USANA supplement label
CellSentials: the full label, and what a day of it adds up to
CellSentials is two products taken together, Vita Antioxidant and Core Minerals, and the label says to take two tablets of each twice a day, so a day is double the amounts per serving.[1] At that amount it provides 40 mg of niacin, 5 mg above the adult upper limit for niacin from supplements. No other nutrient on the label passes its upper limit on its own.[4] Both bottles are on NSF's certification listing for dietary supplements.[2]
What is in CellSentials? The ingredient label, as text
Joy Health transcribed every row below and checked it against the U.S. label USANA publishes.[1] Amounts, units, and % Daily Values are exactly as printed. Formulas change, so compare the label on your own package.

Two rows need a closer read. Vitamin A's 1,804 µg RAE is 25% preformed vitamin A (516 µg of retinyl acetate) and 75% beta carotene and mixed carotenoids, and only the preformed part counts toward vitamin A's upper limit.[1][6] Folate's 500 µg DFE comes from 300 µg of folic acid, which is what the folate upper limit counts.[13]
Earlier CellSentials label images carried a “Contains soy” badge. The current label USANA publishes carries no soy statement, and its lecithin is sunflower lecithin.[1] If soy matters to you, check the package you receive.
How much does CellSentials add up to in a day?
Two servings of each bottle a day put niacin at 40 mg. The upper limit, 35 mg, applies to both forms of niacin in supplements, niacin and niacinamide, and is based on skin flushing.[4] NIH describes that flushing as unpleasant rather than toxic and notes that niacinamide does not cause it. The label lists niacin “as niacin and niacinamide” without the split, so the label alone cannot tell you how likely flushing is.[1][4]
Vitamin B6 comes to 32 mg a day. That is under the U.S. upper limit of 100 mg but above the 12 mg adult limit that the European Food Safety Authority set in 2023, which NIH also reports.[5]

Daily amounts multiply the label's per-serving amounts by the servings its directions call for. Food, drinks, fortified foods, and other supplements add to these totals. A Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) is the highest daily intake likely to pose no risk of adverse effects for almost all healthy people in an age group. It is not a recommended intake.[15]
Is CellSentials third-party tested?
Yes. Both halves are certified to NSF/ANSI 173: NSF's official listing for USANA's Salt Lake City facility names CellSentials Vita-Antioxidant and CellSentials Core Minerals under NSF/ANSI 173, each with a recommended daily serving of 4 tablets.[2] USANA also announced in March 2026 that CellSentials earned the ConsumerLab.com Seal of Approval after testing for potency, purity, and label accuracy. That is the company's description; ConsumerLab's own report was not available to us.[3]
Joy Health interpretation: both checks ask whether the tablets match their label and meet contaminant limits. Neither tells you whether a multivitamin is worth taking; the supplement evidence guide covers how to weigh that.
What to check before taking CellSentials
- Warfarin. CellSentials provides 540 µg of vitamin K a day. NIH notes that vitamin K can interact seriously with warfarin, and that people taking it need a consistent vitamin K intake.[7]
- Pregnancy. NIH advises people who are or might be pregnant not to take high doses of vitamin A supplements, above 3,000 µg RAE a day, and says to use the preformed share of a mixed label when comparing with that limit. CellSentials provides 3,608 µg RAE of vitamin A a day, of which 1,032 µg is preformed.[6]
- Blood tests. CellSentials has 300 µg of biotin a day. NIH warns that biotin above recommended intakes can cause falsely high or low results on some lab tests; the thyroid-test interference it describes followed a single 10 mg dose. Mention your supplements when you have blood drawn.[8]
- Cancer treatment. NIH notes that oncologists generally advise against antioxidant supplements during chemotherapy or radiotherapy.[9]
- Liver. Each serving includes 35 mg of green tea extract and 36 mg of Meriva, a bioavailable curcumin complex. NIH reports uncommon cases of liver injury with green tea extracts and with highly bioavailable curcumin products.[10][11]
- Doubling up. HealthPak repeats CellSentials' vitamins and minerals, so taking both doubles the amounts above. NIH notes that fortified foods and several supplements can add up to more than you think.[12]
FDA does not approve dietary supplements before they are sold, and it advises talking with a doctor, pharmacist, or other health professional before using one, because some supplements interact with medicines or other supplements.[14]
