USANA leads the nutritional industry with its research and development. They currently hold dozens of patents for nutritional technology, including USANA Incelligence Complex.
What is Incelligence Technology?
After being a part of USANA and benefiting from their vitamin products for over 18 years. I have never seen in my nutritional career such an impressive technology.
We are witnessing the direction in which human nutrition is heading, primarily focusing on comprehending and progressing in human longevity through USANA Incelligence Technology.
USANA Incelligence Technology is an Intelligent Supplement System – the world’s first and innovative platform that uses cell signalling to support optimal cellular health and boosts endogenous systems associated with optimal lifespans.
This technology utilizes specific nutrients that have been specifically proven to be effective at communicating with human cells.
These types of vitamins help to reduce the biochemical noise caused by an unhealthy lifestyle and negative environmental factors, thereby activating the body’s natural abilities to promote vibrant health.
This groundbreaking formula is now integrated into many of USANA’s primary products where the antioxidant compounds associated with InCelligence help to support health and well-being at a level never seen before in research and health science labs.
Let’s take a deep dive into some of the USANA flagship vitamins and explore everything that you need to know about them.
USANA Product Categories
USANA is made up of three primary categories:
- Nutritional Vitamins and Minerals
- Weight Management Products (protein shakes/bars)
- Personal Care Products (Celavive Skincare and Sense Body Care products)
USANA’S Nutritional Products
USANA’s Nutritional Products are designed to help provide the body with the nutrients it needs to maintain optimal health and wellness. USANA is certainly world famous for its product range, but its research narrows in on other areas of the body that need additional nutrients.
There are over 55 nutritional products available in USANA’s range they focus on supporting heart health, boosting immune systems, improving joint health, eye health, detoxing the liver, cognitive development, supporting bones and nerves, helping maintain a healthy weight with the new Active Nutrition Range and many other areas of your body.
USANA’s flagship products are:
USANA Cellsentials – upgraded from USANA Essentials
The Cellsentials is USANA’s flagship product, a comprehensive multi-vitamin holding a combination of vitamins, core minerals, and power antioxidants supporting health cell maintenance, energy levels, immune function, cogitative function, cardiovascular health, and protection from damaging free radicals and oxidative stress.
The minerals and antioxidants are in separate bottles and are water and food-soluble so are taken together both with water at breakfast and dinner.

USANA Nutrimeal and Active Nutrition
USANA Nutrimeal has been the staple go-to for people around the world. It’s not just a protein powder, but a unique low glycemic value meal replacement with a blend of high-quality proteins with high fiber.
As a Qualified Nutritionist, I have not often seen a high-quality blended protein mixed in with a high fibre component. This was something I was very interested in, not only personally taking but recommending in my practice. Fibre is one of the nutrients we are lacking in with less than 20% achieving their daily recommended value.
With USANA Nutrimeal, it’s an easy way to increase fibre and provide your muscles with important, high-quality protein.
Nutrimeal also has a powerful micronutrient ratio making this protein powder a step above its competition.
Nutrimeal can be used as a post-workout muscle recovery protein shake while many people use it as a complete meal replacement on a weight loss journey.
USANA Nutrimeal there’s also the core protein powder found in the most purchased weight loss system to date, the USANA RESET Program.
The RESET is a focused 5-day weight loss program designed specifically to reset your metabolism and develop healthier eating patterns.
Most of the five days consist of healthy fibrous smoothies with healthy snacks in towards the end of the five days you integrate healthy low GI meals.
The average person who completes the program loses between two and five kilos.
While on the USANA RESET program, you are encouraged to take USANA’s Metabolism Plus product which helps to stimulate the metabolism and burn fat fast.
Nutrimeal in either a 540g gusset bag or you can choose the 28 single-serve pouches and pick from either French Vanilla, Chocolate, or Wild Strawberry.
I help maintain that loss of fat and to continue eating healthy we recommend My Action Product Meal Plans they have been expertly created by Qualified Nutritionists and Dieticians and are evidence-based to support your health and well-being.

USANA voluntarily adheres to the strictest of standards held within the pharmaceutical industry and in doing so invites third-party product testers to ensure quality control and product purity and potency maintained at the highest standard.
What is on the label is guaranteed to be inside the bottle, not one gram more or less than what is stated.
Are USANA Products Safe?
USANA Products are safe when used as directed.
The company only uses the highest quality ingredients and adheres to the strict manufacturing legislations of good manufacturing practices within the pharmaceutical industry which ensures the purity and potency of their products.
USANA ingredients are sourced from a variety of different suppliers and the testing criteria that the raw ingredients undergo before they even enter USANA’s FDA Registered facility is extensive.
All the raw ingredients undergo rigorous quality control measures which often means the ingredients are kept quarantined for months while the ingredients are tested for any contaminants that would compromise the purity and potency of the completed product.
Being a product that is manufactured to an extremely high standard, and one that is trusted by over 4,000 elite athletes not to contain anything that is contaminated with synthetic elements that could compromise an athlete in a drug test.
USANA then needs to factor in potency, purity, uniformity, disintegration, safety, and reliability of supply into their process.
