USANA-NUTRITIONALS YOU CAN TRUST

How are Usana's products different and 

what makes them preferable to many other company's products? 

USANA Health Sciences formulates exceptional, science-based nutritional and personal-care products. However, inferior manufacturing can destroy even the greatest product formulations. For this reason, USANA manufactures its own nutritional supplements, and voluntarily meets pharmaceutical Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). Pharmaceutical GMP standards are far more stringent than the food GMP requirements set by the U.S. government for supplements.

To adhere to the exacting standards of pharmaceutical GMP, and to ensure the quality of every product manufactured, USANA inspects all raw ingredients before they are mixed, tests the product during manufacturing, and performs a final analysis before any product is sent to the customer. USANA's Quality Assurance team keeps track of every detail, from careful testing and evaluation of raw materials, to meticulous product shipping and storage. Visitors to USANA's corporate headquarters can take a self-guided tour to see USANA's manufacturing process firsthand..

Most companies manufacture nutritional supplements and personal care products to food grade standards. Providing food grade standards are met, a company can legally distribute and sell their products. Usana voluntarily manufacture all of their products to pharmaceutical grade standards. There are a small number of companies that claim to manufacture products to pharmaceutical standards, but even fewer who have received independent certification..

Usana sets the standard for excellence in dietary supplement manufacture and has received certification for adherence to pharmaceutical standard Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) from NSF International. Therefore, you can have confidence in the potency and overall quality of Usana Products.

Six of Usana's products are listed in the 2009 edition of the 'Physician's Desk Reference' (PDR) and have been listed since 2000. The PDR is used as a reference tool by doctors needing an accurate overview of prescription and non-prescription pharmaceutical products.

There are many different multivitamin and multi-mineral products available and quality can vary dramatically. In an independent review of over 1500 products, Usana received a top 5-star rating and a gold medal of achievement in the 'Comparative Guide to Nutritional Supplements' 4th Edition.  The Comparative Guide's final analysis put Usana Essentials and Health Pak's among "the best of the best".
