USANA Meets Compliance To New Drug Standards 

SALT LAKE CITY, July 11, 2011 /PRNewswire/ – USANA Health Sciences, Inc. (NYSE: USNA) today announced it has obtained the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s “Drug Establishment Registration,” allowing the company to manufacture over-the-counter (OTC) drugs and holding it to a standard well above what is required of a dietary supplement manufacturer.  While nutritional companies in the United States are not expected to follow pharmaceutical Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs), USANA believed it was an important, logical step to acquire government registration proving their long-standing commitment to producing the highest quality products.

USANA manufactures over 90% of its products in-house, including all of its tableted nutritional supplements.  As an FDA-registered facility, USANA now has the ability to manufacture OTC drugs as well.  All products manufactured under this license will be subject to very rigorous FDA drug manufacturing GMP guidelines going well beyond those required to manufacture nutritional supplements.

“Few companies voluntarily submit themselves to increased scrutiny, but since we operate in 15 countries including Australia, where dietary supplements are highly regulated by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), our base manufacturing standards are extremely high,” says USANA Chief Executive Officer, Dave Wentz. “So while obtaining FDA registration won’t affect our day-to-day operations, it will help further assure our users of the quality of our products.”

For many years USANA has voluntarily modeled our production on pharmaceutical GMPs and consistently obtained third-party certification as a way to ensure the safety and efficacy of its nutritional products.  ”We encourage consumers to check their supplement company’s FDA registration status online and to make sure their supplements are NSF-certified and meet United States Pharmacopeia (USP) standards and specifications,” says USANA Vice President of International Operations, Jim Brown.

Independent testing is an important way for companies to demonstrate the legitimacy of their claims.  A recent ConsumerLab.com study showed that 1 in 3 vitamins are improperly labeled — typically because the product did not contain the amount of nutrients claimed in the label.

“We regularly submit our products for independent testing and diligently maintain our third-party certifications,” says USANA Executive Director of Research and Development, Dr. John Cuomo. “It’s why we have so many loyal users, including several hundred Olympic and professional athletes. Nearly 20 years in business and we’ve never had to issue a recall.”

What are Essentials?

To maintain health, we need a diversity of vitamins, minerals, bioflavonoid, 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 amount, in the right balance and in the correct forms - for all age groups. For this reason, USANA has created Essentials™ to provide the best-rounded supplementation possible - a must for everyone interested in true health. Usana Essentials™ is far more than a just multivitamin as it delivers all 13 vitamins, 12 minerals; trace minerals and over 20 different antioxidants.

Not all bacteria are created equal. Some are nasty and cause disease.

But friendly bacteria are vital for:

(1) Proper development of the immune system,

(2) Protection against microorganisms that can cause disease, and

(3) The digestion and absorption of food and nutrients.

 

Probiotics can help your body grow new colonies of friendly bacteria.

But not all Probiotics are equal, either –

 

The USANA PROBIOTIC PLUS Difference:

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

Your body’s good/bad bacterial "balancing act" can be thrown off in two major ways:

When your body gets a bacterial infection, your doctor prescribes antibiotics to kill bacteria. Trouble is, they kill the good with the bad and impact your body’s capacity to properly digest food. The right mix of Probiotics can offset such side effects of antibiotics like gas, cramping, or diarrhoea. Probiotics can also ease symptoms of lactose intolerance—a condition in which the gut lacks the enzyme needed to digest significant amounts of the major sugar in milk.

 

"Unfriendly" microorganisms such as disease-causing bacteria, yeasts, fungi, and parasites can also upset the balance. Researchers are exploring whether PROBIOTICS could halt these unfriendly agents in the first place and/or suppress their growth and activity in conditions like:

 

 

Generally speaking, there has been a decline in Digestive Health around the world and some factors that contribute to these phenomena include: Lots of Travelling, Stress, Fast Eating, Medication and Bad Habits. Maintaining your digestive health is crucial for maintaining your overall health. With this in mind USANA Health Sciences developed Probiotic Plus.

Questions on USANA’s Probiotic Plus

Probiotic Plus uses a proprietary blend of patented probiotic bacteria which have been proven in clinical studies to support digestive health and immune function.

Each stick pack is filled with 12 billion viable bacteria in a 50/50 mixture of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG, LGG ® and Bifidobacterium BB-12 ®. These strains of bacteria survive passage through the stomach exceptionally well, and colonise the intestines effectively.

 

The recommended dosage for healthy people is one stick every day, or every alternate day. There is no ‘best time’ to take the product, so you may do so when it is convenient.

 

3 What is the right way to take USANA’s Probiotic Plus?

 The most convenient way is to take Probiotic Plus straight from the stick pack. Otherwise, you may mix the content of the pack with FibergyTM, NutrimealTM, water, juices, or any cold beverage, and drink immediately. Sprinkling it on food is also acceptable.

 

4  Can I take Probiotic Plus with a hot drink?
We do not recommend doing so, because high temperature can destroy some of the live bacteria.

 

5  Why do you suggest I take Probiotic Plus immediately after mixing it in a drink?

The product may lose some of its benefits if it is left to sit for an extended period after it has been mixed in a liquid.

 

6  Should I keep my Probiotic Plus refrigerated?

The product is stable and keeps its effectiveness for 18 months at room temperature (25° C). Refrigerating is recommended if you live in a hot climate. Moreover, refrigeration can extend the product’s shelf life beyond 18 months.

 

7 Does USANA’s Probiotic Plus contain prebiotics too?

Each pack of Probiotic Plus comes with a small amount of inulin, a prebiotic. You can obtain more prebiotics (inulin and oligofructose) from USANA’s Nutrimeal, making these great complementary products.

  

 

8 Should I give Probiotic Plus to my child?

Probiotic Plus is recommended as a dietary supplement for adults.  If you intend to use Probiotic Plus on a child who has diarrhea or is on antibiotics, please consult with your physician. Infants younger than 13 months should not use probiotics.

 

9  Can diabetics take Probiotic Plus ?

 Probiotic Plus does not contain carbohydrates or sugars in any amount that will affect blood-sugar level. Nevertheless, it is always advisable for those under medication to consult their doctors when starting on a dietary supplement.

10 Is Probiotic Plus suitable for vegetarians and vegans?

 Probiotic bacteria are naturally present in many foods such as miso, tofu and tempeh that are eaten by vegetarians. There is, however, a small amount of milk powder in Probiotic Plus – so it will not be suitable for those who strictly avoid milk in their diet.
