Jose Antonio Rivera, Professional Boxer
“I started taking USANA Nutritionals and as a result I feel healthier and stronger.* Despite all that I put my body through, I now feel better than ever. Seeing and feeling the results that USANA products had on me inspired me to become a USANA Independent Associate. Let me tell you—I will never look back!”

Timothy Ray Bradley, Jr., Professional Boxer
“I felt the difference in my energy levels right away after taking the USANA supplements. I felt so strong in the ring, I was starting to become afraid of myself! The RESET™ weight-management program, Nutrimeal™ drink mixes, and USANA^® Nutrition Bars helped me get to my required weight, and it was so much easier than what I had done before. And, I have been able to train harder with more strength and endurance.”*

Sijuola Shabazz, Boxer
“I am very grateful that God created such a great person as Dr. Wentz. Since I have been taking the USANA^® Essentials™ and a few of the other nutritionals, I feel healthier and I feel much more energetic in my workouts. An hour before I get in the ring I have a Rev3 Energy™ drink and I can feel the extra energy hours after the final bell. After taking Procosa^® II for just a week, I could feel a real difference in my joints, especially my elbows and shoulders. Thanks to USANA, my health feels like 110 percent!”

Jen Heil, CA Freestyle Mogul Skier
“Being Olympic Champion, World Champion, and four-time World Cup Overall Winner in Freestyle Mogul skiing is no fluke; it’s the result of years of meticulous training and preparation. USANA products are part of my daily routine. They help ensure that I maintain good health along with proper energy levels to train, travel, and compete around the world.”

Jillian Vogtli, U.S. Freestyle Mogul Skier
"I have been using the USANA products and I will use no other. I truly respect my body and am very aware of what I put in it. That is how I came to find USANA. I believe in the quality of the products as well as the research that is behind it."

Julia Murray, Canadian Ski Cross Team
"I have taken USANA^® vitamins for four years now, and they have helped me stay strong through the seasons of ski racing. I notice my recovery period is faster after a hard workout, which helps with the volume of training sessions I can put in. The USANA products give me a feeling of well-being every time I consume them. I know I have the essential vitamins I need to do what I do on the ski hill and off. USANA definitely plays a part on my road to the Olympics!"*

Audrey Robichaud, Freestyle Mogul Skier
“I care a lot about my health and my physical condition, which is why I choose to use the USANA Nutritionals on a daily basis. When I’m on the road for training and competition, I cannot always find a balanced diet everywhere I go. The USANA products provide me with the nutrients I need. I first used the products a month before the end of my freestyle ski season. I felt a high level of energy, and I finished with a gold medal in dual-moguls at the Canadian national freestyle ski championships. I want to maintain this excellence in my sport, and I want to achieve the best performance I can. I believe that USANA increases my energy and helps me get to the end of a long season.”*

Jennifer Botterill, Canadian National Women's Hockey Team
"As athletes, we are continuously pushing ourselves and demanding a lot from our bodies each and every day. USANA Essentials™ and Optimizers supplements have been a great addition to my lifestyle and an important part of looking after myself. They help me sustain my energy, and they allow me to perform at my best!"

Meaghan Mikkelson, Canada Women's Hockey
“As an athlete, nothing is more important than taking care of your body and making sure that you have everything you need to ensure optimal performance on a daily basis. USANA offers athletes safe and effective supplements that are essential in sustaining energy levels and overall health and wellness. Thank you USANA for creating a product that allows me to push myself to the limits!”

Darren Niedermeyer, Pole Vaulter
“Not all supplement manufacturers are the same. After reading the Comparative Guide to Nutritional Supplements, I decided to give USANA a chance because of their athlete guarantee and high quality. I realized my recovery time dropped significantly and ultimately allowed me to train harder. That is why I trust USANA and will continue to tell my family and friends about their products.”

Jared MacLeod, Olympic Track & Field Hurdler
"As a full-time athlete, I really push my body to the limit with all the intense workouts and training I do. In the past, I found my body would easily get run down, and I would just feel exhausted, which had a negative impact on my training. However, since I've been taking the USANA products, I am able to maintain my good health throughout the training season and I recover much faster from workouts. This allows me to train harder and prepare better for competitions."*

Gina Grain, Olympic Cyclist
“USANA has helped me push my body to new extremes. I am confident that by taking USANA supplements, my body is regenerating itself properly and safely.”*

Daniel Carruthers, Deaflympic Cyclist
“I have been taking USANA products for seven months now and have noticed a dramatic improvement in my ability to train hard and recover quickly for the next training session. I have also noticed sustained energy during my races and this has boosted my ability to perform when it counts in the late stages of a race. In fact, 2008 was my best season in my three-year career of elite-level racing, and I can attribute a large part of this success to USANA products.”

Doug LaBelle II, Professional Golfer on PGA Tour
"I have been taking the USANA supplements since 2006 and they are an important part of my daily routine. These supplements enable me to battle fatigue due to all the traveling I do from week to week. Thanks to USANA, I am able to stay healthy and focused everyday*."

Kevin Kouzmanoff, Major League Baseball, Oakland Athletics

"Through the course of a 200+ game schedule and the rigors of travel, I demand a lot from my body. With the help of USANA, I can count on being healthy and know my body is receiving the best vitamins and minerals possible. In turn, I know I can compete at the highest level possible."

Deji Oduwole, Canadian Football League
"I am very thankful for USANA. At the end of last season I was asked to change positions, and to do so I was told I had to gain 20+ pounds. This is easier said than done. Thanks to USANA's Nutrition Bars, soy protein, and vitamins, I have been able to put on lean muscle mass and get closer to my goal for next season."

Andy Studebaker, National Football League
“As a professional football player, it is crucial for my body to perform and recover at optimal levels. USANA’s MyHealthPak™ has given me the edge I need during a competitive season, and the quality nutrition my body needs to stay in shape in the off-season. With negative media surrounding the supplement industry, USANA provides me with the comfort of knowing that I am worry free, and taking the best products available. As my belief continually grows in USANA, I cannot stop encouraging more friends and family to use the same products I do every single day!”

Nikola Girke, Olympic Windsurfer
“During my Olympic campaign, I know anything can happen on race day. That’s why I want to be prepared. This starts with optimal health, which is why I chose USANA.”
