MORE THAN A MULTIVITAMIN
HealthPak 100 was designed to provide an optimal balance of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals to support the function of various tissues and organ systems in the body and to help retain a healthy body.*

HEALTHY HEART
HealthPak 100 contains a full complement of B vitamins to help retain healthy homocysteine levels and an arsenal of antioxidants to support a healthy
cardiovascular system.1* A connection between vitamin E and the maintenance of healthy heart function has been confirmed by numerous studies.2,3*

HEALTHY BONES & JOINTS

With calcium, vitamin C, manganese, magnesium, vitamin D, vitamin K, and silicon,
this formula offers support for healthy bones and joints.4*

HEALTHY EYES
HealthPak 100 contains beta-carotene, vitamin C, zinc, lutein, and bilberry for maintenance of healthy vision.5*

HEALTHY LUNGS
The antioxidants vitamin C and vitamin E, combined with carotenoids, have been shown to help support healthy pulmonary and respiratory function.6,7*

Vitamin C, considered the master antioxidant, plays a vital role in protecting cells and tissues from damaging oxidation. Numerous studies have shown that vitamin C plays an important role in retaining sound cardiovascular function.8,9*

Vitamin E is a family of essential fat-soluble nutrients (tocopherols) that act as powerful antioxidants. HealthPak 100 contains both d-alpha tocopherol and mixed tocopherols to provide a broad spectrum of antioxidant support.*

COMPLETE VITAMIN B COMPLEX
HealthPak 100 contains carefully proportioned B-complex vitamins, which are fundamental to energy production, metabolism, growth, and maintenance of normal homocysteine levels, provided they are healthy to begin with.*

A daily dose of HealthPak 100 contains 1,000 µg of folic acid to reduce the risk of having a pregnancy affected with neural tube defects such as spina bifida.10 Folic acid is also essential for production of red blood cells, synthesis of DNA,
tissue growth, and cell function.11

Vitamin B12 is necessary for the health of nerve cells, red blood cells, and DNA, the genetic material in all cells.12 It has been generally accepted that older adults are at a greater risk of developing a vitamin B12 deficiency than younger adults. However, new research suggests that the prevalence of vitamin B12 deficiency in young adults may be greater than previously thought, and those who do not take a supplement
containing vitamin B12 are twice as likely to be vitamin B12 deficient as supplement users, regardless of age group.13

Mega Antioxidant supplies advanced levels of vitamin B12 at 200µg in one daily dose.

EXCLUSIVE 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 synergize the antioxidant activities of certain other vitamins, making them an important nutritional component in the body’s defenses against freeradical damage.14,15 USANA’s exclusive bioflavonoid complex provides a broad range of bioflavonoids including rutin; quercetin; hesperidin; green-tea, bilberry, pomegranate, and cinnamon extracts. Grape-seed proanthocyanidins provide
protective antioxidant effects, important cardiovascular health benefits, and beneficial effects on the circulatory system.16-18*

Olivol® - the heart of the olive®
Olivol®, rich in olive polyphenols, provides unique antioxidant benefits that are believed to fight against the toxic effects of cell-damaging free radicals to reduce oxidative stress. The polyphenolic antioxidants found in olives are not present in other common dietary sources. They are structurally distinct from the bioflavonoids and other antioxidants found in fruits and vegetables.19

AO BOOSTER
The AO Booster, available exclusively in HealthPak 100, contains a blend of beneficial bioflavonoids such as turmeric extract, rosemary extract, resveratrol, green-tea extract, and a full daily dose of the grape-seed extract found in Proflavanol® 90. Each AO Booster also contains alphalipoic acid for additional antioxidant protection.
