USANA: What is it really?

You may see this word mostly on the internet and maybe you're wondering what it is. Well, it may be a familiar word so for some people, but for people who may not know about it, I'll give you some brief description.

What is USANA?

The word USANA came from the Latin/Greek words "eu" meaning "True" and "sana" meaning "Health", USANA stands for "True Health".

USANA is a company founded in 1992 by Dr. Myron Wentz, that manufactures highly-rated pharmaceutical grade cellular nutrition products and natural supplements. Its manufacturing facility is on Salt Lake City, Utah USA where among 97 pharmaceutical companies, it ranked No. 1

"I dream of a world free from the pain and suffering of degenerative disease. Share my vision. Love life and live it to its fullest in happiness and health." - Dr. Myron Wentz, visionary, scientist, philanthropist, and entrepreneur

USANA distributes their product through the channel of direct selling and network marketing. 

 What is Network Marketing?

Network Marketing is a system of moving products from factory to consumer thru an organization of users, retailers, and network builders. 

It is a business strategy that compensates distributors not only for the sales they generate but also for the sales of the distributors they have recruited.

 Many people have some misconceptions about Network Marketing.

Upon registering/joining, people always have the idea of "getting rich quick". If YOU have the same mindset as those people, better not join. I'll tell you here and now, IT IS NOT EASY. USANA IS NOT EASY. 

Another common misconception on Network Marketing is, it is solely based on recruiting new members. Analyze first. If the company you've joined, or will be joining, is more on recruiting new members rather than selling its products, better question where the money is coming from.

In USANA, each product has its own unique selling proposition which make it really sellable. Let's take The Essentials for example. It is the company's core product. Having a 5-Gold star rating in the Nutrisearch Comparative Guide to Nutritional Supplements, it is considered to be "Best of the Best". It also has USANA’s proprietary, patented Olivol™ olive fruit extract which no other product in the market has.

USANA's products are listed in some medical professional references like the Physicians' Desk Reference and Philippine Pharmaceutical Directory.
USANA has been in the market since 1992. If this company is a scam, another misconception, would it last this long? Would it still be doing researches on improving their products? In my opinion, NO and NO.

Here in the Philippines, USANA started around 2009. But its products are already around, coming from the US. Its office is located at the HSBC Enterprise Building Tower 1 in Makati.

USANA is also listed in NYSE. It first entered the stock market in 2011.

USANA also received, and still receiving, awards like "Best of State", "Best Places to Work", "Best Companies to work for", "Most powerful CEOs 40 & under", "Albert Einstein Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Life Sciences", etc.

To date, there are 1000+ Elite athletes and celebrities who trust their health to USANA.

USANA also has the True Health Foundation. Its mission is to provide the most critical human necessities—nutrition, clothing, shelter, medical assistance, and health education to those who are suffering or in need.


After all these, I hope I've given some enough details on what USANA really is, what does it do, and why I joined it.
