I've never tried them but I know someone who sells it. You thinking about switching to USANA?

My sister and her husband started selling USANA. They're very expensive due to the marketing system behind them (some version of multilevel). They cost far more than they need to, so they're sold in glossy packaging as the 'best quality'. That's rubbish - vitamins are vitamins. If you are concerned about your health and want to invest in it long-term, you'd be better off spending less money on good quality food, getting your vitamins and minerals from there.
USANA reps also encourage you to take way more than your body needs. Your body literally needs no more than the RDI of each, and you can get that from fresh veges, fruit, meat or nuts/legumes. I know a guy who had kidney stones because he took a lot of supplements - it's an extreme example because he opened around thirty different vitamin/mineral/herb containers every morning and basically breakfasted on them, but he didn't seem to take long from the point at which he just took a few supplements every day to taking far more than his body could cope with.
If you don't believe me, at your next trip to a doctor, get their opinion on vitamin supplements.

A girl in my Yoga class started taking the products and she felt much better, and is now selling them. She gave me a newsletter to read all about the company, etc. But I recognized it as a sophisticated form of MLM. Anyway, if I had bad health problems, maybe I would consider using them. But OTOH, I get a lot of good information from a book called Back To Eden by Jethro Kloss, who was an herbalist way back in the early 1900's. It's a great book and I refer to it a lot.
