USANA has been in business since 1992, founded by Myron Wentz, Ph.D. who is an globally acclaimed micro-biologist and immunologist. He based USANA on the promise to bring high-quality products to the world and he has been focusing on this since then.
After more than 17 years, I am still astonished that people ask if USANA is a scam. Before I continue, let me tell you that I am not a USANA distributor and I am not using the USANA products. Nonetheless, I have studied and reviewed a lot of MLM business opportunities and verified the legality of many MLM companies.
If you look at the what makes a company a genuine business opportunity, you can see that USANA complies with all the FTC regulations in place in the USA and in the majority of the world countries. Their long track record of producing great products and maintaining a great compensation plan prove that they have actually a solid business. Let’s see what the facts tell us.
USANA has been in perfect conformity with all the FTC and Direct Selling Association guidelines. USANA being a member of the DSA provides the insurance that the company is solid and is paying attention to its distributors and customers remarks and success.
Most of the USANA products will present a good quality and years of scientific studies behind them. They have some patented formulations to keep themselves from other companies trying to duplicate their products. Probably more technical papers and reports have been written about the USANA products than any other nutritional company in the world.
Looking at the business part, we can observe that USANA has a binary comp plan. Binary plans are not the type of plans I would encourage, however, the USANA plan is a strong binary plan and can work great if you are dedicated to balance your team. It has been working for 17 years paying more than the regular plan in the Multi-level marketing industry.
The third and most important point to consider is the USANA distributors themselves and specifically your future upline to see if he or she will be able to help you develop your USANA business opportunity. You must make sure that they will be able to explain to you how to successfully make money immediately so you do not have to take a loan with yourself and will be able to create a long term residual income.
