the body uses for everyday cell-to-cell communication. They're the nutrients at the heart of Mannatech's range — and the science around them is still emerging.

Plant-sourced

Naturally-sourced ingredients — free from gluten, MSG, artificial colours and preservatives.

For the whole family

NutriVerus for adults and children 4+, and MannaBears made just for little ones.

A giving ethos

Every purchase helps provide nutrition to a child in need through Mannatech's social impact.
