SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- (NYSE: USNA) You've heard multiple studies stating that moderate amounts of red wine can be good for you. The reason? Flavonoids found in red wine, grapes and grape seeds help maintain healthy circulation. So what if you could reap the benefits of red wine without the extra calories or a hangover, and get your daily vitamin C at the same time? Dr. Brian Dixon, USANA's executive director of health and science education, appears as a guest on The Dr. Oz Show to explain a simple solution--USANA's Proflavanol(®) C(100).

It's the perfect combination of powerful grape-seed bioflavonoids and high-potency vitamin C using USANA's proprietary nutritional hybrid technology. It's a one-two punch to support a healthy heart.

"Most people assume that the environment, our diets and even our own bodies give us enough protection for our cells," says Dr. Dixon. "That's just not the case. We need extra support to shield our cells from excessive oxidative stress. This is especially true for our cardiovascular system, which is why Proflavanol C(100) is important."

Dr. Dixon will appear on The Dr. Oz Show Monday, February 23, to talk more about this phenomenon. USANA is a Trusted Partner and Sponsor of The Dr. Oz Show.
