SALT LAKE CITY, May 18, 2017 -- Years of hard work and dedication to creating the best nutritional products on the market has placed USANA at the forefront of the health and wellness industry. Because of USANA's quality supplements and commitment to being a top employer in the state of Utah, the company was recently awarded six medals at the 2017 Best of State Awards. This adds to USANA's already impressive list of accolades in the categories of personal care, beverage, dietary supplements, manufacturing and employer.

"We are delighted to have our efforts recognized year after year by such a prestigious, local awards organization like Best of State," said USANA's chief marketing and communication officer, Dan Macuga. "To have our flagship CellSentials supplement win a Best of State award in its first year of eligibility is quite impressive. This industry-leading product features our innovative InCelligence Technology™ with its ability to nourish, protect, and renew the cells-something that can't be found anywhere else on the market."

The Best of State Awards were created in 2003 to recognize outstanding individuals, organizations and businesses in Utah. Best of State candidates are evaluated by a panel of 100 judges based on three criteria: achievement in the field of endeavor; innovation or creativity in approaches, techniques, methods or processes; and contribution to improving the quality of life in Utah.

USANA currently sells its award-winning products in 20 international markets and sponsors more than 3,000 elite and professional athletes worldwide.
