Antioxidant Power…

We hear or read about antioxidants on almost a daily basis but how many of us know what they really are? Antioxidants are substances or nutrients in our foods which can prevent or slow the oxidative damage to our body. When our body cells use oxygen, they naturally produce free radicals (by-products) which can cause damage. Antioxidants act as "free radical scavengers" and hence prevent and repair damage done by these free radicals1

Where can we find these antioxidants? There are more than 20,000 bioflavonoids and bioflavanols identified today with differing degrees of antioxidant activity. Procyanidins (flavanols) appear to be some of the most powerful free-radical scavengers available. Procyanidins are found in many types of foods, but in extremely small amounts. Some of the highest concentrations of procyanidins are found in grape seeds.3,4,5,6

Supplementation of vitamin C was also found to improve components of the human immune system such as antimicrobial and natural killer cell activities. Vitamin C contributes to maintaining the integrity of cells and protects them against reactive oxygen species generated during the respiratory burst and in the inflammatory response.7

Why Proflavanol C100?

There are a significant amount of benefits to be had by consuming Proflavanol C 100, many of which are listed below:


Employs break-through Nutritional Hybrid Technology by combining two formulations into one bilayer tablet, keeping the formulations distinctly separate. This combination helps you to simplify your nutritional regimen by decreasing the number of tablets you need to take everyday.
Supports Cardiovascular Health - helps maintain normal healthy blood vessels and capillaries. It may assist blood circulation and helps maintain a normal healthy vascular function.
Supports Healthy Immune Function -The procyanidins found in the grape seed extract content together with the Poly C, as in Proflavanol C100, helps support and maintain a normal healthy immune system and function.
Promotes healthy skin - can help defend against cellular damage caused by free radicals that can negatively impact the skin’s appearance. With its unique combination of grape seed extracts and vitamin C, Proflavanol C100 may help to maintain normal healthy skin, and may be beneficial in improving skin-aging appearance.
Helps in relieving symptoms of colds*
Vegetarian safe

Proflavanol C100, USANA’s unique bioflavonoid supplement, contains the equivalent of 12 g of grape seed extract along with 300 mg of vitamin C in each tablet, and comes in a delicious grape flavor.

Get the Most Nutrition from your Food

Need help “digesting” all the new product information announced at the 2010 International Convention? Have no fear, we are here to give you an overview of USANA’s newest addition to our already great line-up of Nutritionals: USANA Digestive Enzyme!

Your body relies on the nutrients found in food to survive. As you take in food, your digestive system begins working to break down nutrients so they can be absorbed into your bloodstream and carried to all the cells in your body. In fact, healthy digestion is so important to your overall health that USANA has created a special subcategory of Nutritionals called “Digestion/Detox” to call extra attention to it. Digestive Enzyme, as well as USANA® Probiotic, Fibergy® Plus, and Hepasil DTX™ are Digestion/Detox products that all play important roles in aiding and maintaining your digestive and liver health.*

Eat Healthy, Get All the Benefits
While it’s important to eat a healthy diet, good eating habits may not make you healthier if the nutrients aren’t properly absorbed. USANA’s Digestive Enzyme supplement was designed to encourage more complete digestion and absorption of nutrients, so that you can get the most nutrition from the foods that you eat. In addition, Digestive Enzyme also helps alleviate the stuffed feeling after eating a large meal and reduce the symptoms of occasional indigestion, including heartburn, gas, and bloating. It also supports the body’s natural detoxification processes.

USANA’s Digestive Enzyme contains many different enzymes to help breakdown starches, proteins, and fats. The blend is also formulated with lactase, which assists in the digestion of food containing lactose, a sugar found in dairy products, and may help prevent symptoms of lactose intolerance. In addition, USANA’s Digestive Enzyme is different from others on the market because it contains spirulina, a nutrient-rich blue-green algae “super food” that contains chlorophyll, which supports the body’s natural processes for eliminating toxins.

Need more help “digesting” all the information on this product? There is a downloadable flyer called “The Science Behind Digestive Enzyme” available under “Prospecting” for you to share with your customers and to help answer any questions. Make sure you look for all of the Digestion/Detox products in their new category on the shopping cart, and pick up new Product Information Booklets, Prospecting Catalogs, and Health & Freedom Newspapers—all of which reflect the new subcategory—to share with your prospects.

Feel the difference optimal nutrient absorption can make in your health.

Nutritional Hybrid Technology

Think about all of the greatest technological advancements through history: the wheel, the telephone, the invention of flight… After landing on the moon, it seemed as if technology couldn’t be pushed any further—until now. Join USANA and take the next step toward the future of your health.

It always feels great to be the first, but USANA is currently the only company in the industry to take advantage of Nutritional Hybrid Technology (NHT). NHT is so new and groundbreaking, it’s difficult to imagine what might come next.

What is Nutritional Hybrid Technology?
USANA's innovative Nutritional Hybrid Technology is a state-of-the-art approach to formula design and manufacturing. NHT features bilayer tableting: the separation of various formula ingredients into two distinct tablet layers. Now, for the first time, incompatible ingredients can be combined in a single tablet, and key nutritional ingredients can be visually highlighted in distinct tablet layers.
 


USANA's Nutritional Hybrid Technology opens the door to accelerated innovation in supplement design and manufacture, and USANA is proud to be the first in the industry to utilize it.


What USANA products use Nutritional Hybrid Technology?
Replacing Proflavanol, Proflavanol 90, and Poly C, USANA’s new Hybrid pill Proflavanol® C100 will make your life a little easier by lessening the amount of pills you need to take without sacrificing any of the nutrients you need.

Hepasil DTX® has also received the Hybrid treatment and is now available in MyHealthPak™.

Take advantage of USANA’s pioneering efforts in the field of nutritional supplements. Add these new products to your MyHealthPak and Autoship today!
