Kita bandingkan pula dengan skor yang didapati oleh produk makanan kesihatan popular yang lain di dalam buku ini:

Penerangan: Graf berwarna kuning menunjukkan kehadiran toksin. Kalau graf kuning tu tinggi sehingga berwarna merah, maka kandungan toksinnya teramat tinggi! Bagaimana dengan produk makanan kesihatan yang anda sedang gunakan pula?

BIOMEGA III PLUS™

WHY BIOMEGA III PLUS™?

In spite of clear benefits, health authorities have warned us to limit our intake of certain species of fish due to concern about potential contaminants. USANA’s BiOmega III Plus™ is virtually free of contaminants, which are eliminated through a double-molecular distillation process that ensures purity. Through this process, heavy metals, PCBs, pesticides, and organic residues are effectively eliminated. Also free of transfatty acids, each capsule contains 2 mg of mixed natural tocopherols to minimise oxidation of the omega-3 fatty acids and maintain product quality during storage. In short, BiOmega III Plus™ is one of the purest, highest quality products available on the market today. Supplementation with BiOmega III Plus™ is an excellent way to ensure that your diet includes a concentrated balance of safe, healthful EPA and DHA in two convenient capsules per day. And with added natural lemon oil, it reduces fishy aftertaste.

QDoes BIOMEGA contain trans-fat?

A No. BIOMEGA is free from trans-fatty acids. Moreover, each capsule contains 2 mg of mixed natural tocopherols to minimise the oxidation of the omega-3 fatty acids and maintain product quality during storage.

QDoes BIOMEGA contain vitamin A?
ANo, BIOMEGA does not contain vitamin A. Unless it is added by the manufacturer, only fish oil supplements made from the liver of the fish, such as cod liver oil, contain vitamin A.

QHow do I eliminate the fishy aftertaste associated with fish oil supplements?
AThe vast majority of individuals who take BIOMEGA do not have negative experiences with it. However, BIOMEGA now contains lemon oil to help reduce the fishy aftertaste that some people may find objectionable. We also recommend that you take BIOMEGA with a meal.

QDoes the new BIOMEGA still contain the high concentration of DHA and EPA as before?
A Yes, each capsule of BIOMEGA typically contains twice the amount of DHA and EPA, when compared to the previous formula of Biomega.

QWhy was Vitamin E (as mixed tocopherols) removed from the new BIOMEGA?
A A small amount of mixed tocopherols is generally used as a processing aid to stabilise the fish oil, and continues to be used in the new BIOMEGA. However, as this amount is insignificant in giving any health benefit, and USANA cannot guarantee the exact potency in every capsule, we have decided to remove it from the Active Ingredient listing.

QWhy does BIOMEGA contain lemon oil?
A Many people do not like the “fishy” after-taste that is often associated with fish oil supplements – and are particularly embarrassed by “burp back’s”. Natural lemon oil practically eliminates this “fishy” problem, and may help encourage more people to take BIOMEGA, and increases the compliance rate of those who are on the supplement.

Gentle Daily Cleanser

Gentle Daily Cleanser

Retail: RM85.00
Wholesale: RM70.00

Use this exceptional, soap-free cleanser to wash away surface dirt and impurities without drying your delicate facial skin. A unique formulation of pure-plant extracts deeply cleanses and hydrates the skin, leaving it moist and supple. This refreshing gel is a great way to revive your complexion at the beginning and end of each day.

Description:

Proper cleansing is the foundation of any skin-care regimen, so it is essential to use a cleanser that is effective, yet mild enough for everyday use. GENTLE DAILY CLEANSER is a moisture-rich, non-drying formula that washes away impurities without irritation, helps counteract environmental effects, and supports optimal hydration. The soap-free formula will not disrupt the healthy acid mantle of the skin with excessive pH levels.

Fatty acid-rich sucrose cocoate, yucca extract, and soapwort bark extract cleanse with minimal disruption to the skin while vegetable-based glycerins and PEG-7 glyceryl cocoate reduce surface tension on the skin so impurities are easily rinsed away. Green tea leaf extract soothes as it provides powerful antioxidants to protect the skin. Clary sage extracts draw pores together as soybean protein and aloe hydrate. Skin is deeply nourished by vitamin C, A, and E variants, including Proflavanol-T™ and Proteo-C™.

Directions:

Work this moisture-rich cleansing gel into dry skin in a circular motion over face and neck. Add water and continue cleansing. Rinse thoroughly with warm water. Use in the morning and evening.

At the completion of the cleansing process, skin is prepared for the next step in the ultimate Sensé regimen - toning with HYDRATING TONER.

Refresh and revitalize your skin with this soothing toner. Essential to removing any lingering impurities after cleansing, this moisturizing blend of pure-plant extracts balances your skin's pH and helps combat environmental influences.

Description:

Toning is essential for eliminating the lingering residues that are not always removed by routine cleansing. HYDRATING TONER is a non-drying, revitalising skin tonic that prepares skin to be moisturised, restores pH balance, and helps combat harsh environmental effects. The skin is left tightened, toned, and hydrated.

Polysorbate 20 removes lingering surface impurities and, along with yucca and saponin-based soapwort extract, completes the cleansing process. Tocopherols nourish the skin while Sodium PCA and proline bring powerful moisturising properties. Allantoin soothes the skin and stimulates healthy new tissue growth. Whole-grape extract nourishes the skin with vitamins A, C, and E. Green tea extract brings antioxidant properties.

Directions:
After cleansing, shake toner into hand or saturate a cotton pad, then wipe over face and neck. Use in the morning and evening.

Face every day with radiance as you protect, hydrate, and replenish your skin with this high-performance moisturizer enriched with Regenisomes™. This lightweight, non-greasy formula nourishes while it defends against harsh environmental elements, minimizing their impact and leaving your skin soft and smooth.

Description:
Cumulative exposure to the sun can contribute to lines, wrinkles, and a dull complexion. DAYTIME PROTECTIVE EMULSION is a gentle daily moisturiser that contains sunscreen to help protect skin from the full spectrum of harmful UVA and UVB rays while providing intense hydration.

DAYTIME PROTECTIVE EMULSION contains Regenisomes™, an advanced complex that quickly restores the skin's appearance after sun exposure by supporting the skin's natural cell renewal process.

Night Renewal

Night Renewal

Retail: RM173.00

Wholesale: RM145.00

Wake up to younger looking, rejuvenated skin. This nutrient-rich, hydrating créme works overnight, while your skin is more receptive to moisture, to renew your skin after the day's exposure to the environment. Formulated with Regenisomes™, DSR™ technology, and firming botanicals, this restorative emulsion instantly boosts moisture levels and stimulates cell growth for a healthy, luminous complexion.

Description:
The body has an internal clock, called the circadian system, that functions according to its exposure to light and dark, and synchronises the body's activities accordingly. During deep sleep, the body goes to work refilling depleted stores of energy and undoing the damage of daily stress. This presents an ideal time to introduce concentrated nourishment to the skin.

NIGHT RENEWAL works overnight with the body's natural circadian rhythms to deliver vital nutrients and powerful moisturisers when the skin can benefit from it most. Firming botanicals and emollients work to increase moisture levels and combat the effects of daily exposure to the environment. NIGHT RENEWAL also contains soy protein--rich in vitamins A and E, zinc, and isoflavones--to help rejuvenate the skin's appearance.

Regensiomes™ are a revolutionary complex that help support cell renewal in skin that has been damaged by the sun. NIGHT RENEWAL also contains Dermal Surface Renewal™ (DSR) technology, a marine-source complex, which visibly reduces existing signs of ageing as it refines and firms the skin.

Night Renewal provides additional nourishment and moisture to the skin with rich plant extracts. Echinacea and centella asiatica provide natural skin brightening and firming benefits, while whole grape and green tea provide free radical protection. Finally, Irish moss, shea butter, and mallow deliver powerful, skin-softening moisture.

Directions:
Apply this emulsion to face and neck in gentle, light, upward strokes.
