Nature's Sunshine supplements are the finest natural health products money can buy. Our premium products offer you the benefits you want: With the public becoming increasingly concerned and informed regarding herbs and supplements, the focus of the industry has shifted to quality, purity and potency issues. New herbal lines are being introduced claiming "unique" techniques to ensure the above qualities. However, the implementation of testing and formulation procedures for purity, bioactivity, and consistency in herbs and supplements is nothing new to Nature's Sunshine Products (NSP). Since 1972, NSP's mission has been to provide the finest quality herbal products worldwide. Don't Take Our Word For It In 1998 NSP's theme was "Quality to Change a Life". Throughout the year, we shared evidence of NSP's superior product quality with Sunshine Horizons readers based on the findings of our QA department. Now we'd like to share a few of the other measuring sticks by which we are judged. Did You Know? 1.NSP adheres to and complies with the Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) set forth by the US government. These guidelines, which are monitored by the Food and Drug Administration, set standards for the manufacturing and analysis of different products. In the United States, manufacturers must meet the standards for their particular product categories, i.e., pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, foods, etc. The FDA has proposed regulations for the health supplement industry that may go into effect next year. Though these standards have not yet been approved, NSP already complies with, and where possible, exceeds them. 2.Several independent organizations audit NSP on a regular basis, testing product purity and quality. The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) of Australia and the International Aloe Science Council are just two examples. The TGA is part of the Australian Department of Health and Family Services. NSP was audited by the TGA in May 1997 and found to be in compliance with its code for medicinal products. The TGA audits some supplement manufacturers as often as every other year. Because of NSP's excellent track record, the TGA only audits us every three years. 3. The European community generally accepts the findings of the TGA. This means that European countries have enough confidence in the TGA's testing that they approve our products for sale. 4. A number of NSP products are sent to Canada where each lot is analyzed by independent, third party laboratories for potency, purity and label claims. The Canadian government classifies many of our products as drugs. Consequently, we must comply with its pharmaceutical regulations, which are more stringent, in order to sell our products in Canada. NSP products have been approved for sale in Canada for approximately 15 years. 5. In order to register NSP products for sale in Japan and Korea, governments in those countries appoint organizations that rigorously inspect and test our products. We must meet their standards in order to sell our products there. NSP sells products in 42 countries, more than many other supplement manufacturers. With all of these facts in mind you must know that Nature's Sunshine stands firmly behind the quality of the products they bring to the public as do the independent agencies that also test our products on a regular basis.
