Do you have any peer reviewed clinical studies on your product? I am taking a product that has 8 peer reviewed studies that is proven to reduce the body's oxidative stress 40-70% in the first 30 days.
@polloloco3 Thank you for your comment. We understand there is more going on in the body than what is going on in this glass of water and we also understand that apple cells are different than Human cells. We wanted to show that there is a big difference between supplements and we feel this was a great way through a simple test how to show it. Ultimately if you are going to trust your body to a supplement why not one that has been tested over and over to be the best on the market? Thanks!
It's best to source your vitamins from a wide variety of foods. You're better off spending that extra $50-80 a month on eating better food. All this video demonstrates is that USANA is better at preserving an apple than other brands.
@Dangure Thank you for your comment. We could not agree with you more, having access to better foods is the way to go although unfortunately with the current farming practices in use (including pesticides/chemicals and lack of crop rotation) the research we have seen proves that the nutritional value previously maintained is no longer in these 'good' foods. Though we feel that organic foods are getting better we feel to be complete you still need a good multi-vitamin so why not choose the best
I've been using this product for about a year and I love it! I used to have severe allergies ever since I was a kid. It wasn't just on high pollen days, but ALL THE TIME. It was very frustrating because I couldn't get a good nights sleep. I would take Claritin but sometimes it didn't work. I've been taking Centrum my whole life, but I was recommended Usana from a friend so I tried it for two weeks, and my daily allergies were gone :) I only had allergies about three random days so far this ye
Belly rebellion, you're awesome! way to step on those narrow-minded sarcastic jerks! oh ok , keeping it clean, I have tried and used Usana essentials and it worked wonders for me and my family! thank you very much, also this is a very helpful video, as the apples closely represent the human cell in vitro and this is how an average to great mind can understand the process while small minds will compare stuff like formaldehyde, let them drink formaldehyde if they want, LOL but seriously thanks!
Antioxidants come from vitamins. So in essence a multi-vitamin = antioxidants. Regardless of how they name the products they are the same thing. USANA's mega-antioxidant is a multi vitamin its just alot more potent compared to the others.
The antioxidant in Usana Mega Antioxidant is vitamin C, which is a common preservative known as Ascorbic acid. You may have seen this on labels for juices and other foods. In general, I don't think $120 for a bottle of vitamin C makes sense, do you?
@kooljosh100 Thank you for watching our video, Vitamin C is not the only ingredient in this multi-vitamin and can be found in a more pure form here than in most juices without the added sugar. One bottle of Mega Antioxidant is $40 which can be more than most other multi-vitamins although like everything else you get what you pay for when it comes to protection from oxidated stress present in our daily lives. Do you want to treat your body like a BMW/Lexus or a Yugo?
@BellyRebellion No, the vitamin C is the same in this product as other vitamin products, only the quantity is different. If you compare the nutritional labeling between the vitamins in the video, the Usana product has about 10x the ascorbic acid (vitamin-C) than the others, which explains how well it's preserved.
@userdude999 That doesn't change the fact that this video is deceptive and tries to get you to think they are all the same type of supplement. An antioxidant slows down oxidation which causes rotting and I'm pretty sure that EVERYONE knows how fast an apple will turn brown and start oxidizing if cut/skinned. You can't compare antioxidants to multivitamins.That's like comparing apples to oranges. They''re two completely different things and they serve two completely different purposes.
@xkb360x Thank you for your comment, this is not only USANA's multi-vitamin but also the other brands we selected multi-vitamin's. Regarding the support of oxidated stress - baed upon the contents of each of these vitamins they are all supposed to support oxidated stress or the browning of an apple although there is obviously a superior product being compared to the others.
@BellyRebellion The other products are NOT antioxidants. Can you read? The labels clearly identify them as multivitamins where as the USANA product is labeled "mega antioxidant".
@BellyRebellion What about the fact that you are comparing Apple cells to Human cells? You say "don't trust your body to just any nutritional supplement". Also what about the fact that these "supplements" also have to undergo alimentary canal environments, pH, ionization, and dissolution just to name a few. Hard to compare those conditions to a glass of water.
Wow, the stupidity. Both Complete Man the USANA advertise strong concentration of anti-oxidants. The others are meant as multivitamins. This comparison makes no sense. Also, how does oxidation of an apple have any reflection on how well it works on a human. If I put an apple in formaldehyde for a year, it will still look fresh. Would you like to take some formaldehyde?
@grazemyanatomy We appreciate you watching our video and apologize if you thought it was 'stupid'. Both the Complete Man and USANA advertise anti-oxidant protection as they are their company’s best multivitamins when Centrum also advertises that they are ‘complete from A to Zinc’. Your complaint might be better directed with the advertisers who steer you wrong in thinking that the supplement they are advertising provides optimal protection against cellular damage.
continued... We do not disagree that an apple cell is not a human cell although they are both cells exposed to oxygen in an effort to determine how they perform against oxidative stress with the support of a nutritional supplement. In our opinion (with backing from Nutrisearch’s Comparative Guide to Nutritional Supplements) USANA’s nutritional supplements provide great protection against cellular damage from free radicals considering formaldehyde is toxic to a living organism.
@grazemyanatomy - But - would you eat formaldehyde? And what is the purpose of taking a multivitamin without sufficient antioxidants? The purpose of this test is to show most multivitamins contain little to no antioxidants. If you’re a fan of guacamole dip like we are here in New Mexico, then surely you know the recipe calls for a squirt of fresh lemon juice to keep it from oxidizing (turning brown). You're better off drinking lemon juice every morning as opposed to wasting your cash on Centrum!
So what is your personal story? What got you into Usana?
