USANA Health Sciences, Inc. received certification of six of its products through NSF International’s Certified for Sport program. NSF’s independent certification helps athletes make educated decisions about the safety of the dietary supplements they choose to take.
USANA’s Essentials (Mega Antioxidant and Chelated Mineral), Proflavonal 90, Procosa II, Active Calcium and Body Rox supplements are now approved to carry NSF’s trusted Certified for Sport mark. USANA also received Good Manufacturing Practices registration and dietary supplement certification in 2007 through NSF.
“The Certified for Sport program validates USANA’s guarantee that our nutritional products are complete, balanced, safe and effective,” said Dr. Tim Wood, USANA executive vice president of research and development. “This latest certification, as with all of our third-party testing, is based on regular product formulas—the same products that USANA customers take every day. Receiving this certification is just another step toward fulfilling our goal of providing supplements that everyday consumers and world-class athletes can trust.”
This news couldn’t have come at a better time for USANA who saw their stock drop 21% this past Friday after the company lowered its revenue and earnings per share guidance for the year.
Reports emerged last year accusing USANA of being a pyramid scheme, prompting the SEC to announce a informal inquiry (now closed with no findings) into the company. Since then though, shares of the health-care vitamin and supplement maker have fallen sharply.
