Exciting news for USANA-sponsored boxer Timothy “Desert Storm” Bradley! After winning the May 10 WBC Junior Welterweight World Championship against heavily favored competitor Junior Witter, the talented boxer is ready to do it all over again.

In a recent interview with mydesert.com, the talented boxer credits USANA supplements in addition to a vegan diet for his increased energy, three percent body fat, faster metabolism, and overall “cleansed, lighter and healthier” feeling about his body.

Do you have any of these symptoms?

Do you ever wake up in the morning feeling tired? Feeling like you could use another hour of sleep?

Do you ever feel like taking a nap around two or three o'clock in the afternoon?

Have you ever come home from work slumped into the recliner in front of the television, grabbed the remote control and hoped that somebody would bring you food
before you fall asleep?

Do you get easily tired, frustrated, and fatigued? Are you under a lot of stress and simply have a lack of energy to get you through the day?

Do you have aches and pains in your body like so many people do nowadays?

Do you have trouble sleeping?

Do you suffer from a serious health problem you have been unable to resolve even with proper medical care?

If you answer yes to one, two or all of the questions above, then USANA is right for you.

To maintain health, we need a diversity of vitamins, minerals, bioflavonoids, and other nutrients. Although we receive many of these nutrients from our diets, it's 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.

Why are USANA products supperior?

Pharmaceutical grade tablets and capsules must meet certain standards for quality as set by the United States Pharmacopeia (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 pharmaceutical manufacturing quality.

USANA voluntarily chooses to manufacture its products according to these rigid quality standards.

The high standards of manufacturing may be the primary factor that separates USANA from other nutritional supplement companies. In 1994, the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) was enacted by the United States Congress. Within this act, Nutritional Supplements were reclassified from "food" status to a new category called "Dietary Supplements" (DS). Because of DSHEA, certain changes were made to regulate dietary supplements differently than food. The first noticeable change effected the way DS were labeled. The "Nutritional Facts" panel seen on foods was changed to a "Supplement Facts" panel on DS. You may notice DS labels do not declare calories, fat, carbohydrates, or proteins. Dietary supplements do, however, declare nutrient values for vitamins, minerals, herbs, etc.

The second change allowed dietary supplement makers to include health claims (normally associated with drugs) that were not permitted for foods. For example, the FDA originally approved only 4 health claims for foods (including the link between high fiber and a reduction in cancer risk, calcium and osteoporosis, etc.) Under DSHEA, dietary supplement products could extend health claims in the area of structure/function (i.e. vitamin E nutritionally supports good cardiovascular function).

The last change effected by DSHEA concentrated on DS quality. Directed by DSHEA, the FDA was to establish GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) guidelines for the dietary supplement industry and model the rules after existing Food GMP regulations. (GMP is the minimum quality expectation for a given product used by the consumer.) Since 1994, the FDA has not fully established and/or enforced GMP regulations for dietary supplements, meaning that DS products are currently monitored only under food GMPs.

When looking at the two current regulations (Food GMP vs. Drug GMP), there are several dramatic distinctions. We will use a pizza vs. penicillin analogy to help illustrate this point.

(If you want to research the differences yourself, or just verify the next statements, you can find these rules in the Code of Federal Regulations - 21 CFR 110 (Food), 21 CFR 210 and 211 (Drug).)

Food GMPs focus more on products as "safe" food items. Basically, they ensure that no poisons or pathogenic biological elements are introduced into the finished product. Food GMPs do not mandate you test each batch or its ingredients for these harmful elements. The only actual stipulations for a manufacturer are: 1) that they use ingredients generally recognized as safe for human use, and 2) that they maintain good hygienic practices. For example, when you order a pizza, the maker uses flour, yeast, salt, water, tomato paste, and cheese. It is not necessary to test these ingredients individually for safety because they are all generally recognized as safe. Provided the chef runs a clean shop, they are fully compliant with food GMPs.

Since dietary supplements are regulated under food GMPs, it has created numerous problems for the industry. Remember: food GMPs do not mandate that finished dietary supplement products - or ingredients used in DS products - be tested to verify label claims. Consequently, if you manufacture a 100 mg vitamin C product, under the current law you are not required to test the vitamin C raw material or the finished product to verify that it actually contains 100 mg of vitamin C. Many manufactures do not go to the added expense of testing this because it is not required.

As a result, cheap, low-grade, non-potent dietary supplement products have flooded the marketplace. Many independent studies and recent news articles have illustrated this quality problem by highlighting less than stellar results from tests of commonly retailed products. Indeed, the newly proposed GMP rules for DSHEA may not stop these practices. Unfortunately, the few manufacturers that have strict standards, such as USANA, are unfairly compared to those who only follow food GMPs.

Do you expect a different level of quality for penicillin than you do for pizza? Of course! Because of this difference in expectation, drug GMPs are much more restrictive. Remember that food GMPs are only focused on safety; drug GMPs, in contrast, are focused not only on safety, but also on potency, purity, and efficacy. Drug GMPs mandate ingredient (raw material) testing for each of these four categories. It also mandates safety, potency, purity and efficacy testing on each batch of finished product.

Similarly, hygienic practices are more restrictive under drug GMPs. Additional metrics - such as uniformity, validation, process controls, and stability - are required. These terms are never discussed under food GMPs and are only applicable under drug GMPs.

The foundation of USANA's product quality is pharmaceutical GMPs. We do not endorse the philosophy of other dietary supplements manufacturers who only adhere to food-level GMPs. It would be irresponsible for USANA to do extensive research to develop high-quality products and then meet inferior manufacturing guidelines for those products.

And there you have it, that is one of the reasons why USANA products are supperior than any other dietary supplements available on the market. To benefit from these wonderful products, simply click here. If you are interested in selling USANA products, click here to enroll.
