MannatechÂ’s GlycoScience Web Site Receives International HON Seal
COPPELL, TX (May 17, 2001) - GlycoScience. com, MannatechÂ’s nutrition science Web site, has met the stringent criteria for accreditation as a Health on the Net (HON) Foundation Web site and will display the respected HON seal. HON is an international not-for-profit foundation devoted to promoting high quality Web sites that disseminate health information.
"Health On The Net has provided leadership in setting ethical standards for Web site developers and is one of the first and most respected portals to medical information on the Internet," according to Eileen Vennum, Vice President of GlycoScience Information. "Visitors to the HON site (www. hon. ch) can access the MedHunt search engine to be linked to health-related Web sites, including GlycoScience. com."
"From its inception, the staff at GlycoScience. com has been devoted to providing a high quality, science-based Web site consolidating information about nutrition, especially glyconutritionals, that cannot be found elsewhere," said Vennum. "The HON seal tells the world, particularly healthcare providers and scientists, that GlycoScience. com is committed to providing reliable, substantive information."
HON was established in 1995 as a not-for-profit, international Swiss organization by such worldwide notables as heart surgeon Dr. Michael DeBakey as well as representatives from the World Health Organization and the National Library of Medicine. This group created a permanent body that would guide consumers or non-medical users and medical practitioners to useful and reliable online medical and health information.
Mannatech Incorporated develops proprietary nutritional supplements and topical products which it sells through a network marketing system throughout the United States and the international markets of Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom and Japan.
