Raincoast: Grizzly Papers
USANA Health Sciences
One of the companies that provides core support to Raincoast is USANA Health Sciences. This award-winning company is highly regarded in the scientific field and affords Raincoast supporters an opportunity to support their own health while supporting the health of the BC coast. 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. To order products or find out more go to www.raincoast.usana.com and use the Raincoast ID number 2616300.
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.
Raincoast is very grateful to USANA and Synergy Works Inc for their continued support.
