SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 25, 2007--USANA Health Sciences Inc. (NASDAQ:USNA) announced today that a record number of Associates and guests from each of its 13 international markets attended its 15th annual international convention held in Salt Lake City, Utah, August 22 through August 25.
USANA's annual convention is an opportunity for its independent Associates to attend business and health education seminars while also being recognized for their achievements. This year marks USANA's 15th year of manufacturing high quality, science-based nutritional, personal-care, and weight-management products. As part of the celebration, USANA hosted a concert and fireworks show featuring REO Speedwagon, Juice Newton, and Collin Raye, as well as a golf tournament and 5K run/walk, which helped raise more than $100,000 for international charity Children's Hunger Fund.
At its Thursday morning general session, USANA introduced MyHealthPak, a new, fully customizable packaging system for its supplement products. USANA customers now have the ability to create their own personalized selection of USANA's line of nutritional supplements in daily AM and PM packs, making it convenient to get the nutrition they need every day.
"I believe the strong attendance at our convention this year is a reflection of our continued growth and the true commitment our Associates have to this company," USANA President Dave Wentz said. "I am very excited about the launch of our customized MyHealthPak. This is a product concept I have been looking forward to implementing for many years. It is not only a simple way for customers to get an individualized pack of unique supplements in one convenient package, but it reduces the need for plastic bottles, which is an important part of our commitment to the environment through the USANA Green program."
In addition to the customized MyHealthPak, USANA also announced the following new and enhanced products:
- a reformulation of its BiOmega fish-oil supplement
