Usana Optimizers

Proflavanol

90 Tablets / Bottle

  • Provides a potent antioxidant formula based on a synergistic combination of grape seed bioflavonoids and POLY C®
  • May help maintain capillary strength and vascular function and help maintain healthy immune function
  • Designed and manufactured according to USP and pharmaceutical GMP guidelines

It is a paradox of life. We require oxygen for efficient energy production and for the function of many metabolic pathways. And yet oxygen, in a variety of chemical forms collectively known as "reactive oxygen species" (ROS), is toxic to our cells and tissues. Elevated exposure to ROS creates a physiological imbalance known as oxidative stress. Dietary antioxidants are a primary line of defence against oxidative stress.


CoQuinone

56 Soft-gel Capsules/Bottle

  • Provides antioxidant protection
  • Contains CoQ10 and alpha lipoic acid in a highly bioavailable formula

The energy that every cell needs to function is produced through a complex process in the mitochondria, an organelle within the cell, often called the cellular powerhouse. Cells store energy in a molecule called adenosine-5-triphosphate, or ATP. CoQ10 is an essential part of the electron transport chain used to make ATP. Thus ATP is synthesized and used by every cell in the body. Cells with the highest energy demands contain the highest levels of CoQ10. CoQ10 has been studied for years in the U.S., Europe, and Japan for its role in producing cellular energy.


BiOmega

56 Soft-gel Capsules / Bottle

No nutritional program is complete without a high quality source of beneficial omega-3 fatty acids, which are lacking in the typical Western diet. USANA’s BiOmega™ is produced from cold-water, deep-sea fish oil and contains a balanced, highly concentrated daily dose of two important omega-3 fatty acids: eicosapentanoic acid (EPA) and docosahexanoic acid (DHA) in two convenient capsules per day.

In spite of clear benefits, health authorities have warned us to limit our intake of certain species of fish due to concern about potential contaminants. Manufactured in a state-of-the art facility, USANA’s BiOmega is virtually free of contaminants, which are eliminated through a double-molecular distillation process that ensures the highest possible purity. Through this process, heavy metals, PCBs, pesticides, and organic residues are effectively eliminated. Also free of trans-fatty acids, each capsule contains 2 mg of mixed natural tocopherols to minimize oxidation of the omega-3 fatty acids and maintain product quality during storage. In short, BiOmega is one of the purest, highest quality products available on the market today.

Supplementation with BiOmega is an excellent way to ensure that your diet includes a concentrated balance of safe, healthful EPA and DHA in two convenient capsules per day. And with added natural lemon oil, there is no fishy aftertaste.

  • Supports healthy blood pressure and cholesterol*
  • Contains twice the potency of most fish oil supplements
  • Offers exceptional purity—virtually free of harmful contaminants
  • Contains natural lemon oil that gets rid of fishy aftertaste

Poly C

120 Tablets / Bottle

  • Furnishes an advanced vitamin C supplement based on USANA's proprietary blend of mineral ascorbates
  • Provides 600 mg of vitamin C protection in each tablet for enhanced antioxidant protection
  • Maintains a healthy immune system, supports the synthesis of collagen, and helps support cardiovascular health

POLY C® provides optimal vitamin C protection. POLY C is a unique blend of mineral ascorbates--our secret for a vitamin C supplement--that provides higher levels of vitamin C in the blood than from equal amounts of ascorbic acid.


Procosa® II

120 Tablets / Bottle

  • Provides glucosamine sulphate (2,000 mg/daily dose) to support optimal joint health
  • Formulated with vitamin C, manganese, and silicon, nutrients key to joint health
  • Contains turmeric extract

Every day your joints endure an enormous amount of stress from physical activity, including walking, lifting, and typing. Despite this heavy and constant use, we take our joints for granted and expect them to function trouble-free for several decades. However, more than 50 million people in the U.S. and more than 6 million in Canada suffer from some form of joint problem. The situation is worse for athletes and those who have high amounts of physical stress at work and at home. To help maintain healthy joints, USANA created PROCOSA® II, a product with a blend of glucosamine, manganese, vitamin C, and silicon--the building blocks for healthy cartilage.

THE GIFT OF SIGHTY

our eyes are your window on the world. Outside of good health itself, nothing is more precious than the gift of sight. Everyone sees differently, in part due to differences in the acuity of our vision and the general state of our health, but we owe it to ourselves to do everything we can to maintain optimal vision.

The eyes are not sequestered inside the body as the heart or kidneys are. Except when we are asleep, our eyes are constantly exposed to environmental factors such as air pollution, dryness, and oxidative damage from sunlight.

There are things that we can do to maintain vision. First, we can reduce the amount of damaging environmental effects we subject our eyes to each day. For example, we can minimise exposure to harsh sunlight with quality sunglasses, especially while driving, and if we work at a computer terminal for long periods, breaks of just a minute or two of looking at distant objects can reduce eye strain significantly.

Second, today's lifestyles and working conditions result in ever-increasing demand for defence from oxidative damage. We can help to maintain proper vision by providing nutritional supplementation, especially antioxidants to counter free-radical damage.
