Dear USANA Shareholders,

We invite you to participate in the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of USANA Health Sciences, Inc. on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, at 11:00 AM, Mountain Daylight Time. We will conduct the Annual Meeting via a live webcast. There will not be an option for you to attend the Annual Meeting in person. You will be able to participate in the Annual Meeting and vote your shares electronically during the live webcast of the meeting by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/USNA2026 and entering the 16-digit control number provided in your proxy materials.

We are pleased to provide access to our proxy materials over the Internet under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s “notice and access” rules. As a result, we are mailing to many of our shareholders a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, instead of a paper copy of the Proxy Statement and our 2025 Annual Report. The notice contains instructions on how to access those documents over the Internet as well as how to receive a paper copy of our proxy materials. All shareholders who do not receive a notice will receive a paper copy by mail unless they have previously requested delivery of proxy materials electronically. Continuing to employ this distribution process will conserve natural resources and reduce the costs of printing and distributing our proxy materials.

You may vote your shares at the Annual Meeting, or by proxy over the Internet or by telephone, or, if you received paper copies of the proxy materials, by mail, by following the instructions on the proxy card or voting instruction card. Submitting your vote in any of these authorized ways will ensure your representation at the Annual Meeting regardless of whether you participate virtually in the Annual Meeting online over the Internet.

Please contact 1-800-586-1548 for any technical difficulties or trouble accessing the virtual meeting or if you are unable to locate your 16-digit control number.

Your vote is important to us and I do hope you will vote as soon as possible. Thank you for your continued support of USANA.

Sincerely,

Kevin Guest

Chief Executive Officer &

Chairman of the Board
