"The timing of this partnership with USANA could not have been

upcoming international competitions and adding USANA's high-quality
nutritional supplements to our athletes' health program will help

Through the partnership, USANA will help the PSC-PSI promote
sports and athletics among Philippine youth, as well as assist in
the overall improvement of the national athletics program.

our athletes ready to represent our country in the international

products being enjoyed by thousands of world-class athletes. This
partnership is our commitment to the Philippine market who has

division, over 30 national athletes have received sponsorship from
USANA including weightlifting silver medalist Hidilyn Diaz,
Southeast Asian Games gold medalist Nikko

to include thousands of athletes and teams internationally," said
Dan Macuga, USANA chief
communications and marketing officer. "Being able to reach and
attract these elite competitors is a testament to USANA's
commitment to excellence in producing pure and high-quality
products that even the most accomplished athletes can trust."
