I'm KATHIE NADZAN and thre are four reasons why I'm a USANA Distributor -- Science, Health Benefits, Quality and Integrity! #1 USANA IS A SCIENTIFICALLY DRIVEN COMPANY -- Dr. Myron Wentz, the founder of USANA, with Ph.D.'s in both Immunology and Microbiology, has well over 35 years of experience. At Gull Laboratories, his expertise in cell culture biology set the FDA standard for diagnosing viral disease with the first commercially available test kit for Epstein-Barr virus. Dr. Wentz had to determine what nutrients were needed to grow and maintain billions of healthy human cells to be used in those test kits. He took the knowledge of growing healthy cells in a laboratory and applied it to formulating the best possible nutritional supplements for humans. Out of this research USANA was born. #2 USANA OFFERS A COMPLETE AND BALANCED NUTRITIONAL SYSTEM -- The USANA Essentials, the core of our nutritional system, consists two products, the Mega Antioxidant and the Chelated Mineral, to provide the body with the proper combination of the most bioavailable nutrients in optimal amounts. Not the RDA amounts, but the optimal amounts. Other USANA nutritional products are also formulated in the most boavailable form available. You will never find a "fad" product offered by USANA -- only products backed up by real scientific and medical research. #3 SUPERIOR QUALITY PRODUCTS -- Vitamins are regulated under the FDA Good Manufacturing Procedures (GMP) for food products. However, USANA voluntary chooses to follow and undergo certification by the FDA using the GMP's for pharmaceuticals products. So the same stringent requirements used to govern the manufacturing process of antibiotics, medical devices and IV fluids are used to manufacture USANA products. They are manufactured at USANA's own facility. The raw materials are tested on arrival at the plant, quarantined for 30 days, and then retested. When stability and purity are confirmed the manufacturing process can begin. However at 12 different points in the process samples are again pulled and tested. The end product is guaranteed for its purity and 100% potency. #4 Company Integrity -- USANA is a standout in the Network marketing field. It has been voted the #1 network marketing company with the #1 compensation plan by industry distributors seven years in a row. The COMPARATIVE GUIDE TO NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS rated the USANA Essentials as the #1 nutritional supplement. USANA products are featured in the Physicians' Desk Reference. In 2004 USANA ranked #9 on the BUSINESS WEEK Annual list of the top 100 Hot Growth Companies and was the #3 best performing stock on CBS MarketWatch.com. USANA is a worldwide publicly traded company. It is listed on the NASDAQ and is included in the Russell 2000 index.
