You know what my biggest barrier is to being healthier? It’s not so much eating my veggies, or even working out, because these things have become part of my routine.

The hardest part is the inconvenience. If I have to go out of my way to do something—like go to the farmer’s market instead of my usual grocery store, or wake up extra early to exercise—then I probably won’t do it.

That’s why I need my supplements to be as convenient as possible. I’ve got a bunch of bottles of the USANA® Essentials and Procosa® sitting on my desk at work, and this is super easy for Monday through Friday. But then on the weekends, I don’t take my supplements. I mean, what am I supposed to do, take the bottles home with me every Friday? Put them in a plastic baggy?

Yeah, that doesn’t sound like something I would do.

That’s why this year I’m going to start using MyHealthPak™ instead. MyHealthPak is not only portable thanks to the tiny AM/PM packs, but it’s also totally customizable. Which means I can take them anywhere with me and still get all of the nutrition I need.

There are some other big benefits as well. For example, AO Booster is found only in USANA’s HealthPak and MyHealthPak options. I think of this as my “bonus” supplement, since I can’t get it anywhere else. This great option boosts antioxidant protection and contains resveratrol and grape-seed extract.

Resveratrol is a polyphenolic compound found in berries, grape skin, and red wine that provides excellent support for heart health and other antioxidant benefits. AO Booster also includes alpha-lipoic acid, which supports the body’s natural detoxification processes.*

Plus, Super Pills are exclusive to MyHealthPak. They are extra strength formulas of USANA’s most popular optimizers. These powerful pills help free up space in your packet for more supplements!

Visionex® DS is the double-strength form of Visionex—which means you get the same powerful vision-supporting lutein and bilberry extract with only one pill. If you really want to support your long-term eye health, this is the way to go.*

Proflavanol® C200 offers twice the amount of grapeseed extract as the original Proflavanol C100, so you can get double the dose of antioxidants for your cardiovascular system.*

CoQuinone® 100 provides more than three times the CoQ10 you’ll find in the standard CoQuinone 30 from our bottles. Support the cells in your heart with this supplement—without having to down three pills at once.*

So if you want to make the most of your MyHealthPak, be sure to take advantage of these Super Pills.

Now it’s your turn: tell me, what will you put in your MyHealthPak?
