Natures Sunshine is the herbal provider past present and
future. Quality is the key building block on which Nature Sunshine was built. Quality
in Nature’s Sunshine starts from the fields to the seeds down to the lab to the
customer’s doorstep. Nothing is compromised when it comes to quality control with
Nature Sunshine. Nature Sunshine has the most comprehensive quality control
testing in the entire world. Nature Sunshine tests to parts per trillion when
it comes to the actives in every herbal product that goes through its door.
Quality testing ensures that the actives of each herbal product is present in
the proper amounts. Other companies test their products once a year. Nature’s
Sunshine tests every lot every single time. They test for the correct species and
genus by certified botanists. There are 2 types of Valerian; Valerian Officianalis
and Indian Valerian. One has the correct actives in it and the other does not. Of
course, the Indian Valerian with no actives is the cheaper one but it has no
beneficial effects. Nature’s Sunshine houses an HPTLC equipment that separates
the actives to ensure they are all present in each lot that is tested. Many
competitors test DNA but the DNA does not tell you the part of the plant and it
does not tell you the actives in the plant. So, Nature Sunshine uses their
HPTLC equipment along with DNA to test the part of the plant and the actives
present in the plant. If the plant lot fails, the tests it is returned to the supplier
who simply sells it to the competitor next door. Nature’s Sunshine never buys the
cheapest, this company buys he best. Many of the plants are wild crafted, Lynda
personally knows the grower and exactly who harvests it. She knows the soils, the
seeds, the plants and the conditions it was grown in. She has found that many
herbs are adulterated, or the wrong part of the plants are sued or the species
in incorrect. Many companies do not test each lot as Nature’s Sunshine does.
Over 85% of the brands on the market are not tested directly by the company.
Nature Sunshine is always raising the bar on quality. In
2017 Nature’s Sunshine purchased a new HPTLC system which costs $180,000. IT
tests for colors, intensity of the actives. For instance, Cascara Sagrada to be
effective must have 30 actives. If any of the color bands are missing it is rejected.
In 2017 Nature Sunshine rejected Black Walnut because it did not meet quality standards.
Heavy metal testing is intense when it comes to Nature Sunshine. Their equipment
can test in parts per trillion. It is like locating tiny drop of water in 20
Olympic sized swimming pools.
Nature Sunshine tests for dirt, rocks and for over 650
different pesticides, herbicides and fungicides, for yeast, molds, bacteria and
microbial contamination. Just recently the FDA discovered 300 fraudulent
products on the market, some were laced with drugs, others with synthetic
steroids.
Nature’s Sunshine Chinese herbs are 1000’s of years old and

Chinese herbs.
