USANA Joins The White House Office

USANAINC Joins The White House Office Of Science And Technology Policy Initiative In Support Of Microbiome Science Research.

As one of the leading companies in the nutritional supplement industry, USANA Health Sciences supports the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy's (OSTP) research in investigating fundamental principles that govern microbiomes across diverse ecosystems, influencing diverse features of the planet — human health, climate change and food security — to validate its markers with health relevance.

The OSTP addressed the future of microbiomes — communities of microorganisms that live on and in people, plants, soil, oceans and the atmosphere — and the steps it plans to take to advance the understanding of microbiome behavior and enable protection and restoration of healthy microbiome function earlier today in Washington, D.C.

 

"Given the current state of microbiome research, we believe we will be able to identify and validate a set of microbiome markers that predict the health risks we face today," said Dr. Kevin Spelman, USANA's executive vice president of research and development and advisor for the White House commission on complementary and alternative medicine. "Such markers could be the variation of a single bacterial species, a unique combination of different species, or a biological pathway in the microbiota. This work could lead to prediction of health status change as well as personalized measures of health maintenance."

 

Known for its rigorous testing methods, in vitro and human clinical investigation and innovative product technology, USANA's commitment to science has received recognition from NutriSearch Comparative Guide to Nutritional Supplements, ConsumerLab.com and Utah Best of State.

 

"Appropriate regulation of microbiome products is key to industry investment and, ultimately, marketable products," said Dr. Elizabeth Stulberg, senior policy advisor for food and life sciences at the White House. "We hope federal investments in microbiome science will bring us to this point soon."

Healthy Foundation for Baby and You

Starting a family changes everything for soon-to-be-moms — it means thinking for two, planning for two, and of course, nutrition for two. Whether you are pregnant, nursing, or looking to start a family, it is now more important than ever to build a nutritional foundation — for both of you.

Too many women are vitamin deficient during pregnancy, which means a large percentage of children are born without proper nutrition. Don’t let your child be one of them. Be sure to give your baby a head start by adding just the right supplements to your diet.

To get every nutrient your body may need, you may want further supplementation. Consider using the following supplements and USANA Foods to give your baby a better beginning:

◾ Essentials — The Essentials can serve as an excellent prenatal multivitamin. Proper amounts of folic acid, zinc, and other important vitamins and minerals are all present in Essentials. A full daily dosage of the Essentials (3 tablets a day) provides 1,000 mcg of folic acid. Studies show that taking at least 400 mcg of folic acid can reduce the risk of these birth defects by as much as 70%.

◾BiOmega™ — This purified fish oil helps support a healthy pregnancy and is full of omega-3 fatty acids that are critical to the development of the baby’s brain before birth as well as proper eye development and growth.

◾Active Calcium™ Chewable — This supplement helps both mother and baby get the bone-building minerals they need. It also works as an antacid to help reduce mild heartburn symptoms.

◾Digestion/Detox — In the months leading up to conception, it is a good idea to properly remove unwanted toxins through healthy digestion. Limit your exposure and try using USANA Probiotic, Digestive Enzyme, Hepasil DTX™, and Fibergy® Plus.

◾USANA Foods — It’s important to be at a healthy weight before you get pregnant. Get your body in prime condition to carry a child with the help of Nutrimeal™, Nutrition Bars, and the RESET™ weight-management program.

If it’s time to start planning for two, remember to count in nutrition and build a solid foundation of health for your future family.

 

Change your DIET with Nutrimeal

What is Nutrimeal?

Nutrimeal is a low-glycaemic-index food to help reduce carbohydrate cravings and provide sustained energy and greater satiety throughout the day.

Do you want to feel fuller longer and have a more sustained energy level? Here is your solution: tasty and convenient Nutrimeal shakes. They are low on the glycaemic index, meaning that the formula is designed to produce only small fluctuations in blood sugar levels for more sustained energy and to help you feel fuller, longer. Each serving of Nutrimeal contains 8 grammes of dietary fibre and provides 15 grammes of soy, whey, and other proteins. Soy protein is a complete protein, containing all of the essential amino acids in optimal ratios and in a highly digestible form. Whey protein, which is also easily digestible, is an excellent source of amino acids essential for building a healthy body. Try the rich flavour of Wild Strawberry, Chocolate or Vanilla for breakfast, or any time you want a healthy meal you shake!


High-Glycemic/Low-Glycemic Food

High-glycemic food are the type of food that spikes up your blood glucose levels. Low-glycemic food keeps your blood glucose level more stable, helping to reduce carbohydrate cravings, leave you feeling satisfied longer, and control your appetite more easily. A poor lifestyle can cause your body to over-stimulate the release of insulin-the body’s storage hormone. In essence, if you keep overeating sugar and high-glycemic carbohydrates, you will be more likely to gain weight. High-glycemic food includes rice, potato, ice-cream, chocolate, noodles, pasta, (almost everything that you consider your favorite food) etc.

AVOID THESE FOOD during your Reset program with Nutrimeal.

USANA Products for Pregnant or Breastfeeding Women

The Essentials can serve as an excellent prenatal multivitamin. Proper amounts of folic acid, zinc, and other important vitamins and minerals are all present in this product.

It is important for women who are planning to become pregnant and currently pregnant to consume at least 400 mcg of folic acid per day. A full daily dosage of the Essentials (3 tablets a day) provides 1,000 mcg of folic acid. If a mother does not have adequate intake of folic acid within the first few months of pregnancy, the fetus may develop neural tube defects (such as spina bifida). Studies show that taking at least 400 mcg of folic acid can reduce the risk of these birth defects by as much as 70%.

It is important for every expectant mother to ask a doctor about taking an iron supplement, as iron is not included in the Essentials. During pregnancy, women should generally supplement with somewhere between 28 and 90 mg of elemental iron per day, depending on their needs.

Research has also shown that essential fatty acids are critical for developing babies. It may be a good idea to supplement with BiOmega during pregnancy. Before taking any additional or different supplements, discuss them fully with your doctor, as it is important to protect the growing baby and mother.
