SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- There's nothing
fishy here. USANA Health Sciences, Inc. (NYSE: USNA), a

In a recent study, ConsumerLab.com determined that USANA's
BiOmegaTM contains its labeled amount of Fish Oil, EPA,
DHA and Omega-3s. This study tested similar products from
various nutritional supplement manufacturers to determine whether
they in fact contained the amounts of these compounds stated on
their labels. Problems were discovered in 30 percent of the
other Fish Oil and Omega-3 supplements. 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.
"We did it again. This is the fourth year in a row that
USANA products have received high marks from ConsumerLab.com," says
Dan Macuga, USANA Chief
Communications Officer. "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."
"We take quality control and testing very seriously at USANA,"
states Dr. Carsten Smidt, USANA Vice
President of Research and Development. "There is a lot of
research and development that goes into each of our products. We
use the highest quality ingredients possible."

Merchant Based on Customer
