Book Review: The Comparative Guide Convinced Me That USANA Supplements Are Among The Best
Summary: 5 Stars
I started taking USANA vitamins approximately 2 years ago; now I distribute them. This book seems to lay things out in clear terms. I have heard that it may not be objective. Even if that's the case, I have looked @ the ingredients and manufacturing processes of the other top rated vitamins, and, don't think that they are any better (if even as good) and seem to be about the same price. Some are only sold through doctors or chiropractors. USANA may or may not be the best; but, they are certainly among the best.
The main reason that I take USANA is that the supplements are Bioavailable. Many vitamins do not dissolve quickly enough (20 minutes or less) to be used by the body. To test, place vitamins in a glass of water. If they don't dissolve within 20 minutes or so, they are likely not going to be absorbed by your body.
USANA also manufactures to Pharmaceutical GMP (Good Manufacturing Processes), which is a higher standard than the more basic GMP.
I have found the best bang-for-buck to be the Essentials (a combo of Mega-antioxidant and Chelated Mineral), complemented by the Bi-Omega and Fibergy Powdered Drink Mix (much more fiber than the popular fiber supplements).
I view vitamins as, above all, an insurance policy.
This book helped me to understand that not all vitamins are the same, and, that some of the most popular vitamins may not be fully absorbed. Things are often not as they seem.
