ORGAIN PROTEIN POWDER
ORGAIN, A LINE of nutritional shakes and
a protein powder certified organic by the
U.S. Department of Agriculture, was created
by Dr. Andrew Abraham, a Costco member,
with one simple goal. “I wanted to create
the healthiest, most nutritious certified
organic products in the world,” says
Abraham, a cancer survivor and
physician.
Costco has offered Orgain’s plant-based Organic Protein Powder for a
few years, in sweet vanilla bean and
creamy chocolate fudge.
Starting in January, Costco is
introducing Orgain Organic Protein + 50
Superfoods, an incredible new product that
is exclusive to Costco. Each serving contains
21 grams of organic, plant-based protein, 50
organic superfoods, 1 billion (!) probiotics
and food-based vitamins from whole-food
sources such as organic guava for B vitamins and organic amla fruit for vitamin C.
Available in a vanilla bean flavor, this delicious ultra-premium protein powder has a
creamy texture that is perfect in a smoothie,
mixed with milk or water, or added to just
about any food.
Costco members will find
this product on
Costco.com and
at Costco locations, and at an
incredible value.
Item #1195611.

KIRKLAND SIGNATURE™
HEARTBURN CAPSULES
HEARTBURN IS A painful, burning sensation
in the lower chest or throat that occurs when
stomach acid backs up and irritates the sensitive lining of the esophagus. Heartburn can
be occasional or it can be frequent, which
means it occurs two or more days a week.
One popular over-the-counter medication indicated for the treatment of frequent
heartburn is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI).
Costco is proud to offer Kirkland Signature
Esomeprazole Magnesium Delayed-Release
Capsules 20 mg to our members who may
be suffering from frequent heartburn symptoms. This new, high-quality, Food and Drug
Administration–approved over-the-counter
PPI medication treats the same symptoms
as the national brand Nexium 24HR, but at
significant savings to members.
Ask your Costco pharmacist for help
in finding the right frequent heartburn
treatment for you. Find Kirkland Signature
Esomeprazole Magnesium Delayed-Release
Capsules 20 mg at Costco locations and on
Costco.com. Item #1140422, 3 x 14-count.

COSTCO SINGLE-VISION LENSES
COSTCO PURCHASES THE highest-quality lenses from the largest lens supplier in
the world. Our exclusive in-house labs manufacture our lenses with a premium
anti-reflective treatment, hard
coating and UV protection. To
make our lenses easier to keep
clean, Costco conditions each
lens with an oleophobic
coating that repels oil
and water. All of these
attributes make our
lenses better than our
competitors’.
As with all our prod-
ucts and services, we
strive to provide not only the best pos-
sible product, but also the best possible
value. And the already low pricing on
most single-vision lenses at Costco was
recently reduced by 16 percent. These
single-vision lenses can cost up to twice
as much at competing retailers.
As we like to say in the Optical Department, the savings are
easy to see.
