Essentials' Difference (nutrition and vitamin information).
Designed to be taken with Mega Health Antioxidant for maximum benefit. Together Mega Antioxidant and Chelated Mineral Essentials composes the USANA Essentials™ for adults. (What vitamins are good for adults)
Chelated Mineral Difference
Formulated without iron
Minerals and trace minerals represents less than one-half of one percent of the total nutrients we consume everyday. Yet, without them (nutrition minerals vitamins) our bodies would be unable to efficiently use carbohydrates, proteins and fats in our diets. many vitamins and enzymes need a mineral co-factor to function properly.
The Chelated Mineral supplement in ESSENTIALS is a carefully formulated balance of essential minerals and ultra trace minerals sourced from the highest quality suppliers in forms readily absorbed by the body.
Zinc: A component of hundreds of enzymes (found in Essentails), zinc is involved in carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism, as well as DNA and RNA replication. Zinc functions as an antioxidant, aids in retaining healthy bone structure development, healthy immune system, and healthy vision, and supports normal fetal growth.
Selenium (Vitamins):Selenium ( found in the USANA Essentials) is an essential component of the glutathione peroxidase antioxidant system, which helps combat the effects of free radicals and plays an important role in thyroid hormone metabolism. Selenium is also known to help support a healthy immune system. In addition, many studies have shown that selenium is important in retaining prostate health.
Magnesium: Magnesium in the USANA Essentails, is essential for the formulation and maintenance of healthy bones and teeth, which is where 70 percent of the body's magnesium is found. It is involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates and amino acids and plays an important role in neuromuscular contractions. It is also an activator of hundreds of enzymes essential for life.
Vitamins Chromium: Today's poor diets and lifestyles often puts stress on the body's blood sugar control mechanisms. Chromium is an important component of the glucose tolerance factor (GTF), which helps to retain healthy glucose metabolism, provided if its healthy to begin with. Healthy insulin and glucose levels are beneficial for weight management (diet vitamins)and sustained energy levels throughout the day.
Iodine: Iodine is a crucial component of thyroid hormones, which regulates metabolism, growth, reproduction, and the synthesis of proteins. Supplemental iodine is especially important to people on a vegetarian diet, those who avoid seafood, or those who must restrict their salt intakes. This is found in optimum levels in USANA Essentials.
Copper: Copper is a crucial component of the enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD), is an important antioxidant in cell cytoplasm, and acts as a catalyst in the formation of hemoglobin. Copper is also essential for collagen synthesis and is found in USANA ESSENTIALS..
Manganese: Manganese is an important co-factor in the production of glycosaminoglycans, compounds that make up connective tissues, bones, arteries, and other organs. Manganese is an activator of numerous enzymes, and supplementation with manganese can enhance the SOD enzyme system to increase antioxidant activity.
Vanadium: Vanadium helps supports healthy serum glucose levels, provided they are healthy to begin with, and may also help retain healthy thyroid function.

Optimal combination of USANA Coenzyme Q10 and alpha-lipoic acid to support healthy cardiovascular function.
Who can benefit from CoQuinone?
People whose heart or muscle health is a priority,
Athletes and those who work requires constant muscular exertion,
Older people whose natural ability to synergise CoQ10 has diminished.
Health Basics in Usana CoQuinone
USANA Coquinone is central to robust energy production within the cell
USANA CoQuinone provides ingredients vital for cardiovascular health, sound muscle function and healthy nerve function.
A powerful antioxidant blend
CoQuinone 30 Difference
USANA CoQuinone: Clinically proven to deliver more CoQ10 (CoQuinone™) to the blood stream than competing products.
The energy that every cell needs to function is produced through a complex process in teh mitochrondria, organelles within the cells. Within the mitochondria cells store energy in a molecule called adenosine-5-triphosphate, or ATP, which is synthesized and used by every cell in the body.
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is an essential part of the electron transport chain the mitochondria use to make ATP. CoQuinone 30 dietary supplements was developed to deliver high quality, highly bioavailable CoQ10 (CoQuinone™) to the cells to support the production of ATP.
Cells with the highest energy demands, such as in the heart, have the highest levels of CoQ10, which has been studied for years in UNITED STATES, Europe, and Japan for its role in producing cellular energy for the heart and other muscles. Several human clinical trials demonstate CoQ10's effectiveness in maintainance of good heart function.
Antioxidant protection
A byproduct in the energy production in the mitochondria is the formation of damaging free radicals. Nature has designed a molecule in CoQ10 or CoQuinone™ that is remarkable because it not only assists in ATP production, it also works in concert with other antioxidants to clean up the free radicals that are produced during that process and protects against their damaging effects. As an antioxidant, it rivals vitamins E and C. In addition, CoQ10 or CoQuinone™ helps to regenerate and recycle vitamin E.
Alpha Lipioc Acids
Alpha lipioc acid is another component involved in the mitochondrail energy metabolism and recycling oxidized CoQ10. This system also helps to regenerate and recycle other antioxidants, including vitamin E and C and glutathione.
Do You Need CoQ10 (CoQuinone™)?
As we age, the ability to absorb and synthesize CoQuinone™ diminishes and the amount of CoQ10 retained in tissues decreases. In addition, CoQ10 may be depleted by several other factors, including over nutritional status and inadequate levels of B vitamins, vitamin C, and selenium. Excessive exercise ande enviromental stress such as illness, extreme weather may also lower CoQ10 levels in tissues.
Why CoQuinone30?
CoQuinone 30 supplies a combination of coenzyme Q10 and alpha lipioc acid formutaled for maximum bioavailability.
Its proprietary formula is clinically proven to deliver more CoQ10 than competing products.
It is effective, safe, and manufactured to pharmaceutical quality.
USANA CoQuinone 30 contains a full 30 mg of CoQ10 and 12.5 mg of alpha lipioc acid per soft gel capsule. USANA's unique formulation provides these important antioxidants in a natural mixture of licithin and vegetable-derived glycerin monooleate in a base of medium chain triglycerides.
Clinical tests performed in USANA's laboratories show that USANA's CoQuinone 30 delivers CoQ10 in much higher quantities than from solid formulations or from competitive liquid formulations, making CoQuinone 30 more bioavailable than any other CoQ10 products.
How to use USANA CoQuinone
Take one (1) or two (2) tablets spread evenly throughout the day.

USANA's BiOmega supplement is produced from cold water, deep-sea fish oil and contains a balanced, concentrated daily dose of two important omega-3 fatty acids: eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in two convenient capsules per day.
Vitamin D
Most purification processes for fish oil remove any vitamin D from teh product. Yet, experts now widely believe that a majority of people are not getting enough vitamin D, which has been shown to have many health benefits, such as supporting bone health and healthy lung function. BiOmega is fortified with vitamin D3 to supply an additional 200IU per day.
Why BiOmega Vitamins Capsules?
In spite of clear benefits of including fish in the diet, health authorities have warned us to limit the intake of certain species of fish due to concerns about potential contaminants, especially during pregnancy or for pregnant mothers.
Manufactured in a state of the art facility, USANA's BiOmega is vertually 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.
BiOmega is one of the purest, highest quality fish oil products available on the market today.

Your eyes are your window to 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.
As we age, there is a general decline in acuity of vision. One of the most important reasons for the loss of visual acuity over time is the damage caused by environmental factors. 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.
Caring for your eyes
There are things that we can do to maintain eye health.
Firstly, we can reduce the amount of damaging environmental effects we subject our eyes to each day. For example, we can minimize 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.
Secondly, today’s lifestyles and working conditions result in ever-increasing demand for defense from oxidative damage. We can help to maintain proper functioning of our eyes by providing nutritional supplementation, especially antioxidants to counter free-radical damage.
Natural Maintenance
What we actually “see” with the eyes are the patterns of light that strike the retina, a light-sensitive layers of cells at the back of the eye. In the centre of the retina is the macula, where the light rays are mostly highly focused and visual acuity is the highest. This central portion of retina contains a yellow pigment called the macular pigment. This pigment helps protect the sensitive receptors in the retina, particularly from the potentially harmful effects of blue light.
Plants must expose their leaves to the direct sun to conduct photosynthesis, and they protect themselves from the harmful effects of the sun’s radiation with chemicals called cartenoids. Similarly, our eyes receive optimal health maintenance from the antioxidant cartenoids, lutein and zeaxanthin, which make up the macular pigment. The macula is especially vulnerable to oxidative damage because it has a high metabolic rate and because the energetic radiation (short wavelength light) focused on it enhances the production of free radicals.
Lutein
While the roles lutein and zeaxanthin play in the physiology of the eye are not completely known, the links between lutein and eye health are so strong that several national and regional health organizations have recommended the increase of dietary lutein.
Lutein is believed to function in two ways,
first as a filter of high-energy blue light, and
second as an antioxidant that quenches light-induced free radicals and reactive oxygen species.
Zeaxanthin
Zeaxanthin, a yellow cartenoid, is a modified form of lutein. In the eye, lutein is predominant in the periphery of the macula while the concentration of zeaxanthin is greatest in the very centre. This is where conditions most favour the formation of free radicals, and zeaxanthin is thought to be an even more powerful antioxidant than lutein.
In addition to lutein and zeaxanthin, the Visionex formulation contains these three important nutritional aids to eye health.
Vitamin C: Vitamin C provides additional antioxidant protection especially to the lens of the eye, where the concentration of vitamin C in the lens is 20 times that found in the blood.
Zinc: Zinc appears to provide an additive effect to antioxidants in promoting good visual acuity.
The comprehensive formulation of Visionex is designed to support long-term eye health, especially when combined with preventive measures against exposure of the eyes to harmful environmental influences.
Why Use USANA's Visionex
Visionex is a laboratory tested, quality guaranteed. Meets British Pharmacopoeia specifications for potency, uniformity and disintegration where applicable.
How To Use USANA Visionex
Adults take two (2) Visionex tablets daily, preferably with meals.
