USANA’s Mega Antioxidant is now formulated with maximum strength vitamin D, which is necessary for normal bone mineralization and growth. Recent reports show that populations around the world are suffering from vitamin D deficiency. The problem is widespread and increasing, with potentially severe repercussions not only for bone fracture rates but also overall health.
Also, USANA’s AO Booster in the HealthPak 100 now provides the antioxidant resveratrol in quantities 15 times larger than its previous formulation, to help prevent free radical damage and complement the activities of many of the other phytonutrients found in USANA supplements.
OPTIMUM Health
Upgraded HealthPak 100 (56 packets/carton) Each Packet: 2 Mega Antioxidant, 2 MultiMineral, 1 Active Calcium Plus, 1 AO Booster
If you are looking for one product that contains everything you need to help maintain good health, then the HealthPak 100 is for you. This powerful formulation includes the exact amount of the Essentials and some powerful Optimizers including Active Calcium Plus ™, and the new AO Booster. The HealthPak 100 was formulated to help maintain normal, healthy bones and joints, healthy eyes, and to provide relief of muscular aches and pains. It comes in two little packs for each day for on-the-go convenience.
As you study the medical literature, you begin to realize that there are several different kinds of free radicals that are found in various parts of the body. When you study vitamin E, which is probably the best antioxidant within the cell wall, you will generally see a definite health benefit from taking this nutrient. However, when you see a study that combines vitamin C with vitamin E, you will usually discover that the participants receive even a better health benefit. It becomes very obvious that you want to take a variety of antioxidants that will work in various parts of the body and against different free radicals. It also becomes obvious that these antioxidants need the supporting minerals and B cofactors to perform at their optimal level.
When you provide all of these nutrients to the cells at their optimal levels via supplementation, the cell can decide what it needs and does not need. Over time (usually 6 to 12 months), the body is able to totally replace any deficiencies and bring all the other supporting nutrients up to optimal levels. This will not only optimize the body’s natural antioxidant defense system, but it will also create the synergy that is so critical in preventing oxidative stress
HealthPak 100 is laboratory tested, quality guaranteed. Meets British Pharmacopoeia (BP) specifications for potency, uniformity and disintegration where applicable. Vitamin supplements should not replace a balanced diet.
FAQ’s for HealthPak Upgrade
Why did Usana change the HealthPak 100?
Nutritional science is a very fast growing and exciting field of research. As new research is published, adjustments in products are often necessary to keep current. Formulations, ingredients, technologies and labels are periodically updated and improved to account for new research, customer feedback, and changes in government regulations. We are also keenly aware that regardless of the quality, the products must also be easy to use and convenient. The new formulations have been adjusted to better represent current nutritional research and reduced in size to improve convenience.
The HealthPak 100 now provides uniform AM/ PM packets. Each Packet contains two (2) Mega Antioxidant tablets, two (2) MultiMineral tablets, one (1) A/O booster, and one (1) Active Calcium tablet per packet.
What are the directions for taking the new HealthPak 100?
Take one packet in the morning and one packet in the evening, preferably with meals.
Why do I have to take four (4) Mega Antioxidants and four (4) MultiMineral tablets a day instead of three (3)?
In order to make the tablets easier to swallow, the tablet sized deceased slightly. However, because the tablets are now smaller, the nutrient content per tablet also decreased, making it necessary to increase the amount of tablets required.
Will I notice any difference when I take the new HealthPak 100 compared to the old HealthPak 100?
The new HealthPak 100 provides an overall improvement in the nutritional content. However, there should be no noticeable difference in the way that you feel when you take the new HealthPak 100 formulation as compared to the old formulation.
Can I take new HealthPak 100 with my current medications?
Unfortunately, we are unable to answer any questions concerning your medications. Please check with your pharmacist, physician, or other health care professional.
Are there any precautions I should be aware of before I start taking the new HealthPak 100?
When taking the USANA nutritional supplements, it is always important to take them with food, preferably a complete meal. Food buffers the stomach reducing the chance of G.I. upset, and enhances the body's ability to absorb certain nutrients. It is also very important to keep the body hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids every day. Fluids also help to facilitate the distribution of nutrients throughout the cells in your body.
Are there any artificial colours or preservatives used in the HealthPak 100?
The HealthPak 100 does not contain any artificial colours or preservatives.
When is the "best time" to take the HealthPak 100 packets?
It is always best to take the packets with a complete meal.
Does the new HealthPak 100 contain gluten?
The tablets do not contain gluten.
Why did the amount of vitamin D increase?
Numerous research studies have been published within the last few years indicating that vitamin D deficiency is more widespread than previously thought. In addition, new research has suggested that to overcome these deficiencies and problems associated with a lack of vitamin D, recommended intakes should be increased significantly. The new level of 800 IU (600 IU from the Mega Antioxidant tablets and 200 IU from the Active Calcium tablets) included in the HealthPak 100 will help to better establish and maintain healthy levels of vitamin D when added to typical dietary intakes and sunlight. Adequate Vitamin D is very important in the prevention of many chronic health problems.
Why did the amount of vitamin B12 increase?
Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin), in combination with B vitamins folic acid and vitamin B6, have been shown to be important nutrients in the maintenance of normal homocysteine levels. Abnormal homocysteine levels are considered to be a risk factor for heart disease. Vitamin B12 requires a protein secreted by the stomach for proper absorption and utilisation. However, due to increased intakes of certain medications (ie. antacids, acid blockers), an increasingly elderly population and other factors, actual requirements for vitamin B12 may be higher for many people than can be achieved through diet and typical supplement dosages. Since vitamin B12 is virtually non-toxic at any level, the amount provided was increased substantially to account for a greater percentage of the typical population who may not be getting enough.
Why did the amount of copper decrease?
The copper level was decreased from 3 mg per day to 2 mg per day. This was done mainly to provide a better ratio to the existing level of zinc, and to be more in line with newer dietary recommendations.
Is the AO Booster still included in the HealthPak 100?
The HealthPak 100 still contains an AO Booster, but instead of comprising one tablet in the PM packet, it is now divided equally between two packets. The AO Booster contains a blend of beneficial bioflavonoids including turmeric extract, rosemary extract, resveratrol, green-tea extract and the full daily dose of the grape seed extract found in one Proflavanol® 90 tablet. Each tablet of A/O Booster also contains alpha-lipoic acid and soy isoflavones for additional antioxidant protection.
Why did the amount of Vitamin E decrease in the HealthPak 100?
The HealthPak 100 now provides both D-alpha tocopherol and mixed tocopherols to provide a broad spectrum of antioxidant support. The overall content of Vitamin E has decreased in the HealthPak 100 because it is no longer included in the A/O Booster.
What are Cinnamon and Pomegranate Extracts and why were they added to the Bioflavonoid complex?
Bioflavonoids are a diverse group of naturally occurring plant compounds that exhibit a host of biological activities, most notably for their powerful antioxidant properties that complement, extend, and synergise the antioxidant activities of other nutrients making them an important nutritional component in the HealthPak 100.
Pomegranates are a good source of antioxidants. The type of antioxidant in pomegranate is somewhat different than the compounds already in the complex, and as such adds to the biodiversity of the complex.
Cinnamon extract contains bioflavonoids called proanthocyanidins that are very similar to the proanthocyanidins from grape seed. Again this is a new type of antioxidant in the complex. Cinnamon has been studied for its effect on increasing insulin sensitivity and help in controlling blood sugar levels.
Why did the amount of alpha-lipoic acid increase?
The amount of alpha-lipoic acid in the Mega Antioxidant tablets has remained at 5 mg per tablet. Because the daily dosage has increased to 4 tablets per day, the amount of alpha-lipoic acid has increased by 5 mg. In addition, 60 mg of alpha-lipoic has been added to the daily dosage of the A/O Booster.
Why are you using a mixture of calcium carbonate and calcium citrate?
Calcium carbonate contains more calcium by weight than calcium citrate; by adding calcium carbonate to the formula we were able to make the tablets smaller while still keeping the same amount of elemental calcium. The same mixture has been used in Usana's Active Calcium formula for several years.
What happened to the Proflavanol® 90 tablet?
The Proflavanol® 90 tablet has been combined with the A/O Booster to provide two identical tablets. Each packet now contains one (1) AO Booster tablet.
