Procosa II



          Why Procosa II?          

Procosa II is USANA’s formula for joint health. We incorporate a full 2000 mg per day of high-quality glucosamine sulfate, a dosage significantly higher than the industry standard. Then we combine
this with turmeric extract, vitamin C, manganese, and silicon for comprehensive joint health.

• Vitamin C, manganese, and silicon provide additional nutrition essential for joint health Procosa II Difference
• Turmeric extract speeds the action of Procosa II to provide more immediate benefits

A Powerful Blend
The combination of glucosamine sulfate with turmeric extract, manganese, vitamin C, and silicon represents a more comprehensive approach to joint health. Over the long term, these ingredients help retain healthy cartilage. Turmeric contains curcumin and related compounds known as curcuminoids, which have good antioxidant properties. Manganese is required for enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of proteoglycans.

Vitamin C is essential for the reactions necessary to collagen formation. And silicon is required for proper
collagen formation and ultimately cartilage composition.

          WHO SHOULD TAKE          

- Athletes whose joints endure greater wear from physical stresses
- People whose work requires constant, repeated activities like walking and typing
- Older people who want to maintain problem-free movement

Coquinone 30


Why CoQuinone 30?


CoQuinone 30 contains a full 30 mg of CoQ10 and 12.5 mg of alpha lipoic acid per soft gel capsule. USANA’s unique formulation provides these important antioxidants in a natural mixture of lecithin and vegetable-derived glycerin monooleate in a base of
medium chain triglycerides. Clinical tests performed in USANA’s laboratories show that

CoQuinone 30 delivers CoQ10 in much higher quantities than from solid formulations or from competitive liquid formulations, making CoQuinone 30 more bioavailable than other CoQ10 products.

Do You Need CoQ10?

The relationship between coenzyme q10 and heart health can be summed up in one sentence – Every muscle in the body, particularly the heart, the muscle that has most demand for coenzyme q10, cannot function without this vitamin, which is vital for life itself.

As we age, the ability to absorb and synthesize CoQ10 diminishes and the amount of CoQ10 retained in tissues decreases. In addition, CoQ10 may be depleted by several other factors, including overall nutritional status and inadequate levels of the B vitamins, vitamin C, and selenium. Excessive exercise or environmental stresses such as illness and extreme weather may also lower CoQ10 levels in tissue.

Why People Use CoQ10
·         Heart failure
·         Cardiomyopathy
·         Heart Attack Prevention and Recovery
·         High Blood Pressure
·         Diabetes
·         Gum Disease
·         Kidney Failure
·         Migraine
·         Counteract Prescription Drug Effects
·         Parkinson's disease
·         Weight loss


Alpha Lipoic Acid

Alpha lipoic acid is a natural antioxidant which attacks free radicals that cause damage to the cells in the body. Alpha lipoic acid supplements help to rid the body of harmful substances from the environment. Harmful substances may include cigarette smoke, car exhaust, pesticides, and household cleaning products, among others.

Alpha lipoic acid is another component involved in mitochondrial energy metabolism and recycling oxidized CoQ10. This system also helps to regenerate and recycle other
antioxidants, including vitamins E and C and glutathione.

Alpha lipoic acid benefits people with:
-
Diabetes
heart disease
 high blood pressure
Parkinson's disease
Alzheimer’s disease

      WHO SHOULD TAKE     
   - people whose heart or muscle is a priority
   - athletes and those whose work require constant muscular exertion
   - older people whose natural ability to synthesize CoQ10 has diminished

Active Calcium


Throughout life, bones are in a constant state of reformation as calcium is continually removed from and re-deposited in the bones. Adequate levels of calcium are needed every day to ensure that bone mineral density is maintained. If people do not get enough calcium from their diets, the body will take it from bone structure, which results in a net loss of bone calcium.

WHY ACTIVE CALCIUM?
USANA's Active Calcium is enhanced with boron and Vit K. Boron reduces calcium excretion and increases deposition of calcium in the bone. Vitamin K influences the level of osteocalcin in the bone-forming cells and thus the rate of mineralization of bone.

Magnesium and Vitamin
Magnesium is an essential mineral that accounts for about 0.05 percent of the body's total weight. Along with calcium, it is an important component of strong, healthy bones.

CALCIUM AND YOUR HEALTH
Deficiencies of calcium, magnesium, boron, and vitamin D can contribute to the development of osteoporosis, thinning of the bones that makes them prone to fracture. Although signs of osteoporosis usually don’t occur until the later years of life, getting the proper amount of calcium in our diet when we’re young helps build strong bones and reduces the risk of osteoporosis in the future, as long as dietary intake continues to be adequate. Adolescents who make even a five percent gain in bone mass in their teens may reduce
the risk of osteoporosis by 40 percent.

In addition to maintaining healthy bones, calcium is critical to normal nerve conduction, muscle contraction, blood clotting (provided it is normal to begin with), cell division, and electrical conduction in the heart.

It is also essential for producing and activating enzymes and hormones that regulate digestion, energy, and fat
metabolism.


Who should take
- Women, throughout their adult lives
- People whose diets are deficient in calcium and other bone-building nutrients
- People whose bone or muscle health is a priority
