To
maintain health, we need a diversity of vitamins, minerals, bioflavonoids, and
other nutrients. Although we receive many of these nutrients from our diets, it
may still not be practical to obtain everything our bodies need.
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, 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?
USANA Essentials are advanced daily nutritional supplements that supply optimal nutrition for every age group. To help meet the "essential" nutrient needs of children and teens during the years of development, when good nutrition is most important, USANA offers:
USANA Essentials for adults is a combination of two products:
USANA
has created the USANA Optimizers, an
extensive selection of state-of-the-art nutritional products that enable you to
customize your nutritional program to meet your individual needs.
Part of a lifelong program of good nutrition is recognizing that we all have different nutritional needs, and that our individual needs change as we move from one stage of life to the next. For each one of us, a unique combination of age, sex, lifestyle, and other considerations demands a nutritional program that is both flexible and customized. USANA's line of Nutritionals comprises both the Essentials and the Optimizers to successfully meet this challenge. The Essentials products provide the foundation of USANA's nutritional system. The Optimizers allow you to customize that nutritional system for your individual needs. By using the following two-step process, you can create a complete nutritional program to fit those needs.
First, choose the Essentials product designed for the appropriate age group - Usanimals for children, Body Rox for teens, and regular Essentials for adults.
Next, choose the Optimizers that suit your individual needs. USANA Optimizers are grouped by label color in categories according to their primary benefit. You will find Optimizers that support cardiovascular health, skeletal/structural health, digestive health, and more.
Virtually all chronic
degenerative diseases that plague today's world are caused or 
exacerbated
by the deterioration of the modern diet. MACRO-OPTIMIZERS were
developed to provide great-tasting, high-quality macronutrients your body needs
to maintain health and feel great. These convenient, low-glycemic foods can be
used along with the ESSENTIALS™ and OPTIMIZERS
to complete your healthy diet. Many MACRO-OPTIMIZER foods
contain beneficial ingredients like dietary fiber, soy protein, and potassium.
To achieve and maintain a healthy body, your body's cells need specific nutrients (high-quality protein, varied fiber sources, low-glycemic carbohydrates, beneficial fats, vitamins, and minerals). When your body's cells lack these vital nutrients, they do not function properly.
At USANA, we understand that good nutrition includes both micronutrients (vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other compounds we consume in small amounts) and macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, and fats that make up the bulk of our food). The primary goal of good nutrition is to promote lifelong good health. This state of well-being implies the optimal performance of all body systems.
THE RIGHT MACRONUTRIENTS
It is vitally important that your diet include the right types of each class of
macronutrient:
THE IMPORTANCE OF A
LOW-FAT, HIGH-FIBER DIET
Soluble fiber, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may
reduce the risk of heart disease. Low-fat diets rich in fiber-containing grain
products, fruits, and vegetables, may also reduce the risk of some types of
cancer, a disease associated with many factors. Unfortunately, the normal diet
in today's society includes only one-half to two-thirds of the fiber necessary
for optimal health. The positive impact of a high fiber diet is
increased when there is a concurrent reduction in the amount of saturated fat
consumed.*
GLYCEMIC INDEX: WHAT IT
MEANS FOR YOU
The glycemic index is a way of measuring the rate at which carbohydrates are
broken down and appear in the blood as simple sugars. Those foods that result in
a rapid rise in blood sugar have a high-glycemic index. Carbohydrates that are
broken down slowly and cause only a moderate increase in blood sugar have a low-glycemic
index. Some carbohydrates fall in between.
High-glycemic foods provide quick energy, but it is usually short lived and hunger soon returns. Low-glycemic foods provide greater satiety and sustained energy, which makes eating less and losing weight easier.
TRANS FATTY ACIDS AND
YOUR HEALTH
Trans fatty acids, or trans fats, are created when food manufacturers turn
vegetable oil into solid fat, like shortening and hard margarine. This process
increases the shelf life of foods, including the potato chips, cookies, and
fried food that Americans consume every day. Trans fat behaves like saturated
fat, clogging arteries and increasing LDL-C (bad cholesterol) levels. Trans fat
may also reduce HDL (good cholesterol levels). Elevated LDL-C increases the risk
of developing coronary heart disease. The health risks posed by this dangerous
fat have prompted the FDA to require that U.S. food manufacturers list trans fat
amounts on all nutritional labels by 2006.
USANA MACRO-OPTIMIZERS
New MACRO-OPTIMIZERS are a healthy source of complex
carbohydrates, complete proteins, and beneficial fats. SOYAMAX™,
based on high quality soy protein, provides complete and balanced amino acids.
And some MACRO-OPTIMIZERS, such as FIBERGY®
and Iced Lemon FIBERGY BARS™, are low-fat, high-fiber foods.
These delicious snack bars and drink mixes are formulated to be low glycemic to
provide sustained energy throughout the day. All USANA MACRO-OPTIMIZERS
have been analyzed and do not contain trans fats.
MACRO-OPTIMIZERS have been developed by USANA's team of scientists to help take the guesswork out of proper nutrition. These precision formulations not only provide the correct amounts of healthy carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, they also taste great and are convenient. More importantly, they will help you build a lasting foundation for true health for tomorrow.
Skin is the body's largest organ and it can absorb healthy and unhealthy substances that are applied to it. Sensé™ products focus primarily on the cellular health of the skin and use the newest technologies available to create products that are both effective and safe. All of Sensé's pharmaceutical-grade complexes are thoroughly tested by dermatologists, allergists, and ophthalmologists to ensure quality and safety. Sensé products contain powerful ingredients that are clinically proven to revitalize, revive, and refine the skin as they help defend against free radicals and oxidative stress. Experience the dramatic difference of exclusive technologies and superior nutrition in every Sensé product.
U.S. PATENTED
SELF-PRESERVING FORMULAS
Sensé has revolutionized the science of skin care with groundbreaking,
self-preserving technology. For years, scientists have worked to find an
alternative to parabens, the traditional preservative used in beauty and
skin-care products. After nearly ten years of research, USANA found the answer
in a unique, U.S. patented blend of botanicals, antioxidants, and active
ingredients that keep every Sensé product fresh without the need for parabens.
It truly is the next generation of skin and body care.
DERMAL SURFACE RENEWAL (DSR™)
TECHNOLOGY
USANA's exclusive anti-aging complex, Dermal Surface Renewal (DSR), is now more
powerful than ever because it works to help reduce the appearance
of existing signs of aging. This extraordinary, marine-source formulation is free of
alpha-hydroxy acids, yet effectively evens skin tone and retextures, refines,
brightens, and firms the skin's surface. DSR is found
in PERFECTING ESSENCE, NIGHT RENEWAL, SERUM INTENSIVE, and EYE NOURISHER.
REGENISOMES™
New Regenisomes supply enzymes that amplify the body's natural process of
rejuvenating the skin, which can be found in DAYTIME PROTECTIVE EMULSION, and
ultrasomes, the slower acting enzymes that work without light, are found in
NIGHT RENEWAL and EYE NOURISHER.
PROFLAVANOL-T®
A powerful oxidative-defense complex that is rich with vital nutrients,
Proflavanol-T provides optimal nutrition for hair and skin cells. Concentrated
whole-grape extract, rice-derived gamma oryzanol, and green tea are powerful
antioxidants that keep skin and hair strong, while vitamin E and tocopherols
soothe and nourish to maintain the integrity of the skin's lipids. This
breakthrough, topical-flavonoid complex is your first line of defense for
beautiful, healthy hair and skin.
PROTEO-C™
The crucial role that vitamin C plays in cell health and collagen synthesis has
been known for decades. Proteo-C is a revolutionary formulation of water-soluble
and lipid-soluble forms of vitamin C that counteract the harsh effects of the
environment on the hair and skin's appearance and provide essential
antioxidants. Proline and glycine, highly effective amino acids that draw in
moisture, diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Smoother, brighter
hair and skin can be yours with this powerful beauty therapy.
Sensé™ was developed with the knowledge that the skin reflects the state of the body's health and looks its best when all cells in the skin's layers are properly nourished and hydrated. The skin is the last organ to receive nutrients from the body, and the first to show signs of nutritional deficiency, imbalance, or illness. While some nutrients can be applied topically, others can only be produced from within the body. Therefore, true health and beauty requires a synergy of internal and external nutrition, as well as protection from environmental toxins and oxidation damage, which can accelerate sagging and wrinkling.
The Sensé beauty regimen is designed to be a comprehensive approach to skin and hair care that takes into account the nutritional needs of both the skin and body. Sensé's outer nutrients, which smooth, hydrate, and reduce the signs of aging, are most effective when used in conjunction with the USANA® Nutritionals, which help to replenish and nourish the skin cells from the inside out
