USANA PRODUCTS


USANA's product line includes Essentials (vitamin, mineral and anti oxidant supplements which supplies the foundation amounts of nutrients for the cells) and Optimizers (supplement products to provide you with additional nutrients to meet your specific dietary deficiency or health priority).


The ESSENTIALS are a combination of Chelated Mineral and Mega Antioxidant. Together, they provide a broad spectrum of vitamins, minerals, and other plant nutrients that form the foundation of USANA's nutritional system. The ESSENTIALS were named "Best of the Best" and one of just four supplements to receive the highest, Gold Medal Rating in Lyle MacWilliam's Comparative Guide to Nutritional Supplements, 4th Edition. The Essentials are approved by doctors and are in fact included in Physician's Desk Reference, Master Index of Medical Specialties, and Philippine Pharmaceutical Directory.


Compared to the market's most popular cell re-generating food supplement which only has 4 antioxidants, the Essentials have 20 antioxidants including patented olive extract which is known to have the highest level of antioxidants from any known source. It also has 96.1% absorption rate which is also the highest among other supplements in the US (most popular vitamin supplement is approximately 5%).


The ESSENTIALS are being patronized by St. Luke's Medical Center since 2008.


The ESSENTIALS include all optimizers except BioMega.


Other products that serve as optimizers include:


COQUINON 30 - supplies an advanced amount of Coenzyme Q10 which is vital for cardiovascular health, sound muscle function and healthy nerve function. Good for elderly, athletes, people whose lifestyle demands extensive physical exertion.


PROFLAVANOL - supplies powerful bioflavonoids from exceptional quality grape-seed extract, which is clinically proven to sustain sound cardiovascular health. It also maintains a balanced immune function and healthy, younger looking skin. St. Luke's recommend Proflavanol to be used in combination with ESSENTIALS for cancer patients.


HEPASIL - supplies important nutrients that support the liver and balance the detoxification processes within the body. Unlike leading food supplements for the liver, Hepasil has Turmeric extract which reduce the swelling of inflamed liver, something that silymarin can't do on its own.


BIOMEGA - supplies pure natural fish oil rich in Omega 3 fatty acids that are essential for optimal health and wellness. In Particular, they support healthy heart and joints. Other fish oils in the market are mostly from surface dwellers which are prone to chemicals, contaminants and mercury. Biomega sources are deep sea cold water fishes such as Deep Sea Salmon from Alaska and Sardines and Anchovies from the South Pacific.


ACTIVE CALCIUM - supplies nutrients that work together to promote strong, healthy bones. It also supports healthy muscle function and strength. Calcium supplements in the market is in solid form having high risk of kidney stones. Active Calcium is in liquid form.


PROCOSA - supplies advanced dosage of nutrients that support and maintain the cartilage in your joints. It has Glucosamine Sulfate (not Chondroitin and MSM which are macromolecules, thus aren't  effectively absorbed by the body). It can increase height even beyond 18 yrs old.


VISIONEX - provides comprehensive array of powerful antioxidants that protect the eyes against environmental factors to maintain healthy vision. Unlike other supplements which only contains Lutein (repairs outer retina only), Visionex contains Lutein (repairs outer retina), Zeaxanthin (repairs inner retina), and Bilberry Extract (antioxidant). Overall they prevent muscular degeneration in the eyes.


Apart from the products mentioned above, USANA also offers Nutrimeal (meal replacement drink mix) and Sense Skin Products.

Dr. Wentz has a very beautiful vision - to help people lead healthier lives - and I want to share this vision with others, with inspiration from my friend, Janine Eliza Gutierrez, who introduced me to USANA. Although obviously, USANA is business, we prefer to make it an advocacy of health as what Dr. Mentz vowed to live by.

I dream of a world free from pain and suffering. I dream of a world free from disease. The USANA family will be the healthiest family on earth. Share my vision. Love life and live it to its fullest in happiness and health. - Dr. Myron Wentz, Founder and Chairman, USANA Health Sciences.
