successes during this time included the rst commercially available diagnostic test for Epstein-Barr virus, better known as the virus that causes mononucleosis. But success was never Dr. Wentz aim. Instead, he centred his life around a dreama dream dating back all the way to his teenage years, when his father died at the age of 57 from heart disease. From that dening moment, Dr. Wentz made the decision to dream big; to dream of a world free from pain and suffering. A world free from disease. And he founded USANA Health Sciences to help further his dream by providing people all over the world with the most advanced supplements science can produce. This is why USANA is a company based on continuous product innovation. This is why our products are of the highest quality. This is why we have stringent manufacturing processes, ongoing scientic research, and an insatiable drive to produce exceptional products. This is why USANA is trusted by professional athletes and Olympians, but also everyday people who believe health is a vital part of a long, happy life. This is why USANA is not just another direct selling business. Were in the business of changing lives for the better. And were really, really good at it.

HEALTHY SUCCESS
Partnering with USANA has by far been the best decision for both my health and nancial independence. There is no other vehicle I could nd that enables one to create time and nancial freedom while improving health. With most business ventures, your health suffers as you become more successful. Thats certainly not the case with USANA; in fact its the exact opposite. Your health improves as you become successful.

What happens when an organization founded by Americas favourite doctor teams up with the worlds nest supplement company? A healthy and charitable winning combination! So how did the dynamic duo of Dr. Mehmet Oz HealthCorps and USANA come to be? The answer is a common goal and a driving force to make the world a happier, healthier place. Dr. Myron Wentz and Dave Wentz are extraordinary humanitarians. With the creation of the USANA True Health Foundation, USANA has been able to donate emergency items and aid in good health for people, especially children, all over the world. The mission of USANAs True Health Foundation lines up perfectly with that of the HealthCorps Foundationcreated by world-renowned Cardio Thoracic Surgeon and two-time Emmy Award-winning talk show host Dr. Mehmet Oz and his wife,
producer, writer, and TV news contributor, Lisa Oz. HealthCorps was created to ght against teenage obesity, one of the most pressing health issues in the United States. With teen mentoring, HealthCorps teaches young people how to become educated consumers and make healthy food choices. The relationship is a natural t, with HealthCorps and USANA having a shared interest in spreading health. It was apparent from their rst meeting that Dr. Oz had done his homework on Dr. Wentz. He wanted to know everything about Dr. Wentz research on optimal cellular health. The two hit it off immediately. It was the beginning of a beautiful relationship built on absolute mutual respect. Its been fantastic getting to know Dr. Oz better and better, realizing the same
philosophies he follows, we follow. And so we feel the power of working together. That we can do a lot more working together than we can do apart, says USANA CEO Dave Wentz. Now USANA and HealthCorps have the ability to leverage resources and experience maximum impact on the lives of teens. The goal is to create the healthiest families on earth, and when it comes to that, two heads are better than one. Dr. Oz expresses his gratitude to USANA. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for trusting us in this relationship. Youre a lot more of a foundation supporter in this endeavour than you could ever imagine, and it means the world to us that you trust us enough and we can embark on this voyage together.

CREATING A FOUNDATION
By Christine Wood, MD, USANA Scientic Advisory Council, practicing pediatrician, author of How to Get Kids to Eat Great and Love It! and www.kidseatgreat.com Every day in my ofce, I see busy working moms bringing their family members in for appointments, and they want them to get better fast. Many times, there is frustration because their family is sick so often, and this has families questioning themselves and me: What else can I do? There are some easy steps you can take. Hand washing, reducing exposure to other sick people, good sleep habits, and eating a balanced diet are all important in keeping families healthy. Proper nutrition in the developmental years is also essential for creating a foundation of good health throughout life. However, most families do not get the right amounts of many essential nutrients, and almost a quarter of the vegetables consumed are in the form of French fries! High-quality nutritional supplementation for families can help ensure that growing bodies get the nutrition they need.
exercise, we drew a line in the sand and are now taking care of our health and the health of our children. Craig and Becky turned their health around and began to instill positive, healthy habits in their two children. Family health became incredibly important for the Lawsons. We are condent that, since conception, our children have been given the best of nutrition, they say. With this gift of health, we believe our future is healthy, bright, and energetic! The key word in family health is family, they say. Craig and Becky wanted to be healthy, but whats more, they wanted their children to be healthy. By being able to retire from their professional jobs, they were nally able to combine family and health. We are both at home raising our young children together. We dont miss a tear or triumph. The ripple effect of the blessings that USANA provides is immeasurable, they conclude. Thank you USANA!

These positive health choices take on more importance when were confronted with the realities of the world around us. Public health scientists have found new evidence of the threats to our cellular health posed by our toxic environment. The air we breathe, water we drink, and foods we eat contain substances that may be damaging to our cells. Any tissue that is exposed to the environment, including the skin and the linings of the respiratory and gastrointestinal passages may be especially vulnerable. The human body is made of cells, and those cells work together to sustain your
life, USANA founder and chairman Dr. Myron Wentz says. Other medical professionals concur on the importance of supplementation. Many researchers believe supplementary antioxidants are necessary for aiding the bodys normal defence systems in combating free radicals. My father started USANA Health Sciences with a focused vision of freeing the world from pain and suffering, USANA CEO Dave Wentz says. He envisioned a world where people experienced physical health, emotional well-being, and nancial stability. He wanted to give his family and families
of thousands of others the means to enjoy life to its fullest in happiness and health. You are in charge of your happiness and health. It starts with the healthy choices you make. Currently, hundreds of thousands of families around the world are supplementing their diets with USANA products, and making the positive choice to pursue a healthier tomorrow.

ment agencies periodically drop in to inspect our manufacturing facility. They stop by to make sure were meeting the highest standards while we produce our products, and they require strict adherence to certain procedures and documentation. For example, in order to offer products to Canadian Preferred Customers and Associates, USANA adheres to standards set by Health Canadas Natural Health Products Directorate, which regulates health products for sale in Canada. They ensure the products are safe, effective, and of high quality. For the Australia market, USANA has been meeting the rigorous guidelines of the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration for years. `And USANA also already adheres to a more rigorous quality assurance program in the manufacture
of its nutritional supplements by complying with pharmaceutical-level Good Manufacturing Practices, or GMPs. Did we stop there? Nope. In 2011, USANA took everything a step further. Our manufacturing facility became a registered FDA Drug Establishment. Because USANA has been voluntarily adhering to these FDA standards for years, no changes needed to be made to our manufacturing processes in order to comply with the increased FDA scrutiny. But the new Drug Establishment Registration simply makes things ofcial. Now, this may have you wondering: what about other supplement companies? Do they meet these standards? Its hard to say. Other supplement companies are only required to follow the FDAs less stringent dietary supplement standards.
And while a few other companies out there can say they manufacture their products in a registered FDA Drug Establishment, many of them outsource the responsibility of manufacturing to a third party vendor. USANA is different in that we take the responsibility of creating the highest-quality supplements upon ourselves. We manufacture the majority of our products in-house at our own state-of-the-art facility in Salt Lake City, Utah. We want to make sure we know exactly whats going into our products so you can trust youre getting the best of the best. The amazing quality of our manufacturing processes is just one more way USANA shows its commitment to creating the highest quality products on the market.
NO COMPROMISE APPROACH
I was a quality control and special products supervisor for a national micro-premix company in the feed industry. I used to marvel in the lab at the nutrition that we afforded our domestic animals, thinking that if we fed ourselves as well as our livestock, we would be a healthier population. Enter USANA! I truly appreciate the assurance with USANAs rigorous in-house manufacturing. USANAs no compromise approach to quality and excellence gives us the piece of mind that we are always getting and sharing the best. You cant put a price on that.

THE FUTURE OF BUSINESS IS HERE
Actually, its been here for a while. Maybe you didnt notice it because of the lack of flashno shining corporate monoliths shooting higher into the sky or golden parachutes floating safely to the ground. You might have been searching for another big, bold ad or a hot stock symbol. Thats OK. But when youre looking for the future of businessand the present, reallyyou have to train your eyes away from the billboards and the TV. You wont find it there. Try looking closely at your neighbours, friends, and family. There, in the relationships you build with people, youll find the present and future of business, and lasting hope for the entrepreneurial spirit. The future of business isnt in a cubicle on a nondescript floor of a non-descript office building. Its in your living room, in the strength of peoples convictions, and in the vision of those looking to make a positive change. Direct selling is the present and the future of business. And there has never been a better time to start. The direct selling industry has been growing steadily, and there is still plenty of room for motivated individuals to experience a life of financial and time freedom. The World Federation of Direct Selling Associations (WFDSA) estimates worldwide retail sales for 2011 at $153.7 billion, and puts the number of people participating in direct selling at 91.5 million. In North America alone, the WFDSA places sales figures at $32 billion. Those are staggering numbers. But the benefits the 91.5 million people are experiencing around the world are even more impressive. Consider that with direct selling, you have:
YOUR
Big opportunities for growth and profit with little start-up cost and virtually no overhead. No restrictions on education, experience, age, background, or financial status. The only restriction in direct selling is the amount of effort a given person is willing to put in. Leveraged income, and the chance to earn money while helping others succeedinstead of earning it because others fail. The ability to set your own schedule, and the flexibility and freedom to enjoy life. A chance to grow as a person by overcoming challenges, achieving goals, and getting out of your comfort zone.
While the unparalleled opportunity for growth and the extra benefits make direct selling the avenue for entrepreneurship now and in the future, its the industrys unique ability to affect positive change that sets it apart. Thats why youll find the future of business in the faces of people struggling to make ends meet. Single mothers and fathers looking to support their children. Couples burdened with debt. Recent college graduates wading into uncertain economic waters. Retirees looking for a financial security blanket. Direct selling gives you the opportunity to make money and change your life. But, unlike other opportunities, direct selling also allows you to help make positive changes in the lives of others as well. And thats why, even without the flash, the present and future of direct sellingand the future of business in generallooks so bright.
I was able to pick up my daughter Kimberly any time from school; thats something I wasnt able to do with my oldest son, Adrian, Vincent explains. I missed the rst ve years of his life. He was asleep when I left for work in the morning and asleep when I got home at night. Theres nothing I can do to make up for that. I need to guide Adrian so he wont end up like I was. Although Adrian attended pharmacy school, he has now joined forces with his father and mother, Mable, to make their USANA business a family affair. Vincent and his familys lifestyle has completely changed since he made the switch from pharmacist to USANA Associate. Were very blessed that USANA has given us the freedom to spend time with our family, provided us with nancial freedom, and most importantly, allowed us the opportunity to maintain our health, Vincent says.
So Vincent turned to USANA, rst for its high-quality nutritional supplements and then as a viable business opportunity with the potential for income he never imaginedwith fewer required hours.
From the very beginning, Vincent knew hed stumbled upon something spectacular. He rmly believes USANA has given him a second chance at living the life he desired.
A rock solid, dynamic business with resources and staying power to thrive in a challenging, changing global market
Growth and profitability achieved with integrity to create the ultimate bottom line
An investment in research and development to stay on the cutting edge and maintain superiority
A clear mission that inspires every team member to strive for excellence
USANA offers all of that, plus a proven direct marketing model destined to be the world-class standard in the new era of professional and social networking. I encourage you to take control of your own future and consider the USANA opportunity.

Commissions are based on your GSV, and are rst converted into Commission Volume Points (CVP) and then are translated into your local currency. With USANA, you have the potential to get paid every single week.
$108,000 is the average yearly income for an established, full-time USANA Associate. $35,000 is the annual average of those who earned as little as one commission cheque each month. Total earnings include commissions, Leadership Bonus, Matching Bonus, ontests, and incentive compensation. The number of full-time Associates who have maxed at least 1 Business Centre during the year equals less than 1% of all Associates. Those Associates earning as little as one cheque a month and associated with USANA for more than six months equals 3% of all ordering Associates. If you include all 135,590 ordering Associates, which includes: Associates not actively building a business (acting as wholesale buyers), Associates who just joined (as little as one day), and those who are just beginning to build their customer base, the average yearly income is still $873.25 with nearly one in three earning a cheque. To date, USANA has had more than 200 global Associates become lifetime Million Dollar Club members.

Anna Lozano Ontario, Canada After graduating from the Richard Ivey School of Business in April 2007, Anna Lozano began her career in international advertising sales. This gave her the opportunity to work abroad, travel to amazing places, and even meet her husband, Yvan Lozano. But when Anna returned to Toronto two years later, she realized that her bank account wasnt much healthier than it was when she left. I knew that I had to take a new action or two, five, or 10 years down the road Id be in the exact same position, making my bosses wealthier, she says. She began exploring the health and wellness industry when she met USANA Associate Leanne Grechulk in April 2010, who introduced her to the company. Anna quickly realized that direct selling was the perfect vehicle for her to create financial independence and outstanding health. Within two short years, USANA has given me the opportunity to take full control of my health, my finances, and my time, Anna says. The most incredible part has been working with an inspired, motivated, passionate team of wellpreneurs, and together we focus on educating others to take control of their now, and design their best future through USANA!
A GRATEFUL OPPORTUNITY
Every day is a new day. What we do with our days makes all the difference. It is a commitment we made years ago to keep making a difference one person at a time.We were given strong mentorship early in our business experience and have done our best to share health and opportunity wherever we go. Helping others and mentoring them to achieve their dreams is important to us. Putting this all together over the years has blessed us with a strong business and relationships across the globe. We are grateful every day for the opportunity USANA gave us to fulfill our dreams. We have grown so much over the past years and really grown accustom to this lifestyle. We are committed to helping others achieve the same. Ordinary people can live an extraordinary life by helping more people. Its a great purpose to live by.
