In a recent study, ConsumerLab.com determined that USANA's
CoQuinone® 30 was found to contain its labeled amount of CoQ10.
This study evaluated coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) and ubiquinol
products from various nutritional supplement manufacturers to
determine whether they in fact contained the amounts of these
compounds stated on their labels. The review can be found on the
company's website at www.consumerlab.com.
In light of new FDA warnings against potentially unsafe
supplements available on the market, studies like this help
consumers and healthcare professionals make better decisions and
more informed recommendations when it comes to supplements.
"This is the third year in a row that USANA products have
received high marks from ConsumerLab.com," says Dan Macuga, USANA Vice President of Marketing
and Public Relations. "Previously, we've earned approval for our
Chelated Mineral, Mega Antioxidant, and Visionex® supplements.
We're proud of how well our products have performed in
independent testing from reputable third-party organizations."
"There's a lot of research and development that goes into each
of our products," says USANA Executive Director of Product
Development, Dr. John Cuomo. "Not
only do we use the highest quality ingredients possible, but we
take quality control and testing very seriously at USANA."

Merchant Based on Customer
