USANA Health Sciences, Inc., today began operations in the Philippines, the 14th market where independent Associates sell USANA's high quality nutritional supplements.

According to the Direct Selling Association of the Philippines, annual direct selling revenues in the country total about $500 million. As one of the 25 largest markets globally for direct sales, the Philippines offers USANA a significant direct selling opportunity.

"During these tough economic times, USANA is fortunate to be able to continue its international growth," said USANA CEO Dave Wentz. "We believe the Philippines will be another strong market for our company. For many USANA Associates, entering the Philippines provides them with a great opportunity to build their business in a market where they already have strong ties."
