As a lifelong athlete, I have always been an advocate for health and nutrition,
and I am always looking for those products that can improve my performance. I started taking the Usana nutritionals in the summer of 2006. I was in the middle of triathlon season, with a couple big races approaching. In addition, I was planning to train for my first ironman distance race the following
year, and knew that I needed a way to get me through the months of long, rigorous
workouts. I decided to try Usana as I heard about them through a friend who claimed they
were a superior product, of the highest quality, bioavailability and purity.
I noticed incredible differences within the first two weeks! I was breezing through my long workouts, recovering much quicker and more completely
between workouts, and re-energized for the next training session. I also just felt better in general – sleeping better, more energy, better appetite. I was completely sold! I immediately started telling everyone I knew, especially my fellow athletes
about the products and what they had done for me. I also made the obvious choice to become a Usana associate.
In the last two years while taking the Usana products, I have been continually
amazed at the improvements in my race times – for all my events. I have taken 18 minutes off my marathon time, 17 minutes off my half ironman
triathlon time, 6 minutes off my sprint triathlon time, and several seconds off
my swimming times in all strokes. I feel stronger than ever!
As far as the ironman….I was unable to complete the race last year as I was seriously
injured early last season. In May of 2007, I was struck by a car while cycling. I suffered a compression fracture in my lower vertebrae which sidelined me for
the entire season and left me with a 10% permanent total disability. Normally, an injury of this nature and magnitude would have required surgery
to correct, or at the very least, months of back braces and physical therapy. I was able to heal extremely quickly with no surgery or therapy and very little
medical attention. My orthopedic specialist was in awe! I am convinced that Usana’s nutritional supplements were a key factor in my healing
so completely and quickly and getting back in the game. I am again training for the ironman, which will take place on October 25th!
Usana has truly changed my life. As a consumer of their products, I can honestly say I have never felt better
or stronger in my life. As an independent associate, I have taken huge steps toward
financial freedom. And the best part is, along the way, I have helped many people,
just like me, to do exactly the same – experience true health and true wealth. Won’t you join me?
USANA Health Sciences formulates exceptional, science-based nutritional and personal-care
products. However, inferior manufacturing can destroy even the greatest product
formulations. For this reason, USANA manufactures its own nutritional supplements,
and voluntarily meets pharmaceutical Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). Pharmaceutical
GMP standards are far more stringent than the food GMP requirements set by the
U.S. government for supplements.
To adhere to the exacting standards of pharmaceutical GMP, and to ensure the
quality of every product manufactured, USANA inspects all raw ingredients before
they are mixed, tests the product during manufacturing, and performs a final analysis
before any product is sent to the customer. USANA's Quality Assurance team keeps
track of every detail, from careful testing and evaluation of raw materials, to
meticulous product shipping and storage. Visitors to USANA's corporate headquarters
can take a self-guided tour to see USANA's manufacturing process firsthand.
