About us

Our story

Hi! My name is Adrian, and I am on a mission to bring high quality sports nutrition solutions to athletes who need to train, race, and compete in hot and humid conditions. I am born and raised in Malaysia, and here we start sweating even before taking the first step of our run!

The origin of our first product MannaJelly came from having to down countless dry cookies, buns and bruised bananas and fuel for early morning and post-work runs and tennis sessions, and ranting "why is everything sticking to my teeth" and "there must be a better alternative to this". 

So we decided to make our own solution. Taking inspiration from jellies from our childhood, we wanted to create an energy source that satiating and hydrating, delivers good amount of carbs and vitamins, and tastes delicious. We experimented for countless hours in the kitchen with the goal of creating fuel that makes both your body and tastebuds happy. 

Mannatek is a mix of two words. Manna from the health level in various computer games we knew growing up as kids (still remember all those hours playing Maple Story?), and Tek as short for technology. Together, they form Mannatek's mission to make localized sports nutrition available to athletes in our region thoughtfully designed for high temperatures and high sweat rates. 

We are a movement born in Malaysia who are willing to help athletes from hot and humid regions push beyond the boundaries of performance.
