NUTRITIONALS YOU CAN TRUST
For more than 15 years, athletes from around the globe have trusted USANA nutritional supplements to increase their energy levels and maintain their health.* USANA's team of highly trained scientists follow Good Manufacturing Practices, to ensure the safety and quality of each product–products that have been proven so safe, effective, and free of contaminants that renowned organizations such as U.S. Speedskating, Speed Skating Canada, Biathlon Canada, the elite athletes of the WTA Sony Ericsson Tour and a myriad of other professional athletes worldwide trust their health to USANA.

Athlete Guarantee Program

Trust is a major issue for athletes competing for a place in the Olympics and other high profile athletic competitions. Taking nutritional supplements to help maintain health shouldn't place an athlete at risk for testing positive for a banned substance. Broadly publicized allegations of contaminants in supplements lead many top athletes to wonder if taking supplements will jeopardize their future ability to qualify for competition. In fact, national Olympic committees have written to their athletes warning them of the potential danger of contaminants, encouraging them not to consume any nutritional supplements.

To date, no nutritional supplement company has stepped forward to assume their portion of the liability that a banned substance contamination would create. USANA offers an ironclad solution through its Athlete Guarantee Program. This confident stance in a high stakes venture strengthens our industry-leading position and affirms our commitment to providing "Nutritionals You Can Trust."

USANA is currently reviewing applications for the Athlete Guarantee Program from select members of the Canadian Olympic team who qualify under the terms of the agreement. For consideration the athlete must provide the following:

• Proof of membership on Olympic team
• Proof that the athlete has never tested positive for a banned substance
• Results of most recent test
• Verification of earnings from sport within past 12 months

Upon review and acceptance of the application, USANA will guarantee that, during the term of the agreement, should the athlete test positive for a banned substance included in the WADA list of banned substances as a result of taking USANA® nutritional products, USANA will compensate the athlete with up to two times his or her current annual earnings up to $1 million CAN. USANA will enter into an agreement with the athlete at the Company's discretion. USANA will mail the contract to the athlete with additional product ordering information.

Athlete Sponsorship

USANA has provided industry leading nutritional supplements to some of the most renowned athletes and world-class Olympians on earth. Recognized organizations such as U.S. Speedskating, Speed Skating Canada, Biathlon Canada, Cross Country Canada, and the athletes of the WTA Sony Ericsson Tour have all experienced the remarkable results of using USANA's unrivaled products.

Sony Ericsson WTA Tour
"Up until now, the inability of our players to take vitamins and health supplements without fear of accidentally ingesting a prohibited substance has been a real issue. In USANA, the Tour has found a manufacturer that cannot only meet the Tour's...rigorous anti-doping standards, but one that is also willing to back it up with both athlete and Tour guarantees. This is fantastic news for players, and a critically important step forward in ensuring player health while maintaining the strict anti-doping standards that are necessary to continue to ensure that women's tennis remains a clean sport."

Athletic Advisory Council

The establishment of USANA’s Athletic Advisory Council, composed of top Olympic athletes, world-renowned coaches, and sports science professionals from a variety of disciplines, is dedicated to educating athletes and the public about the health-enhancing properties of nutritional supplements and issues related to banned substances. The addition of this advisory council, which will grow and expand with the company, is another benchmark illustration of the USANA Difference.
