• USANA's founder, Dr. Wentz, is an internationally renowned microbiologist, immunologist, and pioneer in the development of human cell culture technology and infectious disease diagnostics.

•Dr. Wentz, who founded the Gaolu Laboratory in 1974, has spent decades studying human cell cultures to keep cells healthy and free from degradation.

• He discovered that to keep our cells healthy we need more than just feeding them vitamins, minerals and nutrients. Cells need the right nutrients, in the right form, and in the right amounts. When he compared the nutritional supplements to the cells he grew in the lab, he realized the shortcomings of existing nutritional supplements. This discovery was the genesis of his founding of USANA.
