New Technology Means Less Suppliments for the Same Bang

I don't understand the technology but I love the idea of taking less pills each day. Remember - always choose Pharmacological Grade Supplements. Get what your paying for.

Usanais proud to be a leader in the evolution of nutrition technology,” said Dr. Tim Wood, USANA Executive Vice President of Research and Development.

UsanaNutritional Hybrid Technology illustrates our commitment to innovative manufacturing practices and production of high-quality nutritional products.”

Through Nutritional Hybrid Technology, Usana can now combine two distinct formulas into one bilayered tablet, allowing for advanced ingredient combinations while providing product stability. The technology will also help consumers simplify their nutritional regimen by decreasing the number of tablets they take each day.

Two new Usanaformulas, Proflavanol® C100 and Hepasil DTX™, were created with the new manufacturing technology and also unveiled at the company’s convention.

Proflavanol C100 combines powerful proanthocyanidins from grape-seed extract with high-potency vitamin C to promote sound cardiovascular health, immune function, and healthy-looking skin. An in-house Usanastudy found that the combination of grape-seed extract and vitamin C in Proflavanol C100 provides long-term antioxidant activity and better protective effects than if they were not combined.

Usanaupgraded Hepasil DTX formula contains a proprietary blend of ingredients to maintain optimum liver support and aid in the body’s detoxification processes.

Nutritional Hybrid Technology allows USANA Usanato boost key ingredients in the supplement while maintaining product quality and stability

American Suppliment Industry Scam

Though I am very much against Government regulations this is what we get without any standards. Profit at the cost of YOUR health.


In its latest review of multivitamins, ConsumerLab.com found defects in over 30% of the multivitamins that it selected for review. And many products exceeded tolerable upper limits for certain vitamins or minerals. Specific problems found in the multivitamin reviews include:

Three of four popular children's multivitamins reviewed were too high in vitamin A.

One men's multivitamin was contaminated with lead and another had too much folic acid -- associated with more than doubling the risk of prostate cancer.

One general multivitamin had no more than 50% of its folic acid. Another was missing 30% of its calcium.
A senior's, a prenatal, and a women's multivitamin each had only 44.1%, 44.3%, and 66.1%, respectively, of their vitamin A.

A vitamin water had 15 times its stated amount of folic acid, so drinking one bottle would exceed the tolerable limit for adults; less than half a bottle would put children over the limit.

A pet multivitamin was contaminated with lead and another had only 46% of its vitamin A and 54.7% of its calcium.

The only products I have found that can be purchased without a Doctor's prescription come from a company called Usana http://gethealthyreleaseweight.usana.com/.

Their Supplements are on list of the top 25 products for ConsumerLab.com and the have received a 5 Star rating from the Comparable Guide to Nutritional Supplements published by Lyle MacWilliams MSc, FP.
