Third Party Research & Recommendation

In Malaysia there are many nutritional supplements that are being sold in the market currently.  This is a fact as you can see tonnes of vitamins are sold on the shelves of pharmacies.  But how do you really choose your supplement?
  • By price? 
  • By promotion of "Buy 2 Free 1" ? 
  • By brand name? 
  • Or by quality? 
But how do we know about the quality of the supplements that are on the shelves?  Well fortunately for everyone there is a book that actually helps review the various multi-vitamins that are in the various different markets, like in the USA and Canada as well as Australia.  The book is is titled "Nutrisearch Comparative Guide to Nutritional Supplements" and it reviews 1500 products all over the USA and Canada.  There is also an Australian version which reviews 500 products all over Australia.  Here is a glimpse of the book~!



This book is available at any major bookstores in Malaysia.  The Australian version is not available here as it is only available in Australia.  But worry not, I shall get my hands on a copy so that you can take a look at its comparisons.

Of course the Essentials has been chosen as the Editor's Choice in the latest version which is the Consumer Edition. 

Please contact me to have a read through of the book and see how significant this research is in terms of nutritional supplements.  My details are located at the right side bar and again, please do not hesitate to inquire or ask me anything you want to know.  I will answer with the best of my abilities.

Testimonials

Hello, these are testimonials that I had recorded myself as well as found from others who are into the business like me.  Of course these testimonials are regarding the products.



Below are the videos that I found on YouTube from another distributor like myself. Credits to Azmi Katiman / jemitube.  



Testimonial about how his father's migraine improved and how his pimples clears up.




Testimonial regarding mother recovering from stroke to gardening her own garden.




Testimonial regarding his own improvement on gout and how his mother's diabetic condition improved when the blood sugar level of 14 drop to 7.7.




Testimonial about how his wife's condition improved after being in coma during her pregnancy and how he had reduced his smoking from 3 packets to 1 packet after diligently taking the USANA products day after day.




Testimonial regarding her own hyper-thyroid condition improved from the reading of 95 to 22.




Testimonial about how he slowly gained weight and how he got onto the RESET Program with his experience with it.  He also talks how the Essentials helped reduce the hunger effect during the course of the program. He lost a weight of15kg in the period of 4 weeks from 100kg to 85kg.






Testimonial regarding her own child who suffered from asthma and how he was weak and un-energetic.  Her child's condition improved after taking the supplements on a scheduled regimen, like medicine. 




Testimonial regarding diabetes.




Testimonial regarding how bad her migraine was and how it had affected her.  Her condition improved after a week. She also suffered from weak bladder and constantly had to go to toilet and this had also improved after taking USANA Essentials.




Testimonial how he was dependent on pain killers for his ailment and says that he has tried a lot of different medicine and products until he found USANA.  Listen to him.




Testimonial about his own ailment and ailments of others around him.



This are the video testimonials that I had collected from youtube and all of these are made possible with thanks to Azmi Katiman / jemitube.



Next are testimonials which are from another distributor such as myself whom I met online.  I also got the opportunity to meet up with her.  She is a nice person who has allowed me to use her testimonials.  So lets take a look at the her testimonials and the testimonials she received from her consumers as well as her downlines. 


This is her own testimonial which can be found at http://www.mrmrsimran.com/.








  • She had lost 6kg in one and a half months time.
  • Her skin complexion improved for the better and she saw less pimples.
  • Her husband used to suffer from sinus (or in BM it is called resdung), acne and mouth ulcer.  His health and skin condition improved with reduced acne problem.  Her husband's mouth ulcer is now a forgotten history in the chapters of their life. 
  • She was suffering from severe joint pains after giving birth to her lovely son, Darwis Ichiro~!  As she had mentioned on her blog, it was extremely painful for her to move her legs, bend her knee, straighten her fingers and much more.  She was back to normal after taking USANA's Procosa II which are meant for joint problems.

The following are the feedback she had received from her customers regarding the USANA products that she had sold to them. (No changes were made as it directly came from http://www.mrmrsimran.com/usana-health-sciences/testimonial/)

I experienced irregular period with a very minimal flow since I got married about 2++ years ago. Doc suspects me having PCOS, due to the imbalance hormones inside my body. And I think my stressfull work and hectic life also contributing to this.
I started with USANA since 01 August 2009, 2 tablets for each AO Pro and Chelated Minerals and a tablet of Provflavanol everyday. I had my period about two weeks later and guess what, the flow that was very minimal before had increased. Still minimal, but more than before. Alhamdulillah, that was a good sign.
I continue with USANA until my 2nd period cycle. By the time, I’d placed my second order of USANA Essentials. This time I increase to 4 tablets per day (2 morning and 2 night) and 3 tablets for Provflavanol (2 morning and 1 night). For the 2nd cycle, the flow is getting heavier. Still not heavy enough, but for me it’s good. Well, even my progress it quite slow than others, at least for me it works, dengan izin Allah. Alhamdulillah.
Now I will continue consuming USANA and hopefully things will get better as before. Pray for me. Arifa via blog [she’s taking essentials and proflavanol]

So these are some of the few strong testimonials she had received from her customers. Of course USANA has helped many others in terms of their health, but of course USANA also provides a business opportunity which you can contact me get more details about.



But now we shall take a look at some of the testimonials that I had the opportunity of capturing during my stint in USANA on HD using my camera, the Panasonic Lumix Z07. Unfortunately I am facing difficulty editing the videos as the videos are very large in size due to its HD (High Definition) quality.



Moving onto a major testimonial that was even published in one of the MAJOR Malay magazine NONA, the sister to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin consumes USANA products as well as providing it to her family for their well being.  Below are the cut out from the NONA magazine which was from the month of August 2007.





Nona August 2007 issue.

Again Tengku Norhana Fatihah.

Now at the bottom here we have a newspaper article cutting that talks about people's testimonial regarding the products.
