My Story

When I was first introduced to USANA I was very interested in the business, but I wasn't sure I would have time for anything new in my life. Especially because my wife and I were adjusting to having twins. Having twins and a three year old! Wow, our lives were already busy. But, after hearing more and more about the company, the company's mission, and the impressive product line I knew had to give this a chance. The company was impressive, publicly traded, and led by Dr. Myron Wentz, a world-renowned scientist. This was my opportunity to fulfill a lifelong dream of running my own business.

Having found USANA was the best thing that has happened to us!

"Success from Home Magazine Features USANA Health Sciences"

USANA featured in its November 2006 issue. This national magazine, which focuses on the multibillion-dollar direct sales industry, dedicated the entire issue to USANA.

The magazine includes profiles of some of USANA's top independent Associates, an in-depth look at USANA Founder Dr. Myron Wentz, articles about USANA's nutritional and skin-care products, and profiles of some of the many world-class athletes who trust their health to USANA. The issue also contains articles from well-known authors and business consultants Robert Kiyosaki, Stephen Covey, Denis Waitley, and Amanda Gore.

"USANA is excited to be featured in such a well-known industry publication," said USANA President Dave Wentz. "We believe Success from Home will be a powerful sales tool for our Associates when they present USANA's exceptional products and home-based business opportunity."

USANA Health Sciences formulates exceptional, science-based nutritional and personal-care products.

However, inferior manufacturing can destroy even the greatest product formulations. For this reason, USANA manufactures its own nutritional supplements, and voluntarily meets pharmaceutical Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). Pharmaceutical GMP standards are far more stringent than the food GMP re quirements set by the U.S. government for supplements.

To adhere to the exacting standards of pharmaceutical GMP, and to ensure the quality of every product manufactured, USANA inspects all raw ingredients before they are mixed, tests the product during manufacturing, and performs a final analysis before any product is sent to the customer.

USANA's Quality Assurance team keeps track of every detail, from careful testing and evaluation of raw materials, to meticulous product shipping and storage. Visitors to USANA's corporate headquarters can take a self-guided tour to see USANA's manufacturing process firsthand.

$85,000 is the average annual income for established, full-time USANA Associates. $23,300 is the average annual income for Associates who earn as little as one commission check a month. Total includes all earnings from the compensation plan, Leadership Bonus, and contests and incentives. Calculations based on earnings between February 2008 and January 2009. Figures should not be considered as guarantees or projections of actual earnings, which result only from consistent, successful sales efforts. To be considered in a rank's earnings, Associates must have earned checks at a median rank for at least 16 weeks. According to results from an in-house survey taken between 2004 and 2006, the primary reason 17% of USANA independent business owners join the company is to improve their financial future. 21% of that group earns a check at least once a month. Of those whose primary reason is to earn enough to replace a full-time income, 41% have been Associates for at least one year and 56% are full-time Gold Directors and above. The number of Gold Directors and above who have maxed at least 1 Business Center during the year equals less than 1% of all Associates. Those earning as little as one check a month equal approximately 3% of all Associates. The average annual income for all 158,934 USANA Associates, including those who are brand new or who are not actively building a business, is $618.55, with nearly one in three earning a check. To date, USANA has more than 130 Million Dollar Club members.
