Digestive health can be taken for granted. Healthy digestion is something you don’t notice if everything is operating smoothly. When your gut health isn’t intact, you might find an occasional upset stomach or irregularity draw all your focus. Fiber helps digestion stay smooth. And Fibergy Active is the fiber-focused solution in the USANA Active Nutrition product line that’s backed by science and thorough research to put optimal gut health within reach.

With Fibergy Active, you can show support for your gut health before irregularity and discomfort becomes a cross to bear. This fiber product is easy to put the health of your digestive system first. That’s because it’s no secret that fiber is important.

Fiber keeps the food you eat moving through your digestive system. It keeps the bacteria that live in your digestive tract happy and healthy. And the complex carbohydrate also keeps you feeling fuller longer, while supporting cardiovascular health. You can activate your gut to run smoothly, and support other important aspects of your overall health, with help from fiber.

It’s easy to add Fibergy Active to whatever drink you use to power your day. Green drinks, smoothies, meal-replacement shakes, even yogurt all mesh well with this versatile fiber supplement. So you have plenty of options to include more fiber in your diet.

Still wondering what fiber can do for you? Check out all the perks a digestive health product like Fibergy Active has to offer your overall health. And see how dietary fiber can help your gut and your body feel their best.

Fiber Keeps Your Gut Feeling Great

Meeting your daily fiber needs just became easier with Fibergy Active—a convenient, naturally low-glycemic way to up the ante on the complex carbs in your diet. And Fibergy Active is a blend of dietary fibers that are vegan-friendly and naturally sourced. So, you’ll get the full range of benefits that a variety of soluble and insoluble fibers have to offer.

As an active adult, you have a lot on your plate. You don’t need a sluggish digestive system slowing you down. Active Nutrition’s fiber support product Fibergy Active boasts a hefty nine grams of fiber that support your digestive system in key ways:

  • Maintains good digestive health by aiding regularity
  • Feeds and maintains your gut microbiome
  • Supports good cardiovascular and metabolic health
  • Actively supports weight management by helping you feel satisfied after meals

Digestive Health—How Much Fiber Do I Need?

If you want to take your health and fitness to the next level, look for ways to mix more fiber into your diet. Nine out of 10 people need to consume more fiber. Aim to be the one in ten people that meets their quota of this complex carbohydrate each day.

The average adult only eats about 16 grams of dietary fiber a day. But the recommended intake for total fiber are much higher, between 25 and 30 grams daily. It’s hard for your digestive system to operate at full strength with only half the fiber it needs every day.

But you can fortify your gut health with the help of fiber. A digestive support product like Fibergy Active knocks out a sizable chunk of your daily recommended fiber intake—about a third of the dietary fiber your gut depends on.

If you want to maintain regularity and support comfortable, dependable digestion, take an active role in your digestive health. Optimize it with the help of USANA Fibergy Active.

Stock Up on Soluble and Insoluble Fiber for Digestive Health

Fiber is the key that unlocks the door to healthy digestion. You can optimize your digestive health with a fiber product like Fibergy Active that works hard for your gut.

Dietary fiber comes in two varieties: soluble and insoluble. The soluble fibers mix well with water and take on a gel-like consistency that smoothly moves through your gut. Insoluble fibers add weight and bulk to the food you digest, coaxing it through your digestive tract so you can digest comfortably.

Explore the fiber components of Fibergy Active and learn how each supports and maintains your digestive health.

  • Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) are the first ingredient in USANA Fibergy Active. They’re a mouthful to pronounce, but these short-chain fructose (sugar) molecules are small bits of soluble fiber that optimize the movement of food through your digestive tract. FOS occur naturally in many plants, and are a source of natural sweetness.
  • Sugarcane fiber is another insoluble addition to Fibergy Active. It‘s a tried-and-tested component of many fiber products. That’s because sugarcane fiber supports regularity, which allows you to digest comfortably.
  • Apple, blueberry, and raspberry powders are also included in the Fibergy Active formula. These fruit powders are full of phytochemicals and antioxidants that synergize with fiber to optimize your digestion.

Give your gut the fiber it needs to maintain healthy digestion. Regularity and comfort are a great way to measure the health of your digestive system. You need roughage to keep food moving through your gut. So adding a digestive support product like Fibergy Active can help support healthy digestion to keep your days running smoothly.

Fibergy Active Taps the Prebiotic Power of Organic Agave Inulin to Feed Your Microbiome

Healthy digestion begins with a well-nourished microbiome. If you’ve ever felt out-of-touch with the microbes living in your gut, fiber is your solution. The complex carbohydrate feeds the helpful bacteria that live in your intestines. These bacteria are necessary for digestion because they break down compounds that your body can’t on its own.

Fibergy Active makes it easy for you to feed your microbiome the prebiotic fiber it needs to thrive. Along with the fruit powders mentioned above, the formula has organic agave inulin to support the microflora that reside in your gut.

Agave inulin promotes the growth of bacterial strains like bifidobacteria and lactobacilli. These microbes support the digestive tract’s ability to break down foods and absorb nutrients. This helps your body maintain healthy levels of nutrients to help you conquer your daily grind.

Inulin feeds the beneficial bacteria in your gut through a process called fermentation. Here’s a quick lesson on how fermentation works:

  • Fermentation is one biological method of breaking down carbohydrates into smaller constituent compounds, usually in environments where there is little to no oxygen. The products of fermentation can vary, but sugar and carbon dioxide are often produced.
  • Bacteria are just one organism that utilizes fermentation. This chemical process makes bread dough rise, pickles sauerkraut, and brews alcoholic beverages like beer and wine. Your muscles perform lactic acid fermentation to create additional ATP when you exercise. On a much smaller scale, fermentation happens in your gut, too.
  • Fermentation is the process bacteria in your gut use to extract energy from fiber, like those found in Fibergy Active, which are sources of energy for these gut bacteria.
  • During fermentation your gut bacteria secrete digestive enzymes that break down complex carbohydrates like fiber into short-chain fatty acids, which support the growth of bifidobacteria and lactobacilli in the intestines.
  • Prebiotic fibers also help the bacteria in your gut synthesize vitamins—specifically vitamin K and B vitamins.

The inulin in your diet—like the agave inulin in Fibergy Active—can also maintain the biodiversity of your gut microflora. You want to keep your microbiome diverse and well fed, because these beneficial bacteria help you digest the variety of food you eat.

You can access the full microbiome benefits of dietary fiber with the help of Fibergy Active. Bifidobacteria and lactobacilli need the support of inulin and other fibers to work optimally in your gut. Provide your digestive system with the fiber it needs by making Fibergy Active a part of your healthy diet.

Your Cardiovascular System and Blood-Sugar Benefit, Too

Fulfilling your daily roughage requirements can do more than keep you regular. Fiber may help maintain healthy blood sugar levels. By helping your body digest food over a longer period of time, Fibergy Active helps maintain healthy blood glucose levels, as long as they’re already in the normal range.

Your cardiovascular system will also thank you for prioritizing fiber in your diet. Low-density lipoproteins (or LDL cholesterol) take a toll on heart health. They’re “sticky” molecules that can build up in blood vessels.

But fiber is “sticky,” too. Complex carbs bind easily to LDLs, helping to support the liver process and eliminate them from the body. And all it takes to access this healthy cholesterol support is five to 10 grams of fiber each day. A single serving of Fibergy Active puts you right in the sweet spot with the nine grams of fiber.

You’re supporting the health of more than just your digestive system when you add a fiber supplement to your diet. So optimize your overall wellness by ensuring you consume the fiber your body needs each day with the help of Fibergy Active.

A Fiber Support Product Can Help Maintain a Healthy Weight

If you weren’t already convinced of the many benefits of dietary fiber, add healthy weight support to the list. Fiber products support overall health even further by helping you maintain a healthy weight.

Incorporating a fiber aid like Fibergy Active can support your weight-management goals. That’s because complex carbohydrates can curb cravings that might interfere with your dietary plan. And the bulking agents in Fibergy Active help you digest your food more slowly. This means you feel full for longer, and are less tempted to munch on unhealthy snacks.

Weighing in at only 15 calories per serving, you can be sure this fiber product won’t overturn your diet. Fibergy Active is truly a low-calorie, low-maintenance way to fill your daily fiber quota. So you can skip the extra snacks and maintain a healthy weight with the full-stomach feelings of Fibergy Active.

It’s Easy to Find a Room in Your Diet for Fibergy Active

Adding fiber to your diet is a simple way to take your nutrition to the next level. And a scoop of Fibergy Active—formulated with a neutral taste for ultimate versatility—in your protein shake or green drink is all it takes to support your fiber intake.

Sure you can maintain the recommended amount of roughage in your diet by adding this high-quality, low-glycemic fiber supplement to your daily routine. But meeting the minimum is just the beginning, though.

You may turn to Fibergy Active to maintain comfortable, effective digestion for regular days. But you’ll also be capitalizing on fiber’s weight-management power, as well as its support for cardiovascular health. And optimizing gut health, helping maintain healthy blood sugar levels already in the normal range, and supporting a healthy heart in one drink a day.

Make every day a day of digestive health with the fiber found in USANA Fibergy Active.

You’re a hard-working, multi-tasking, go-getter who knows that proper nutrition is key to your daily success. You crave the kind of fuel that will power you to achieve your goals. So make sure your hydration is also up to the challenge. Hydrate with the mighty minerals of an electrolyte replacement drink to make an energizing splash in your daily water intake.*

Electrolytes (minerals with electrical charges) are essential for everybody. Endurance athletes and power lifters aren’t the only people whose bodies rely on electrolyte replacement. You too can support superior hydration with the simple addition of USANA Electrolyte Replacement Drink to your next bottle of water.*

You need the help of electrolytes to optimize your hydration. Electrolytes help your body retain the water it needs to function (you’ll dive into the science behind electrolytes later on.) Thirst, fatigue, as well as dry lips and skin are all ways your body can alert you to your hydration status.*

Enhance your glass of water with the key electrolyte minerals your body needs to fight signs of dehydration before they start. This convenient component of the Active Nutrition product line puts the focus on helping you achieve optimal hydration. Quench thirst before feelings of dehydration can slow you down with refreshing, watermelon flavored USANA Electrolyte Replacement Drink.*

Here’s how electrolytes support your hydration:

  • replenish electrolytes lost in sweat*
  • maintain healthy hydration levels*
  • support healthy muscles*
  • maintain energy and mental clarity throughout the day*

Pour a tall glass of water and see for yourself how electrolyte replacement can support your healthy body. That way you can dive into your daily routine with the proper hydration to help you achieve your goals.*

Electrolyte Replacement 101: Your Electric Body

Pre-business meeting or post-workout, replenish your body with the electrolyte minerals it needs to conduct electricity. That’s right—it’s time to start thinking of your body like a piece of electrical equipment. You are a living, breathing, healthy-living machine.

Minerals like sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium are considered electrolytes. The name electrolytes comes because they impart an electrical charge to the fluid that surrounds them—bodily fluids like blood, urine, and sweat. Your body uses these charged particles to relay important electrical impulses. Here are a few examples of the electrical operations in your body:

  • Neurons electrically stimulate muscle groups to relax and contract
  • Pacemaker cells in your heart use electricity to beat in unison
  • Electrical gradients direct movement of ions across cell membranes, allowing cells to carry out instructions and communicate with one another

Channeling the electrical power of electrolytes makes simple and complex movements possible. Pumping your legs on a stationary bike, jogging in the park, swimming, and walking your dog all rely on electrolyte assistance. Even operations beneath the skin’s surface like your heartbeat need electrolytes to function.

With the support of an electrolyte replacement drink, you can be sure the necessary minerals are in place for the electrical circuits in your body to light up properly. That keeps your cellular wiring prepared to fire signals all day long.*

Optimize Hydration with Electrolytes*

Healthy hydration is just as important as good nutrition. You might already drink the recommended eight glasses of water a day. But you can make that water work harder for you with the help of the electrolytes found in USANA Electrolyte Replacement Drink Mix.*

Electrolytes calcium, magnesium, sodium, and potassium support your body’s ability to retain proper amounts of water and stay hydrated. The water and electrolytes in your body like to be evenly concentrated in your blood. Since electrolytes and water are attracted to one another, if you maintain the proper concentration of electrolytes, water will be drawn to them.*

But just like all other nutrients, electrolytes are a finite resource that need replenished. Most often your body loses electrolytes through sweat.

Sweating removes water from your body in an attempt to cool itself down. A hot day, strenuous workout, or nervousness can trigger sweat. But water isn’t the only thing that leaves your body when you sweat. The electrolytes in your blood escape with the water, too.

Electrolytes travel with water by a process called diffusion. Basic chemistry teaches that solutes (ions like electrolytes) like to be dissolved equally in a volume of water (blood or other bodily fluids). Diffusion encourages the electrolytes in your blood to follow water, to equal out their concentration. When water evaporates through your skin as you sweat, the electrolytes in your blood tag along.

It’s important to keep your electrolytes within the normal range by replenishing them often. Electrolyte replacement drinks are a great way to maintain a healthy electrolyte balance. USANA Electrolyte Replacement Drink Mix adds essential minerals to your water for an easy, convenient, and delicious way to replace electrolytes.

Be proactive about supporting healthy hydration by enhancing one of your bottles or glasses of water with electrolytes during the day. The minerals in the Active Nutrition electrolyte drink mix help keep the water you need to thrive in your body, optimizing your hydration as you tackle each busy day.*

Electrolytes Support Healthy Muscles and Exercise Performance*

You don’t need to be a sports star to experience how electrolytes help maintain muscle health and activity. Athletes and beginner fitness enthusiasts alike need the muscle support that electrolytes can provide. And you can optimize your exercise performance with the help of the essential minerals found in USANA Electrolyte Replacement Drink Mix.*

Recall that electrolytes facilitate electrical signals between neurons and muscle tissue. All the muscles in your body can use minerals like calcium from electrolyte replacement drinks to conduct electricity. This includes the bigger muscle groups in your arms and legs that are targeted during exercise.

Let’s zoom in to see exactly how it works.

Electrolytes flow in and out of muscle cells to stimulate contraction and relaxation. Calcium rushes into muscle fibers during muscle contraction, causing a shape change in the proteins that help muscle fibers contract. As calcium detaches from these proteins, the muscle fibers can relax. Your muscles need plenty of electrolytes available to optimize their performance.*

Maintaining healthy levels of calcium and other electrolytes is crucial for your muscle function. Too little calcium and you might experience occasional muscle weakness or cramps. With the proper electrolyte balance, you can flex your support for muscle health and optimize your exercise performance. Keep your muscles in shape by stocking up on calcium and the other essential minerals in the refreshing USANA Electrolyte Replacement Drink Mix.*

Harness Energy and Optimize Mental Clarity with Help from Electrolytes*

Energy—or lack thereof—is often what stands between you and tasks that need to be completed. The electrolytes in the Active Nutrition drink mix can help you turn tired excuses into project execution.*

One of the first signs you need to drink more water is fatigue—physical and mental. Brain fog often accompanies the feelings of tiredness associated with dehydration. If you want to keep your energy up throughout the day and avoid afternoon burn-out, take your hydration seriously.*

When you’re well hydrated, your body has the resources to help you tackle your to-do list. So proper hydration is a key to keeping your energy up. It also means muscles can stay active and energized. Cells also thrive when you are hydrated—making ATP and generating energy efficiently.*

As you’ve learned, electrolytes are key to maintaining healthy hydration. An electrolyte replacement drink supports your body’s hydration levels throughout the day, so you can skip over the three PM slump and charge on to your next task.*

Electrolytes help fight mental fatigue, as well—all while supporting brain function. Dehydration can signal itself in the form of confusion and trouble focusing. Electrolytes like magnesium can combat these by pulling double duty supporting proper hydration and brain health.*

Scientific research also links magnesium to concentration, mental clarity, and mood. Electrolyte Replacement Drink Mix is a reliable source of this essential mineral. So mix up a tasty glass to help block brain fog before it interrupts your workday, and focus on proper hydration with electrolytes like magnesium to maintain mental clarity.*

Support Healthy Hydration with the Help of USANA Electrolyte Replacement Drink*

You don’t need to be a professional athlete to reap the benefits of electrolytes and proper hydration. Everybody needs electrolytes so their bodies can thrive. Options like USANA Electrolyte Replacement Drink are a simple solution to help maintain healthy hydration levels.*

This refreshing, delicious, and hydrating drink replenishes the electrolytes lost in sweat. And you’ll feel the difference, because electrolytes are central to so many body functions. Muscles rely on calcium so they can conduct electricity, contract, and relax. And electrolytes like magnesium also keep brain fog and fatigue at bay, so you can keep your energy up and take your day head on.*

Whether you’re a pro athlete, an exercise novice, or busy parent, electrolytes keep you well hydrated and feeling energized in your body and mind. Electrify and enhance your next drink of water with the dynamic essential minerals in USANA Electrolyte Replacement Drink Mix.*

Chloroplastim: Moisturizing Cell-Signaling Actives

The efficacy and benefits of this facial oil stem from the cell-signaling technology central to the Celavive skincare line. Chloroplastim is a unique blend of coconut oil, alfalfa extract, and squalene. Together, these ingredients provide powerful hydration support and work synergistically to improve the appearance of your complexion.

Check out the components of Chloroplastim and learn how they can take your skin hydration to the next level.

  • Coconut oil: This popular plant oil is full of vitamin E (a potent antioxidant) and works to seal in moisture so your skin stays hydrated. Coconut oil also helps protect your skin barrier by providing needed moisture to keep your skin looking bouncy and elastic.
  • Alfalfa extract: This plant-derived antioxidant is moisturizing and calming to the skin. Alfalfa extract helps soothe dry skin. It also supports a healthy glow by gently brightening the look of your complexion.
  • Squalene: Your skin naturally produces this oil, but around age 30 its production begins to decline. The squalene oil in Radiant Facial Oil works by replenishing this depleted oil so your skin feels soft and looks youthful and radiant.

The three components of Chloroplastim powerfully moisturize your skin and add radiance to your complexion. And scientific research supports the efficacy of this blend. One clinical study suggests the Chloroplastim combination can help skin retain more moisture than squalane or hyaluronic acid alone. That means you can be sure Radiant Facial Oil will optimize your skin’s hydration when added to your skincare routine.

See for yourself why the women in this skincare clinical trial raved about their results.

Summary of Brightening Skincare Clinical Trial

  • This single-center clinical trial assessed the effectiveness of the Celavive brightening skincare products, including: Vivid White Sheet Mask, Light Complexion Serum, Dark Spot Corrector, and Luminous Moisture Cream.
  • The trial was conducted by Thomas J. Stephens at the SGS Stevens Dallas Research Center—an independent research center.
  • The participants in this study were 29 women between the ages of 36 and 65 (average age was 53.4 years) of differing ethnicities.
  • Each participant had mild-to-moderate hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone, with at least one dark spot (age spot) on their face.
  • The women in this study received a Celavive skincare regimen suited for their skin type—including the brightening products—to use twice daily for 12 weeks.
  • Participants saw significant improvements to the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation. Skin was brighter and more radiant after the 12-week treatment.
  • The products are safe to use.

From early on in the clinical trial, women noticed remarkable changes to their age spots and uneven pigmentation. All participants in the study reported improved visible brightness and glowing skin after using the brightening treatment products.

Brightening Skincare Trial Design

A group of 29 women participated in the clinical trial of the Celavive Brightening product line. As mentioned above, the women in the study varied in age and skin type.

Before Brightening Treatment

At the beginning of the skincare trial, the women completed a series of baseline evaluations to measure the tone and evenness of their skin, as well as the intensity of darker age spots. Digital images of each woman’s face were captured with a VISIA CR photo station and Canon Mark II digital SLR camera. These images were cataloged for comparison throughout the 12-week study.

In addition to photographs, Chroma Meter™ measurements were taken from each subject’s face, specifically at their targeted dark spots. The Chroma Meter evaluates the intensity of hyperpigmentation marks, and its measurements can be compared over time to assess the change in dark-spot intensity.

Product performance surveys, self-response questionnaires, and tolerability evaluations were also administered to the women in the study. Participants used these surveys to record how they felt about the quality and efficacy of each product throughout the trial.

Skincare Trial Procedure

After imaging and baseline measurements were taken, the clinical trial participants received a regimen of Celavive skincare products to be used twice daily (morning and night). In addition to the makeup remover, cleanser, toner, and lotion/cream, the women were given the entire line of brightening products:

  • Vivid White Sheet Mask
  • Light Complexion Serum
  • Dark Spot Corrector
  • Luminous Moisture Cream

Here is an example of the regimens followed by each participant. Light Complexion Serum and Luminous Moisture Cream were applied all over the face. Dark Spot Corrector was applied to targeted areas only. And Vivid White Sheet Masks were used on an incremental basis—first once a week, then twice, and ultimately three-times weekly.

Celavive Brightening Regimen

Product Morning Night
Conditioning Makeup Remover (No application) Use only if you wear makeup
Creamy Foam Cleanser Apply to entire face and neck Apply to entire face and neck
Toner Apply to entire face and neck Apply to entire face and neck
Vivid White Sheet Mask (No application) Once per week for the first 2 weeks, twice per week for the next 2 weeks, and thrice per week for the remaining weeks
Light Complexion Serum Apply to entire face and neck Apply to entire face and neck
Dark Spot Corrector Apply to areas of discoloration, spots, or areas of unwanted pigmentation Apply to areas of discoloration, spots, or areas of unwanted pigmentation
Luminous Moisture Cream Apply to entire face and neck Apply to entire face and neck
Protective Day Lotion Apply to entire face and neck, and limit exposure to sun (No application)

Researchers collected the responses to the performance and tolerability surveys at the four-, eight-, and 12-week marks. Updated Chroma Meter evaluations and VISIA images of each participant were also taken at the four-, eight-, and 12-week intervals.

Visibly Glowing Responses to Brightening Regimen

USANA is happy to report that the participants in this study responded favorably to the brightening products and Celavive skincare regimen. Overall, there was a significant reduction in intensity of dark age spots, and an increase in the appearance of radiance and glow of the participants’ skin.

Clinical Grading Parameters

The clinical grading of efficacy parameters showed a statistically significant improvement in intensity (visual) of the targeted dark spot, and radiance and skin tone evenness on the global face at weeks 4, 8, and 12; and in hyperpigmentation (mottled and/or discrete) and overall skin appearance (healthy glow) on the global face at weeks 8 and 12 when compared with baseline.

4-, 8-, and 12-Week Subject Percent Improvement from Baseline on Clinical Grading Parameters

The Chroma Meter values and VISIA images obtained during the study showed remarkable changes in discoloration over the 12-week trial period. Significant improvements to the overall appearance of the skin were noted, as well.

USANA® Stress Relief Supports Calm in Your Hectic Life with 3 Powerful Adaptogens

You can run from mild stress—exercising provides some relief. You can hide from it—taking time for self-care and mediation are great coping strategies. But occasional stress still seeps into your life. Control your reaction and support the ways your body adapts to stress with the USANA Stress Relief mood-support supplement.*

Your twice-daily dose of Stress Relief’s potent ingredients can help you cope with your daily grind. The saffron, lemon balm, and ashwagandha in this unique supplement supply storied histories of supporting occasional stress-and-mood concerns.*

USANA Stress Relief supplement mixes tradition with modern science to deliver effective amounts of those high-quality adaptogens—foods (usually herbs) that help you cope with mild stress. The powerful trio of saffron, lemon balm, and ashwagandha can help with:*

  • Supporting natural processes that help the body adapt to normal, occasional stress*
  • Supporting a healthy emotional response *
  • Supporting a balanced mood*

You can’t snap your fingers and strip the stress from your life. But—with the help of USANA Stress Relief—you can harness powerful adaptogens to help keep you thriving through occasionally stressful times.*

Bust Stress to Help Support Your Overall Health

The benefits of properly managing stress are easily felt. You feel lighter, brighter, and ready to take on the challenges of the day with a positive, can-do attitude.

These experiential benefits are backed by measurable, physical differences, too. Absent stressors, you can maintain levels of cortisol (your main stress hormone) to help keep them in the normal range. This normalization frees the body to return to regular operation.*

That’s why managing occasional stress can help support your health—from normal cognition and immune function to maintaining your bones and keeping healthy numbers on the bathroom scale. Habits and lifestyle remedies comprise a large chunk of stress-management tips you’ll find. Meditation, mindfulness, massage, deep breathing, and a variety of self-care approaches are common and helpful ideas.*

But modern life’s occasional stresses might still leave your management strategy lacking. Turning to a mood-support supplement adds extra support in the battle to help keep you healthy.*

USANA Stress Relief earns its name with adaptogenic ingredients to support your stress-management efforts. Your convenient, twice-daily dose contains compounds not found in the typical diet. These active ingredients have provided centuries of benefits, because they help support a healthy response to stress and a balanced mood.*

So, Stress Relief’s combination of saffron, lemon balm, and ashwagandha provide a history of results and supportive scientific research in one simple, easy addition to your daily supplement regimen.

Add Adaptogens to Aid Your Stress-Management Strategy

A heap of carbs and fats—either sweet or savory—can bring joy and an escape from your stressful day. The happiness is fleeting, though, followed by feeling less than your best.

Instead of comfort food, try adaptogens. These powerful herbs help support healthy stress-adaption processes. That’s why saffron, lemon balm, and ashwagandha provide the basis for the formulation of USANA Stress Relief.*

Adaptogens have been foundational in traditional medicine around the world for centuries. But more is known now about these herbs because of increased study during World War II. The early research showed promising results about helping provide support during times of occasional stress.*

Further study recently revealed that this happens by helping to maintain resilience to mild stress and helping support the management of sensitivity to stressors. The active compounds in saffron and other herbs support cell-signaling processes in the brain and the body’s stress-adaption mechanisms.*

The combined strength of USANA Stress Relief’s herbal trio means two pills a day helps you support a healthy response to stress and maintain a balanced mood.*

USANA Stress Relief is Built to Support Soothing Messages in Your Brain

Adaptogens support helpful reactions created by a wide range of cell signals in your brain. USANA Stress Relief’s active compounds help set off a chain of events that helps support processes aiding in adaptation to normal, occasional stress.*

Take a closer look at each powerful adaptogen and how they work.

Saffron

One of the world’s most expensive spices brings more than exotic flavor. Saffron (Crocus sativus L.) also contains the carotenoid compound crocin. This substance plays a dual role in the herb’s aroma and its benefits in traditional herbal remedies in the Middle East and Asia.

The spice’s multi-faceted health effects range from helping support the liver to maintaining brain health. But saffron is a key part of USANA Stress Relief because of its properties that help support feelings of calmness, maintain a balance of important neurotransmitters, and aid in processes that support the management of mild stress and tension.*

Lemon Balm

The citrusy notes of lemon balm (Melissa officinalis L.) create a pleasing aromatic experience. This member of the mint family has a history of other uses outside of aromatherapy, though. Its centuries-long connection to calming and stress mitigation make it a key component in USANA’s powerful mood supplement.*

Lemon balm has been found in the food and traditional medicine of Europe and the Middle East for more than 2,000 years. More recent clinical research has illuminated work the herb does to help support healthy mood, stress adaptation, and calm feelings.*

Ashwagandha

India’s Ayurvedic tradition wouldn’t be the same without ashwagandha (Withania somnifera). It’s also a foundational part of USANA Stress Relief.

That’s because ashwagandha, also known as Indian ginseng, displays antioxidant activity while helping to support brain health and calm feelings. It also helps maintain healthy brain function, including supporting normal, healthy levels of select neurotransmitters and cortisol. All of these combine to help support you during times of mild stress.*

Turn the Tide With the Trio of Adaptogens in USANA Stress Relief

Despite your best efforts, occasional stress slithers into your day to create chaos and discontent. Managing stress helps you feel better—from your mood to your physical, emotional, and mental health.*

USANA Stress Relief is a powerful addition to your calming lifestyle habits. This mood-support supplement makes it easy to incorporate three adaptogens—saffron, lemon balm, and ashwagandha—into your stress-management regimen.*

Start gaining ground in your battle against normal, daily stressors and help support a balanced mood with the adaptogenic abilities of USANA Stress Relief.*

USANA CellSentials provide vital nutrition through essential vitamins and minerals. These are necessary for the growth, development, and long-term health of your body. However, CellSentials are more than just a multivitamin. They also contain USANA’s InCelligence Technology.*

The patented CellSentials with InCelligence Technology helps activate your body’s own defense mechanisms. This helps the body protect itself from stress and renew youthful, normal cellular function. The technology uses select nutrients to support and optimize specific cellular processes. It triggers these normal processes by using your body’s cell signaling pathways—your cells’ network for sending and receiving communications.*

Using Nutrition to Signal Long-Term Health

The InCelligence Complex in Vita Antioxidant consists of a powerful blend of eight ingredients that supports a network of cell-signaling pathways. This patented combination of ingredients includes*:

  • Alpha lipoic acid
  • Meriva® Bioavailable Curcumin†
  • Green Tea Extract
  • Quercetin
  • Rutin
  • Hesperidin
  • Resveratrol
  • Olivol Olive-Fruit Extract

The InCelligence Complex supports a broad range of pathways and processes for whole-body health. The two most important in the CellSentials are*:

1. The production of endogenous antioxidants—those created in cells—for powerful protection against free radicals*

Your cells are naturally equipped with powerful antioxidants. Molecules like superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione are made in your cells. The nutrients in the patented InCelligence Complex help proactively support production of these natural protectors.*

It’s simple math. One dietary antioxidant molecule can eliminate one or two free-radical molecule(s). Endogenous antioxidants are typically able to neutralize 100 or more free-radical molecules during their lifespans. By encouraging the production of your natural antioxidants, the InCelligence Complex helps deliver significantly more protection. It is a powerful way to defend against an imbalance of the oxidative stress that can damage your healthy cells.*

2. The activation of mitophagy—a cellular cleanup process—to help renew efficient production of the energy that powers your cells*

Your cells produce energy (ATP—adenosine triphosphate) in the mitochondria. This cellular energy production also generates a lot of free radicals. Natural antioxidants in the cell neutralize many of the free radicals. But some mitochondria will still be damaged over time. Damaged mitochondria can work inefficiently, producing more damaging free radicals and less ATP. This makes it harder for the cell to keep up with free radical production, which leads to cellular damage.

The cell maintains efficiency through a natural response called mitophagy, which recycles the old or damaged mitochondria. So, they aren’t causing damaging reactions and the cell stays healthy. However, age or other lifestyle factors may slow this process. The InCelligence Complex helps activate mitophagy to renew efficient energy production and keep cells acting youthful.*

Nourish, Protect, and Renew Your Health With The CellSentials*

The CellSentials are your first step towards building a strong foundation for health. The broad spectrum of vitamins and minerals nourish your body. And the patented CellSentials InCelligence complex optimizes antioxidant production to protect your cells, and renew the mitochondrion in your body. This creates a comprehensive approach to support your long-term health.*

The world seems to grow smaller every day. Fashion, food, entertainment—all are influenced by cultures around the globe. The same is true for health. Eastern approaches to holistic wellness, like Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), have crossed Western borders as health enthusiasts look for novel ideas for achieving optimal well-being.

The bright minds at USANA Health Sciences are leading the way into this uncharted territory with a pioneering study. The outcome of this research creates a new map for exploring ways to unite traditional Eastern philosophies with Western scientific practices.


USANA Science Summary

  • USANA researchers worked with experienced TCM practitioners to create a model for standardizing the diagnosis of a single TCM condition.
  • Using a multi-stage process, the team was able to develop a diagnostic protocol with better consistency than traditional methods.
  • The results of the study have two important impacts for the future of scientific discovery:
    • It provides a framework that may be used to help create diagnostic protocols for additional TCM conditions, which could help make care more consistent.
    • The process of designing the protocol can be copied and used to establish measurable data points for more clinical research studies. This will help advance the use of Western scientific methods to show the effectiveness of TCM.

Mixing TCM with Western thinking doesn’t come without some culture clashes. Western medicine usually relies on factors that can be measured and managed. TCM has focused on mental, physical, and spiritual forces that are often unseen but work together to create wellness as a whole.

People in Western cultures, which rely primarily on evidence-based science, may find it difficult to accept the positive impacts of TCM practices without the backing of measurable data. And designing studies that bridge the two cultures is a challenge.

But USANA scientists have shown it’s not impossible. This article summarizes a recent paper published in the European Journal of Integrative Medicine, which explores the groundbreaking work carried out by USANA’s research and development team.

This is important early research that could have far-reaching impacts on the field of TCM study. Approaches like those developed by USANA lay a path for Eastern or Western practitioners to make TCM recommendations grounded in clinically rigorous research. And to create a richer, more science-based holistic standard for total body wellness in every culture.

Setting a New Standard for TCM Practices

A visit to a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioner will often include four types of analysis: inspection, auscultation (listening to various organs), inquiry/questioning, and palpation (feeling with the fingers/hands). After considering all of these factors, a subjective diagnosis will be made.

The key word is subjective. The customary way someone is diagnosed with a TCM-related condition is based on the opinions of a single TCM practitioner. There are no objective measures used. And references to clinical studies or statistical analyses are rare.

Creating a more common criteria from which TCM practitioners can assess their clients would help ensure more consistent care. And for TCM practices to be measured scientifically, more objective methods that produce reliable, replicable, and non-biased results are needed.

There are many conditions and criteria considered by TCM practitioners. So, to begin creating an objective standard, USANA scientists first chose the condition to target with a new protocol: Protective Qi Deficiency (PQD).

Qi is a vital life force that flows through the body. There are several types, but protective qi is similar to innate immunity. It is considered a shield against evils. And deficiency of this type of qi is thought to predispose a person to invasion by pathogens.

Once researchers settled on PQD, they collected and defined potential factors associated with the condition to study. They started by reviewing published research, ancient TCM scriptures, and more modern TCM diagnostic guidelines. The researchers also consulted with TCM experts.

The list of PQD risks was eventually refined to 13 parameters. USANA researchers next developed an algorithm based on statistical models that included these parameters in an experimental protocol. Then they put the protocol to the test.

Studying an Eastern System with Western Science

USANA’s TCM study included a total of 207 participants, ages 18 to 65. They were broken into two separate groups. This was so researchers could first compile a data set that would narrow down the list of risk parameters to those truly significant in diagnosing PQD. Then the data from a second group was used to validate the final protocol for accuracy and consistency.

There were 151 participants in the first group. Every participant was examined by one of three highly trained TCM practitioners, each with 25+ years of experience. Each session consisted of two types of evaluation for PQD: a traditional and an experimental protocol.

Researchers used the data from group one to refine their initial PQD risk algorithm. The revised version was then assessed by an expert panel of six TCM practitioners from different geographic locations.

These practitioners were independent and not otherwise involved in the study. They were also unknown to each other. So, there was no opportunity for one practitioner to influence the opinions of the others.

Each independent practitioner returned their recommendations. And USANA researchers then modified the risk-scoring algorithm. Revisions continued until an acceptable level of agreement was reached by all.

The final algorithm was narrowed down from 13 to eight measures that played a major role in the diagnosis of Protective Qi Deficiency. They were as follows:

    1. Tongue appearance
    2. Voice strength (low voice and apathy)
    3. Cold frequency (how often the participant came down with a cold)
    4. Current or ongoing presence/absence of a cold
    5. Spontaneous sweating
    6. Aversion to wind or cold temperatures
    7. Overall pulse (three separate pulse points measured)
    8. Cun pulse (measurement from the pulse point closest to the wrist)

Each of the measures were weighted differently. The strongest predictors of PQD were found to be Cun pulse, cold frequency, or tongue appearance. However, diagnosis was less accurate if only one measure was examined. All eight needed to be considered to achieve the most consistent and accurate risk score for PQD.

Rigorous Research Pays Off with Enhanced Endpoints

The first phase of the study was completed and the scoring for the algorithm was refined. The next step in the process was using data from the second group of participants to validate it.

Fifty-six individuals were examined for PQD. This time, every participant was interviewed by all three Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners (the same as those who examined group one). And once again, each session used two methods of evaluation: the traditional and experimental protocol.

The data from all of the sessions was cross-examined by USANA researchers and statistical models were applied to evaluate the accuracy of the PQD-risk score. They found the experimental scoring system’s ratio for correct predictions ranged from 94.2 to 98.2 percent. This indicates that the risk score was very accurate.

And it was repeatedly accurate.

Agreement can vary between TCM practitioners when diagnosing conditions using traditional methods. Ranges of agreement can go as low as 10 percent up to 60 percent. This means, between two practitioners, someone would receive a consistent diagnosis 10 to 60 percent of the time.

Agreement can increase up to 85 percent if the symptoms are discussed between practitioners ahead of time. However, USANA’s experimental risk scoring system was still superior.

When the TCM practitioners used the new algorithm, agreement among all three was 99.3 percent or greater. This outcome shows USANA’s scoring system results in a high degree of consistency when assessing PQD.

Accuracy and consistency are key. They’re necessary for creating more robust and relevant outcomes for those using TCM. And they’re also essential for aiding the scientific community in designing rigorous TCM-based clinical trials.

USANA Traditional Chinese Medicine Study Sets a New Path

Advancements in nutritional science requires trailblazers with innovative and creative ways of thinking. The USANA Traditional Chinese Medicine study marries Western approaches to research with Eastern approaches to well-being. It’s an exciting step in creating a new template for moving the science of holistic health and wellness forward. The study helps break down borders between past traditions and modern science, blazing a path to creating better, proven health outcomes for all.

Skincare isn’t always simple. From a pared-down cleanse-moisturize-protect routine to a 15-step Korean beauty regimen—and everything in-between—you may wonder what’s the best approach for you? Which skincare products are the best to counteract the look of aging? How do you know if your products will really work?

Look for the proof.

A 2019 clinical trial on USANA Celavive regimens revealed real beauty benefits when products were used as directed for about two months. Below, you’ll discover the impressive results of using advanced skincare that goes beyond what you see. And you’ll understand why the majority of women who completed the study wanted to keep using Celavive® Skincare after the trial ended.

USANA Science Summary

  • USANA sponsored an unpublished, single-center clinical trial to determine the results of using the Celavive regimens for eight weeks. Tests were administered at the Dallas Research Center by Thomas J. Stephens & Associates, Inc.—an independent research organization.
  • Participants were women with a median age of 50–51 from a range of races and ethnicities.
  • The women used the Celavive regimen recommended for their skin type—dry/sensitive or oily/combination—including treatment products and the Exfoliating Scrub+Mask.
  • Significant improvements were seen in both clinical and self-perceived measures related to visible aging. Noticeable results included reduced visible fine lines and wrinkles, diminished look of pigmentation, smoother texture, and increased radiance.

Many changes were noticeable in as little as four weeks. And more enhancements were seen after eight weeks. This progression demonstrates continued use of Celavive Skincare can help your skin look and feel increasingly refreshed, revitalized, and refined.

Celavive Clinical Trial Design

Fifty middle-aged women—from a range of backgrounds and with moderate facial photodamage—were selected to participate in the Celavive clinical trial. Photodamage was defined as the presence of fine lines, wrinkles, uneven pigmentation, or other common visible signs of aging.

Digital images (“before pictures”) were taken of the women’s faces, using a photo station specifically designed for skin analysis. Then 12 clinical assessments of their skin condition were taken to establish a baseline. Researchers also measured skin’s moisture levels using a Corneometer®—the instrument most widely used to determine hydration levels.

Beyond clinical measures, user perception was also evaluated. For this study, women answered a questionnaire to indicate their subjective opinion about 15 aspects of their skin’s condition.

Group Demographics

The women self-selected their skin type and were split into one of two equal-sized groups: the dry/sensitive group or oily/combination group. Then they followed the Celavive regimen recommended for their skin type—applying products twice a day, in the morning and evening.

The women returned to the clinic for follow-up after using the Celavive products for four and eight weeks. Digital images and the same clinical measures were taken. And they completed the same subjective questionnaire. Additionally, participants answered questions about their experience using the products.

The results were largely positive and are summarized below.

Radiant Results Reflected in Clinical Measures

The look and feel of your skin changes with age. For the Celavive clinical trial, several aspects of normal skin aging were measured:

  • Number and depth of fine lines and wrinkles
  • Size and perceptibility of pores
  • Look and feel of skin’s texture
  • Luminosity or dullness
  • Evenness of skin tone
  • Level of discoloration
  • Skin sagging or tightness
  • Overall appearance of health

Statistically significant improvements in most clinical measures of visible skin aging were experienced in both groups by week four of using the Celavive regimens. And all parameters improved in both groups by week eight.

•     Indicates statistically significant improvement compared to baseline

–     Indicates no statistically significant change compared to baseline

No significant change was noted in Corneometer measures of skin hydration. However, there was an upward trend by week eight. (Celavive products provide topical moisture when applied daily. The lack of measurable change could be related to skin turnover rate, which slows with age—a longer study would be needed to confirm.)

Both groups experienced significant improvements in the clinical measures related to the look of aging. There were sizeable increases between weeks four and eight, indicating an increasing or cumulative effect over time. You can see the results for the dry/sensitive and oily/combination regimens below.

4- and 8-Week % Improvement: Dry/Sensitive Group

4- and 8-Week % Improvement: Oily/Combination

These results show that using the Celavive products together provides clinically measurable improvements in skin’s look and feel in a short amount of time. While this study only lasted for two months, there’s skin would likely continue to show even more visible enhancements when used long-term.

Participants Report Beautiful Benefits in Celavive Clinical Trial

Real-world results are the true test of your skincare routine. Women who participated in this trial provided firsthand reports of their experience with the Celavive regimens. Those who completed the study generally tolerated the products well. There were no serious reactions to the products, indicating that the products are generally safe for most skin types.

Most importantly, the assessments of product performance on their skin condition were nothing short of glowing.

After eight weeks, the majority of participants considered the look and feel of their complexion to be significantly better than before using the products. In fact, 80 percent of those using the oily/combination Celavive regimen and 84 percent of the dry/sensitive group reported improvements in how much they liked the overall appearance of their skin, even up close.

8-Week % Improvement on Self-Assessment of Skin Condition

When it came to a separate questionnaire on product performance, the participants’ ratings were also quite favorable at week eight.

Most notably, 80 percent of the oily/combination-regimen group said they liked using the products. With 72 percent saying they would buy and continue using Celavive (assuming a reasonable cost).

Similarly, 96 percent of the dry/sensitive-regimen group said they liked using the products. And 92 percent would buy and continue using Celavive.

The chart below illustrates the percentage of favorable responses to questions about various aspects of Celavive product performance.

You’ve heard the argument before. “You can get all the nutrients you need from a healthy, whole-food diet.” Sure. Maybe in an ideal world. But nobody lives in an ideal world. Living in reality means admitting a supplement is an easy nutritional insurance plan. It’s a quick way to help ensure you consume the nutrition your cells need to thrive every day. *

Of course, all supplements aren’t created equal. A comprehensive-formula matters. Quality ingredients that are absorbed matters. Science also matters. That’s why USANA invested in a four-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to quantify the impact of taking the USANA® CellSentials™ for one month has on healthy adults.

The four-week CellSentials study found taking a full dose of Vita Antioxidant and Core Minerals twice a day improved a number of nutrition and health measures. This research shows daily supplementation is helpful for raising key nutrient levels in your body and supporting your well-being.*


USANA Science Summary

  • USANA published the results of a double-blind, placebo-controlled study conducted in 23 participants for four weeks.
  • Healthy adults, ages 23 to 43, took two tablets of Vita Antioxidant and two tablets of Core Minerals, twice a day.
  • Levels of vitamins B6, B12, folate, C, D, E, and K increased significantly.
  • Levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD), one of your body’s innate protective antioxidants, increased.
  • Support for healthy homocysteine and HDL cholesterol levels already within normal range was also observed.*

The results of the CellSentials study were published in the Journal of Functional Foods in 2019.

(This study revisits and expands upon findings from previously unpublished research that showed the supplement pair raised circulating serum nutrient levels.)

Let’s take a closer look at the findings.

CellSentials Study Shows Enhanced Status of Key Nutrients

Dietary surveys often show that people don’t eat enough of several key vitamins and minerals. Why is getting enough of these nutrients a big deal?

There are many health-related reasons you need a solid foundation of nutrition. But here’s one you may not have heard before: insufficient amounts of some nutrients in your body could lead to something called “hidden hunger.”

Hidden hunger is the phenomenon where people eat enough calories in a day but still don’t have adequate levels of certain nutrients in the body. So, their body signals them to eat more in an effort to top off low nutrient stores.

This invisible form of scarcity is especially common in those who lack diversity in food choices or who eat too much processed or nutritionally deficient food. Unfortunately, many inexpensive foods tend to be low in key nutrients, which is why low-income earners can be at higher risk for hidden hunger.

For the purpose of this study, USANA narrowed the focus to vitamins that are often insufficient in average diets. This includes vitamins A, C, D, E, and K, plus some B vitamins—B6, B12, and folate.

Participants fasted for 12 hours and blood was drawn to set baseline levels before the study began. Then fasted blood samples were drawn again at the end of the four weeks. There were significant increases in blood levels of seven of the eight vitamins:

  • Vitamin B6—plays important roles in energy metabolism and maintaining healthy homocysteine levels (an amino acid—more on this below)*.
  • Vitamin B12—supports energy, nerves, healthy blood cells, and DNA synthesis; also plays a role in folate metabolism.*
  • Folate (vitamin B9)—helps make genetic material and DNA and supports healthy cell growth and function; critical for women of childbearing age to support a baby’s healthy neural tube development in the earliest days of pregnancy.*
  • Vitamin C—provides antioxidant defense and is important for immunity, production of collagen (and other compounds), and use of iron in the body.*
  • Vitamin D—supports cell health, strong bones, immunity, and nerve and muscle function.*
  • Vitamin E—provides antioxidant defense and supports cognitive health as well as liver and immune function.*
  • Vitamin K—aids blood clotting along with bone, cardiovascular, liver, muscle, and cartilage health.*

Vitamin A was also measured. However, no significant change was observed. The reason is unclear. However, it could be due to the population studied: people already sufficient in vitamin A.

Your body maintains a fairly stable amount of vitamin A in plasma. It’s tightly controlled by the liver. So, changes may only have been seen if participants were deficient.

Maintaining sufficient vitamin A is important to support eye health (night vision), immunity, reproductive health, and gene expression.*

Increasing Your Innate Protective Antioxidants with InCelligence™

The CellSentials are more than a multivitamin. They also supply nutrients that can encourage your body to create its own powerful antioxidants. Amplifying your antioxidant levels is important, because the modern world is a free-radical-generating, cell-damaging jumble of junk foods, pollutants, and stresses. *

One way your body creates antioxidants is via the Nrf2 signaling pathway. Nrf2 is a chain of cellular reactions that’s activated when your body’s cells sense they need a boost in protection against free radicals. The InCelligence Complex in Vita Antioxidant includes several nutrients that can influence this pathway, including EGCG from green tea, curcumin, and resveratrol.

One protective antioxidant produced by Nrf2 activity is superoxide dismutase (SOD). This enzyme provides a first line of defense to help suppress the formation of free radicals in cells—stopping trouble before it starts.

Those who consumed the CellSentials in this study had elevated SOD activity after four weeks. This is evidence InCelligence Technology™ in the product works to enhance your body’s natural ability to protect itself from stresses. *

Increasing SOD is a good thing. Generally, as you age, your levels tend to go down. This increases your exposure to oxidative damage that can have adverse effects on your health. On the other hand, maintaining higher levels of SOD can help support healthy aging. *

As one of the most powerful antioxidant in the cell, SOD supports your health and well-being in many ways. It limits lipid peroxidation (when free radicals attack and damage fats) to help maintain healthy tissues throughout your body. Cognitive and immune function are protected by SOD. And it also has been shown to help maintain healthy carotid artery thickness to support cardiovascular function.*

Support for Cardiovascular Health Shown in CellSentials Study

Increased SOD isn’t the only way the CellSentials support the health of your cardiovascular system. Many micronutrients in the products are linked to maintained heart health:*

  • Zinc
  • Selenium
  • Magnesium
  • Vitamin C
  • Vitamin K

Many phytonutrients like lycopene and resveratrol have also shown cardiovascular health support. Plus, the added coenzyme Q10 in CellSentials helps your cells make the energy needed to keep your heart beating strong.*

Heart health is one of the top wellness concerns worldwide. So, the CellSentials study looked at a number of measures to see how one month of supplementation influenced cardiovascular function. Two positive results stood out: lower homocysteine and higher HDL levels.

Homocysteine is an amino acid (a building block of proteins). If you have too much in your body, it can damage endothelial cells. These cells help your blood vessels contract and relax for circulation. That’s why keeping homocysteine levels in a normal, healthy range is important for maintaining cardiovascular function. It’s also been linked to cognitive, mood, and bone health.*

Levels of homocysteine were lowered by 12 percent in CellSentials users, compared to a 1.26 percent difference in the placebo group. This could be due to the increase seen in B12 and folate levels. Both nutrients have been shown to help maintain healthy homocysteine levels. *

HDL cholesterol (the “good” kind) was also increased in the CellSentials group. HDL finds harmful cholesterol in your bloodstream and sends it to the liver for disposal. This is why optimal levels of HDL are linked to cardiovascular health. *

The increase in HDL shows the CellSentials are a heart-smart option for maintaining healthy cholesterol levels.*

The CellSentials Study is Science You Can Use

If you take a nutritional supplement for your health, sometimes it can be hard to notice a difference in how you feel on a daily basis. Supplements are made to help you maintain the healthy body you already have. So, you may not feel much different unless you are truly deficient in a given nutrient. *

The CellSentials study helps you see the effects of using USANA’s foundational nutritional supplement for only one month. Nutrient status improves. Innate antioxidant defenses are enhanced. And your cardiovascular health is protected. *

The USANA CellSentials are a great investment in your overall wellness. They’ll help you avoid hidden hungers and meet your nutritional needs for optimal health. Make Vita Antioxidant and Core Minerals your nutritional insurance plan. Take two of each, twice a day to help ensure your cells and your body will have what they need to thrive. *

Get a Naturally Ageless Glow with Celavive Exfoliating Scrub+Mask

Celavive Exfoliating Scrub+Mask

Multitasking scrub and mask combination removes dead skin, dirt, and oil; refines complexion; and protects against the visible effects of pollution.


Seeing a lifeless complexion when you look in the mirror can leave you feeling less than confident. Your skin could look dull if pollution from urban environments, lingering dirt, and dead surface cells build up. Eliminating the grime is the key to a radiant reflection. Now, the Celavive Exfoliating Scrub+Mask can help you take your complexion from lackluster to luminous in minutes.

The dual-action scrub and mask provides immediate and long-lasting benefits. It deep cleans and detoxifies after each use. And, it promotes healthy-looking skin by supporting cell turnover and defending against the visible effects of pollution. This helps reveal your ageless beauty in three ways:

  • Improves skin’s texture and minimizes the appearance of pores for a smooth, refined complexion
  • Reduces appearance of dark spots and discoloration for even skin tone
  • Visibly renews skin’s firmness for a naturally youthful-looking appearance

Exfoliating Scrub+Mask is safe for all skin types. Gentle hydrogel beads and charcoal help remove dirt, oil, and dead skin. At the same time, a unique mix of plant-based extracts, including the Olivol® Botanical Blend, revives radiance and shields your skin from the visible side effects of air pollution.

A few times a week, apply the Exfoliating Scrub+Mask to clean, dry skin and massage in circular motions. (You can add a little water if you’d like an even gentler scrub experience.) The product goes on dark grey and will lighten in color as you use it.

On busy days, you can scrub, rinse, and go. When you have more time, leave it on for 10 to 15 minutes for a purifying mask treatment. Rinsing will reveal skin that looks polished and vibrant and feels soft and refreshed.

After using Celavive Exfoliating Scrub+Mask, your skin will be free from any dead skin cells or impurities that might block absorption of your remaining skincare products. Follow with the rest of your Celavive treatment products and the moisturizer that’s right for your skin type.

Polish and Purify for Pore Perfection

Your face is covered with pores—two types, in fact. There are sweat ducts that excrete perspiration and toxins. And there are follicles, where hair comes through and most of your sebaceous glands are found. Sebaceous glands are responsible for producing sebum—an oily substance that hydrates and protects your skin.

Your pores play important roles in keeping your skin healthy. But they can become blocked with excess sebum, dirt, dead skin, or sweat. This can cause blackheads and also make your pores wider and more visible.

Fortunately, your skincare routine can help refine the appearance of your pores. Start by choosing non-comedogenic makeup and skincare products. That means they’re formulated with ingredients that won’t clog pores. It’s also important to cleanse your face in the morning and evening.

Exfoliating Scrub+Mask is a great addition to your pore-perfecting skincare routine. The dual-action power helps prevent clogs and make your pores less noticeable.

A Gentle Scrub That’s Safe for All Skin Types

Unlike some scrubs, you can use Exfoliating Scrub+Mask to regularly exfoliate dead, dry, flaky skin for a smoother, brighter appearance.

Other scrubs use harsh exfoliants like apricot kernel shells, which can cause microtears that may damage your skin barrier, leaving it vulnerable. The hydrogel beads in Exfoliating Scrub+Mask are extremely gentle and won’t damage or irritate skin. They’re made from a naturally pliable glucomannan fiber (from konjac root) coated with a soft gel.

The hydrogel beads are unique because they absorb excess oil and impurities and replenish moisture as they exfoliate. And, because they’re plant-based, they’re 100 percent biodegradable. So, the beads are gentle on your skin and kind to the planet (unlike scrubs that use plastic microbeads—which are now banned in the United States).

A Detoxifying Mask Deep Cleans

As a mask, the 2-in-1 formula of Exfoliating Scrub+Mask also pulls lingering impurities from deep within your pores to make them less visible.

Enlarged pores are a common skin complaint. And large pores aren’t only vexing. They’re also associated with more severe skin wrinkling, which can make you look prematurely older. Often, pores are stretched out when dirt or excess sebum is not sufficiently cleansed by regular face washing. A deeper clean is needed to maintain a refined appearance.

Charcoal is effective for detoxifying your pores to renew healthy-looking skin. It’s delivered along with a mineral-rich sea silt (a clay-like substance with fine particles) to nourish your skin as it purifies. Simply leave the mask on your face for up to 15 minutes. It will help pull excess oils, sebum, bacteria, or other impurities from your pores. When you’re done, you’ll see clear, clean skin that feels refreshed and energized.

Celavive Exfoliating Scrub+Mask delivers visible beauty benefits quickly. After only one use, skin analysis shows the look of less dead skin on the surface, increased smoothness, and smaller pore size.

Regular Use Renews Your Naturally Ageless Glow

Using a scrub with gentle ingredients that won’t damage your delicate skin is one way Exfoliating Scrub+Mask helps protect your healthy glow. But it’s not the only way. Specialized ingredients in the product also revitalize a dull-looking complexion with hydrating extracts that support the skin’s natural renewal process.

Hydration is vital for a dewy, fresh-faced look. USANA’s Olivol Botanical Blend is included in the Exfoliating Scrub+Mask to infuse your skin with long-lasting moisture. The exclusive blend delivers 24 hours of hydration by helping your skin attract and hold water like a sponge. Restored moisture will leave your skin feeling soothed and refreshed after you rinse. And maintaining moisture is essential for keeping your skin barrier healthy, soft, and smooth.

Saccharide isomerate is another hydration helper that promotes renewed radiance. This natural sugar is isolated from a marine-sourced microorganism found on the shore of a river in France. It penetrates deeply to support your skin’s natural ability to replenish moisture and stay hydrated longer. The sugar also makes exfoliation with a scrub more effective by stimulating your skin’s natural renewal process.

Your skin has distinct layers. And over the course of about 28 days, cells move from the deepest layer all the way to the top, where they are shed. This turnover process is vital for maintaining healthy-looking skin. However, the process can work less effectively as you age. The slowdown is also influenced by other factors, including changes in hormone balance or nutrient deficiencies. If the dead skin cells on your face aren’t shed, it can cause your skin to look dull and prematurely older.

You can help loosen the dead, dry skin, so it’s removed more easily. When applied topically, the saccharide isomerate acts like a natural sugar in your skin that promotes cell turnover. It works to weaken the bond of dead skin cells that are ready to be shed with the healthy layer below.

By weakening the adhesion of the dead surface skin cells, this ingredient dramatically increases exfoliation. It offers similar action to alpha-hydroxy acids or other chemical exfoliants. But it is much gentler on skin and generally won’t cause sensitivity.

Replenishing moisture and supporting a healthy rate of cell turnover will help ensure a refreshed appearance as your skin renews itself. Dry flakes will be banished. And your complexion’s natural glow will increasingly shine through as you continue to use Exfoliating Scrub+Mask over time.

One study found after using saccharide isomerate for four weeks, skin appeared measurably smoother with pores less visible. And applying N-acetyl glucosamine (one of the two sugars that make up the ingredient) to the skin has also shown promise for reducing the look of dark spots or discoloration, improving the appearance of overall skin tone.

Celavive Exfoliating Scrub+Mask is Your Skin’s Pollution Solution

Your skin is constantly exposed to air pollution. And while the pollutants are usually invisible to the naked eye, exposure can eventually show up on your complexion.

Air pollution is all around you—inside and outside. Cars, industrial facilities, building materials, smoking, and even natural events like forest fires and volcanoes can release pollutants. Some of the most common sources are:

  • UV rays, especially when they interact with other compounds in the air
  • Compounds and small particles released from burning coal, oil, gasoline, trash, tobacco, and wood
  • Chemicals released from common items in your home or office, like solvents, paints, adhesives, cleaners, pesticides, and insect repellents

The World Health Organization reports nine out of 10 people around the world live where air quality exceeds guideline limits. Even some of the most advanced countries can still have pollution levels above quality targets. That’s bad news for your health and your skin.

Your skin barrier is the outermost layer of your skin that’s exposed to the environment. A strong barrier is vital for skin that looks healthy, hydrated, and youthful. It protects your skin’s vibrance by keeping toxins and allergens out and holding moisture in.

A 2017 review article summarized the effects repeated exposure to air pollution can have on your skin barrier. It reported that high levels of pollution can overwhelm your skin barrier’s natural defenses and cause excessive oxidative stress. Eventually, that stress can damage your skin’s integrity and balance.

A disrupted skin barrier spells trouble for your complexion:

  • Skin can become dry, sensitive, and irritated.
  • Dark spots or discoloration may appear.
  • Skin may start to look prematurely older, with visible sagging and wrinkles.

You can protect yourself from the pollution problem on two fronts. On the inside, you can support your skin’s defenses by eating a diet rich in antioxidants and essential nutrients, including B vitamins.

On the outside, you can defend your skin from pollution by shielding it with smart sun protection. And by applying targeted ingredients specifically designed to help block the visible effects of pollution.

The ingredients in Celavive Exfoliating Scrub+Mask are your skin-saving pollution solution.

In addition to the charcoal powder, which helps absorb surface-level pollutants, Camellia japonica flower extract offers distinct anti-pollution benefits. The hardy red flower is able to grow in the snow of its native Korea and Japan. It’s known by many names: rose of winter, Japanese camellia, Tsubaki, or DongBaek. The bloom is rich in protocatechuic acid—a potent polyphenol (a type of phytonutrient).

Camellia japonica extract supports a youthful look and feel by improving skin hydration and softness. It also offers excellent protective power with antioxidants that neutralize oxidative stress caused by exposure to pollution.

These protective powers have real, visible benefits. Free radicals generated by pollution can cause skin to look prematurely older. By reducing the visible effects of free radicals, Camellia japonica can help diminish the appearance of photoaging and maintain skin’s firmness.

Continued use will result in skin that looks and feels noticeably younger. Research conducted in a heavily polluted urban center in Korea revealed a significant reduction in the appearance of skin wrinkles after participants applied a lotion containing Camellia japonica for eight weeks.

Even in the face of heavy pollution, the Exfoliating Scrub+Mask will protect against the look of premature aging. It cleanses away dirt without stripping vital moisture, and banishes dry, dead skin for a flawless appearance. The mask and scrub also helps maintain skin’s visible firmness and elasticity.

Seeing a lifeless complexion reflected in the mirror is a thing of the past. You’ll love the way your skin looks when you use Celavive Exfoliating Scrub+Mask as part of your weekly skincare routine.
