What are Essentials?

USANA’s foundation products are the ESSENTIALS™–the advanced nutritional products that everyone needs to take every day. They are designed to provide optimal nutritional support. The ESSENTIALS for adults are a combination of two products packaged as one:

• AO PRO, a comprehensive formula of high-potency vitamins, antioxidants, and other important nutrients that every adult needs every day for efficient cellular metabolism and to counteract the damaging effects of free radicals.
• CHELATED MINERAL, a full-spectrum blend of essential minerals and trace elements in a balanced, highly bioavailable formulation. When taken together with AO PRO, these supplements complete the nutritional foundation for every adult.

Procosa II

Every day your joints endure an enormous amount of stress from physical activity, including walking, lifting, and typing. Despite this heavy and constant use, we take our joints for granted and expect them to function trouble-free for several decades. However, more than 50 million people in the U.S. and more than 6 million in Canada suffer from some form of joint problem. The situation is worse for athletes and those who have high amounts of physical stress at work and at home. To help maintain healthy joints, USANA created PROCOSA® II.

* An adjunctive for the treatment of osteoarthritis
* Provides glucosamine sulphate to promote optimal joint health

CoQuinone

The energy that every cell needs to function is produced through a complex process in the mitochondria, an organelle within the cell, often called the cellular powerhouse. Cells store energy in a molecule called adenosine-5-triphosphate, or ATP. CoQ10 is an essential part of the electron transport chain used to make ATP. Thus ATP is synthesized and used by every cell in the body. Cells with the highest energy demands contain the highest levels of CoQ10. CoQ10 has been studied for years in the U.S., Europe, and Japan for its role in producing cellular energy. Several human clinical trials demonstrate maintenance of good muscle function.

* Supports a healthy cardiovascular system
* Provides superior antioxidant protection
* Contains CoQ10 and alpha lipoic acid in a highly bioavailable formula
