USANA Products Receive Approval From ConsumerLab.com, Informed-Choice

In recent blind studies, seven of USANA’s products were evaluated and approved by two leading providers of independent test results and information in the field of nutritional supplementation—ConsumerLab.com, LLC (“CL”) and Informed-Choice.

In the ConsumerLab.com study, CL purchased and evaluated lutein and zeaxanthin products from various nutritional supplement manufacturers to determine whether they contained the amounts of the compounds as stated on their labels. Upon completion, CL announced that USANA’s Visionex™ had “met [its] label claim and ConsumerLab.com’s standards for lutein and zeaxanthin products,” qualifying Visionex to carry the organization’s coveted Seal of Approval.

Similarly, Informed-Choice—working in conjunction with United Kingdom-based HFL—conducted extensive testing on USANA supplements Active Calcium™, Procosa® II, Chelated Mineral, Poly C®, Mega Antioxidant, and Body Rox™. All were examined and found to be free of the contaminants targeted by Informed-Choice from the World Anti Doping Agency (WADA) list of prohibited substances, qualifying the products to carry the highly respected INFORMED-CHOICE logo. (This news is particularly exciting to any of your athletically minded prospects!)

Good Nutrition Essential to Tour Victories

USANA, the official health supplement supplier of the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour, would like to congratulate the 2007 Wimbledon Ladies Doubles Champions Cara Black (ZIM) and Liezel Huber (RSA).

“Tennis is an extremely rigorous sport and very demanding on the body,” said South African native and ladies doubles champion Liezel Huber. “Since taking USANA products, I have truly experienced a noticeable difference in my health. I firmly believe that USANA’s world-class nutritional supplements played a major role in my performance at Wimbledon 2007.”

USANA announced its partnership with the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour in late 2006, introducing USANA’s unmatched nutritional products to 400 of the world’s most elite athletes in women’s tennis. Wimbledon, the oldest major championship in tennis, is commonly regarded as the most prestigious international tennis competition.
