USANA is known as the leading providers of natural and complete health supplements. However, besides from providing the best health supplements for adults, USANA also provides safe and healthy nutritional products for kids which use only the most natural and quality ingredients.
USANA understands that parents want only the best for their kids. This is why USANA only uses safe formulation on their products to ensure that your kids only take the most natural ingredients. For this reason, USANA exerts all efforts to avoid the use of ingredients that may contain animal products or by-products.
However, small amounts of gelatin are still associated with some of the main ingredients used in making USANA products such as the beta-carotene, lutein, and vitamin D. This is because these small amounts of gelatin are used by primary manufactures of USANA’s raw ingredients for their products. These gelatins are necessary for making and drying tablets and important for giving long-term stability of USANA products. These gelatins are used for CoQuinone 30, E-Prime, Palmetto Plus, and BiOmega gel caps which are derived from beef and or pork.
However, USANA is still continually researching for effective methods and ways to improve their Nutritional products. If in the near future those vegetable-based capsules achieve better results than animal products or by – products, USANA health sciences may most likely consider using vegetable – based capsules for their Nutritional product line.
Unfortunately, currently there is no reasonable or reliable alternative to replace the gelatin used in USANA’s gel cap products as of the mean time. USANA is also aware that there are companies that use vegetable-derived gel caps for their products but the technology is still not yet sufficient to maintain high standard, quality and stable nutritional products that USNANA produces. In addition, gelatin used in making USANA products are certified to be BSE-free, assuring you that every USANA products that you use is safe and healthy.
