Health Sciences Inc. (NYSE: USNA) recently announced the addition
of a prenatal product to its already extensive line of quality

"It's a well-known fact that the typical diet is low in
micronutrients, and this is a special concern during pregnancy,
because a pregnant woman's nutritional needs increase," says
USANA CEO Dave Wentz. "Pregnant
women and women who want to become pregnant can reap huge health
benefits for themselves as well as their children by eating
sensibly and taking a well-designed, quality prenatal supplement.
Our BabyCare Prenatal Essentials provide a comprehensive range of
vitamins and minerals that are needed for a child's healthy growth
and development."*
In addition to delivering the most advanced levels of nutrients,
BabyCare Prenatal Essentials ensures high levels of vitamin A,
vitamin D, iron, biotin, magnesium, and high-potency iodine to give
women who are pregnant, want to become pregnant, or have just given
birth the best nutrition on the market. The product is also an
excellent source of folate. According to the FDA, healthy diets
with adequate folate may reduce a woman's risk of having a child
with brain or spinal cord defects.
USANA expanded in 2010 by acquiring China-based supplement manufacturer BabyCare
Ltd. The name BabyCare integrates USANA's business in China more fully into the USANA brand. "We are
pleased to incorporate the BabyCare logo on our U.S.-made prenatal
products," says Dan Macuga, USANA's
chief communications officer. "As a USANA company, BabyCare shares
our mission of improving the health of mothers and developing
children and fully complements our vision of helping current and
future generations live full, happy, healthy lives."*
The product will be featured in the Physicians' Desk Reference
for 2014, the authoritative source on prescription drugs.
