#1
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 pub-
lished recommendations of several well-known
nutritional authorities. Using these criteria,
MacWilliam evaluates nutritional supplements, con-
cluding 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, broad-
spectrum 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 pro-
mote 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 com-
pleteness.
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.
USANA’s #1 Nutritional line includes products for
everyone: Usanimals for the little ones; Body Rox
for teens; and Essentials for adults and seniors.
For that reason, it's imperative that the supplement
you choose provides an essential nutritional founda-
tion. 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 nutri-
ents 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 nutri-
ent 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 nutri-
ents 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.
Look inside, and see for yourself.
