Public health scientists have found new evidence of the threats posed by our toxic environment to our cellular health. The air we breathe, the water we drink, even the foods we eat contain substances that may be damaging to our cells. Any tissue that is exposed to the environment, including the skin and the linings of the respiratory and gastrointestinal passages, is especially vulnerable.
Myron Wentz, Ph.D. (immunology and microbiology), founder and chairman of USANA Health Sciences, hypothesizes that foods with high peroxide values, especially processed, fatty foods, generate free radicals that in turn damage healthy cells. Researchers believe that supplementary antioxidants are necessary for combating these free radicals in addition to the body’s normal defence systems.
“The human body is made of cells, and those cells work together to sustain your life,” Dr. Wentz says. “Taking antioxidants with food may help reduce the formation of oxidized lipids.” Other medical professionals concur on the importance of supplementation.
With a family of hundreds of thousands currently supplementing their diets with USANA products,
USANA Health Sciences remains committed to its focus on science. Having modeled its quality program after similar programs used in the pharmaceutical
industry, USANA is able to confidently assure every customer that its products are of the highest quality.
Led today by Dr. Wentz’ son and protégé, Dave Wentz, as well as a highly skilled management team, USANA continues to expand throughout the world, improving the lives of countless numbers of individuals in the process.
“My father started USANA Health Sciences with a focused vision of freeing the world from pain and suffering,” Dave declares. “He envisioned a world where people experienced physical health, emotional well-being, and financial stability. He wanted to give his family and families of thousands of others the means to enjoy life to its fullest in happiness and health. To accomplish this, he enlisted the help of many Associates who shared USANA’s vision and wanted to help make the world a healthier place.”
Take Charge of Your HealthUSANA offers the solution to the modern world’s health risks
Healthy human cells in culture
Laboratory experience and analysis indicate that certain types of
healthy cells in culture may survive indefinitely
when “nutriented” properly and protected
from harmful toxins.
Cells after adding digested products from a fatty meal
Cellular damage is caused by oxidized
lipids from fatty food. Consider that such
damage could occur throughout the body.
Similar cells when antioxidants
are included
Antioxidants provide a marked improvement
in inhibiting cellular damage from oxidizable foods. Healthier eating
habits are your first line of defence.
Dave Wentz, CEO, & Dr. Myron Wentz, Founder and Chairman of the Board

USANA verifies each production batch so that what you read on a product label is what you’ll receive in the product.

NSF Certification: USANA Now Certified for Sport™
USANA’s Salt Lake City, Utah, manufacturing facility has been certified to be in compliance with GMP requirements set forth for dietary supplements by NSF International, an independent, not-for-profit organization that helps protect public health by writing standards for food, water, air, and consumer goods. Even more, USANA recently received certification of six of its products through NSF International’s Certified for Sport™ program. NSF’s independent certification helps athletes make educated decisions about the safety of the dietary supplements they choose to take.
Jennifer Botterill Olympic Gold Medalist, Canadian National
Women’s Hockey Team
“As athletes, we are continuously pushing ourselves and demanding a lot from our bodies each and every day. USANA Essentials™ and Optimizers supplements have been a great addition to my lifestyle and an important part of looking after myself. They help me sustain my energy, and they allow me to perform at my best!”
The World Health Organization (WHO) warns that cancer, heart disease, and other chronic conditions, which already kill more than 24 million people a year, will impose increasing burdens of suffering and disability on hundreds of millions of others.

HealthPakTM
The most convenient way to get your daily dose of nutrition
USANA’s HealthPak™ is a nutritional supplement pack that offers a comprehensive daily supplement regimen with a full daily dose of the Essentials, bone-supporting nutrients from Active Calcium Plus™, and antioxidants in the exclusive AO Booster™ tablet. Each box contains 56 individually wrapped packets containing two Mega Antioxidant, two MultiMineral Plus, one Active Calcium Plus, and one AO Booster, providing you with optimal and balanced antioxidant activity—day and night.
The USANA®
Essentials™ with Patented OlivolTM: The Most Complete Multivitamin System on the Market The USANA Essentials, which include Mega Antioxidant and MultiMineral Plus, form the basis for the entire USANA nutritional system.
The Right Ingredients (Comprehensive Formula)USANA has redefined the meaning of essential nutrients to include not only those that are required to prevent acute nutrient deficiency, but also nutrients that have been linked in recent research to the maintenance of optimal health.
The Heart of the OliveTM
Many dietary antioxidants, such as vitamin C, vitamin E, bioflavonoids, carotenoids, and proanthocyanidins, are present and numerous in many dietary sources. But unlike these readily available antioxidants, the phenolic antioxidants concentrated in Olivol olive extract are found only in olive fruit. Because olives provide the only dietary sources of these powerful antioxidants, the benefits of olive fruit and olive oil consumption are extensive.
The Essentials—Mega Antioxidant and MultiMineral Plus— are the only products on the market that contain Olivol,
USANA’s patented olive-fruit extract.
USANA offers an individualized health assessment to analyze your biometrics, lifestyle, and health priorities, and define which USANA products are right for you. Get your personalized product recommendations at www.usanahaa.com.
Unrivaled Nutrition, Unmatched ValueSave $1,200 a month with USANA’s EssentialsThe Essentials provide a broad spectrum of vital vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants—more than can easily be obtained from the average Canadian diet. Take a look at the food—about 22,000 calories worth—you’d have to eat to get the same nutrients found in a daily dose of the Essentials. Plus, it would cost you more than $44 to fill your grocery cart with the items needed to obtain these nutrients. The Essentials, meanwhile, cost just 26 cents per tablet—or $2.10 per day. That’s a difference of more than $40 per day or $1,200 a month! While USANA supplements are not a replacement for eating a balanced diet, they do provide a convenient way to supplement your diet to help ensure you get the nutrients you need to maintain optimal health.

Advanced DosesThe USANA Essentials contain higher levels of almost all the essential vitamins and minerals listed in the Canadian RDI (Recommended Daily Intake), providing levels associated with more optimal health.
Balanced Formula (A Synergy of Nutrients)The formulations of the USANA Essentials were painstakingly designed to allow the components to work in concert to achieve a synergy of optimal health benefits and safety.
The Correct Form (Highly Bioavailable)At USANA, every effort is made to obtain the highest quality ingredients with dependable levels of potency. In addition, every step of the manufacturing process is subject to exacting quality control. All this ensures that the full benefits of these essential nutrients are available to the user.
“As a practicing clinical pharmacist, I have a tendency to think very skeptically about the products I come across. However, when I researched USANA® products, I found that they were safe, effective, and of the highest quality. That is why I trust USANA.”

Research clearly shows that many young adults do not get the nutrition they need, and their poor nutrition can lead to health problems such as diabetes and osteoporosis later in life. Poor nutrition during the developmental years can retard growth and delay sexual maturation, while proper nutrition helps to give young adults the foundation for good health for the rest of their lives. To provide their bodies with adequate amounts of all the essential nutrients, young adults and their parents should follow a well-balanced, proactive nutritional plan that includes high-quality vitamin and mineral supplementation.
Usanimals™
Usanimals include vitamins C and E, two powerful antioxidants, in addition to an antioxidant phytonutrient blend of blackberry, cranberry, raspberry, and wild blueberry fruit powders in a wild berry flavour and animal shapes. USANA uses only natural flavours and sweeteners.
Body Rox™
Body Rox is specifically formulated to meet the nutritional demands of young adults. It contains Olivol, rutin, quercetin, hesperidin, grape-seed extract, green-tea extract, turmeric extract, lutein, and lycopene.
Active Calcium Chewable™
Because this product is chewable, it appeals to people who might not otherwise consider supplementing their diet with calcium. Active Calcium Chewable helps in the maintenance of healthy bones and teeth.

USANA For All Generations
In the breathtakingly beautiful region of Lac Saint-Jean, isolated nearly 480 kilometres northeast of Montreal, Québec, and in a region devastated by the current economic and forestry crises, Robin Tremblay and Annie Poitras stand at the head of an international business. And business is good.
“Most people here, including me, considered financial success to be something reserved for people in big cities,” Robin admits. But after taking USANA products and realizing the benefit that they provided, Robin and Annie decided to become entrepreneurs and start their own USANA business.
“More than just having financial freedom, we have really been able to change our lives for the better because of USANA,” Robin says. “And we are able to help others improve their health and open their eyes to a brighter financial future. No matter where you are in the world, success is always within reach.”
USANA Scientific Advisory Council The Scientific Advisory Council members were selected for their exceptional expertise in nutritional medicine and preventive nutrition. Representing physicians and health-care professionals throughout the world who recommend USANA to their patients, they also provide USANA with valuable insights into product applications and efficacy. USANA works with the Scientific Advisory Council on a regular basis to review formulas and get suggestions for how our customers can best incorporate our products into comprehensive lifestyle programs promoting health and wellness.
Scientists Discover Solutions to Maintain Your Health Nutrition research is more than the study of nutrients. It also encompasses research in related areas. Dr. Wentz, in his vision to champion the science of nutrition, has gathered scientists from varying fields of expertise, most of whom have published numerous papers in their careers.
USANA’s current scientific staff includes experts on human nutrition, cellular biology, biochemistry, natural product chemistry, and clinical research. Scientific results from a variety of sources, including published scientific literature, in-house laboratory research, and collaborative clinical studies, are all incorporated into product development and design.

After being involved in several different business ventures, Serge Morissette realized that he wanted something more. “Nothing I did before allowed me to create something to support my family and myself in my later years.” He then discovered the USANA opportunity. “Today, I can take advantage of a residual income and a quality of life I had only dreamed of.”

“I love sharing USANA with people from all walks of life and every cultural background. Talking to people was challenging at first until I learned to break through my own resistance and fear. When we’re confident in USANA and respectful of others as we connect with them about our opportunity, building our business can be immensely gratifying.
“Everyone knows the USANA income potential is spectacular. I am committed to showing both benefits USANA provides equally: true health and financial freedom. With my success, I feel obligated to share USANA’s message to others. Most people today have the appearance of wealth, but that is not enough to retire on. Dr. Wentz has given us a solid way to deal with the two main causes of human suffering, and I am committed to sharing his vision of physical and financial health with everyone.”
Kimberly Rowe, Langley, British Columbia
“I used to dream about being the mom that dropped her kids off at school and headed off to the gym for a regular workout. Now, I am that mom! My USANA business flows around my
busy family schedule and has given us an income I would never have created in my previous career.”

“Freedom Is My Ultimate Journey”Leanne Grechulk Burlington, Ontario
“So many of us are busy being busy,” says Leanne Grechulk while reflecting on her life before starting her own USANA business. “I realized that I spent a large portion of my time and energy on things that just didn’t matter to me.” Now, after finding success with USANA, Leanne is able to spend her time and energy however she chooses.
“When the opportunity was presented to me, I realized that the worst-case scenario would be that I would be taking the best nutritionals on the planet and supporting my health. The best-case scenario would be taking part in a business that would lead to financial independence. There really wasn’t anything else to consider!”
Making that decision has meant opening up a world of success and opportunities for Leanne. She is also able to help others create this true freedom in their own lives. “Freedom is my ultimate journey,” she says, “and there is nothing else that can offer the time, health, emotional, and financial freedom that USANA can.”
Why the USANA Opportunity Is the Right Choice
In my 30-year career of studying and counseling high-performance professionals and organizations, I have discovered specific criteria that drive the best of the best:
• A distinct quality advantage over competitors in products, services, and management
• An investment in research and development to stay on the cutting edge and maintain superiority
• A clear mission that inspires every team member to strive for excellence
• Compensation and rewards based on individual effort and productivity
• A rock solid, dynamic business with resources and staying power to thrive in a challenging, changing global market
• Growth and profitability achieved with integrity to create the ultimate bottom line
USANA offers all of that, plus a proven direct marketing model destined to be the world-class standard in the new era of professional and social networking. I encourage you to take control of your own future and consider the USANA opportunity.

FROM A LIFE OF DEBT TO A LIFE OF DREAMS
Tim & Karen ShumkaDelta, British Columbia Karen and Tim Shumka did not intend to wake up in their mid 30s living paycheque to paycheque and paying credit card minimums with other credit cards. Nor did they intend to have their income hinder the dreams of their children. But that was their reality in 2004. “Our 9-year-old daughter wanted a horse and we just laughed,” Karen admits. “Debt was not only limiting Tim’s and my dreams, but it was shutting down our kids’ dreams too. It wasn’t until that moment that I realized that the solution was right there in our home.”
The Shumkas had been using USANA® products for five years when Karen realized that by simply recommending the products to others, she could begin making some of the extra income that their family needed. From there, her motivation, and then her income, continued to grow. “It was clear to me that by creating a strong USANA business, we could not only resolve our financial concerns, but we could lead a healthier lifestyle and have more time with those we love.”
“It is amazing the freedom that USANA has given us,” Tim says. “The freedom to golf with our kids, the freedom to rarely miss a hockey game, the freedom to volunteer and shape our community—it all comes down to having more of our most valuable resource, time.”
“Oh, and by the way,” Karen adds, “our daughter now owns an amazing horse.”

Why a Home-Based Business Makes So Much “Cents”There are many reasons why so many people favour home-based businesses over something more traditional. There is no commute, no boss, lower overhead, few employees if any, and far fewer government restrictions. In fact, many of the laws don’t apply to small firms that have few or no employees. In addition to all the benefits mentioned above, if your home-based business produces a tax loss in the first year or so, you can use that tax loss against any other income you have. It can be used against wages earned as an employee, dividends, pensions, or interest income—or you can use the loss against your spouse’s earnings if you file a joint return. The light at the end of the tunnel, for you and millions of others today, is the financial opportunity that starting your own business offers. The tax advantage alone can make a home-based business the single best financial move you’ve ever made.
Please consult your legal or tax advisor for specific information pertaining to your personal situation.

you are simultaneously building Business Centre 001 without additional effort. With 3 Business Centres, you build balanced legs on two Business Centres and earn commissions on three.
At the bottom of Figure 5, you will see that your 002 and 003 Business Centres each have 1,000 points in GSV on the left side and 1,000 points on the right. According to the Commission Payout Schedule, the highest balanced GSV is 1,000, earning you 200 commission points for the week in the 002 and 003 Business Centres. Your 001 Business Centre would earn the same 400 points as compared to the one Business Centre on the top of Figure 5. That’s an 800-point commission for you—twice the commission for the week.
Associate prices, but they do not accumulate PSV, nor are they paid commissions. Although you do not earn retail commissions from the orders of Preferred Customers, their orders earn points, which are added to your GSV total for the side in which they are placed (left or right). Those Associates who choose not to be Distributors, and thus do not retail products, fulfill their sales requirements through Preferred Customers.
Additional Income PotentialAs you become increasingly successful selling USANA’s nutritional and personal-care products, you can qualify for Re-Entry Certificates, which allow you to increase your number of Business Centres and your income potential. Whenever you maximize a Business Centre (accumulate 5,000 points in GSV, current and carryover, in both your left and right sides in a single week), you earn a Re-Entry Certificate (Figure 4). A Re-Entry Certificate allows you to re-enter in your own downline with an additional Business Centre. To activate a Business Centre with a Re-Entry Certificate, you send a written request to USANA with placement information and generate 200 points in PSV at the time you place the new Re-Entry. The product order corresponding to the PSV generated must be attached to the placement information. You can earn up to two Re-Entry Certificates per Business Centre, and no matter how many Business Centres you activate, it only takes 200 points in PSV in your 001 Business Centre within each four-week period to keep all of them active.
Doubling Commissions with 3 Business CentresAs illustrated in Figure 5, you can see the difference between building a business with 1 Business Centre versus 3 Business Centres. As you build Business Centres 002 and 003,
USANA’s Income-Producing Business Plan Is Revolutionizing How People Create WealthThe USANA Binary Compensation PlanThe USANA Binary Compensation Plan is a binary system in which you build balanced left-side and right-side downline organizations for the purpose of selling USANA’s nutritional and personal-care products. The weekly commissions you earn are based on the balanced Group Sales Volume (GSV) points accumulated in your left-side and right-side downline organizations. USANA Business Centres are designed to pay you weekly commissions on Sales Volume with no limit to the number of levels from which you can earn your commissions. In addition, a USANA Business Centre allows you to be paid on the Sales Volume created by your downline Associates and Preferred Customers. Another powerful advantage of USANA’s program is that there are no monthly group volume requirements. The income you receive from USANA will be in direct proportion to your ability to retail USANA’s products to your customers, as well as your ability to build an organization of Associates who, like you, retail to their customers and build an organization of Associates.
Starting a Business CentreYour sponsor places you in an open position in his or her sales organization (Figure 1). This open position is called a Business Centre (BC). Each Business Centre has left and right sides in which Sales Volume accumulates. You activate and earn commissions on 1 or 3 Business Centres by following a few simple steps:
A. Complete an Associate Application form and purchase a Business Development System. If you fill out and sign an application manually, you can have a 21-day temporary status by calling USANA Distributor Services or enrolling online while you wait for USANA to receive the written copy.
B. Order USANA products that total 200 points or 400 points in Personal Sales Volume (PSV) to activate 1 Business Centre or 3 Business Centres, respectively. These products may be for personal use and for retail sale, and may be ordered in a single order or accumulated over time.
C. Order USANA products worth 100 or 200 PSV for 3 Business Centres, for personal use and resale every four weeks.
How Business Centres Work to Provide Income for YouAs you begin to build your downline, you have the option to start with 1 Business Centre or 3 Business Centres. One Business Centre gives you direct income from group volume, whereas 3 Business Centres gives you leveraged income from group volume. With 1 Business Centre, as you sponsor Associates you place them in open positions in your downline (Jill and Bob, Figure 1), always remembering to keep the left and right sides balanced. A unique aspect of the binary compensation plan is that you and everyone in your upline are able to build your downline organization because new Associates are always added to your downline. This structure creates a synergy wherein everyone benefits when new
Associates are added. This translates into faster growth for you and for those in your downline organizations. If you choose to personally sponsor more people in USANA, you would place them in an open position under either Jill or Bob, which in turn will help their success. Plus, while you sponsor individuals in your sales organization, someone in your upline may also sponsor an Associate and position him or her on the left or right side of your Business Centre. However, your success in USANA comes by sponsoring people on your left and right sides, sharing the products with others, and teaching them to do the same.
Calculating CommissionsCommissions are awarded first in commission points, which are converted to the Associate’s local currency. Commissions are paid on whole increments of balanced GSV accumulated in your left and right side organizations (Figure 2). Extra GSV, up to 5,000 points on each side, is carried forward—it’s like money in the bank.
Calculating Commissions with 1 Business CentreAssume that your 001 Business Centre is active and has 100 points in PSV within the current week. To determine the GSV, which is the combined PSV of your downline from which your commission for the week is calculated, you total the points in PSV generated during the current week from every Business Centre in the left and right side of your 001 Business Centre. In Figure 3, you have 2,000 points in GSV on your left side and 2,000 points on your right; your own PSV counts toward the GSV of your upline. According to the Weekly Payout Schedule (Figure 2), your highest balanced GSV is 2,000 on each side, which would earn you a commission of 400 points for the week.
Carryover In Figure 3, you have a total of 3,500 points on your left side and 2,500 points on your right. According to the Weekly Payout Schedule, your highest balanced GSV is 2,000 on each side, equalling 400 points for the week. The extra GSV would carry forward, and you would start the next week with 1,500 points in GSV on your left side and 500 points on your right side.
Preferred CustomerAnother way to accumulate GSV is to add Preferred Customers to the left and right side of your Business Centres (Figure 4). Preferred Customers can order USANA products at

$132,525 is the average yearly income for an established, full-time USANA Associate. $34,513 is the annual average of those who earned as little as one commission cheque each month. Total includes all earnings from the Compensation plan, Leadership Bonus, Matching Bonus, contests and incentives. Calculations based on earnings for fiscal year 2009. Figures should not be considered as guarantees or projections of actual earnings, which result only from consistent, successful sales efforts. To be considered in a rank’s earnings, Associates must have earned cheques at a median rank for at least 20 weeks. According to results from an in-house survey taken between 2004 and 2006, the primary reason 17% of USANA independent business owners join the company is to improve their financial future. 21% of that group earns a cheque at least once a month. Of those whose primary reason is to earn enough to replace a full-time income, 90% have been Associates for at least one year and 57% are full-time Gold Directors and above. The number of Gold Directors and above who have maxed at least 1 Business Centre during the year equals less than 1% of all Associates. Those earning as little as one cheque a month equal approximately 3% of all Associates. If you include all 165,710 with the title of Associate, which includes, Associates not actively building a business (acting as wholesale buyers), Associates who just joined, (as little as one day), and those who are just beginning to build their customer base, the average yearly income is still $878.81 with nearly one in three earning a cheque. To date, USANA has more than 140 Associates who are lifetime Million Dollar Club members.

“USANA’s compensation plan allows anyone willing to make the effort to reach the highest levels, regardless of their position in the organization. And the different types of bonuses that come with it are simply phenomenal.”

USANA & Children’s Hunger Fund: A Partnership for ChangeUSANA’s vision of true health extends to all people, especially children, which is why it has formed a partnership with Children’s Hunger Fund (CHF). This organization has provided more than $875 million in aid and Forbes magazine named it as one of the nation’s most cost-effective charities, with more than 99 cents of every dollar going directly to children in need. To date, USANA Associates, employees, and corporate leaders have donated more than $11.1 million in products and financial support.
In the eight years that USANA and CHF have worked together, thousands of children have received daily nourishment, medical care, and a renewed sense of hope, particularly through the Wentz Medical Centres in Uganda, Cambodia, and soon Malawi, by serving children affected by diseases such as malaria and HIV.
USANA Partners with Linus Pauling InstituteUSANA Health Sciences and the Linus Pauling Institute (LPI) have worked together to expand Dr. Wentz’ vision by better determining the role that vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants play in promoting optimal health. For more than a decade, LPI, one of the nation’s first Centers of Excellence for Research on Complementary and Alternative Medicine, has been a world leader in the science of micronutrition. USANA hopes to continue to support research at the Linus Pauling Institute to leverage the true synergy between basic and applied research in human nutrition.
Teaming Up with TOSH for Better HealthWith two grants from The Deseret Foundation, USANA Health Sciences has teamed up with TOSH, The Orthopedic Specialty Hospital in Murray, Utah, to examine the effects of supplements in three different studies. In the first study, USANA will examine muscle strength and recovery following exercise with and without vitamin D in physically active individuals. For the second and third studies, USANA will identify the influence of both vitamins E and C, as well as USANA® Essentials™, on strength recovery following ACL and knee reconstructive surgery. USANA and TOSH have several more studies planned for the future.
Recognizing that the health of the environment is an important factor in human health, USANA strives to reduce its environmental impact through the USANA Green program. USANA’s actions include the following:
• Publicly reporting greenhouse gas emissions as a Founding Member of The Climate Registry• Moving to recyclable materials in product packaging• Cutting energy use in company facilities and operations• Extending recycling efforts to include sorting and recycling of USANA’s solid waste• Saving 11.4 million litres of water with corporate xeriscaping
