• Provides a potent antioxidant formula based on a synergistic combination of grape seed bioflavonoids and POLY C®
• May help maintain capillary strength and vascular function and help maintain healthy immune function
• Designed and manufactured according to USP and pharmaceutical GMP guidelines

It is a paradox of life. We require oxygen for efficient energy production and for the function of many metabolic pathways. And yet oxygen, in a variety of chemical forms collectively known as "reactive oxygen species" (ROS), is toxic to our cells and tissues. Elevated exposure to ROS creates a physiological imbalance known as oxidative stress. Dietary antioxidants are a primary line of defence against oxidative stress.

• Supports a healthy cardiovascular system
• Provides superior antioxidant protection
• Contains CoQ10 and alpha lipoic acid in a highly bioavailable formula

The energy that every cell needs to function is produced through a complex process in the mitochondria, an organelle within the cell, often called the cellular powerhouse. Cells store energy in a molecule called adenosine-5-triphosphate, or ATP. CoQ10 is an essential part of the electron transport chain used to make ATP. Thus ATP is synthesized and used by every cell in the body. Cells with the highest energy demands contain the highest levels of CoQ10. CoQ10 has been studied for years in the U.S., Europe, and Japan for its role in producing cellular energy. Several human clinical trials demonstrate maintenance of good muscle function.

No nutritional program is complete without a high-quality source of omega-3 fatty acids. Until now, it has been difficult to receive beneficial amounts of these acids because refining processes for today's commercial oils remove nearly all essential omega-3 fatty acids. The new BIOMEGA-3 formula contains ultra-pure, highly concentrated omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA, in a convenient capsule form, allowing you to get your full daily complement in half the number of capsules you used to take.

This product is superior to other concentrates. Not only is BIOMEGA-3 vsp verified, USANA uses a double molecular distillation process that ensures the highest possible purity, unsurpassed in the industry. This revolutionary process removes Mercury, PCBs, pesticides, and other heavy metals.

Omega-3 fatty acids are necessary for optimal health and wellness. These nutrients help support cardiovascular health, sustain optimal neural growth and development, and maintain good joint health.*

• Provides a broad-spectrum vitamin E supplement with other mixed tocopherols and tocotrienols, potent antioxidants from natural sources
• Comes in a 200 IU liquid hard-shell encapsulation for enhanced bioavailability
• Complements the USANA ESSENTIALS and provides optimal levels of vitamin E

Antioxidant vitamins and minerals are the body's first line of defence against highly reactive compounds known as free radicals. Although free radicals are normal by-products of cellular metabolism, their cumulative effects can be devastating.

Under ideal circumstances, antioxidants produced by the body and supplied by the diet "scavenge" free radicals and destroy them as they are produced. But influences such as an inadequate diet, a stressful lifestyle, and environmental pollution can upset this balance.

For those who want to increase their vitamin E intake and enhance their antioxidant protection, USANA has formulated a "full spectrum" vitamin E product. E-PRIME(TM) is a balanced blend of d-alpha-tocopherol, mixed tocopherols, and mixed tocotrienols.

• Furnishes an advanced vitamin C supplement based on USANA's proprietary blend of mineral ascorbates
• Provides 600 mg of vitamin C protection in each tablet for enhanced antioxidant protection
• Maintains a healthy immune system, supports the synthesis of collagen, and helps support cardiovascular health

POLY C® provides optimal vitamin C protection. POLY C is a unique blend of mineral ascorbates--our secret for a vitamin C supplement--that provides higher levels of vitamin C in the blood than from equal amounts of ascorbic acid.

• Comprehensive support for bone health contains sufficient calcium, magnesium, silicon, and vitamin D, to meet nutritional needs in only 4 tablets per day
• Clinically-tested formula

Supplementation with calcium is one of the keys to strong and healthy bones and to an enhanced quality of life. ACTIVE CALCIUM™ is carefully formulated with highly bioavailable forms of calcium, plus other important factors for lifelong bone health.

ACTIVE CALCIUM contains high amounts of calcium citrate and carbonate, magnesium, and vitamin D to optimize bone mineralisation and to ensure proper calcium use.

• Provides glucosamine sulphate (2,000 mg/daily dose) to support optimal joint health
• Formulated with vitamin C, manganese, and silicon, nutrients key to joint health
• Contains turmeric extract

   

  Every day your joints endure an enormous amount of stress from physical activity, including walking, lifting, and typing. Despite this heavy and constant use, we take our joints for granted and expect them to function trouble-free for several decades. However, more than 50 million people in the U.S. and more than 6 million in Canada suffer from some form of joint problem. The situation is worse for athletes and those who have high amounts of physical stress at work and at home. To help maintain healthy joints, USANA created PROCOSA® II, a product with a blend of glucosamine, manganese, vitamin C, and silicon--the building blocks for healthy cartilage.

• Comprehensive formula containing phytoestrogens from five different sources
• An all-natural formulation, with guaranteed high levels of soy isoflavones
• Addresses women's health issues relating to hormone changes and hormone release patterns

Natural approaches to maintaining health before, during, and after menopause have gained favour. Exercise, diet, nutritional supplementation, and botanical preparations of estrogen-like compounds such as PHYTOESTRIN may improve the quality of life for women during those times.

• An advanced supplement providing immediate and long-term support for men
• Furnishes a comprehensive formulation of clinically proven saw palmetto, plus lycopene and soy isoflavones
• Contains all-natural botanical components, which are standardised extracts, guaranteed for potency

SAW PALMETTO'S PROVEN BENEFITS
Recently, 18 randomised clinical studies revealed that about 80 to 90 per cent of men using saw palmetto showed a positive correlation between saw palmetto and men's health. Saw palmetto also has a gentle, strengthening effect on the male urinary systems.

USANA uses saw palmetto for this formula because considerable clinical research has shown the herb to be a powerful aid for maintaining men's health.

• Combines standardised, high-potency Ginkgo biloba extract, plus phosphatidylserine (PS)
• May act as a vasodilator to assist in blood circulation

GINKGO-PS is a combination of Ginkgo biloba extract with lecithin, rich in phosphatidylserine (PS) which may assist in blood circulation.

USANA's GINKGO-PS combines two powerful ingredients to assist in the maintenance or improvement of wellbeing. The herb Ginkgo biloba has been used for thousands of years in traditional Chinese medicine, and is in wide use today as it has a number of beneficial properties which may assist in the maintenance of peripheral circulation.

Ginkgo extract contains a mix of bioflavonoids, which provide antioxidant activity. Its most important role however, is in the maintenance of blood circulation throughout the body. The ginkgolides and bilobalides in Ginkgo extract promote blood circulation.

• A unique and comprehensive formulation of ingredients to maintain vision, including lutein and zeaxanthin, important antioxidant components found in the eye
• Includes vitamin C, bilberry extract, and zinc for additional support

THE GIFT OF SIGHT
Your eyes are your window on the world. Outside of good health itself, nothing is more precious than the gift of sight. Everyone sees differently, in part due to differences in the acuity of our vision and the general state of our health, but we owe it to ourselves to do everything we can to maintain optimal vision.

The eyes are not sequestered inside the body as the heart or kidneys are. Except when we are asleep, our eyes are constantly exposed to environmental factors such as air pollution, dryness, and oxidative damage from sunlight.

There are things that we can do to maintain vision. First, we can reduce the amount of damaging environmental effects we subject our eyes to each day. For example, we can minimise exposure to harsh sunlight with quality sunglasses, especially while driving, and if we work at a computer terminal for long periods, breaks of just a minute or two of looking at distant objects can reduce eye strain significantly.

Second, today's lifestyles and working conditions result in ever-increasing demand for defence from oxidative damage. We can help to maintain proper vision by providing nutritional supplementation, especially antioxidants to counter free-radical damage.
