MELBOURNE, Australia, Dec. 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gelteq Limited (“Gelteq” or the “Company”), a clinical and science based innovator in gel based oral delivery technologies, today announced that it has entered into a three year sales agreement with Shenzhen Mana Health Management Co. Ltd. (“Mana”) under which Mana will distribute consumer nutritional products within China using Gelteq’s proprietary gel formulation. The agreement represents a significant step forward in expanding Gelteq’s nutritional product portfolio in China.

Mana is a well-established distributor of healthcare and wellness products in China with a strong digital presence and a network of offline retail sales channels. This infrastructure provides an existing platform to introduce Gelteq’s nutritional formulations to a new and broad consumer base across the country.

Under the agreement, Mana will promote, market, and sell a nutritional formulation primarily focused on sugar lowering across China through its multichannel healthcare network. The agreement also includes minimum annual order volumes during its three-year term which Gelteq expects to derive a minimum revenue of approximately USD $1.3 million during the term of the agreement.

The agreement accelerates Gelteq’s strategy to expand its proprietary nutritional formulations in China, one of the world’s largest and fastest growing wellness and functional nutrition markets. The agreement also establishes a pathway to introduce additional nutritional products that incorporate Gelteq’s proprietary technology.

“Our agreement with Mana Health represents a significant milestone in expanding nutritional products featuring Gelteq’s technology in China,” said Nathan Givoni, Chief Executive Officer of Gelteq. “By securing multi-year minimum commitments from distributors such as Mana, we seek to generate predictable revenue and advance the adoption of our platform in one of the most strategically important markets for nutritional products globally.”

The agreement builds upon the recent launch of Gelteq’s sports performance range across Asia and reflects increased demand for Gelteq’s innovative gel based technology. The Company’s expanding presence in Asia demonstrates both market readiness and consumer appetite for scientifically developed delivery formats that enhance convenience, taste, and functionality.

“The momentum we are seeing across Asia highlights the versatility of our gel platform and the readiness of our regional partners to distribute our science driven solutions,” Mr. Givoni said. “We are actively pursuing additional partnerships of a similar nature in the near term.”
