What are Essentials?

To maintain health, we need a diversity of vitamins, minerals, bioflavonoids, and other nutrients. Although we receive many of these nutrients from our diets, its impractical and virtually impossible to obtain an optimal dose through diet alone.

USANA understands the importance of providing the right ingredients - in the correct amounts, in the right balance, and in the correct forms - for all age groups. For this reason, USANA has created Essentials to provide the most well-rounded supplementation possible - a must for everyone interested in true health.

The Right Ingredients
The "essential" vitamins and minerals, as defined by government and nutrition experts, include the elements the body needs for proper cell function. Our bodies cannot manufacture these essential ingredients; so we must obtain them from our diets.

USANA has expanded the meaning of "essential" to include several nutrients that recent research has shown help to maintain optimal health. The USANA Essentials also contain a combination of antioxidant compounds to counteract free-radical damage in the cells.

BALANCED FORMULAS IN THE CORRECT AMOUNTS
USANA uses all of the available scientific literature to ensure that the micronutrients present in our ESSENTIALS formulas are balanced and in amounts to allow components to work together effectively. While much is still not known about all of the interactions that occur with nutrients in our bodies, USANA continues to keep abreast of the latest research to ensure up-to-date formulations.

The Optimal Form
To be useful, all nutrients must be of high quality and be bioavailable; in other words, in a form the body can absorb and use. USANA makes every effort to obtain the highest quality ingredients; and it tests those ingredients for quality and potency. In addition, USANA imposes rigorous quality control standards at every step of the manufacturing process.

Why the USANA Essentials?
USANA Essentials are advanced daily nutritional supplements that supply optimal nutrition for every age group.

USANA Essentials for adults is a combination of two products:

• Mega Antioxidant, a balanced, high-potency blend of vitamins, antioxidants, and other important nutrients to support general health and well-being and to counteract free-radical damage.
• MultiMineral, a complete broad-spectrum of essential minerals, in balanced, highly bioavailable forms.
