USANA Health Sciences Review - Why Join Dr. Myron Wentz?
This article provides a review of USANA Health Sciences, which is a network marketing company in Salt Lake City, Utah. USANA manufactures various products for weight control, personal care, and nutritional supplementation at its home office in Salt Lake City, Utah. USANA has distributors in fourteen markets: Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Singapore, Mexico, Malaysia, Philippines, and the United States. Many people are considering to join USANA about the earth and many thousands have already joined either with a home business,as distributors or as customers.
The company's four product brands are: USANA Nutritionals, USANA Foods, Sense Beautiful Science, and Rev3 Energy Drink. The name USANA is coined from Greek and Latin words meaning "true health."
Dr. Myron Wentz, who founded USANA, received a Ph.D. from the University of Utah in the field of microbiology with specialization in immunology. He is reknowned in the scientific community, having received the Albert Einstein award in 2007, for his contribution to life sciences.
Preceding USANA, Dr. Wentz founded Gull Laoratories in 1974. Gull Laboratories is the world leader in diagnostic test kits. Gull has over 35 patents today and many of its kits are used in hospitals and clinics around the world. The best known kit, which put USANA on the map, is for the Epstein-Barr virus, or mononucleus. Gull Labs today creates billions of human cells and sustains them with nutritional formulations developed by Dr. Wentz.
Dr. Wentz's intention statement is: "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..." Having lost his father to a heart attack at age 17 and his mother to breast cancer while at Gull Labs, he wanted to be able to make a difference in preventing disease vs. merely diagnostics. When his own health started to decline, his search for a nutritional product for himself resulted in the conclusion that a scientifically-based, effective formulation wasn't offered on the market. In fact, he understood that if existing product formulations were used with cell cultures in his lab, the cells would go dead within a week.
USANA employs over 900 people worldwide, including about 630 people at the corporate offices in Utah. The sales for the year 2008 were around $429 million.
The USANA Nutritionals were named the editor's choice when compared to 1500 other products in the NutriSearch Comparative Guide to Nutritional Supplements and have achieved best of state awards in Utah for several years in both the nutritional (Best Dietary Supplement 2008, 2007, 2006, 2004, 2003) and personal care categories (Best Personal Care Products in 2008, 2007).
USANA is the official health supplement supplier of the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour, US Speedskating Team, Speed Skating Canada, Biathlon Canada, Cross Country Canada, USA Luge, and USA Bobsled Team Radcliff.
USANA's stock symbol on the NASDAQ is USNA. The company was in the top 20 Forbes' 200 Best Small Companies list for 2006, 2005, 2004 and in the Business Week 100 Hot Growth Companies list in 2004 and 2003.
USANA and Dr. Wentz chose a direct sale, or network marketing approach from the company's inception. This method was chosen in order to offer a better price to consumers and included a lofty goal of "legitimizing" the MLM business. At the latest 2009 International Convention in Salt Lake City, CNN Host Larry King made a surprise appearance. He interviewed MLM industry expert Tim Sales about the network marketing industry's legitimacy, effectiveness for people starting a home business, and correlation to various other current events including the Bernie Madoff scam. Larry King was himself a victim of this con and appeared "legitimately" amazed to ascertain that MLM is, in fact, a very legitimate business model.
The USANA products have unquestionably been valuable to thousands of clients. My own personal physical condition has benefited greatly in several areas, including less lower back pain and an improved immune system (virtually no flu or colds since starting to use the products in 2002).
The corporation has acknowledged over 150 million-dollar earners presently. The associate payout is approximately 53% of net earnings, which is the highest of any public network marketing company. The company has earned the Distributor's Choice award from MLMInsider.com each year consecutively for the last 10 years.
Network marketing is a viable business model and USANA Health Sciences would be an excellent company to consider for anyone starting a home business venture. Initial cost is low, at present P990 for a distributor kit, and additional tools are readily available for worldwide marketing this business. The worst possible outcome would be for an individual to be unsuccessful at customer acquisition and sales, yet to still gain an improved health picture in the process.

USANA Nutritional Supplements Rate 'Best Of The Best' Out Of 1,500 Products Evaluated In Canada And US
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.™
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."

Win the Battle of the Bulge with a Nutritious Meal
| (The Philippine Star) Updated July 06, 2010 12:00 AM |
MANILA, Philippines - Managing weight is one of the primary concerns of the growing legions of Filipino health buffs and weight watchers. In doing so, they try to block or burn fat, reduce fat intake, take slimming teas and capsules, go on a stringent fitness regimen, and even go on a crash diet.
According to Dr. Ray Strand, a leading American authority on nutritional medicine, while these measures somehow help manage weight, over 98 percent of dieters will regain their weight, and usually more.
He added that the so-called yo-yo diets and quick fixes that are not scientifically based are unhealthy and unsustainable in the long term.
The good news is there is a medically proven way to manage weight without losing on the important nutrients needed by the body to stay healthy. Utah-based USANA Health Sciences, one of America’s fastest-growing pharmaceutical grade nutritional supplement firms, recently launched Nutrimeal on the Philippine market which will cater to the Filipinos’ increasing desire to manage weight more effectively.
A great-tasting, low-glycemic meal replacement drink, Nutrimeal contains quality protein, carbohydrates, fats, dietary fiber, and micronutrients needed by the body on a daily basis. Each serving contains eight grams of dietary fiber, which can help maintain a good digestion, healthy heart, and sound circulatory system.
It is reformulated for a low glycemic index (GI) of 23 for sustained energy and balanced glucose absorption; it is packed with soy phytonutrients for a healthy immune system.
Strand says that the breakthrough drink helps reduce the frequent carbohydrate cravings and health risks associated with a high-glycemic diet, such as obesity, diabetes, and hypertension.
Available in vanilla and strawberry flavors, the meal drink has soy isoflavones, which have antioxidant effects that help maintain bone health and moderate natural hormone cycles.
Each serving provides 15 grams of soy, whey, and other proteins. Soy may help maintain cardiovascular health, diastolic blood pressure, and HDL-cholesterol levels. Soy protein contains essential amino acids in optimal ratios and in a highly digestible form.
Meanwhile, whey protein is an excellent source of amino acids essential for building a healthy body.
Coupled with a moderate exercise program, low-glycemic carbohydrates, and sufficient water intake, the five-day Nutrimeal Reset program is a high-fiber cleansing food which can effectively take away a few excess pounds.
