Are you in Pain??

Every day your joints endure an enormous amount of stress from physical activity, including walking, lifting, and typing. Despite this heavy and constant use, we take our joints for granted and expect them to function trouble-free for several decades. However, more than 50 million people in the U.S. and more than 6 million in Canada suffer from some form of joint problem. The situation is worse for athletes and those who have high amounts of physical stress at work and at home. To help maintain healthy joints, USANA created PROCOSA® II.

By taking PROCOSA® II daily, it supports our joint health:

• an adjunctive for the treatment of osteoarthritis
• Provides glucosamine sulphate to promote optimal joint health

5-Star Gold Standard rating

USANA flagship Essentials and HealthPak 100 nutritional supplements rate 'best of the best' out of 1,600 products evaluated in Canada and United States. USANA Health Sciences, a leading global health supplement manufacturer, once again received 5-Star Gold Standard ratings for its nutritional products in the much-anticipated 4th and latest edition of the NutriSearch Comparative Guide to Nutritional Supplements.™

Author Lyle MacWilliam MSc, FP, a former biochemist and educator, released the 1st edition of the guide in 1999 to help consumers make informed, scientifically based decisions about nutritional supplements. The latest edition features detailed comparisons of more than 1,600 products based on a blended standard created from published recommendations of 12 nutritional authorities and 18 rating criteria developed from scientific literature.

USANA's Essentials and HealthPak 100™ products both received 5-Star Gold Standard ratings and the NutriSearch Gold Medal of Achievement™. USANA is no stranger to this recognition as similar high ratings were given in the first, second and third editions of the guide.

According to the comparative guide, companies that receive 5-Star Gold Ratings must meet the "highest standards of quality in research, formulations and manufacturing." The guide also noted that companies awarded the NutriSearch Gold Medal of Achievement™ have gone to considerable expense to meet and exceed the most stringent of manufacturing standards. USANA was one of only four companies rated this highly and asked by publishers to include a company description within the latest edition of the guide.

"It is gratifying to have our Essentials and HealthPak products independently recognized for excellence," explains Dr. Tim Wood, USANA's executive vice president of research and development. "We applaud Mr. MacWilliam's efforts to raise the bar on quality within the supplement industry."

Sensé™ Self-preserving Technology is a Skin-care Industry Breakthrough

USANA received an official patent(U.S. Patent No. 7,214,391) on May 8 from the United States Patent and Trademark Office that guarantees proprietary rights to the self-preserving technology used in Sensé skin- and personal-care products.

The patent covers USANA’s formulation for manufacturing Sensé products so that they are capable of maintaining their shelf life without the need for added chemical preservatives. The products are “self-preserving” in that they don't require traditional chemical preservatives to maintain their shelf life.

Traditional skin-care manufacturers must use common chemical preservatives in order to keep their products from spoiling. Sensé patented self-preserving technology combines proprietary blends of purifying botanicals in protective liquid crystals to keep the product fresh naturally, so skin can receive all the benefits of pure and healthy ingredients.

This is revolutionary technology that USANA’s respected team of scientists spent nearly 10 years perfecting. The patent ensures that only USANA and our Associates have the exclusive distribution rights to our unique self-preserving technology.

In addition, Sensé product line also received a Utah Best of State Award this year in the personal-care/cosmetics category for its revolutionary self-preserving formulations. The Utah Best of State Awards are a recognition program that was created to acknowledge outstanding individuals, organizations, and businesses in Utah.

We need supplementation

We Need Supplementation

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.

NUTRITIONALS YOU CAN TRUST

World-class athletes use USANA nutritional supplements to increase their energy levels and maintain their health. USANA's team of highly trained scientists follow Good Manufacturing Practices to ensure the safety and quality of each product.

USANA's products have been proven so safe, effective, and free of contaminants that U.S. and Canadian speed skaters, in addition to other professional athletes, trust their health to USANA.

JANUARY 16, 2004 The Globe and Mail (Canada)
"Firm Offers Million Dollars" In this article, reporter James Christie, writes about USANA's Athlete Guarantee that offers up to $1 million (CA) to athletes who have entered into an agreement with the company. These athletes may seek limited compensation from USANA if they use USANA nutritional supplements and test positive for banned substances as a result of the supplements. The article notes that most athletes take supplements and alleges that up to 25% of the supplements made by other companies worldwide contain substances that may ban an athlete from competition. USANA's guarantee offers an assurance that its supplements "are not performance-enhancing chemicals; they are natural nutritional supplements."

A Message From Dr. Myron Wentz, Founder and Chairman, USANA Health Sciences, Inc.

Good health and financial freedom - that's everyone's dream. USANA PROVIDES BOTH!

We have forgotten what it is like to die of ol age in this world. Instead we die of man-made diseases that could and should be prevented. Statistics tell us that one in three Americans will die of cancer, one in three will prematurely die as a result of heart disease, and that most of the rest will die of either another form of disease or by accidental death. Only a few of us will die of old age.

Chronic degenerative diseases are rampant throughout the world. Both of my parents died prematurely. My father succumbed to heart disease when I was 17 years old, and my mother died a few years ago of cancer. When my father died, I remember my mother saying to me that she wished I could have done something to help him. I believe that with the USANA Health Sciences products, people can live longer, healthier lives and I'm excited about sharing this good news with others.

I find it tragic that the vast majority of people leave this earth too soon and spend too many of their years in pain and suffering. Since I've been using the USANA Nutritionals I believe that time is on my side. How many of you can say the same?

I know that I am providing the cells of my body with the right kind and the right amounts of nutrients, and that the dangerous free radicals that produce diseases and weaken my immune system are being neutralized. I also know that more of the degenerated cells in my body are being replaced with healthy, disease-resistant cells.

As you learn more, you may ask yourself whether you can afford to use the USANA products every day. Just let me say that you can't afford not to! A single case of cancer or heart disease can cause financial ruin for a family.

The USANA products should be at the top of your grocery list. After all, isn't your health the most important thing you have? If you knew what I know about the USANA products, you would not be without them.

The USANA opportunity also rewards you for taking control of your health. The innovative business plan provides weekly paychecks for independent associates with unlimited earning potential.

The USANA Health Sciences staff, and tens of thousands of independent Associates, have built the USANA corporation into a major player in the network marketing industry in just a few short years.

I encourage everyone to adopt the healthy lifestyle that USANA products support, and invite those interested in a rapidly growing opportunity to study our compensation plan. You'll be pleased with USANA.

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.

Myron Wentz, Ph.D.
Founder and Chairman, USANA Health Sciences, Inc.

Sad Day

On Sundays, as usual, I would get up in the morning and head off to the pool for competitive swimming lessons. What we do at the pool is not the usual swimming lesson where you learn and practise the strokes. We swim laps, and we swim to beat the clock. 1st lap maybe on 2 minutes for 50 metres, 2nd lap 3 minutes, rest 20 seconds, 3rd lap 2 minutes and 4th lap as fast as one can go. Coach can be a sadomasochist at times, by increasing the laps and adding more sessions.

Arrived at the pool. There's a notice at the gate. "Coach is in hospital, lesson cancelled." What!!?? What happened? Made some phone calls and managed to get hold of coach's assistant. "Coach had a stroke." he said. How can that be? My coach is not the regular yelling, shouting, blowing whistle type at the sideline, he is a competitive swimmer himself.

According to the doctor, coach had a vein rupture on top right of his brain. This happens when the blood vessel is weakened. Surgery was done on him to stop the bleeding and also to withdraw blood that has bleed into the surrounding brain.

I don't enjoy being at the hospital, neither while visiting nor checking into one myself. The sad faces of patients or visitors. The fast moving staff, either they are really busy or they are avoiding any contact. The smell. The siren.

How can one be healthy? One who lives to a graceful age and able to enjoy good living? Something for me to ponder, research and learn.
