MEDICAL ADVISORY BOARD

USANA's Medical Advisory Board is made up of six healthcare professionals, including five doctors and one health scientist. All were selected because they have exceptional expertise in nutritional medicine and preventive nutrition. All five of the doctors use nutritional intervention and nutritional supplementation in their clinical practices. They all provide USANA with valuable insights into product applications and efficacy, as well as feedback on how the products work, how well they work, and how best to promote human health. USANA works with Medical Advisory Board members on a regular basis to review formulas and get suggestions for improvements.

USANA's Medical Advisory Board members are:
