They use only the finest raw materials, gathered from the Americas, Europe, Africa and the Orient, and work with some of the best trained Herb Specialists in the world. From our research, their herbs outshine the competition!
Natures Sunshine Products, Inc. is a public company originally founded by Gene, Kristine, and Pauline Hughes. Natures Sunshine started by using herbs in products and marketing them as essential health supplements. The company has different ways of allowing its distributors to sell the product – Retail or Direct to Consumer sales. Natures Sunshine functions through many distributors. These distributors sell the products of the company through professional health care practitioners, health product stores, and to individuals direct.
Natures Sunshine purchases herbs and other necessary materials in bulk quantities. It then conducts quality tests of the products and then formulates them into capsules.

When you purchase Nature's Sunshine products you know that what's on the label is in the bottle. They want to make sure that the product you purchased is the best that money can buy. Natures Sunshine also does a lot of training on herbology and nutritional supplements. If you have a passion for understanding nutrition, and how it affects people, this is a perfect place to start. If you are already a Health Professional, this is a great product line to add to your existing business.
One last thing, Natures Sunshine has been around for a long time so they're well ahead of the curve and others are trying to catch up.
Compass has become a tool for long term success in some Nature Sunshine businesses. The associates using the Compass are seeing better results, helping more people and find it as agreat opportunity to increase their revenue.
Disadvantages: We don't see many disadvantages for this company. There is some amount of competition in this area. But those who have a passion for helping others with their health will quickly learn the products and services so they can sell them efficiently. The second is the learning curve it takes to learn many of the products. We find that people who focus on one segment either weight loss, digestion, anti-aging, or their nutritional supplement get a better start.
