USANA antioxidants, why are they better for you?

Everyday, your body gets rid of mutated and oxidized cells, known as "free radicals". With a strong immune system, the human body can recognize and get rid of these cells. Cells can become mutated or oxidized naturally as they are replicating in the body, or from stress, smoking, age, and sun damage. UV rays from the sun are very hard on your body's cells.

According to the dictionary, an antioxidant is a molecule capable of slowing or preventing the oxidation of other molecules. Oxidation is a chemical reaction that transfers electrons from a substance to an oxidizing agent, just like it happends with rust. Oxidation reactions can produce free radicals, which start chain reactions that damage cells. Antioxidants terminate these chain reactions by removing free radical intermediates, and inhibit other oxidation reactions by being oxidized themselves. As a result, antioxidants are often reducing agents such as thiols or polyphenols.

USANA Health Sciences announced that it is expanding its existing partnership with the Linus Pauling Institute (LPI), in an effort to better determine the function and role of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants (micronutrients) in promoting optimal health and preventing disease.

For over a decade, LPI, one of the nation’s first Centers of Excellence for Research on Complementary and Alternative Medicine, has been committed to the research of heart disease, cancer, aging, and neurodegenerative diseases. Along with its research on mirconutrition, LPI’s mission includes:

Determining the role of oxidative and nitrative stress and antioxidants in human health and disease, and Helping people everywhere achieve a healthy and productive life, full of vitality, with minimal suffering, and free of cancer and other debilitating diseases.

“The partnership between LPI and USANA will significantly enhance the Institute’s research mission, enabling our scientists to better understand the role antioxidants, phytochemicals, and other nutrients play in human health,” said Balz Frei, director of the Linus Pauling Institute. “We are very excited about this opportunity.”

USANA’s research team will collaborate with LPI on cutting-edge nutritional and clinical research. This collaboration and contribution will support:

Discovery that advances the science of human nutrition and health, Information that helps USANA to formulate and upgrade superior nutritional products, Information that helps USANA to better advise its customers on how to use USANA products to promote and maintain health, and Publications in leading scientific and medical journals that credit USANA for support and that may bear the name of USANA scientists as contributing scientists and authors where appropriate contributions have been made.

“The Linus Pauling Institute is clearly at the forefront of research in the arenas of nutrition and health,” said USANA’s Executive Vice President of Research & Development Tim Wood. “USANA is proud to be supporting their efforts and we look forward to working with LPI in advancing the science of nutrition in both laboratory and clinical settings.”

Supplements for Asthma?

According to its etiology, asthma is a chronic disease that affects your airways. The airways are the tubes that carry air in and out of your lungs. If you have asthma, the inside walls of your airways are inflamed (swollen). The inflammation makes the airways very sensitive, and they tend to react strongly to things that you are allergic to or find irritating.

According to its pathophysiology, when the airways react, they get narrower, and less air flows through to your lung tissue. This causes symptoms like wheezing (a whistling sound when you breathe), coughing, chest tightness, and trouble breathing, especially at night and in the early morning.

Doctors say that, "the key in truly helping patients with asthma is to rebuild their natural antioxidant defense system and natural immune system back to optimal levels." USANA can help, by the following nutritional recommendations.

Myron Wentz, Ph.D. (immunology and microbiology), founder and chairman of USANA Health Science, hypothesizes that foods with high peroxide values, especially proccessed, fatty foods, generate "free radicals" that in turn damage healthy cells. Researchers believe that supplementary antioxidants are necessary for combating these free radicals in addition to the body's normal defense.

Disclaimer: "If you have asthma, consult your physician for a medical treatment. USANA should only be used as homeophatic holistic approach to asthma."

Doctors recommended and trusted by athletes

Thousands of MDs, and thousands of other healthcare professionals (veterinarians, nurses, pharmacists, and others) in the thirteen countries around the world in which Usana does business to date, are Usana associates. Yet, many healthcare professionals are unaware that in 2002 the American Medical Association advised that everyone needs to take vitamins if they want to protect their health. (Journal of the American Medical Association).

Many other elite and professionals athletes trust their health to Usana. The Usana Sports Advisory Board consists of many elite sports trainers and competitors.The WTA (World Tennis Association) has endorsed Usana as the official supplier of nutritional supplements to its players.

USANA Nutritional Supplements Rank No. 1 in Health Benefit in North America according to independent analyses by the Canadian government's science panel. USANA voluntarily meet pharmaceutical-grade manufacturing standards, and are among the few nutritional supplements listed in the Physicians' Desk Reference (PDR).

Throughout his long and distinguished career in biomedical science, Dr. Myron Wentz has conducted important research on his own and has guided teams of researchers in many other investigations. The result is a noteworthy body of work that includes papers published in prestigious scientific journals, poster presentations exhibited at scientific congresses and symposia, and other, more general, published works. Additional, less technical writings by Dr. Wentz can be found in back issues of USANA Health Sciences publications.

Did you know that in the U. S. the nutritional information on vitamin labels does not have to be the truth - UNLESS the vitamin label states that it meets USP (pharmaceutical) manufacturing standards? And, when tested, few U S. vitamin companies have in their product what is stated on the label.

With USANA, you can be sure to have what the label says it has, and that is a GUARANTEE! If you are ready to make USANA part of your life, click here. If you want to become an associate click here. Or simply visit our website: www.karolynas.com or www.karolynas.usana.com
