- USANA Health Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:USNA) hosted nearly 8,000 independent Associates and guests this week for its 16th annual international convention in Salt Lake City.

As part of the event, USANA unveiled its new Rev3 Energy(TM) drink, revealed additions to its already lucrative compensation plan and announced its plan to enter the Philippines in early 2009.

Rev3 Energy(TM)

is an advanced formula of antioxidants and other important nutrients packed in a delicious beverage that contains no artificial flavors, colors, sweeteners or preservatives. The product is green tea-based, providing consumers with a natural lift. Rev3 Energy is available in a can as well as a Surge Pack, an easy-to-carry stick pack, perfect for a gym water bottle.

"We enjoyed an incredible international convention this year, which included many exciting announcements," USANA CEO Dave Wentz said. "We now provide our independent Associates with two additional ways to earn income through their home-based USANA business. We believe this announcement along with our new product, Rev3 Energy, will be key drivers of USANA's future growth and our Associates' success."

USANA's convention also served as a fundraiser for its charitable partner, Children's Hunger Fund. A convention golf tournament and USANA's annual 5K Walk for Life helped raise $100,000 for the international relief organization.
