The article below made me sit up and take note. I was
shocked to learn that 60% of the herbal products contained
something different than that specified on the label and
that only 2 out of the 12 of the companies were authentic.
In other words if you are buying herbal products from
companies other than Nature's Sunshine you do not know what
you are getting. Cheaper is not better. Nature's
Sunshine is a company of 40 years and it has surpassed any other
company of herbal products because it sustains its integrity
of quality. Their products are thouroughly tested and they
work!
Note also the alternative herbal market is exploding. I know
I am in the right business. If you are thinking of a great business
either part time or full time please contact me Donna Roth

Study: Herbal products omit ingredients, contain
fillers
Consumers of natural health products beware. The majority
of herbal products on the market contain ingredients not listed on the label,
with most companies substituting cheaper alternatives and using fillers,
according to new research from the University of Guelph.
The study, published today in the open access journal BMC
Medicine, used DNA barcoding technology to test 44 herbal products sold by 12
companies.
Only two of the companies provided authentic products
without substitutions, contaminants or fillers.
Overall, nearly 60 per cent of the herbal products
contained plant species not listed on the label.
Researchers detected product substitution in 32 per cent
of the samples.
More than 20 per cent of the products included fillers
such as rice, soybeans and wheat not listed on the label.
Medicinal herbs now constitute the fastest-growing
segment of the North American alternative medicine market, with more than
29,000 herbal substances sold.
