Because only eight tablets are allowed in each MyHealthPak packet, many customers have found it difficult to add a wide variety of tablets at the recommended dosages. This is compounded by the fact that some of the most popular Optimizers - including Proflavanol C¹⁰⁰ and CoQuinone 30 - have recommended dosages ranging from 1 to 3 tablets. With the creation of super pills, customers already taking multiple tablets can simply split up the super pill dosages the same way they did previously. For example, if you took four per day - two in the morning and two at night - you could now simply take one super pill in the morning and one at night. For individuals taking 200 mg of CoQ10 due to a doctor's recommendation, it is now possible to take two capsules rather than 6-7 of the regular dosage.

Keep in mind that the super pills have not replaced their regular formula counterparts. For example, if you have been taking 1-2 Proflavanol C¹⁰⁰ tablets each day, you can continue to do so. However, if you want to take advantage of the cost savings offered by Proflavanol C²⁰⁰, you now have the option of taking just one tablet once a day at a reduced price.

The primary active ingredient in Proflavanol C¹⁰⁰ (grape seed extract) is well-tolerated and retained in the body longer than several hours. Vitamin C is retained in the body for a shorter period; however, it is also found in significant amounts in many of USANA's products.

CoQ10 and alpha-lipoic acid (found in CoQuinone 100) do not lose absorption or retention at the levels at which they are provided; it more a matter of convenience and personal preference. Likewise, the active ingredients in Visionex can be efficiently taken all at once and do not need to be split up.

While smaller, more frequent dosages of supplements are often desirable, the significance of this is dependent on many factors, including the nature of each nutrient, the tolerance of each individual, and ease and convenience of use. The specific products USANA has chosen to provide as super pills will be just as effective in a single higher dosage as they are in smaller split dosages.
