Nature’s Sunshine Products HIGHEST QUALITY Can Be One of Your BEST Sales Tools
Buyer Beware Many companies with very little experience are trying to market dietary supplements. Over 85% of brands are actually made by third-party manufacturers. Other companies are not in charge of their own quality.
Quality Advantage # 1 Nature’s Sunshine Manufactures Our Products In The State of the Art Facility in Spanish Fork, Utah
“The only source of knowledge is experience.” Albert Einstein Nature’s Sunshine Products – 40 years of experience and counting
Quality Advantage # 2 NSP Has Independent Third Party cGMP Certification
Quality Advantage #3 Quality Testing Encompasses Three Key Areas: Potency – Correct actives are present in the optimum synergistic amounts. Purity – assures the product contains the correct ingredient (such as the correct species) and is free of adulteration. Safety – assures the product is not contaminated and is safe when ingested or used.
Potency Is Key Highest potency is not always the best. Optimum potency of actives is key. NSP’s experience and testing assure the highest quality potency.
Competitor Potency Testing Antioxidant Drinks NSP’s Thai-Go out-performed 5 network marketing competitors! NSP’s ORAC value nearly doubled the closest competitor NSP was the only one of the 6 with a Brunswick certification!
Kelp Product Comparison NSP’s Kelp contained all actives in the proper amounts. Competitor products contained little to no kelp. NSP contained 2.5–6.5 times more naturally occurring iodine than the competitors Tested by Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) and titration for iodine.
Kelp Fingerprint (TLC) Comparison
NSP’s Testing 100% Assures All Label Claims Are Met You can’t rely on their labels. Sometimes you just do not get what you pay for or you can get more than what is good for you.

Purity: Why is it Important? Many herbs are adulterated with other plants, wrong parts of the plant or other species. Other companies do not have labs for testing, so they do not know if a raw material is pure. Nature’s Sunshine can assure 100% purity because we test each lot before we use it.
Insects and Animals Whole Insects Insect Fragments Animal or Insect Excreta
Filth Rocks, sticks, dirt and other foreign materials add weight and bulk
Purity Over 300 “ fraudulent” products found by FDA. Suppliers illegally "spike" or completely substitute the listed herbal compounds with cheaply produced synthetic drug analogs which mimic portions of the natural herbal constituents. Dr. Oz show went undercover and found tainted supplements. Recently, producers of The Dr. Oz Show went undercover and discovered how easy it was to buy tainted supplements the FDA has recalled. The Dr. Oz Show then sent the supplements for lab testing. All five weight-loss supplement samples came up positive for sibutramine, an ingredient in prescription obesity drugs that was banned because it caused heart attacks, strokes and seizures. In addition, one of the five tested positive for a powerful antibiotic called ciprofloxacin (Cipro). This is believed to be the first time that traces of this powerful antibiotic have been found in an over-the-counter supplement.
