About USANA
What sets USANA apart from other nutritional supplement companies is the high standards of manufacturing. The USANA tablets are formulated to meet USP standards for potency, purity (microbial counts), uniformity and disintegration (requiring full disintegration within 30 min). Because of the disintegration time, the vitamins and minerals in these supplements are properly absorbed and fully available for maximum use by the body. USANA is committed to providing its customers with the best nutritionals that money can buy.
USANA supplements meet pharmaceutical grade guidelines; the highest standards for nutritional supplements in Canada and the U.S. Pharmaceutical grade tablets and capsules must meet certain standards for quality, as set by the United States Pharmacopoeia or USP. The USP is a non-profit organization that works closely with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the pharmaceutical industry and health professionals to establish authoritative standards. These standards are enforceable by the FDA and the governments of more than 35 other countries, and are recognized worldwide as the hallmark of quality. USANA chooses to manufacture its products according to these rigid quality standards.
The company comes with very impressive credentials. The products are manufactured in Utah and the company has been awarded two of Utah's Best of State Awards for dietary supplements. This is amazing considering Utah is home to more than 100 supplement manufacturers! USANA has also once again made Forbes magazine's list of 200 Best Small Companies.
