Youthful-Looking Skin Can Be Yours

Your eyes tell a story. So, project your brightness and youthful vibrancy to the world with Celavive Hydrating Eye Essence. This unique formula contains bioactive peptides, botanical extracts, and plant oils to illuminate three elements of visibly younger-looking skin—brightened, smoothed, and moisturized.

Key ingredients work together to reverse the visible effects of aging. Utilizing Celavive Hydrating Eye Essence on a regular basis can visibly reduce the signs of dark circles, crow’s feet, fine lines, and wrinkles.

Create a Bright Future for Your Eyes

Lessen the appearance of dark circles around your eyes. Using Celavive Hydrating Eye Essence helps you brighten your appearance and highlight that youthful sparkle in your eyes.

But how do dark circles develop in the first place? You might experience these circles for any number of reasons:

  • family history
  • irregular skin pigmentation
  • the pooling of blood in the area (especially after you sleep)
  • shadows from puffiness
  • time in the sun

Aging is one of the main culprits. As you get older, your skin thins and you lose fat and collagen—a structural protein. The skin around your eyes is already very thin, so it’s easy for blood to show through. Losing these structural components as you age makes the blood vessels more visible.

Combat many of these factors to brighten your skin with Celavive Hydrating Eye Essence’s powerful combination of ingredients.

Enhance Your Eyes with Revitalizing Nutrients

You can help revitalize the skin around your eyes with two stimulating extracts—Ginkgo biloba leaf extract and Albizia julibrissin (Persian silk tree) bark extract. Ginkgo isn’t just for your brain. It contains quercetin—a phytonutrient that exhibits antioxidant activity and helps minimize the appearance of redness. The bark of the Persian silk tree reduces the visibility of crow’s feet and dark circles.

Another ingredient that can help you look well-rested is glucosyl hesperidin. This antioxidant from citrus fruit helps revitalize your eye area to erase the appearance of fatigue.

You can enhance the look of brightness and beauty with Hydrating Eye Essence’s Horus K complex. It helps refresh the delicate skin around your eyes to improve the appearance of bags and dark circles. This is a blend of Rosa canina fruit oil, avocado oil, apricot kernel oil, and sunflower seed oil that’s rich in naturally derived vitamin K.

The bioactive peptides of the Hydrating Eye Essence also help even skin tone, brighten complexion, and reduce the appearance of dark spots. You’ll find Hexapeptides 9 and 33, along with Oligopeptide-6 in Hydrating Eye Essence. Don’t be intimidated by the names. A peptide is nothing more than short chains of amino acids—the building blocks of proteins. These peptides penetrate the skin to deliver wide-ranging benefits for healthy looking skin.

Celavive Hydrating Eye Essence Helps Smooth Your Skin’s Appearance

Smoothing out the impact of aging and your lifestyle is key to younger-looking skin. Nature and science combine in this hydrating essence to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around your eyes.

Let’s start with the science. The Celavive Cell Signaling Complex contains Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38, Hexapeptide-48 HCI, southernwood extract, and coffee-seed extract. Made with USANA InCelligence Technology®, this unique blend penetrates the skin to target key skin receptors. These ingredients help activate six major elements that can help produce a healthy skin matrix, including collagen, for younger-looking skin.

Collagen is the main structural protein in your skin’s connective tissues. But you make less collagen as you age. So, maintaining collagen is important for keeping your skin looking firm.

Hydrating Eye Essence delivers even more powerful action with added Hexapeptides 9 and 33, as well as Oligopeptide-6. This trio of potent peptides also hydrates and protects collagen in different ways to leave skin looking visibly lifted. These powerful ingredients reduce the visual intensity of facial wrinkles and also help keep skin looking smooth and refined.

The peptides get some help from many of the essence’s plant extracts, which support the look of youthful skin in different ways:

  • Persian silk tree bark extract (Albizia julibrissin) smooths the look of the skin to remove the appearance of wrinkles.
  • Pea (Pisum sativum) extract helps skin look tighter and firmer around the eyes.
  • Hydrolyzed okra (Hibiscus esculentus) extract helps smooth expression lines.
  • Ginkgo biloba leaf extract plays several roles in maintaining skin beauty. That includes helping to mask the visibility of imperfections and wrinkles to preserve smooth skin.

Healthy Hydration for Youthful, Radiant Eyes

It’s no coincidence that the product is called Celavive Hydrating Eye Essence. Age and lifestyle factors can dry out skin. But you’ll soak up the hydration you need to look younger and healthier because of these influential ingredients.

The Horus K Complex in the Celavive Hydrating Eye Essence contains a variety of plant oils that provide impressive amounts of moisture. That’s because the oils mimic your sebum—natural skin oil. This allows the complex to naturally moisturize without irritating the delicate skin around your eyes. And the fatty acids in these oils help promote a silky appearance.

The peptides in the Celavive Cell Signaling Complex also help with hydration. It helps stimulate lipid production for a more moisturized complexion. Additionally, these messengers target receptors in your skin that help promote healthy levels of hyaluronic acid for a visible plumping effect. If you’ve never heard of hyaluronic acid, it’s an important component of your skin. It has the ability to retain water, which makes it essential for skin hydration.

Protect and Moisturize Daily for Healthy Radiance

Your face goes through a lot every day. It’s exposed to weather and climate extremes, pollutants, or other lifestyle factors that can cause it to become dry or dehydrated. Age, too, can impact skin’s moisture levels. Declining moisture can cause your skin to look even older than you really are. And one of the biggest contributors to skin dryness and the appearance of premature aging is time spent in the sun.

So, what can you do to alleviate dry or dehydrated skin and fight the signs of aging?

While they act similarly, dehydrated skin and dry skin are different. Dry skin lacks oil and tends to flake (it often is dehydrated, too). Dehydrated skin lacks water and can feel tight, but can also be oily. Yes, oily skin can become dehydrated! In fact, dehydrated skin can cause overproduction of oil as cells work to restore a proper balance.

Most people’s skin needs more water, but not all skin needs more oil. This is why it’s important to choose a moisturizer created for your skin type.

Applying the right facial moisturizer daily can help keep skin looking youthful and vibrant. These formulas replenish dry or dehydrated skin with ingredients that attract and lock in moisture. Proper hydration helps ensure your skin’s moisture barrier function normally, so your skin doesn’t show signs of wrinkles prematurely. You can also support skin hydration from the inside by drinking plenty of water and eating omega-3 or linoleic fatty acids in your diet.

Diligently using sunscreen and smart sun protection are also crucial for supporting long-term skin health. Damage from sun exposure poses a series of serious problems for the skin. Sunburn can cause wrinkles, dark spots, and can increase the risk of skin cancer. Dermatologists recommend that you protect your skin from the sun’s damaging rays in three key ways:

  1. Limiting sun exposure, especially between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
  2. Wearing protective hats and clothing
  3. Applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher every day, even if it’s cloudy or you aren’t planning on spending time outdoors

Celavive® Protective Day Cream and Lotion Replenish Moisture for a Healthy, Firmer Appearance

Rehydrate and soften the look of your skin for an instant boost of luminosity and reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles with your Celavive daytime moisturizer. Each formula is made with the emollients best suited for your skin type. Both also deliver powerful active ingredients to replenish moisture, including shea butter (Butyrospermum parkii), nourishing plant extracts, and the exclusive Celavive Olivol Botanical Blend.

Shea butter is a rich moisturizer. Extracted from nuts of the African shea tree, shea butter has been used for years as an emollient in moisturizers and lotions. It contains large amounts of long-chain fatty acids, which absorb quickly to help restore moisture and support healthy collagen—a key structural protein that keeps your skin looking firm.

Supporting lipids in the top layer of your skin also helps skin look firmer. A unique soybean (Glycine soja) extract in the Celavive moisturizers acts like a natural lipid found in your skin’s moisture barrier known as ceramide-3. The outermost layer of the skin is comprised of high levels of ceramides—as much as 50 percent of total lipid composition. By helping your skin retain water in the lipid barrier, this extract delivers nourishing hydration.

The Olivol Botanical Blend sets Celavive apart from other moisturizers. It gives your skin a full 24-hour boost of skin-plumping hydration. Your skin’s natural moisture is enhanced with science-backed botanicals: Olivol olive (Olea europaea) fruit extract, plus watermelon-rind (Citrullus lanatus), apple (Pyrus malus), and lentil (Lens esculenta) fruit extracts. This soothing blend helps skin capture and keep water to reinforce your skin-barrier’s protective moisture.

To help fight flakiness and deliver even more hydration to dry, sensitive skin, Protective Day Cream contains oil- and fatty-acid based moisturizers. This includes caprylic/capric triglyceride, which is derived from coconut oil and glycerin. Salicornia herbacea comes from a plant that grows in the salt marshes along the coastline of South Korea. It delivers an added boost of moisture to enhance natural hyaluronic acid.

Defend Against Visible Signs of Aging with Broad-Spectrum SPF 30 (PA++) Sunscreen

There is perhaps nothing more important for maintaining skin’s health and youthful appearance than protecting it from the sun’s damaging rays. This is why the American Academy of Dermatology recommends you apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF 30 or higher every day before you go outside.

There are two types of ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun that can harm your skin: UVA and UVB. UVA rays can age the skin, causing wrinkles and age spots. UVB rays can burn your skin. Both are potentially harmful. So, you want a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect your skin from both.

A broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 should block most rays effectively on most days. Sun protection factor (SPF) is based on how long it takes to sunburn skin that’s been treated with sunscreen compared to no sunscreen. It does not measure the effects of UVA.

Celavive daytime moisturizers use four UV filters for effective and safe broad-spectrum sun protection. UV filters have been shown to work more effectively when formulated together. This is because they can filter a broader spectrum of light when used together and provide more complete coverage on the skin.

The four UV filters in the Celavive Daytime Protective Lotion and Cream that help prevent sunburn are as follows:

  • Avobenzone—protects primarily against UVA rays but offers some protection against UVB as well
  • Octocrylene—a moisturizing sunscreen that absorbs UVB light and also helps stabilize Avobenzone, which can degrade in light over time
  • Homosalate—absorbs UVB rays
  • Octinoxate—an effective UVB absorber

Your Celavive daytime moisturizer provides even more protection against the effects of the sun’s rays with rejuvenating sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) hairy root culture extract. Basil extract helps keep the skin looking healthy with coverage and protection from the sun. In addition to antioxidant activity, this extract also offers benefits for conditioning and soothing the skin after sun exposure to keep visual imperfections and blemishes at bay.

Please note that on the days you spend outdoors, a higher SPF doesn’t mean you can spend more time in the sun without reapplying. No matter what SPF you use, reapply every two hours. For even more defense against visible aging, apply the topical antioxidants in Celavive Vitalizing Serum under your sunscreen.

Reveal Beautifully Smooth, Luminous Skin

When your skin is hydrated, it looks dewy and luminous. To further revitalize your skin, Celavive Daytime Protective Cream and Lotion include unique botanical extracts to give the skin a tightened, toned appearance.

A complex of Korean (Panax ginseng), American (Panax quinquefolium), and Siberian (Acanthopanax senticosus) ginseng extracts provides antioxidant and firming action for a youthful look. Asian women have used ginseng as part of their beauty routine for hundreds of years. The extracts contain many revitalizing bioactive compounds, including ginsenosides, polysaccharides, phytosterols, peptides, fatty acids, and more. The compounds in ginseng can promote the appearance of a bright, even skin tone.

To refine the look of pores, Eijitsu rose (Rosa multiflora) extract helps condition and tighten the skin. A source of flavonoids, this flower is native to Asia. It helps balance oil to help minimize the appearance of pores for a radiant skin tone and smooth texture.

Frequently Asked Questions About Celavive Protective Day Cream and Day Lotion

Many markets share the same formulas for our Celavive Protective Day Cream and Protective Day Lotion.* However, regulations for cosmetic products vary in every country, which impacts the claims allowable on product packaging.

Currently (as of April 2018), there is no SPF (sun protection factor) rating on Celavive day moisturizers in Canada or Korea. And Australia/New Zealand receives a product labeled as SPF 15.

In the case of Canada and Korea, sunscreens are regulated as pharmaceutical drugs. In Australia/New Zealand, moisturizers containing sunscreen with an SPF greater than 15 are regulated as therapeutic goods. As such, the requirements and regulations to make the same SPF 30 claim would have increased the product cost as well as delayed the availability of the product significantly in those markets. Therefore, the SPF claim was removed or altered as determined necessary for best availability.

*In general, formulas for Celavive Daytime Protective Cream and Lotion are shared as follows:

  • United States, Canada, Europe, Australia/New Zealand, Mexico, Colombia share a formula.
  • Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Japan, Taiwan, Indonesia, Korea, and Thailand share a formula.

Real Beauty Sleep is Possible with Celavive Replenishing Night Cream and Gel

If you’ve had a long day, think about what your skin’s been through. Your largest organ does many jobs—protection and regulation for a start. And it’s supposed to look good doing them.

So treat your hard-working skin to a night of luxurious moisture with Celavive Replenishing Night Cream or Celavive Replenishing Night Gel. Your skin naturally rejuvenates itself overnight. And, the advanced active ingredients in both products work to renew your complexion while you sleep. That way your skin stays strong and looks youthful and radiant when you wake up.

It all starts with the Celavive Cell Signaling Complex. USANA InCelligence Technology® is utilized in the cream and gel to support communication between your cells for healthy-looking skin. The complex includes ingredients like: southernwood extract, coffee seed extract, hexapeptide-48 HCl, and palmitoyl tripeptide-38. These compounds work to improve the appearance of the skin by supporting the genes responsible for your body’s natural beauty-preserving functions.

Hexapeptide-48 HCl and southernwood extract are the two ingredients highlighted in the Celavive Replenishing Night Cream and Gel.

Hexapeptide-48 HCl supports the skin’s barrier function to create a smooth-looking skin surface overnight. Maintaining a healthy skin barrier is crucial to the strength and longevity of beautiful-looking skin. A strong and thick skin barrier amplifies moisture retention for a visibly soft and youthful complexion.

Southernwood (Artemisia abrotanum) extract can support your skin’s lipids and protect collagen and elastin from breaking down to help maintain a youthful appearance. This compound is rich in oligosaccharides (complex sugars) that work to make the skin appear smooth and luminous.

The Olivol Botanical Blend adds deep hydration and helps balance your skin’s natural moisturizing factors. The fruit extracts in the botanical blend have been clinically shown to provide 24 hours of rich hydration after just one application. That means the Celavive Replenishing Night Cream and Gel you put on before bedtime is still working hard when you wake up.

Experience Intense Overnight Hydration

Celavive Replenishing Night Cream and Gel are both formulated to provide intense hydration overnight. So while you’re asleep, the moisturizing active ingredients in Replenishing Night Cream and Gel are helping create the skin of your dreams. That means exceptional hydration that smooths the look of skin for a youthful appearance.

Macadamia nut (ternifolia seed) oil is just one of the natural botanicals found in the Celavive product line. This nut oil is highly effective at moisturizing dry skin without causing irritation.

It contains up to 21 percent palmitoleic acid concentrations. Palmitoleic acid is an omega-7 monounsaturated fatty acid found in high concentrations in macadamia nut oil. This acid is a major fatty acid component in the human epidermis. So it’s found naturally in the skin and you can replenish it with the cream or gel.

A pair of active ingredients also help turn up the hydration for your skin:

  • Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5: Chains of amino acids, including palmitoyl tripeptide-5, help ferry moisture and nutrients from the point of application deeper into your skin.
  • Glucosyl Ceramide: Your skin has many kinds of ceramides. These lipids (fats) make up as much as 50 percent of the total lipid content of your outermost layer of the skin (stratum corneum). Topically applying ceramides helps replenish your outermost skin layer when dead and dry skin sloughs off, this reinforces moist and younger-looking skin.

Sleep Away the Appearance of Fine Lines and Wrinkles

Dry skin is tight, rough, and can look wrinkled. Moisture changes all of that. That’s why all the moisturizing ingredients listed above could also fall under this section, as well. They help support a plump, smooth, younger-looking appearance for your skin.

But Celavive Replenishing Night Cream and Celavive Replenishing Night Gel don’t stop there. Four more powerful active ingredients smooth the look of skin to fight the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Let’s start with soybean (Glycine soja) seed extract. It helps to lift, firm, and tighten the appearance of your skin. Soybean extract can also increase the appearance of skin smoothness. It also helps reduce the appearance of wrinkle depth by supporting collagen—one of the most important proteins in your skin. The extract also contains many amino acids to help smooth your skin’s appearance.

You’ve already read about the two other ingredients that support tighter, smoother-looking skin—southernwood extract and palmitoyl tripeptide-5. The extract is rich in complex sugars that help you see youthful-looking skin in the mirror. And palmitoyl tripeptide-5 isn’t just about moisture. It also helps protect against collagen breakdown to help make the skin’s surface look lifted and more refined.

Two Approaches to Youthful-Looking Skin

Whether the cream or gel is right for your skin, you’ll get a powerful formula that supports the appearance of visibly younger-looking skin. All of the active ingredients you’ve read about so far are a part of both formulas.

But there are special signature active ingredients in each product that makes them stand out.

The Celavive Replenishing Night Gel’s special ingredient is gardenia extract. This botanical supports a radiant look when your skin is facing oxidative stress and free-radicals. This helps mitigate some of the visible signs of aging, like the appearance of fine lines, uneven skin tone, and wrinkles. This extract also gives Replenishing Night Gel a soft-blue hue, making it easily distinguishable from other components of your daily skincare regimen.

Gardenia extract is a source of ferulic acid—an antioxidant. This acid is plant-based and supports proteins in your skin matrix as well as moisture retention. Gardenia also provides benefits of two other topical antioxidants—vitamins C and E.

In the Celavive Replenishing Night Cream, it’s pearl powder. This ingredient sounds luxurious—and it can be for your skin. Pearl powder’s roots go back more than 2,000 years. It has long been used in Traditional Chinese culture to support healthy-looking skin.

Pearl powder has been regarded as an antioxidant for skin cells. It also works in the skin matrix to support a firmer appearance. The rejuvenating action of pearl powder helps maintain a vibrant, youthful appearance.

Jojoba provides extra plant power to the night cream’s pearl powder. Jojoba is a shrub you’ll find in North America’s southwest. It’s also called wild hazel or coffeeberry. The seeds of this shrub produce esters packed with long-chain alcohols and fatty acids. It helps in several ways:

  • promoting the appearance of youthful-looking skin
  • aiding in the absorption of topical ingredients
  • extending moisturizing

Wake Up to Radiant, Youthful-Looking Skin

The last thing you do before bed can make all the difference for your skin. So before you sleep, refresh your skin with Celavive Replenishing Night Cream or Celavive Replenishing Night Gel. Overnight, the products’ advanced combinations of powerful active ingredients will provide intense hydration for the dawning of a new day of visibly younger-looking skin.

Signal Healthy Skin-Cell Activity for a Youthful Appearance with the Celavive® Cell Signaling Complex

Celavive® Cell Signaling Complex

USANA InCelligence Technology® signals healthy skin-cell activity for a youthful appearance with botanicals and bioactive peptides.

The look of healthy, glowing skin begins with your cells. Your skin cells keep your complexion looking healthy and vibrant by communicating with each other to activate natural responses through a process known as cell signaling.

These responses can include maintaining the appearance of youthful firmness by making collagen, elastin, or hyaluronic acid in the skin matrix. Another response might be keeping skin hydrated by producing lipids to support the skin barrier.

With age, however, the cell signaling network can weaken, and skin can start to look less vibrant. Lifestyle stresses can also add to the decline. As a result, your skin can appear prematurely older as the processes that help your skin protect and renew itself become weaker.

As part of your natural aging process, your body’s production of the elements essential for youthful-looking skin slows down. Over time, your skin structure changes and begins to show visible signs of photo-aging, fines lines and wrinkles, sagging, discoloration, and uneven texture.

Nourish Cellular Processes That Fight Visible Aging with the Celavive® Cell Signaling Complex

Restore hydration to skin cells and support cellular conversations that promote a vibrant complexion with USANA InCelligence Technology® in the Celavive Cell Signaling Complex. This blend is a unique mix of two bioactive peptides and two botanical extracts. These potent ingredients were chosen for their ability to work in highly targeted ways to rejuvenate a youthful appearance.

When used together in the complex, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38, Hexapeptide-48 HCI, southernwood extract, and coffee-seed extract bind to key cell receptors to support and send signals that can help counteract visible signs of chronological aging and lifestyle stress.

Peptides are short sequences of two to 50 amino acids linked by peptide bonds that perform different functions for beautiful skin. The peptides in the Cell Signaling Complex are designed to act like natural peptides to support signals for a vibrant complexion. Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38 was derived from a natural peptide. Hexapeptide-48 HCl is sourced from plant-based amino acids.

Southernwood (Artemisia abrotanum) extract is a species of flowering plant from the sunflower family. The coffee seed (Coffea arabica) extract in the Cell Signaling Complex provides antioxidant polyphenols, including chlorogenic acid.

Healthy-Looking Skin Begins with a Strong Barrier

Facial skin is made up of many layers of cells. Part of the epidermis, the stratum corneum is the top layer of your skin. Often described as “bricks and mortar,” it is made of dense skin cells held together by a lipid-rich extracellular matrix.

This skin barrier, when healthy, serves two key functions:

  1. Helps repel outside stressors to protect cells
  2. Helps keep water in to retain skin moisture

As we age, keeping a healthy skin barrier is more difficult, as production of lipids and proteins needed to keep it strong begins to decline. Also, outside factors can stress the skin. Harsh products, over-exfoliation, pollution, climate, lack of sleep, and even mental stress can impair barrier function.

Products that contain the Celavive Cell Signaling Complex support a hydrated, strong skin barrier for the look of healthy, glowing skin.

Soothe and Smooth Stressed Skin by Keeping It Balanced

Stressed skin can show visible signs of early aging, such as dryness or wrinkles, as natural cellular processes are disrupted. Promote a healthy-looking, hydrated complexion with the Celavive Cell Signaling Complex. The complex helps to retain balance, even in stressed skin, by increasing moisture and supporting important cellular communications and responses for a rejuvenated appearance.

The Cell Signaling Complex supports balanced, moisturized skin for a radiant complexion by targeting DOR. These receptors are a key communication hub in your skin cells. DOR helps regulate processes that are vital for maintaining a healthy appearance. It acts on structural proteins needed for barrier function, lipid synthesis, and skin integrity. When stressed, expression of DOR is decreased and maintaining a youthful appearance becomes more difficult.

When healthy skin responses are enhanced, skin appears smooth and shows fewer lines and wrinkles. The complexion is also soothed because skin feels more hydrated.

Visibly Plump and Hydrate with Healthy Lipids

Lipids, including free fatty acids, cholesterol, and ceramides, are made in the epidermis. They are the part of the glue that hold skin cells together. Lipids help keep skin supple and visibly lifted. They also support signaling between skin cells, making them critical to a healthy, properly hydrated skin barrier.

Over time, natural production of lipids declines. Free radicals can also damage lipids, making them less useful to the skin. As a result, skin can lose elasticity and appear slack.

Celavive skincare products deliver visible improvements in the skin’s youthful appearance by supporting healthy lipids in two ways:

  1. By applying lipids with moisturizing ingredients like glucosyl ceramide
  2. By supporting production of your natural lipids with the Celavive Cell Signaling Complex for a tighter look

The Cell Signaling Complex binds with PPAR, a receptor that serves many functions, including supporting your skin’s lipids for healthy-looking skin. By moisturizing natural lipids in the epidermis, skin looks and feels hydrated and resilient. Maintained facial volume also helps skin appear plumper and lifted.

Rejuvenate the Appearance of Firmness by Replenishing Your Skin Matrix

In addition to lipids, the skin cells are held together by enzymes, structural proteins, and peptides that keep skin looking firm. A natural decline in these skin components can reduce strength and elasticity, causing visible wrinkles.

The Celavive Cell Signaling Complex fights visible signs of aging by optimizing the activation of major building blocks of the skin matrix and dermal-epidermal junction:

  • Three types of collagen to support the skin’s structure and provide a look of firmness
  • Elastin to support skin’s flexibility for a soft, smooth appearance
  • Fibronectin to help bind skin cells to the extracellular matrix and support cell communications needed to maintain a vibrant complexion
  • Hyaluronic acid retains water, provides nutrients, and removes wastes for a hydrated glow
  • Laminin 5 to support tissue growth and skin’s integrity to keep it looking youthfully lifted

The Celavive Cell Signaling Complex replenishes structural proteins and natural moisturizers to smooth the look of fine lines and wrinkles that can make you look older. A visible lifting effect also helps promote youthful-looking firmness, reducing the appearance of crow’s feet and forehead lines.

The epidermal-dermal junction (DEJ) is made up of four layers: the basal cell plasma membrane, the lamina lucida, the basal lamina, and the sub-basal lamina. At this junction, the epidermis (top layer of skin) gathers nutrients and expels waste, keeping skin looking healthy. When skin ages, the dermal-epidermal junction flattens and works less efficiently, which leads to uneven texture and the appearance of lines and wrinkles. Adding moisture and delivering key nutrients to the DEJ can help rejuvenate skin’s youthful look.

Preserve Even Skin Tone and Texture by Protecting from Effects of Premature Aging

Exposure to environmental factors, especially time spent in the sun, can cause damaging free radicals that have been linked to the premature look of aging, dryness, and uneven pigmentation.

As part of a comprehensive anti-aging approach the Celavive Cell Signaling Complex provides antioxidant activity to help protect against free radicals and promote skin’s brightness. Daily use of Celavive products with the Cell Signaling Complex is a good way to help preserve your skin’s radiance.

Visible Fine Lines and Wrinkles Virtually Disappear

You may not be able to turn back the clock, but Celavive Vitalizing Serum may help you take years off of your appearance.

Get powerful support for your skin cells’ natural ability to reduce the visible effects of chronological and lifestyle aging with the Celavive Cell Signaling Complex. The botanical extracts and peptides work together to promote firm, vibrant-looking skin. The complex works by using InCelligence Technology® to revitalize natural cellular processes that help renew a healthy skin barrier and skin matrix for a youthful complexion.

There are a number of ways the complex promotes the look of healthy skin:

  • Brings skin-cells back into balance after stress for a smooth appearance
  • Maintains healthy lipid levels for plump, hydrated-looking skin
  • Retains building blocks of healthy skin, including collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid to fight the visible signs of aging and maintain firmness
  • Protects against aging effects of free radical damage for a bright, even skin tone

Supporting these processes within your skin can significantly reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and improve your overall complexion.

Adding to the visible lifting effects of the Cell Signaling Complex, okra (hydrolyzed Hibiscus esculentus) extract can relax the look of fine lines and wrinkles caused by repeated mechanical motion. 

Vitalizing Serum is also loaded with moisturizing ingredients. In fact, one ingredient in particular is designed to imitate your skin’s natural ceramide structure. Ceramides are key to maintaining the structure of lipids that link skin cells together. This synthetic ceramide has a scary-looking name—glycerylamidoethyl methacrylate/stearyl methacrylate copolymer—but it simply helps plump the skin to reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

Skin Looks Tighter, Firmer

Youthful-acting skin is supple and resilient. Its strength comes from the ability to act a bit like a rubber band. It bounces back after stretching. The visible effects of less elasticity are gradual sagging and increased fragility of the skin.

Maintain your skin’s youthful firmness by supporting strong collagen and elastin in your skin matrix with the Celavive Cell Signaling Complex. Collagen is vulnerable after sun exposure because the free radicals and dryness created can cause it to breakdown. If too much collagen is degraded, you will see wrinkles and less elasticity in the skin.

The Cell Signaling Complex targets key cellular processes that protect collagen and other structural proteins from breaking down to help minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Similarly, in vitro models suggest the antioxidant activity of lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) and red grape extracts (Vitis vinifera) may help offset the effects of advanced glycation end products (AGEs). AGEs are destructive molecules formed in reactions between sugars and proteins, lipids, or nucleic acids. These molecules can cause collagen to become rigid and more prone to breakage.

Collagen weakened by AGEs can cause skin to look thin, discolored, and slack. Oxidative stress can speed this process, especially from a diet full of fried foods and refined sugars. Inhibiting some of the effects of AGEs with antioxidants helps shield healthy collagen. So, skin’s elasticity is preserved.

Many of the other plant extracts in Celavive Vitalizing Serum also help protect collagen from breaking down to keep skin looking plump and firm:

  • Pea (Pisum sativum) extract, a source of vital amino acids
  • Sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides), a source of many nutrients
  • Grape extracts, which also supply vitamin C and resveratrol

Results in improved elasticity can be seen after one use of Vitalizing Serum. A private study showed skin elasticity improved in three hours, meaning you’ll see visibly firmer skin.

Lipids and Skin Cells Are Protected

Protecting skin cells and natural lipids from damage helps preserve skin’s elasticity and firmness. One way to protect against damage and prevent early signs of aging is through the use of antioxidants.

The concentrated Cell Signaling Complex in Vitalizing Serum helps protect skin cells from oxidative stress and nourish natural lipids to give your complexion a look of healthy hydration. This visible brightening action is boosted by many additional protective antioxidants in Vitalizing Serum, including coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinone), vitamin C, plus acerola, sea buckthorn, pea, lemon balm, and grape extracts. (Grape is a source of resveratrol—a potent antioxidant.)

Youthful Skin Appearance and Tone is Preserved

Melanin plays a protective role in the skin. However, when too much is produced in one area, you can see age spots, freckles, or uneven coloration. While shifts in melanin are usually normal, they can make you look less radiant than you’d like. Visible blemishes can also impact your confidence.

Rejuvenate your youthful complexion with Vitalizing Serum. A number of ingredients help maintain or improve skin tone and brightness:

  • Coffea arabica supports cellular processes that balance melanin production for reduced appearance of age spots.
  • Resveratrol also helps support normal appearance of melanin.
  • Sea buckthorn supports a refreshed, even skin tone. It also helps balance sebum to help keep pores clear.
  • Pea seeds and their extracts contain proteins, sugars, fats, and salts that may help reduce visual blemishes on the skin.
  • Acerola (Malpighia punicifolia), a bright red fruit, is rich in vitamin C and other nutrients that brighten skin tone and revitalize stressed looking skin.
  • Thyme (Thymus vulgaris) flower/leaf extract hydrates and soothes skin after sun exposure and helps reduce appearance of skin flaws.

Note: Always make sure you have any questionable spots or freckles inspected by your dermatologist.

Nutrients Are Restored to Nourish Skin Cells

If your skin is stressed, it may be low on crucial nutrients it needs to keep looking healthy. Restore vital nutrients to your skin cells to help reveal your natural glow with Celavive Vitalizing Serum.

Sea buckthorn is a bright orange fruit native to Europe and Asia. It contains nearly 200 bioactive substances, including the following:

  • Omega 3, 6, 7 fatty acids
  • Vitamins A, C, E
  • Carotenoid antioxidants
  • Minerals

The extract used in the formula is deeply penetrating for maximum benefit to the look and feel of your skin.

Vitamin E, coenzyme Q10, and squalene (a natural unsaturated oil) are also replenished to nourish aging skin cells to help maintain a youthful appearance.

Acerola and grape extracts are both rich in the antioxidant vitamin C, an essential nutrient that cannot be made by the body. Topical vitamin C is the best way to deliver it directly to skin. It also works best when used along with vitamin E.

Restore Rejuvenating Moisture to Your Skin with Celavive® Olivol® Botanical Blend

Celavive® Olivol™ Botanical Blend

Restore rejuvenating moisture to your skin for up to 24 hours with a unique blend of fruit extracts.

Moisture is an essential component of radiant, healthy-looking skin. Hydrated skin looks and feels plump, supple, and smooth.

When your skin’s moisture is balanced, natural moisturizing factors (NMF) help ensure skin doesn’t become dehydrated. Hydration levels remain normal. Skin’s cellular membranes stay flexible. The skin barrier functions properly to retain water within, while protecting the skin cells in the deeper layers of your skin.

However, the skin’s moisture balance can be disrupted with age or by harsh products, pollutants, or a dry climate. Once skin’s moisture has become imbalanced, skin-cell membranes become more rigid—allowing fewer nutrients inside. And, eventually, the skin barrier may become damaged. This can begin a negative cycle that results in increasingly dry, irritated skin that looks dull and prematurely aged.

Replenish Moisture to Renew Your Appearance with the Celavive Olivol® Botanical Blend

Give your skin lasting moisture for a complexion that appears smooth and soothed with the Olivol Botanical Blend. This exclusive combination of botanicals includes USANA’s unique Olivol olive-fruit extract, plus watermelon rind (Citrullus lanatus), lentil (Lens esculenta), and apple (Pyrus malus) fruit extracts. These ingredients have been clinically shown to rehydrate for up to 24 hours after one application.

In as little as two weeks of using Celavive products with the Olivol Botanical Blend, you can expect to see and feel lasting results:

  • Increased moisture
  • Skin is visibly smoother
  • Reduced appearance of dry or flaky skin
  • Decreased appearance of skin irritation and redness due to lack of hydration

Protect with Olivol® Antioxidant-Rich Moisture

USANA developed an olive-oil-extraction process that isolates the moisturizing components of olive oil. This process creates a potent antioxidant compound called Olivol® olive-fruit extract.

For centuries, olive oil and its extracts (like Olivol) have been used as moisturizers. As part of the botanical blend, Olivol gently hydrates your skin. It also helps support your body’s natural skin-repair process to give your skin the appearance of a youthful glow.

Olivol can also act as a free-radical scavenger. Free-radicals are toxic compounds that can cause cellular damage to DNA and proteins. Olivol can neutralize these compounds to help keep your skin looking its best.

Fight Dryness by Supporting Your Skin’s Natural Moisturization Processes

You can deliver immediate moisture to your complexion to promote suppleness and support your skin’s natural moisturization processes. Olivol Botanical Blend protects the integrity of your skin barrier for skin that looks and feels soft and refined.

Olivol Botanical Blend nourishes your skin cells’ natural ability to transport water and glycerol across cell membranes. This helps retain existing moisture in the epidermis.

Vitamin B5, or pantothenic acid, from lentil extract also helps attract and hold moisture to increase hydration in the surface of the skin.

The blend also intensely hydrates for a more luminous appearance because it supports normal production of your skin’s natural moisturizing factor (NMF).

Generated in the top layer of your skin, the NMF is mostly made of amino acids along with lactates, sugars, other natural acids, and more. The compounds that make up the NMF help your skin look healthy by supporting your skin barrier. They act as humectants, which work like a sponge in your skin. These water-binding substances help capture, absorb, and retain water to protect against dehydration. People with dry skin tend to have lower levels of NMF.

The Olivol Botanical Blend replenishes moisture for hydrated look. It complements the action of the Celavive® Cell Signaling Complex to deliver complete care for a radiant complexion.

The nutrients (mostly simple sugars) in the Olivol Botanical Blend moisturize healthy-looking skin by replenishing compounds needed for the NMF to be produced. These compounds include citrulline, sodium PCA, and sodium lactate.

Nutrients in watermelon are concentrated in the rind. It is one of nature’s few sources of citrulline. Citrulline is also a naturally occurring amino acid in your NMF.

Apple extract is a source of sodium lactate and sodium PCA. PCA (pyrrolidone carboxylic acid) absorbs water. It is highly concentrated in the NMF and can soothe dry skin. However, it can be washed away with soap, so topical application can help replenish it.

The mix of compounds in the NMF are formed after a protein known as filaggrin breaks down. Filaggrin requires the right ingredients as well as the right moisture level in its environment to function properly. It is vitally important to support this protein by giving it the right nutrients and preserving a healthy moisture balance in the skin. This is because if filaggrin doesn’t break down properly, the skin barrier can weaken. The skin then loses water and becomes dry and rough.


Because the Celavive Olivol Botanical Blend supports your skin’s natural moisture factor, it delivers the right amount of moisture your skin needs. This makes it a great skin replenisher for dry, oily, combination, and sensitive skin.

Skin Basics

When it’s healthy, your skin is very resilient. The skin cells actively produce water-binding chemicals, lipids, and structural proteins needed to form a barrier that defends against toxins and retains moisture for a healthy appearance. This naturally protects the soft elastic tissues that keep skin looking young.

However, genetic and hormonal changes linked with normal aging—along with other lifestyle factors—can change the appearance of your skin. These visible changes can show up as wrinkles, dryness, sagging, and uneven skin tone.

Celavive skincare products work together to rejuvenate a youthful look by supporting healthy skin and a strong barrier.

The Regimen that Delivers Results

To let your youthful glow shine through, make sure to use products designed for your skin type. And apply your products in the correct order to get the most out of your skincare routine.

Step 1. Cleanse Twice a Day

Don’t let grime dull your glow. Use a gentle cleanser to remove impurities without over-stripping the natural oils from your skin. This will help prepare your skin for application of additional skin care products and/or makeup.

  • In the morning, cleansing will not only refresh your skin. It’s also helpful for removing any sweat, excess oil, dead skin cells, etc. that may have accumulated overnight.
  • At night, it’s essential to wash off the day. And water alone won’t do the job. Remove makeup with a makeup remover. Then cleanse away dirt, pollutants, and oily residue to leave your skin feeling fresh.
  • Three times a week cleanse and enhance by exfoliating to remove any dead surface skin, purify pores, and revive your complexion.

Step 2: Tone after Cleanser

One of the most important steps in your routine, toner begins to restore moisture balance and will help you get the most out of your other skincare products.

Step 3: Enhance with Treatment Products

Serums, masks, and eye treatment products deliver more concentrated active ingredients than you can get from a moisturizer. They are the best way to give your skin a boost of protection from the effects of the environment and defy the visible signs of aging. These products are essential for effectively preserving the look of youthful skin tone, texture, and firmness.

Step 4: Hydrate in the AM and PM

Dermatologists agree, retaining and replenishing moisture is key for healthy-looking, vibrant skin. (Even oily skin can become dehydrated and needs to have water restored.) Treat your skin to a high-quality moisturizer morning and night to complete your daily skincare routine.

  • In the morning, hydrate and protect with a moisturizer that also contains a broad-spectrum sunscreen. UV rays are one the biggest contributors to visible wrinkles and minor discoloration associated with normal aging.
  • At night, ensure a beautiful morning with a replenishing moisturizer that also contains targeted ingredients to help rejuvenate and repair the look of your skin.

Frequently Asked Questions About Celavive Skincare

The name Celavive® represents the knowledge that your skin cells are alive, working together to provide protection from environmental elements, and supporting healthy beautiful skin. Celavive combines the best of science to awaken your skin cells natural ability to activate natural renewing abilities within your own skin for beautiful looking skin.

All of the Celavive products are gluten-free. The raw ingredients do not contain any gluten containing ingredients and independent testing did not detect and gluten (<20 ppm).

In the US there is not an official standard or requirement for a product to be labeled as hypoallergenic, so this designation has little meaning. Each Celavive product contains numerous naturally derived ingredients, making it possible for a person to be sensitive to a product.

The ingredients used in this product line have been thoroughly researched for safety and efficacy and should be appropriate for most individuals. If someone has a known sensitivity to skincare products or a specific ingredient it will be important to check product ingredient lists to determine if they are appropriate for use.

If you have known sensitivities to skincare products, it may be beneficial for you to test the products on a small area of your skin (the inside of your elbow, wrist, or the side of your neck) prior to applying it to your face to determine if you are sensitive. Potential reactions will typically occur within 24 hours, but may take up to 72 hours.

In the US, the Celavive line of products are regulated as cosmetics, with the Day Creams registered as OTC sunscreens. Cosmetic products are designed to cleanse, moisturize, protect and enhance the appearance of skin. Cosmetic products mainly work on the epidermis layer of the skin to fight against visible signs of skin aging.

USANA InCelligence Technology® uses plant-based nutrition to enhance the cell’s ability to communicate internally and with other cells. This technology harnesses natural cell-signaling pathways to improve health through unique personalized nutrition.

Certain products in the Celavive™ line include the Cell Signaling Complex, which uses InCelligence Technology to support healthy-looking skin. This Cell Signaling Complex uses powerful nutrients to target cell receptors that use communication to support your body’s natural, beauty-preserving functions.

Celavive is manufactured by a highly reputable skincare partner in a state-of-the-art facility in Japan. This facility specializes in skincare production and has an excellent reputation for their extremely high manufacturing standards. Products are tested for purity, safety, stability, and efficacy. Each product is tested multiple times during manufacturing.

Additionally, our manufacturing partner is committed to protecting the environment by focusing on energy conservation, responsible waste management, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, and recycling.

The Celavive Cell-Signaling Complex is made up of two bioactive peptides and two botanical extracts: Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38, Hexapeptide 48 HCl, southernwood extract, and coffee-seed extract.

These active ingredients bind to key cell receptors to support and send signals that can help counteract visible signs of chronological aging and lifestyle stress. These functions include preserving a healthy, balanced skin barrier and promoting the synthesis of a healthy skin matrix.

Together, the ingredients in the Cell Signaling Complex support your skin cells’ natural ability to create glowing, smooth, younger-looking skin from within.

Celavive is a comprehensive skin care system designed for both women and men concerned with preventing and minimizing the signs of aging. Celavive products are designed to cleanse, moisturize, protect, or renew, to help reveal healthy younger looking skin.

Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should speak to their healthcare professional.

Celavive is a skin care line designed for adults concerned about minimizing the signs of visible aging. It is not designed to be used by infants or children. There are some differences between mature adult skin and the skin of infants and younger children and many health care providers routinely recommend skincare and sunscreen products designed specifically for this age group.

Celavive is not designed to treat diseases of the skin.

Celavive has a variety of products designed for different skin types.

For general use on all skin types: Conditioning Makeup Remover, Perfecting Toner, Hydrating + Lifting Sheet Mask, Hydrating Eye Essence, and Vitalizing Serum

For dry or sensitive skin: Gentle Milk Cleanser, Protective Day Cream, and Replenishing Night Cream

For oily or combination skin: Creamy Foam Cleanser, Protective Day Lotion, and Replenishing Night Gel

Results are different for each person, since we are all unique. Most people will see a difference in skin hydration and overall appearance within about two weeks. Because it can take up to 90 days for skin to renew itself through normal cell turnover, more dramatic visual results may take several weeks of regular daily use for most people.

The science behind effective skincare is consistently evolving and we are always looking at science to develop cutting-edge products to support beauty and skin health. The Celavive™ line of products are based on recent science and the newest cutting-edge technology to help you create healthy younger-looking radiant skin.

Your skin is your outermost protective layer, and it is exposed to many environmental elements that can contribute to signs of premature aging.

Too much exposure to UV rays can lead to sunburn and impact delicate processes that affect the skin’s growth and appearance. Over time, exposure to UV rays causes the skin to lose its elasticity and to become thickened, leathery, and wrinkled.

The more exposed your skin is to the sun, the earlier your skin will show signs of aging, and as you get older, it becomes more difficult for skin to repair itself. Over time, this damage can take a toll on your skin and its underlying connective tissue. The influence of environmental and lifestyle factors is known as extrinsic aging or photo-aging.

But outside factors aren’t the only cause of skin aging. As you age naturally, your skin begins to produce less elastin causing skin to lose elasticity and decreasing skin’s resilience. Your skin also produces less collagen, which negatively affects skin structure causing the skin to appear wrinkled and less firm. This is called intrinsic aging and it is influenced by internal physiological factors including your DNA.

By proactively caring for your skin and focusing on prevention, you can minimize some of the visible signs related to aging skin. Limit sun exposure, apply sunscreen every day, and care for your skin internally. In addition to comprehensive topical support, providing your body with the micronutrients, macronutrients and adequate hydration can help to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles to maintain the appearance of healthy younger looking skin.

Many people are passionate believers that natural and/or organic ingredients must be better for their skin, but this belief is not always scientifically based or accurate. As the science behind skin care formulations evolve, new and innovative ways to create products are continuing to develop.

However, even with innovation, there are basic tenets of cosmetic development that must be followed to produce safe and effective products. From selecting the most effective raw materials to ensuring stability and shelf life, science dictates the types of ingredients most suitable for inclusion in products.

Our team of scientists thoroughly researched and reviewed the ingredients included in this innovative product line for safety, stability, and efficacy. The products have also been clinically tested in humans and the results are impressive.

Only the highest quality products ever make it from benchtop to market, and Celavive is the result of years of scientific innovation in product formulation and cell-signaling research brought to you by a team of highly qualified scientists.

Some may think that preservatives are a negative aspect of a product. But preservatives protect both the product and the consumer by maintaining stability of ingredients. They also prevent the growth of potentially harmful microbes that can occur from accidental contamination by the consumer or during the manufacturing process. In addition, all products that contain water must have some type of preservative system in place to maintain safety and stability. Certain types of multifunctional ingredients offer preservative properties and other benefits to the product.

Celavive products are preserved with ingredients including citric acid, sodium lactate, botanicals, oil extracts, and more.

Celavive is formulated without:

  • Parabens
  • Phenoxyethanol
  • Heavy Metals
  • Phthalates
  • BHA/BHT
  • Synthetic Dyes
  • Formaldehyde
  • Triclosan
  • Sodium Lauryl Sulfate
  • Hydroquinone
  • Coal tar

Fragrance in an integral part of the success of personal care products and Celavive products do contain fragrance.

Even products that claim to be fragrance free are not necessarily void of fragrance ingredients. In the US, the FDA has made the following regulation regarding this claim:

Fragrance free implies that a cosmetic product so labeled has no perceptible odor. Fragrance ingredients may be added to a fragrance-free cosmetic to mask any offensive odor originating from the raw materials used, but in a smaller amount than is needed to impart a noticeable scent.

Our scientists have a strong commitment to utilize the best science and latest available research to ensure the safety of products before they are marketed. They have gone to great lengths to find a fragrance that has a light mild scent that should not for be a concern for most individuals. As an additional safeguard, fragrance is added in minimal amounts and is typically listed near the very end of the ingredient list.

The ingredients that make up the fragrance contain synthetic ingredients selected for their stability, consistency and pleasing scent. The exact ingredients are proprietary and not available to disclose.

The Celavive Perfecting Toner contains highly purified marine-derived ingredients that are a byproduct of the fishing industry. The remainder of the Celavive products do not contain animal-derived ingredients.

Shake Up Your Next Meal with USANA® Nutrimeal™

Get balanced nutrition to support your health and weight-management goals in a deliciously convenient meal-replacement shake.

Hectic mornings and busy days can make it tough to stick to your goal of eating better to support your health. More often than not, they lead down a fast-food drive thru. Or to skipped meals, which isn’t a recipe for feeling focused and energized. Making a better dietary choice is doable and delicious with convenient USANA® Nutrimeal™ meal-replacement shakes.

Each gluten-free† Nutrimeal is packed with fiber and protein to help nourish your daily well-being in a number of ways:

  • Makes it convenient to get balanced nutrition on-the-go
  • Keeps you feeling energized
  • Helps control hunger
  • Curbs cravings
  • Supports digestive and cardiovascular health*
  • Supports weight-management goals
  • Helps maintain muscle mass*

Drinking USANA Nutrimeal is a great healthy habit that will help you manage your weight and keep your dietary choices on track. It makes a quick, easy breakfast or nutritious lunch on-the-go. It’s also a great solution for those who need a boost of quality nutrition to ensure they stay strong and healthy, including athletes or older adults.

Nutrimeal is available in three varieties—Dutch Chocolate, French Vanilla, or Nutrimeal Free—so you can choose the flavor and protein option that works best for you. Every shake serves up delicious nutrition that will satisfy your hunger, so you can feed your appetite for life.

Make a Better-For-You Choice for Balanced Nutrition Anytime, Anywhere

Proper nutrition can help you face each day with vitality. Your body gets the energy it needs from macronutrients in the food you eat. Carbohydrates, protein, and fats are broken down in the digestive tract. Then the nutrients are delivered throughout your body, so you (and your body) have the fuel you need to function.

A healthy, whole-food diet is the best way to get the nutrition your body needs. But if you want a simple solution for a balanced meal, even on-the-go, you can eat to your advantage with USANA Nutrimeal.

Nutrimeal fits into a balanced diet by providing the goodness of a healthful meal in a convenient shake. Every serving delivers a carefully formulated ratio of fiber, protein, fats, and low-glycemic carbohydrates that can help satisfy hunger and support your daily well-being.

Fiber is particularly important. Most people need to consume considerably more fiber than they do. Nutrimeal is packed with fiber to help boost your intake. It’s an excellent source of soluble and insoluble fiber.

Soluble fiber dissolves in water and turns to gel during digestion. Insoluble fiber does not dissolve, so it adds bulk to the stool. Both types support digestive health by helping food pass—not too fast and not too slow—through your gastrointestinal system. Both types of fiber have also been shown to help support cardiovascular health.*

Fiber isn’t the only ingredient that makes Nutrimeal heart smart. It’s also high in quality sources of protein that can help maintain cardiovascular health.

In addition to your heart, protein helps support healthy muscles, skin, hair, nails, cartilage, and more. Protein is part of every cell, tissue, and organ in your body. And your body can’t store or make enough of the amino acids it needs from protein. So, protein must be consumed in the diet, preferably spread equally throughout the day. (For most people, breakfast is usually the meal with the least protein. Drinking a Nutrimeal shake for breakfast is a good way to boost your protein in the morning.)

Beneficial fats, like those from the sunflower oil in Nutrimeal, are also needed for good health. Dietary fats help your body do many things. That includes supporting the health of your cells and organs. And fat is needed to create some of the energy you need to conquer your day.*

Low-glycemic carbohydrates will also help keep your energy levels stable. They’re digested more slowly, so your energy stays steady. This is unlike the high-glycemic carbohydrates you’ll find in many refined foods. These are used up quickly, causing your energy levels to plummet when your blood sugar comes crashing down.

Macronutrients aren’t all you’ll find in Nutrimeal. Each shake also supplies many important vitamins and minerals essential for your health. It’s an excellent complement to the nutrients in your daily USANA CellSentials™. And Nutrimeal is a good source of the mineral potassium. Your body needs potassium for almost everything it does, including proper kidney and heart function, healthy muscle contraction, and normal nerve transmission.*

Manage Your Weight by Conquering Cravings with USANA Nutrimeal

Whether you need to lose, gain, or simply maintain your weight, USANA Nutrimeal can be a tasty part of a healthy, fit lifestyle.

To maintain your weight, simply determine how many calories you should consume per day and incorporate a Nutrimeal shake where it makes sense for you.

To gain weight, you likely need to eat more frequently. So, you can use Nutrimeal as a convenient way to add more calories from a balanced, nutritious source.

If you’d like to shed a few pounds to look a little better and support your health, drinking a shake or two in place of a regular meal every day could help. And remember to take your supplements to help fill any gaps while you’re reducing your food intake.

USANA Nutrimeal is the cornerstone of USANA’s 5-Day RESET program—a quick jumpstart into losing weight with healthier eating and lifestyle habits.** This is because Nutrimeal is formulated with a good balance of macronutrients that will keep you feeling satisfied. And it helps sustain your energy levels while you are cutting back on calories. Its low-glycemic formula may also help you reduce cravings.

Cravings often stem from a drop in blood glucose, especially after eating foods that rank high on the glycemic index. This is a relative ranking of carbohydrate in foods according to how they affect blood-glucose levels. High-glycemic foods cause a rapid rise in blood glucose followed by a rapid drop. This rollercoaster sends you searching for snacks. Because when your blood sugar plummets, suddenly you’re starving and tired. So, your brain starts urgently telling you to stuff your face with foods to quickly get your blood-sugar levels and energy back up again.

Low-glycemic foods, like USANA Nutrimeal, can help you get off that rollercoaster. These foods digest more slowly, so your blood-glucose levels don’t have such extreme highs and lows. This helps you avoid the crash that stimulates a strong desire for unhealthy foods. So, it will be easier for you to make a better choice at your next meal. And those little daily choices will add up to a big transformation.

Taking the guesswork out of meal planning is another way USANA Nutrimeal makes managing your weight simpler. Each tasty meal-replacement shake is only 240 calories (230 for Nutrimeal Free). Sticking to portion-controlled meal replacements for one or two meals a day has been shown to be effective in helping dieters lose weight and keep it off.

Feed Your Willpower with Fiber to Support Weight-Management

Constantly feeling hungry is the death-knell for any efforts to sustain a weight-management program. Adding more dietary fiber, along with protein and a little bit of fat, to your meal can help control hunger. This will help make it easier to stick with your calorie-reduction plan and achieve waist-reduction success.

Dietary fiber comes from substances resistant to digestion. These substances usually originate from lower-calorie, plant-based sources. They help slow digestion and fill up your stomach to keep you feeling fuller, longer. This feeling of satisfaction is called “satiety.” By improving satiety, the dietary fiber in Nutrimeal can help you eat less without feeling hungry.

SHOP HERE

Slim Down and Stay Strong with the Power of Protein

Protein is helpful for weight management, too. And not only because it helps control hunger. It’s also vital for helping you lose weight the right way.

As you slim down, you want to lose mostly fat, not muscle. Protein helps preserve your lean body mass while losing weight. And once you reach a lower number on the scale, protein can help you keep the weight off and maintain a healthier body composition—with less fat and more muscle.

Maintaining a healthy lean body mass is important for weight management because it helps support a normal basal metabolic rate. This is the number of calories (energy) your body needs to carry out its basic functions—like breathing and circulation. People with more body fat and less muscle tend to have lower metabolic rates than those who are leaner. So, by getting rid of the fat and not the muscle, you may help maintain a healthy metabolism.

Keeping your muscle mass isn’t only important for those trying to lose weight. Mature adults and athletes also need to ensure they get balanced nutrition with plenty of protein to help them stay strong and active. A Nutrimeal shake will help maintain muscle by helping to fill some of their daily protein needs. Plus, the other important macro- and micronutrients will also help fuel a healthy body.

Frequently Asked Questions About USANA Nutrimeal?

Yes, Nutrimeal can be mixed with hot water. However, it is not recommended to allow the product to boil or simmer for extended periods of time. Ideally, any liquids should be heated separately and allowed to cool to drinking temperature before adding Nutrimeal.

The Nutrimeal drinks are intended to be snack and meal replacements and not protein specific supplements. They are specifically designed to be balanced with respect to carbohydrates, proteins and fats. The Nutrimeals have a calorie breakdown of approximately 50% carbohydrates (half complex and fiber, and half sugars), 25% protein and 25% fat. This balance is essential to the purpose and function of the product.

There is currently widespread confusion about fructose, in part due to inaccurate mainstream reporting about high-fructose corn syrup, raw fructose, corn-syrup solids, and other fructose sources and compounds. It is certainly true that excessive intakes of any of these fructose sources would be unhealthy (as is the case with most everything), but moderate intakes of these ingredients within the context of a healthy diet are simply not dangerous or unhealthy.

Fructose is nothing more than a simple sugar found primarily in fruits and vegetables. One advantage of using fructose is its very low glycemic index (compared to glucose and some other sugars), while still being quite sweet.  This allows it to be used at lower dosages without a penalty to taste.

Additionally, while it is true that fructose is metabolized slightly different from glucose, please note that fructose does not automatically “turn into fat” or cause negative effects on blood lipids – despite what some websites may suggest. Much of fructose’s metabolism depends on the dosages used and the activity level and caloric requirements of a given individual.

As with any excess calories – whether from protein, fat, or carbohydrates – fructose can contribute to weight gain. But again, dosage is key. If fructose alone were responsible for causing weight gain, most vegetarians would tend to be heavier than they are since vegetarians’ fruit intakes are generally quite high. The amount of fructose contained in the Nutrimeals is similar to the fructose content of several common fruits, as the following table shows.

SUGAR CONTENT OF COMMON FRUITS

This table presents information on the sugar content of 21 common fruits and fruit juices. Values are for normal serving sizes, and they represent blended averages across multiple cultivars and samples of a given food. Individual values are presented for the three major sugars found in fruits (glucose, fructose, and sucrose). In addition, values for total sugars (which may include other minor sugars, such as mannitol and sorbitol) are given. The data presented were taken from a United States Department of Agriculture publication titled Sugar Content of Selected Foods (1987).

Unfortunately, misinformation is easily available on the internet and many people accidentally recycle such information without fully understanding what it claims. Sometimes the information may even be valid, but inappropriately taken out of context and used to draw incorrect conclusions.

The fundamental point of this article is to reinforce that good health requires variety, balance, and moderation. USANA does not advocate eating only fructose as a sweetener, but it does have a place – in appropriate amounts – in healthy products. Stated another way: there is a big difference between getting fructose as a sweetener in a soda or some other nutrient-poor food, and getting it as part of a balanced diet.

Although too much sodium can be of concern, please note that sodium is an essential mineral and electrolyte. The recommended sodium intake for healthy adults sits near 2,400 mg per day, and even doctor-prescribed low sodium diets rarely drop below 1,000 mg per day. Intakes below 500 mg per day can result in serious health conditions, including death. Because the Nutrimeals are classified as meal replacements, adequate sodium is absolutely necessary to prevent serious health consequences. This is especially true during hot summer months, during times of exercise, or in circumstances where individuals choose to use the products as a primary source of nutrition.

In modern times, many individuals have begun to take sodium for granted since it can be easily consumed in excessive amounts. However, this does not mean that sodium is inherently “bad.” We have included a level in the Nutrimeals that is the lowest we would consider safe for adults subsisting entirely on our products for any period of time.

Many products claiming to be “meal replacements” run the risk of being much too low in sodium. In our opinion, the unscrupulous manufacturers of such products risk the health of their customers in an attempt to “look good” on a label.

If someone has additional concerns about the sodium content of a USANA Foods product, we recommending consulting a physician. He/she will be best able to know whether or not the amount of sodium in a given product is above an individual’s current requirements.

The Nutrimeals are better quality-wise when eaten immediately after making them, but their nutritional value and safety would still be fine for few days if they are refrigerated. It is also recommend that you cover and seal the container it will be stored in, since air will cause a greater loss of some nutrients.

What Makes it Work?

Rev3 Energy Surge Pack contains a natural source of caffeine derived from the leaves of three different types of teas. With 80 mg of naturally derived caffeine, Rev3 Energy Surge Pack contains about as much caffeine as an average cup of coffee, but without many of the potentially harmful ingredients, such as large amounts of sugar, excessive calories, or artificial preservatives.

The Energy Complex

Malic acid and citric acid are part of Rev3 Energy Surge Pack’s complete energy complex. These ingredients are broken down and eventually enter the Krebs cycle (citric acid cycle) and electron transport chain where they help refuel the body’s energy stores.

The USANA Difference

Rev3 Energy Surge Pack has no artificial flavors, no artificial sweeteners, no artificial preservatives, and no artificial colors. It contains naturally derived caffeine from a blend of teas for improved mental alertness and stamina. Teas also provide numerous beneficial ingredients, including a thermogenic agent to aid in energy production, and antioxidants and phytonutrients known to be beneficial to health and metabolism.*

With an advanced formula developed by USANA’s nutrition experts, Rev3 offers two superior alternatives to crash-and-burn energy drinks.

Rev3 Energy Drink

Rev3 contains L-carnitine, an ingredient that has an important function in energy production. L-carnitine helps shuttle fatty acids (fats) into the mitochondria where they can be turned into energy. Rev3 also contains coenzyme Q10, which is involved in the production of 95 percent of the energy required by the body.

A Revolution in Energy Drinks

Rev3 is low glycemic and formulated to provide sustained energy. With a high glycemic load, typical energy drinks spike your blood sugar levels, giving you a quick feeling of energy but soon leading to a crash that leaves you feeling drained. Rev3 has a total glycemic load that is three to four times lower than traditional energy drinks. This means that Rev3 does not lead to a debilitating sugar crash but rather leaves you feeling a sustained level of energy throughout the day.*

Proprietary Energy Complex

Rev3 was developed with a complete and proprietary energy complex that includes L-carnitine, malic acid, citric acid, Korean ginseng, and rhodiola. These ingredients are broken down and eventually enter the Krebs cycle (citric acid cycle) and electron transport chain where they help refuel the body’s energy stores.

The USANA Difference

Rev3 has a crisp, all-natural taste. Rev3 is unique among most common energy drinks because it has no artificial flavors, no artificial sweeteners, and no artificial colors. It contains naturally derived caffeine from a blend of teas for improved mental alertness and stamina. Rev3 also includes additional vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that support energy metabolism at the cellular level.*
