SALT LAKE CITY, Oct 19, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
USNA | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- USANA
Health Sciences (NASDAQ: USNA | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) today launched Probiotic Plus, a new
probiotic food supplement. Probiotics help replenish beneficial bacteria
in the intestinal tract, which can aid good digestion and enhance immune
function. This new product will be available in the United States,
Canada, Australia/New Zealand and six other USANA markets.

"We are thrilled to be able to introduce Probiotic Plus, as digestive
health and immune function lie at the core of overall health and well
being," said Dr. Tim Wood, USANA's Executive Vice President of Research
and Development. "Probiotics have been one of our key research goals for
years. Probiotic Plus sets the standard for shelf life and convenience
and it contains a combination of the two most researched probiotic
strains known. This product will bring probiotics to a new level."

Probiotic Plus contains a proprietary blend of specific strains of
probiotic bacteria that are clinically proven to survive the harsh,
acidic environment of the stomach. Probiotic Plus is packaged in an
easy-to-carry stick pack and can be taken alone or added to cold
beverages or foods every one or two days to help maintain digestive
health and immune function. Each stick pack is filled with 12 billion
viable bacteria in a 50/50 mixture of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG, LGG(R)
and Bifidobacterium BB-12(R). These strains of bacteria survive passage
through the stomach exceptionally well and colonize the intestines
effectively.
