When your gut health is off balance, an upset stomach or irregularity can be hard to ignore. If you want to maintain regularity and support comfortable, dependable digestion, take an active role in your digestive health with Fibergy Active. Dietary fiber keeps the food you eat moving through your digestive system and keeps the bacteria that live in your digestive tract healthy.*

The Role of Fiber in Gut Health


Fibergy Active makes it easy to add more fiber to your diet with a low‑glycemic, vegan‑friendly blend that delivers nine grams of fiber per serving. It helps support regularity and digestive comfort and provides prebiotic fiber to help nourish beneficial gut bacteria—all in one simple daily scoop.*


Nine out of 10 people need to consume more fiber. While the recommended intake for fiber is between 25 and 30 grams daily, the average adult only eats about 16 grams of dietary fiber a day. It’s hard for your digestive system to operate at full strength with only half the fiber it needs every day.

Meet your daily fiber needs with Fibergy Active—a convenient, naturally low-glycemic way to add complex carbs to your diet.*

Fibergy Active is a blend of dietary fibers that are vegan-friendly, naturally sourced, and boasts a hefty nine grams of fiber. Dietary fiber supports your digestive system in key ways:*

  • Maintains good digestive health: Support good digestive health by promoting regularity, and feeding beneficial gut bacteria, for supporting smooth, comfortable digestion.*
  • Feeds and maintains your gut microbiome: Nourish beneficial gut bacteria with prebiotic fibers that support microbial growth, promote diversity, and fuel fermentation processes, helping maintain a balanced, thriving microbiome for optimal digestive health.*
  • Supports good cardiovascular and metabolic health: Dietary fiber slows digestion to help maintain healthy blood glucose levels and supports heart health by binding to LDL cholesterol in the gut, aiding its removal from the body.*
  • Actively supports weight management: Maintain a healthy weight by curbing cravings, slowing digestion, and promoting fullness, while providing low calorie fiber that supports appetite control without disrupting your diet.*

Fibergy Active supports comfortable, dependable digestion by keeping food moving through the digestive tract and maintaining a healthy balance of gut bacteria. Building on the need to address widespread fiber insufficiency and offer a convenient way to meet daily intake recommendations, USANA developed Fibergy Active through a deliberate, research‑driven process.*

How Fibergy Active was Created


USANA scientists developed Fibergy Active through a multi‑step, research‑driven process that included evaluating formulas in lab-based gut models, refining the blend with fruit powders, and assessing the final formula in a human study.*


Recognizing the need for a dietary fiber product to support healthy digestion, USANA’s researchers and scientists followed a stepwise development process to achieve this goal.*

Step 1: Researchers began by selecting five potential formulas based on current best research on fibers and the human gut microbiome.*

The five formulas underwent a short-term test in a synthetic gut model, which utilized human gut microbiota to model how the formulas would react in the gut.*

Step 2: The best performing formula was compared against three variations of itself using the same human gut microbiota model.*

Step 3: The results from all eight formulas were compared with a scoring rubric that assessed measurements such as short-chain fatty acid production, bifidobacterial increase, and gas production. The top scoring formula was selected as the base for Fibergy Active.*

Next, whole-food fruit powders were added to the base formula, since other compounds in fruit beyond just the fiber can support good health. The final formula underwent a long-term three-week study in an expanded synthetic gut model.*

Step 4: The formula was tested on humans in a clinical study. This careful research and testing resulted in the Fibergy Active used today to help support the digestion of so many people throughout the world.*

Stepwise Fiber Blend Selection Process


Why These Ingredients were Chosen


Fibergy Active combines carefully selected fibers and real fruit powders to help support regularity, digestive comfort, and a healthy gut environment. The blend provides prebiotic fiber to help nourish beneficial gut bacteria as part of your everyday routine.*


The final formula for Fibergy Active brings together a blend of ingredients designed to sustain your digestive health, support regularity, nourish beneficial gut bacteria, and promote overall digestive comfort.*

  • Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) are short-chain fructose (sugar) molecules —essentially small bits of soluble fiber that dissolve easily in water and move smoothly through your gut. FOS occur naturally in many plants and are a source of natural sweetness.*
  • Sugarcane fiber is an insoluble component of many fiber products. Insoluble fibers add weight and bulk to the food you digest, coaxing it through your digestive tract so you can digest comfortably.*
  • Agave inulin is a prebiotic fiber that nourishes beneficial gut bacteria, promotes microbial diversity, supports regularity, and helps produce short‑chain fatty acids that contribute to digestive comfort and nutrient absorption.*
  • Apple, blueberry, and raspberry powders are full of phytochemicals and antioxidants that synergize with fiber to optimize your digestion.*

These carefully researched ingredients help support regularity and comfort in your digestive system and contribute to Fibergy Active’s effectiveness in sustaining healthy digestion.*

Clinical Evidence Supporting Fibergy Active


In a human clinical study, Fibergy Active was shown to increase certain gut bacteria and gut‑derived metabolites associated with a healthy microbiome. These findings suggest it may help support normal digestive function when consumed daily.*


USANA partnered with Ragle Human Nutrition Center, University of California, Davis to perform a randomized placebo-controlled, double-blind crossover study. The goal of this study was to test how Fibergy Active performed in humans as opposed to synthetic gut models.*

The clinical study included twenty healthy adults, aged 18-45, with low fiber diets. Each participant received either the fiber blend or a placebo for four weeks, followed by a four-week washout period. Participants then received the other product (either fiber blend or placebo) for another four weeks. This meant that each participant could act as their own control.*

To study the impact to the gut microbiome, researchers collected questionnaire data and fecal samples from participants to measure changes in the microbiome. DNA extracted from the fecal samples was put into sequencing machines, which revealed what sorts of bacteria and other microorganisms were present in the sample. Then, statistical models analyzed the data to help make sense of all the information collected from the samples. This helped researchers understand what happened to the gut microbiome during the study.*

One of the main changes found in the microbiome was an increase in Actinobacteria, particularly Bifidobacterium. These “friendly” microbes are commonly associated with gut health, contributing to microbiome composition and microbial metabolite production, though their effects can vary by individual and context. This statically significant increase only occurred with prebiotic supplementation compared to the placebo.*

In addition to demonstrating the increase in Bifidobacterium levels, the 12g/day prebiotic fiber dose also led to changes in plasma metabolites, particularly indoleproprionate (IPA) (a gut‑microbiota‑derived metabolite that has been associated in prior research with gut and metabolic health). Recent research provides a growing body of evidence for IPA-associated benefits linked to gut health and helping to maintain a healthy inflammatory balance in the body.*

RESULTS: The conclusions of this study showed that a low daily dose (12g) of Fibergy influenced the gut microbiome in specific ways. The fiber blend led to an increase in Bifidobacterium and increased levels of indolepropionate (IPA). These changes show that Fibergy Active can help “feed” certain beneficially associated gut microbes and support some of the natural processes they use.*

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


A scoop of Fibergy Active is a convenient way to support your fiber intake and keep your digestion comfortable and effective on regular days. It’s formulated with a neutral taste for ultimate versatility, making it an easy addition to your protein shake or green drink.*

In a single daily drink, Fibergy Active supports healthy weight management and cardiovascular wellness. Plus, it supports gut health, healthy blood sugar levels already in the normal range, and overall heart health.*

Key Ingredients

  • Fructooligosaccharides
  • Organic Agave Inulin
  • Sugarcane Fiber
  • Apple, raspberry, and blueberry powders

Electrify Your Water with USANA Electrolyte Replacement Drink Mix

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.*

The oils your skin produces help seal in moisture and condition your skin so your complexion looks and feels soft and hydrated. Sometimes your natural oil production can fall out of balance. That’s where the moisturizing components of Radiant Facial Oil step in.

Dry skin is often behind the visible signs of aging. Wrinkles, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation all stem from skin that lacks moisture, hampering your natural radiance and glow.

A supplemental facial oil is a great way to support your skin’s natural ability to retain moisture. The botanical oils and Chloroplastin cell-signaling actives in Radiant Facial Oil are full of the hydrating agents your skin needs to thrive.

The cell-signaling actives included in the formulation helps combat the visible signs of aging by moisturizing skin. This leaves your complexion looking plump, smooth, and well-hydrated so you can glow.

Learn About the Botanical Oils Found in USANA Radiant Facial Oil

Plant power drives the effectiveness you’ll experience with this facial oil. Fifteen unique botanical oils blend together to deliver antioxidants and moisture to your skin. Here are four of the potent plant oils that make Radiant Facial Oil great hydration support for your complexion.

  • Jojoba Oil: Jojoba oil refines, hydrates, and rejuvenates your complexion—giving your skin an instantly radiant and luminous look.
  • Argan Oil: This is a must-have for the most discerning of skin care enthusiasts. This special oil is brimming with fatty acids that soothe and protect your skin, so your complexion can glow as much as you do.
  • Rosehip Oil: Another trendy skincare ingredient, rosehip oil is known for its youth-preserving properties. Rosehip oil helps maintain a youthful complexion by visibly smoothing fine lines and wrinkles. This oil can optimize the appearance of your complexion by minimizing the look of discoloration and hyperpigmentation.
  • Sunflower Oil: Also called soline, sunflower oil is full of beneficial fatty acids that make it an excellent addition to Radiant Facial Oil. This plant oil is “unsaponifiable”, which means it is absorbed quickly by the skin. So you experience hydration and moisturizing benefits quickly, for skin that looks visibly younger and brighter.

And these four botanical oils are just the beginning. Study the full list of USANA Radiant Facial Oil ingredients to see what other plant oils are working to elevate your glow.

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.

Bright-eyed and bushy-tailed is how the saying goes. But it’s not just your eyes that could use an awakening. Your complexion can benefit from a pick-me-up too.

In a 2020 skincare clinical trial sponsored by USANA, researchers discovered beautiful, bright results with the Celavive Vivid White Sheet Mask, Light Complexion Serum, Dark Spot Corrector, and Luminous Moisture Cream. When used as directed for the duration of the skincare trial, the participants in this study saw visible radiant changes and the appearance of glowing improvements to their skin.

Glowing skin is in, now more than ever. And radiant skin starts with powerful and effective skincare. Look no further than the products in the Celavive Brightening line to achieve a vibrant complexion and a rejuvenated, refreshed look.

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

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.

Self-assessment of Benefits

Clinical trial participants helped assess the benefits of the brightening products. Their opinions were recorded and compared across the life of the study. Significantly more trial participants saw improvements from their baseline values at the beginning of the study.

4-, 8-, and 12-Week Percent Improvement from Baseline on Self-Assessment of Skin Conditions

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’S Stress and Mood Product Category

Keeping your head above the swirling waters of modern life is a difficult task. Obstacles and feelings of frustration await around every corner. That’s why USANA created a category of products to help support:

  • Adaptation to normal, occasional stress*
  • Balanced mood*
  • Calm feelings and a sense of well-being*

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.

  • 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.

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: 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.
