USANA Products - What are Optimizers?
USANA understands that each of us has a unique health profile and thus unique nutritional needs. For this reason, we have created the USANA Optimizers, an extensive selection of state-of-the-art nutritional products that enable you to customise our nutritional program to meet your individual needs.
The USANA Optimizers product range:
Part of a lifelong program of good nutrition is recognising that we all have different nutritional needs, and that our individual needs change as we move from one stage of life to the next. For each one of us, a unique combination of age, sex, lifestyle, and other considerations demands a nutritional program that is both flexible and customise. USANA's line of Nutritionals comprises both the Essentials and the Optimizers to successfully meet this challenge. The Essentials products provide the foundation of USANA's nutritional system. The Optimizers allow you to customise that nutritional system for your individual needs. By using the following two-step process, you can create a complete nutritional program to fit those needs.Active Calcium Plus™
Active Calcium Plus™
Active Calcium Plus™ was carefully formulated to enable its ingredients to work together to promote strong bones and connective tissue.
In New Zealand, osteoporosis affects one in two women and one in three men over the age of 60, which accounts for hundreds of thousands of broken bones annually. Although signs of osteoporosis usually don't occur until the later years of life, getting the proper amount of calcium in your diet now may help prevent calcium deficiency later. Supplementation of calcium is one of the keys to helping prevent osteoporosis and increasing quality of life. Active Calcium Plus™ is ideal for all ages, from adolescents to seniors. It is formulated with a 2:1 calcium-to-magnesium ratio, and manufactured to B.P. guidelines for guaranteed purity and potency.
- More Calcium, Magnesium and Vitamin D per tablet
- Only 4 tablets per day
- Contains a balanced formula of calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D
- Provides complete nutritional support to help maximise bone development and maintenance throughout all stages of life

Active Calcium™ Chewable
Active Calcium™ Chewable was carefully formulated to enable its ingredients to work together to promote strong bones and connective tissue.
In New Zealand, osteoporosis affects one in two women and one in three men over the age of 60, which accounts for hundreds of thousands of broken bones annually. Although signs of osteoporosis usually don't occur until the later years of life, getting the proper amount of calcium in your diet now may help prevent calcium deficiency later. Supplementation of calcium is one of the keys to helping prevent osteoporosis and increasing quality of life. USANA's Active Calcium™ Chewable offers an effective way to increase the amount of calcium in everyone's diet.
Active Calcium™ Chewable is formulated with the same amount of calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D as our Active Calcium tablet, making it a great way to increase dietary calcium for young and old alike. However, because this product is chewable, it appeals to young people who might not otherwise consider supplementing their diet with calcium. With young people drinking less milk and consuming more soft drinks that leach calcium from young, growing bones, Active Calcium™ Chewable is an easy, appealing way to add more calcium to a healthy diet and can help build stronger bones.

- Provides comprehensive nutritional support to help maximise bone development and maintenance throughout all stages of life

CoQuinone™
The energy that every cell needs to function is produced through a complex process in the mitochondria, an organelle within the cell often called the cellular powerhouse. Cells store energy in a molecule called adenosine-5-triphosphate or ATP. CoQ10 is an essential part of the electron transport chain used to make ATP which is synthesised and used by every cell in the body. CoQuinone™ contains advanced levels of CoQ10. Cells with the highest energy demands, such as in the heart, contain the highest levels of CoQ10. CoQ10 has been studied for years in the U.S., Europe, and Japan for its role in producing cellular energy and re-energising the heart and other muscles.

Vitamin D
It has been common knowledge that vitamin D plays an important role in helping the body to absorb calcium and bone mineralisation. Howerever accumulating scientific evidence is proving that vitamin D provides more health benefits than simply bone health. Evidence is emerging that there is wide spread vitamin D deficiency in the broader population. In New Zealand at least 40% of all children and adults have low vitamin D levels1 leaving a gap in vitamin D nutrition for those with insufficient sun exposure.
Limited dietary sources of vitamin D and insufficient sun exposure can contribute to vitamin D deficiences. Therefore vitamin D supplementation provides a viable option to ensure optimal dietry intake.
