New health supplements for sleep deprivation and no-allergy painkiller alternative

MANILA, Philippines - USANA Health Sciences (NYSE: USNA), a global manufacturer of nutritional, high-quality supplements and personal care products, has launched 2 new products in the country – Pure Rest and Vegetarian Procosa.

Pure Rest offers sleep-deprived individuals an effective food supplement that is sure to induce a good night's rest, the natural way. It is a fast-acting melatonin supplement, which promotes the body's natural sleep and wake cycles by supporting the natural increase of melatonin production at night. Melatonin, a naturally occurring hormone synthesized in the brain, is responsible for regulating the body's normal sleep and wake cycles.

Pure Rest is a great-tasting orange-flavored dissolvable tablet that contains 2 mg of melatonin. When taken at bedtime, it supports the body's natural circadian rhythms and has been clinically proven to help promote better quality of sleep. Each tablet can be easily broken in half to adjust the dosage, according to individual need.

USANA Philippines General Manager Aurora "Duday" Gaston strictly clarifies, however that Pure Rest is not a sleeping pill or an over-the-counter herbal supplement such as those found in local pharmacies.

"We want to clearly put that information out there, to prevent any public misconception in using our product," she says.

USANA Executive Director of Product Development and Technologies Dr. John Cuomo, Ph.D., says, "Melatonin supplementation becomes especially important as we age, because daily melatonin production cycles stimulate immune cell synthesis and function, a process that naturally declines as we get older. Pure Rest is not a sleeping pill or a drug; therefore, it is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease."

Pure Rest is approved by the Food and Drug Administration in the United States and in the Philippines.

Dr. Cuomo says, "It is manufactured to the same high quality standards and carries the same potency guarantee as all tabulated products. So consumers can feel confident that Pure Rest is safe and effective."

Along with Pure Rest also comes Vegetarian Procosa, which is a hybrid re-formulation of the original Procosa for individuals who suffer allergic reactions to regular, non-vegetarian tablets. Just like its predecesor, Vegetarian Procosa also serves as a delivery mechanism of a clinically-proven dose of Glucosamine to maintain healthy cartilages. As such, it helps protect and slow down the deterioration of cartilages and retain joint mobility.

By way of continuing education about this and its other available products in the country, USANA Philippines brought together its Independent Associates on May 1, 2013 for a big distributors' event in Quezon City. These Independent Associates exclusively distribute USANA products in the country.

To date, USANA Philippines has signed up more than 100,000 distributors in only four short years. Of these, over 30,000 are in active status.

Availability and Pricing

The SRP for Pure Rest is P1,120 for a bottle of 56 tablets while Vegetarian Procosa will be sold at an SRP of P2,000 for a bottle of 84 tablets.

Pure Rest and Procosa are now available in the market through USANA Distributors.
