USANA, RANKED #1 IN NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS!

I was blown away when I first read about this study, and I urge everyone who is interested in good nutrition for themselves and their family to pick up a copy of this facinating book.

This unbiased study is full of eye opening information about what you should be looking for when shopping for vitamin & mineral supplements, and It's amazing to me what the majority of companys in the vitamin industry have been getting away with.

But there's no need to waste your hard earned dollars on inferior supplements that just don't deliver the potency and safety that you and your family deserves anymore, USANA is ranked number one in the industry with good reason!

USANA Essentials continues its exceptional #1
ranking in markets around the world, coming in on
top in an independent comparison to hundreds of other
nutritional supplements.

Canadian biochemist and author Lyle MacWilliam
uses a rigorous 14-point quantitative score, from his
popular new book, the *Comparative Guide to
Nutritional Supplements (3rd Edition), to assess
product quality. His Blended Standard for optimal
daily intake is derived from the independently published
recommendations of several well-known
nutritional authorities. Using these criteria,
MacWilliam evaluates nutritional supplements, concluding
that USANA's Essentials formulation sets a
new standard for product quality.

MacWilliam also dispels the myths that anything
less than broad-spectrum supplementation with a
pharmaceutical-grade multiple vitamin and mineral
product will not supply optimal health benefits. In
other words, avoid the hype created by marketing of
the “flavor of the month” by choosing the nutritional
supplement that supplies a high-potency, broadspectrum
and balanced approach — the USANA
Essentials.

Myth #1: All you need is....
People often approach nutritional supplementation
in a piecemeal fashion. Some take vitamin E to promote
cardiovascular health. Others use vitamin C or
zinc to support healthy immune function. And many
simply skip from one product to another, month after
month, following the call of the latest buzzword or
"magic bullet" that has been highlighted in the press.

This approach to choosing a nutritional supplement
is just plain wrong. It runs counter to the most basic
principles of optimal nutrition — balance and completeness.

The Synergy of Teamwork
The human body is a complex organism that
requires a full complement of essential vitamins,
minerals and antioxidants for optimal performance.
When taken together in balanced amounts, these
nutrients provide the bricks and mortar to build a
strong foundation for long-term health. Leave any
nutrient out or provide it in insufficient quantities and
the strength of that foundation is weakened.

For that reason, it's imperative that the supplement
you choose provides an essential nutritional foundation.
A quality nutritional product should comprise
the complete range of vitamins, minerals, cofactors,
and trace elements, as well as a diverse group of
potent antioxidants.
It must also supply these nutrients
in the correct balance and at potencies shown
to promote good health lifelong. Avoid nutritional
fads. Insist on balance, completeness and quality.
Your health depends on it.

Myth #2: An apple a day....
It may once have been true that eating well could
provide all the nutrients your body needs. Today, our
faster-paced, higher-tress jobs, combined with nutrient
depletion in our soil and toxic pollutants in the air,
ground and water, can easily overwhelm our body’s
defenses — unless we provide them with extra nutrients
through supplementation.

Nourishment for your cells
USANA founder Dr. Myron Wentz came to nutrition through scientific research requiring him to keep cells alive in petri dishes for months at a time.

Realizing that if he found the secrets to nourishing
individual cells, he could also feed human cells in the
body. Dr.Wentz transferred his vast cellular nutrition
experience into the finest supplements available
anywhere — the USANA Essentials.

Dr. Myron Wentz is founder and chairman of USANA Health Sciences. In 1992, he created USANA based on his vision of a world free from pain, suffering, and disease. He has spread the belief in the importance of cellular nutrition by developing a group of nutritional supplements based on his cell-culture expertise. "At USANA, our aim is to produce the highest quality, scientifically-proven nutritional supplements for optimal health." The phenomenal growth of USANA proves the accuracy of Dr. Wentz' ideas and the effectiveness of the nutritional supplements he has brought to the world.

USANA was an outgrowth of Dr. Wentz' research on human cell cultures performed at Gull Laboratories in Salt Lake City, UT. At Gull, Dr. Wentz developed more than 30 different assays for infectious diseases, including many FDA and industry firsts. The first product to establish worldwide prominence was his assay for the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). Introduced in 1977, it was the first commercial assay for EBV to receive FDA clearance. Dr. Wentz' commitment to worldwide health has progressed from his work at Gull to the quickly growing USANA Health Sciences to the new Sanoviv Health Retreat, a wellness and healing center in Baja, Mexico.

Dr. Wentz obtained his Ph.D. in microbiology and immunology from the University of Utah. He holds a master's degree in microbiology from the University of North Dakota and a bachelor's degree in biology from North Central College in Naperville, Illinois.

Dr. Wentz was the recipient of the 2003 Ernst & Young Utah Entrepreneur of the Year award.

THE ESSENTIALS

I've spent years looking for a good quality nutritional supplement that I can depend on not only for it's health benifits, but also one that wouldn't break the bank. I've tried dozens of different companys but nothing that made me say "Ok, I've found the right ones."

But then I found Usana and the difference in how I feel is amazing , I invite you to try USANA supplements, and feel for yourself the USANA difference!

What are Essentials?
To maintain health, we need a diversity of vitamins, minerals, bioflavonoids, and other nutrients. Although we receive many of these nutrients from our diets, its impractical and virtually impossible to obtain an optimal dose through diet alone.

USANA understands the importance of providing the right ingredients - in the correct amounts, in the right balance, and in the correct forms - for all age groups. For this reason, USANA has created Essentials to provide the most well-rounded supplementation possible - a must for everyone interested in true health.

The Right Ingredients
The "essential" vitamins and minerals, as defined by U.S. government and nutrition authorities, include the 13 organic compounds and 19 inorganic elements the body needs for proper cell function. Our bodies cannot manufacture these essential ingredients; so we must obtain them from our diets.

USANA has expanded the meaning of "essential" to include several nutrients that recent research has shown help to maintain optimal health. The USANA Essentials also contain a combination of antioxidant compounds to counteract free-radical damage in the cells.*
The Correct Amounts

The U.S. Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA) lists essential vitamins and minerals in amounts necessary to ensure a continuation of life and to address nutritional deficits that may cause acute deficiency diseases. The USANA Essentials are formulated to do more than defend against deficiency diseases; they are designed to promote optimal health.* The Essentials contain greater amounts of almost all the necessary vitamins and minerals than are prescribed by the RDA.

The Precise Balance
There is still much we don't know about the ways nutrients work together. A healthy body is an extremely complex system, and each functional area requires a diverse mix of nutrients. For many reasons, nutritional supplementation should provide nutrients that are both balanced and in adequate doses. For example, certain vitamins supplied in isolation can result in other nutritional deficiencies, and many micronutrients can be toxic at excessive or imbalanced levels. USANA painstakingly designed the Essentials to allow components to work together both safely and effectively.

The Optimal Form
To be useful, all nutrients must be of high quality and be bioavailable; in other words, in a form the body can absorb and use. USANA makes every effort to obtain the highest quality ingredients; and it tests those ingredients for quality and potency. In addition, USANA imposes rigorous quality control standards at every step of the manufacturing process.
Why the USANA Essentials?
