One of the companies that provides core support to Raincoast is USANA Health Sciences.

USANA vitamins are independently ranked as North America’s top supplement (Comparative Guide to Nutritional Supplements, 2008). For those who already augment their diet with vitamins, using USANA would not be an additional cost, but rather a matter of switching brands.

When you order through the USANA-Raincoast site a percentage of every dollar goes to supporting Raincoast research. If you have questions call Barbara at 250-652-2906.  To place your order by phone you can call USANA order express at 1-888-950-9595 and provide the Raincoast ID # 2616300.
