Mannatech Trains Ugandan Chemists

finanznachrichten.de:

Mannatech (Nachrichten), Incorporated , a global wellness solutions provider and leader in proprietary glyconutritional supplements, is training the three Ugandan chemists in the rigorous process of collecting plants, extracting their compounds and identifying the functional ingredients.

“Uganda is home to an estimated 30 percent of the world’s biodiversity,” said Dr. Robert Sinnott, Mannatech’s chief science officer. “A number of their plants probably have substantial functional value. Although European pharmaceutical firms have offered to negotiate harvesting rights with Uganda, none have offered the nation much in return.”
