But that’s not all!
You have seen the proof from third parties above. This time, we’d like to share with you six more things that you might find important when it comes to choosing your health brand.
- 1 Usana makes over 90% of its products in-house
so you get consistent quality, and you know exactly where they’re coming from.
Most supplement brands out there are outsourced from third-party manufacturers. USANA is one of the few companies to manufacture most of its products in its in-house facility in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Watch this video to see how Usana manufactures its products to ensure purity, identity, composition, quality, and strength. With Usana’s Quality Guarantee from the ingredients to the manufacturing and testing process, you’ll have a clear idea why Usana remains to be the most trusted brand in nutritional supplements.
- 2 Usana has over 150 scientists.
They do a lot of research for you. You get health products that are scienced-based, and not based on hype or fads.
This gives you health products that are at the forefront of nutritional science.
Usana has also collaborated with other distinguished research institutions, including The Orthopedic Specialty Hospital, Boston University School of Medicine, University of Utah, University of Sydney, Utah State University, University of Colorado Denver, Australian Catholic University, and Glycemic Index Foundation.
Welcome to the world of science-based nutritional supplements.
- 3 Usana's founder is an award-winning scientist, not a businessman.
Part of his job at Gull was to create a nutritional system to grow the healthiest and best functioning human cells that will survive in his laboratory. Cellular nutrition, after all, has always been his expertise, even before Usana.
When he realized that his parents and brother and so many other people are dying prematurely from chronic degenerative diseases, he decided to shift his focus from diagnosis to health promotion and disease prevention by supplying the nutrients that the human cells really need to function properly and to remain healthy.
By doing market research, he discovered that none of the nutritional supplements back then had the right combination, amount, and balance of nutrients to support the complex needs of human cells. He thought, if no facility in the whole world could manufacture nutritional products that could cater to the needs of the cells, then he would start one. That’s when he started Usana.
Dr. Wentz received the Albert Einstein Award for his Outstanding Achievements in Life Sciences in 2007.
- 4 Usana is recognized for its high ethical standards.
- 5 Usana gives back to humanity.
Dr. Wentz’s humanitarian nature has made a big impact on the giving culture of Usana.
Usana and its associates are part of the True Health Foundation, which provides immediate and long-term global food relief for those in severe need. We also actively support the Children’s Hunger Fund and the Garden Towers initiative.
Usana Foundation
Garden Towers
Dr. Wentz and members of the Usana family also go to poor areas to personally help the people in need. We’ve been to corporate events and conventions where there’s always a big space for packing food and other relief items. We are also consistently given the chance (and reminded) to keep giving to those in need.
It’s truly a company with a big heart.
