Condition While You Cleanse with Celavive® Creamy Foam and Gentle Milk Cleansers

Celavive® Creamy Foam and Gentle Milk Cleanser

Condition your skin while you cleanse with the formula that’s right for your skin type.

Your skin has a natural glow that’s ready to shine through. But dirt and grime can dull that sparkle. Reveal your real radiance as you purify and condition your delicate facial skin with Celavive.

Choose the cleanser formulated for your skin type:

Dry, sensitive: Celavive® Gentle Milk Cleanser—a soap-free, non-foaming cleanser that restores soothing protective moisture while it gently washes away dirt and impurities.

Oily, combination: Celavive® Creamy Foam Cleanser—a mild, soap-based cleanser that balances oil as it cleanses. It also aids the skin’s natural exfoliation process as the rich foaming action removes dead cells from the top layer of the skin.

Both cleansers are loaded with active ingredients that deep clean without stripping skin’s natural oils. The Olivol® Botanical Blend also replenishes moisture to keep skin hydrated. After each use, you will notice the difference:

  • Skin is clean, and looks clear and bright
  • Skin feels soft, conditioned, and comfortably refreshed

Cleanser is the second step in your regimen of Celavive products. Use it after cosmetics or excess pollutants have been pre-cleansed away with Celavive Conditioning Makeup Remover. Follow with Celavive Perfecting Toner to ensure you have thoroughly rinsed off your cleanser and remove any remaining dirt you may have missed.

Made without parabens, alcohol, or sulfates, Celavive Gentle Milk Cleanser and Creamy Foam Cleanser are safe and gentle enough to use twice a day, every day.

Cleansing Helps Protect Your Complexion from Pollution

The skin on your face has a dirty job. As you go through your day, sweat and oils accumulate. Makeup and sunscreen can pile on. Plus, it’s exposed to continually increasing levels of pollution in your environment.

Your skin can be especially sensitive to pollutants in the air—particulate matter, oxides, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), etc. This pollution comes from a variety of sources: traffic exhaust, smoke, solvents, and even plain old dust. A complete skincare routine that begins with a deep cleanse is key to keeping skin looking healthy.

Water is simply not enough. And the bar soap or body wash you use for your body is too harsh for your delicate facial skin. It may leave your face feeling “squeaky clean.” But that feeling comes at a price—skin that is vulnerable because it has been stripped of essential lipids, oils, and moisture.

A cleanser specially formulated for delicate facial skin is critical. However, cleansers are not all created equal. You need a cleanser that not only removes pollutants from the skin but something that also protects the health of your skin’s moisture barrier by providing hydration.

Get a Clean Start with Celavive Cleansers

Facial cleansers use surfactants—compounds that surround dirt and oil then break them down. By dissolving impurities on the surface of the skin, surfactants make it easier to wash away dirt, sweat, and normal skin bacteria. These agents can also wash away some natural oils and fats.

Harsh cleansers that don’t contain the right conditioning ingredients may penetrate and disrupt the skin barrier. This can lead to skin irritation and tightness. Damage to the skin barrier also leaves underlying skin cells vulnerable.

Celavive Gentle Milk Cleanser and Creamy Foam Cleanser are designed to clean your skin and moisturize the skin barrier at the same time to keep skin looking healthy. They do this by using surfactants balanced with skin conditioning ingredients that are appropriate for the intended skin type.

Gentle Milk Cleanser uses hydrating fatty-acid based cleansers combined with mineral-rich deep sea water and pure meltwater from the Northern Alps. Dirt and grime are washed away with triethylhexanoin and glyceryl stearate. In addition to dissolving impurities, these compounds absorb into the skin to help it retain moisture and give a smooth appearance.

Replenishing fatty acids from natural oils—including lauric, palmitic, and myristic acid—are found in Creamy Foam Cleanser. These cleansing agents are combined with a sugar-based cleanser and a foaming fruit extract:

  • Glycosyl trehalose balances moisture as it removes excess sebum from the skin. Less sebum on skin can help reduce a shiny, oily appearance.
  • Soapberry (Sapindus trifoliatus) extract has been used by the indigenous people of northwestern North America for hundreds of years. Berries from the soap nut tree were mashed or whipped into a thick foam and used as a detergent. High in saponins—phytochemicals with soap-like foaming properties—these antioxidant-rich berries are gentle cleansers.

Restore Rejuvenating Moisture to Your Skin with Celavive Olivol Botanical Blend

Immediately begin to replenish any moisture lost during cleansing with the exclusive Olivol Botanical Blend. You’ll find this unique combination of plant-based extracts in Celavive Creamy Foam Cleanser and Gentle Milk Cleanser. This blend has been shown to deliver intense hydration for up to 24 hours in just one use.

USANA Olivol® uses a unique process to extract the moisturizing components of olive oil and channel them to provide safe and gentle hydration to your skin. Watermelon rind, lentil, and apple fruit extracts help promote normal production of your skin’s natural moisturizers, so skin looks hydrated. It also helps attract and hold water in the surface of the skin for a plumper appearance.

Skin Looks and Feels Soft and Conditioned

If your skin feels tight after cleansing, then you’ve probably stripped away too much of the natural hydration in your skin. To keep your skin feeling refreshed and soft, Celavive cleansers include glycerin and other skin conditioners. These will help your skin retain natural moisture and protect the lipids in the skin barrier.

To help retain water in the superficial layers of your skin and prevent dehydration, Celavive Creamy Foam Cleanser and Gentle Milk Cleanser include sodium PCA. This salt acts as a humectant—a substance that attracts and binds moisture.

Both cleansers reduce the appearance of dryness and begin to replenish some of the lipids in your skin barrier with glucosyl ceramide. Ceramides make up almost 50 percent of the lipids (fats) on the surface of your skin. They are critical to the healthy function of cell membranes, and they help cells interact with their environment to help skin retain its brightness.

Squalane also helps restore and retain moisture and lipids in the top layer of the skin. Production of squalene, the natural lipid in your skin, dramatically decreases in your 30s and can lead to noticeable dryness. Replacing it with a stable, saturated form derived from sugar can improve the balance of the skin’s natural oils to support the look of healthy hydration. And, it’s non-comedogenic, which means it does not clog pores.

Antioxidant-rich, non-allergenic soybean (Glycine soja) seed extract helps protect skin’s hyaluronic acid and collagen for a hydrated appearance. It also helps balance sebum in the skin for a bright, even skin tone.

For additional brightening support for sensitive skin, Gentle Milk Cleanser also contains a conditioning soybean extract that is fermented with lactobacillus bacteria. Fermentation helps concentrate the nutritional value of soybeans and effectively deliver conditioning ingredients into the skin as it cleanses.

Erase all Traces of Cosmetics and Pollution with Celavive® Conditioning Makeup Remover

Celavive® Conditioning Makeup Remover

Start your two-step cleansing regimen with a pre-cleanse to remove cosmetics and pollution.

Wipe away your makeup in one clean sweep with Celavive Conditioning Makeup Remover. This water-based formula gently removes even the most stubborn waterproof and long-wear makeup from your face, lips, and eyes.

Celavive Conditioning Makeup Remover is the pre-cleanse in your two-step cleansing regimen.

Clean Skin Sets the Stage for Healthy Skin

A meticulous cleansing routine is essential in any skincare regimen. When skin isn’t clean, pores can get clogged and the skin can become dry and irritated. Additionally, dirty skin will interfere with the action of other skincare products.

Dermatologists recommend that you wash your face twice a day. Once during your morning routine, before makeup is applied. Then again in the evening to remove makeup or impurities before heading to bed.

A two-step cleansing process is best. Start with Celavive Conditioning Makeup Remover.

A pre-cleanse before washing your face can make a world of difference. This step will remove makeup, excess oil, dead skin, sunscreen, and grime that can accumulate, especially in dusty or polluted environments.

Next, reach for a cleanser that is suitable for your skin type. Try Celavive Creamy Foam Cleanser if you have oily or combination skin. Choose Celavive Gentle Milk Cleanser if your skin is dry or sensitive. This second cleansing step will ensure everything has been removed. It will also prepare the skin to better absorb serums and moisturizing products.

Celavive Conditioning Makeup Remover Lifts Stubborn Cosmetics

Makeup can form a barrier on the skin. It can trap dirt, grime, bacteria, and pollutants. Makeup can also be very difficult to remove. Oil- and water-based cosmetics cannot be removed with water alone. A makeup remover is a great first step. You want to find a makeup remover that is effective yet gentle to help preserve the healthy appearance of your skin.

Traditional makeup removers can contain harsh chemicals. These chemicals wipe away cosmetics, but they can also strip the skin, leaving it feeling dry and irritated.

The ingredients in Celavive Conditioning Makeup Remover were chosen to effectively remove cosmetics while retaining the skin’s moisture. The active cleansing agents are PEG-7 glyceryl cocoate and PEG-15 glyceryl isostearate:

  • Glyceryl cocoate is derived from coconut oil. It acts as an emollient that softens skin and protects your natural lipid layer as it dissolves oil- and water-based cosmetics. It helps cosmetics rinse cleanly off the skin without causing dryness.
  • PEG-15 glyceryl isostearate is a mild cleansing agent that is mixed with conditioning fatty acids.

Celavive Conditioning Makeup Remover Hydrates and Moisturizes as It Works

To help ensure the skin stays soft and moist, Celavive Conditioning Makeup Remover includes three natural sugars. These sugars condition, hydrate, and moisturize. Together, these ingredients help reveal a beautiful, healthy complexion.

Two of the sugars found in Conditioning Makeup Remover, mannitol and xylitol, work together for best effectiveness in the formula. They have been shown to improve skin hydration by trapping moisture close to the skin. This helps smooth out the rough look caused by dryness. This layer of moisture also helps keep out environmental elements that can further dry the skin.

Squalane is another important sugar for skin health found in Celavive Conditioning Makeup Remover. Squalene is a natural component of human skin sebum (oil). But its production dramatically decreases in your 30s and can lead to noticeable dryness. Topical application of a form derived from sugar can help augment the loss that occurs with age.

Sugar squalane is a safe and effective natural alternative to petroleum-based paraffin and silicone. It is non-comedogenic (does not clog pores). Squalane acts as a moisturizing ingredient and source of replenishing fatty acids. By mimicking your natural body oils, it helps moisturize and soften skin. It will leave your skin feeling silky, supple, and smooth—not oily or greasy.

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.

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.

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.

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.*

USANA® Palmetto Plus™

Palmetto Plus is a science-based supplement for men that supports prostate health.

The Benefits of Palmetto Plus

Palmetto Plus is a combination of saw palmetto, lycopene, and soy isoflavones, which have been shown to assist in retaining prostate health.*

Maintaining prostate health should be a concern for all men, because as they age, many are at risk for developing prostate problems. However, a healthy diet and exercise, coupled with targeted, standardized botanical extracts, such as those found in Palmetto Plus, may help support prostate health.*

The Science of Palmetto Plus

Palmetto Plus is a comprehensive formula that, over time, may provide support for prostate health. Considerable clinical research has shown that a significant percentage of men using saw palmetto show a positive correlation between saw palmetto and prostate health.*

Lycopene is the most abundant carotenoid (vitamin-like compound) found in the prostate and may play a role in supporting a healthy prostate by supporting a balanced immune function and providing antioxidant protection.*

Soy isoflavones, a group of phytochemicals found in soybeans, have been shown to help maintain health functions throughout the body.*

The USANA Difference

USANA is one of only a few major manufacturers to combine saw palmetto with lycopene and soy isoflavones in a single product. Palmetto Plus is a convenient, effective way to obtain a comprehensive men’s health formulation at a reasonable price.*

USANA® PhytoEstrin™

USANA’s PhytoEstrin supplement contains herbs such as chasteberry powder and black cohosh, which can help support the transition into menopause.*

The Benefits of PhytoEstrin

Natural approaches to maintaining health before, during, and after menopause have become popular over the last few years. For many women, regular exercise, a proper diet, nutritional supplementation with vitamin E, vitamin B5, and calcium, and botanical preparations of estrogen-like compounds—such as those found in PhytoEstrin—may help improve the quality of life during the transition to menopause and the years following.*

Some authorities theorize that high levels of soy isoflavones in Asian diets contribute to Asian women transitioning through menopause more easily than those women living in Western cultures. Soy isoflavones are biologically active chemical compounds from plants such as grains, legumes, fruits, and vegetables that bind to the same estrogen receptor sites and behave similarly to human estrogen.

SHOP HERE

The Science of PhytoEstrin

For centuries, chasteberry, a shrub native to Mediterranean Europe and Central Asia, has been used to help support women’s health, particularly symptoms of peri- and post-menopause. And over the last 50 years, scientific studies have supported the use of chasteberry in supporting women’s health. Chasteberry has been found effective in easing menopausal symptoms, and is a mixture of iridoids, flavonoids, and glycosides.*

Black cohosh, a plant native to eastern North America, has also been in use for many years, particularly in Native American traditional medicine, to support women’s health and ease menopausal symptoms. Dong quai, a dried root found in China, has been used extensively in Asia for supporting women’s health as well.*

After menopause, when levels of estrogen and progesterone drop, soy isoflavones like those found in PhytoEstrin may help support cardiovascular and bone health.*

The USANA Difference

All-natural PhytoEstrin is a broad-spectrum, botanical formulation containing phytoestrogens from five different sources, including a guaranteed 14 mg of soy isoflavones to help maintain women’s health. PhytoEstrin also contains a unique combination of herbs that complement the activity of the soy isoflavones: black cohosh, dong quai, licorice-root extract, and chasteberry powder. Together with isoflavones, these herbs help support cardiovascular health while providing support through menopausal symptoms during the peri- and post-menopausal years.*

Preserving Healthy Joints Hinges on Your Lifestyle

It’s pretty easy to take your joints for granted. But life would be really difficult without them, because they allow you to move freely. That’s why it’s so important to take care of healthy joints.

Your body has a few different types of joints. The most common is what’s known as a synovial joint. This is the type that has the greatest range of motion, allowing your bones to move together. You can thank these joints for your ability to run, climb, dance, wave at a friend, or hug a loved one.

Normal synovial joint anatomy. Healthy joint detailed illustration.

Synovial joints are unique, because they’re the only type of joint that has a narrow space between your bones—the joint cavity. These spaces are filled with synovial fluid, which consists mostly of hyaluronic acid. This fluid lubricates and provides nutrients to the cartilage that caps the end of your bones. It also acts like a shock absorber to cushion the joints. The entire joint is enclosed by a capsule made of connective tissue along with ligaments and tendons that help keep the joint stable.

Articular cartilage is the type of cartilage that caps the ends of your bones. It’s made of highly specialized joint cells (chondrocytes) that are suspended in a gel-like environment called the extracellular matrix. The chondrocytes are responsible for producing the substances that make up that environment. Within the matrix, you’ll find water, collagen, and other non-collagen proteins. It also contains proteoglycans, which are sugars linked to proteins that bind the water needed to lubricate the joint.*

Joint lubrication doesn’t just come from water. Synovial fluid is a thick liquid created by a membrane that lines the joint cavity. The fluid is made primarily of hyaluronic acid, which is another type of sugar—a glycosaminoglycan.

Your body uses the amino sugar glucosamine to support the production of proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans.

Keeping your joints healthy will allow the bones to continue moving together comfortably, helping you stay fit and active.

So, what can you do to preserve the health of your joints?

Try to stay safe out there. Obviously, nobody sets out to get hurt. But injuries can take a toll on your joints.

Otherwise, the most common lifestyle factors that impact your joint health and function are age, genetics, weight, and activity-induced wear and tear. You can’t stop the clock or change your genes. But you can help preserve healthy, flexible joints to keep your body moving in a few key ways:

  • Manage your weight to avoid the excessive pressure that could change the structure of your joints.
  • Get enough moderate exercise to keep your body fit, because your joints need the support of strong bones and muscles for stability. Plus, staying active will help maintain healthy articular cartilage, which requires regular joint movement and dynamic, load-bearing pressure for proper function.
  • Eat a varied, healthy diet and give your joints the nutrients that will help them stay healthy every day.

Comprehensive Joint Support with Procosa Helps You Keep Moving Forward*

Once the cartilage that caps your bones is gone, it’s gone. This is why it’s important to focus on preserving what you have. Procosa can help by providing essential building blocks for compounds needed to support stable, flexible, and strong joints.*

  • Vitamin C is critical to the production of collagen to support the strength and stability of your connective tissues.*
  • Manganese helps give collagen its strength. It also plays a role in the production of synovial fluid.*
  • Glucosamine encourages the production of collagen and hyaluronic acid to help lubricate and maintain the healthy function of your joints.*

Glucosamine is naturally formed by the body, but it can also come from a supplement. Three tablets of Procosa a day provides 1,500 mg of glucosamine hydrochloride (HCl). This will help ensure your body has a supply available when needed to produce the fluids that lubricate your joints. This becomes especially important as you age, because the levels of hydration in your joints will naturally decline.*

Research backs up the benefits of glucosamine supplementation. Many knee studies have shown joint health benefits associated with taking glucosamine. This includes demonstrating that joint space can be better maintained with supplementation.*

Most supplements provide a form of glucosamine derived from shellfish. USANA offers a vegetarian formula by using a high-quality glucosamine HCl instead. By blending the HCl form of glucosamine with potassium and magnesium sulfate, Procosa provides the same benefits of glucosamine sulfate without using animal-based ingredients.

Protect and Renew Your Joint Health with InCelligence Technology®

Procosa is not your typical joint supplement. Many deliver glucosamine with chondroitin sulfate. However, an observational study showed that using glucosamine along with Meriva® Bioavailable Curcumin Complex is more effective than the combination of glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate. This enhanced effectiveness is why you will find the two ingredients in Procosa’s unique InCelligence Joint-Support Complex.

You’ve already read about the glucosamine in Procosa. But what is the Meriva Bioavailable Curcumin Complex?

Curcumin (Curcuma longa L.) is the yellow compound that comes from turmeric. It’s well-known for its antioxidant properties. However, traditionally, you’d have to use a lot of this phytonutrient to get the benefits, because it’s poorly absorbed. Meriva® is an innovative phytosome that combines the curcumin with a phospholipid (a type of fat from soy lecithin). This helps the curcumin pass through cell membranes more easily.*

You may see some products on the market labeled as curcumin liposomes. While both liposomes and phytosomes help improve the bioavailability of curcumin, they are structurally different. Liposomes encapsulate curcumin in the middle of a group of lipid molecules, rather than fully integrating the curcumin within each lipid molecule. In other words, phytosomes create a chemical bond between the curcumin and the lipid rather than acting as a package for it. This means more of the active ingredient is contained in each phytosome molecule. So, a smaller dose can provide the desired results. The phytosome structure has been shown to be a better delivery system.

Research has shown that the curcumin-lipid complex in Meriva is nearly 30 times more bioavailable than standard curcumin preparations. So, you get the benefits of curcumin, but at a significantly lower dose.

And Meriva offers benefits you can feel. The phytosome has been shown to support many measures of joint health, including treadmill walking and subjective assessments of joint function and performance.*

Curcumin and glucosamine aren’t your average nutrients. They do more than nourish cells. They also can help turn on processes that your body naturally uses to support joint cells. These processes may have slowed down because of age or other lifestyle factors.*

The InCelligence Joint-Support Complex is designed to promote three important activities:

  • Cartilage cells (chondrocytes) maintain healthy function through a natural quality-control process called autophagy. This renews optimal joint-cell function to help preserve healthy articular cartilage and support healthy joint aging.*
  • Exercise can stimulate the immune system and result in temporary inflammation, which  is part of the body’s natural recovery mechanisms. Proactively promoting a healthy immune and inflammatory response after exercise helps restore normal structure and function to joints and tendons.*
  • Excessive oxidative stress can damage the structure of your joint cells and tissues; cartilage is especially vulnerable. Curcumin (along with the vitamin C in Procosa) provides antioxidant activity and encourages the production of your body’s natural antioxidant enzymes, like glutathione, for powerful protection against oxidative damage.*

Procosa Could Help You Look as Great as Your Joints Feel

Some words may have seemed familiar as you’ve read about how Procosa supports your joints: hyaluronic acid and collagen. You often hear these words in a different context—skin health.*

By promoting the production of these important compounds, Procosa may also offer benefits for your skin’s appearance.

  • Glucosamine has been shown to have positive effects on the health of skin cells and hydration by aiding the production of hyaluronic acid—a key molecule for your skin’s moisture.*
  • Vitamin C supports the skin’s firmness and elasticity because it’s essentials to the production of collagen—one of the main structural proteins in the epidermis.*

Supplementation with both glucosamine and vitamin C has been associated with maintaining a youthful appearance. So, taking Procosa may also help keep you looking as great as your joints feel.*

Give your skin and body even more of what it needs to stay healthy and vibrant, inside and out. Try using Celavive Skincare products to support a radiant appearance. And help keep your body fit by maintaining healthy bones and muscles, as well as flexible joints. You can do that by including the CellSentials, BiOmega, and MagneCal D in your daily supplement routine.*

Frequently Asked Questions About Procosa

Individuals who are allergic to sulfa drugs may mistake sulfa and sulfur as being the same substance. Sulfa is an abbreviated name for a specific type of antibiotics called sulfonamides.

Sulfur, on the other hand, is an essential mineral found in nearly all proteins, vitamin B1, and multiple amino acids. It is not possible to be allergic to sulfur because the body cannot function properly without it.

Sulfate is simply a combination of the elements sulfur and oxygen and is naturally present in relatively high concentrations in human blood.

No USANA product—including Procosa—contains sulfa drugs (sulfonamides).

Glucosamine, an active ingredient in Procosa, is chemically classified as an “amino sugar.” This is not the same as the sugars glucose, sucrose, fructose, etc., which provide energy in the form of calories.

Glucosamine contains no calories and will not generally affect blood glucose levels.

Procosa is generally appropriate for those with diabetes. However, it is always advisable to check with a physician or pharmacist before starting any new diet or supplement regimen.

Because articular cartilage does not contain any blood vessels, it receives nutrients more slowly by absorbing them from its surroundings. Research has shown that glucosamine plus exercise can demonstrate differences for some people between four and 12 weeks. Your results may vary.
