Dr. Myron Wentz is founder and chairman of USANA Health Sciences. In 1992 he created USANA based on his vision of a world free from pain suffering and disease. He has spread the belief in the importance of cellular nutrition by developing a group of nutritional supplements based on his cell-culture expertise. "At USANA our aim is to produce the highest quality scientifically-proven nutritional supplements for optimal health." The phenomenal growth of USANA proves the accuracy of Dr. Wentz' ideas and the effectiveness of the nutritional supplements he has brought to the world.
>USANA was an outgrowth of Dr. Wentz' research on human cell cultures performed at Gull Laboratories in Salt Lake City UT. At Gull Dr. Wentz developed more than 30 different assays for infectious diseases including many FDA and industry firsts. The first product to establish worldwide prominence was his assay for the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). Introduced in 1977 it was the first commercial assay for EBV to receive FDA clearance. Dr. Wentz' commitment to worldwide health has progressed from his work at Gull to the quickly growing USANA Health Sciences to the new Sanoviv Health Retreat a wellness and healing center in Baja Mexico.
Dr. Wentz obtained his Ph.D. in microbiology and immunology from the University of Utah. He holds a master's degree in microbiology from the University of North Dakota and a bachelor's degree in biology from North Central College in Naperville Illinois.
Dr. Wentz was the recipient of the 2003 Ernst & Young Utah Entrepreneur of the Year award.
