He took the advice of a neighbor who suggested cayenne pepper for his discomfort. It worked! Soon Gene began feeling much better, but swallowing a spoonful of cayenne pepper was awful. That’s when his wife, Kristine, suggested putting the powder into easy-to-swallow gelatin capsules. It was revolutionary! Gene and Kristine soon enlisted the support of family—Dick and Pauline Hughes and Jay and Arva Hughes—to begin a small family business, selling encapsulated cayenne and other herbs to health food stores.

The family soon realized they wanted to touch more lives with their products, and they found the perfect vehicle for making this happen—direct marketing. This business model allowed them to educate consumers about the products and provided their sales force an opportunity to share in the success of the company. Today Nature’s Sunshine Products (NSP) can be found in 33 countries, represented by nearly 600,000 distributors.

Nature's Sunshine Products Follows Numerous Manufacturing Guidelines:
Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), United States Pharmacopoeia (USP), Institute for Nutraceutical Advancement (INA) and the Association of Analytical Communities (AOAC).Many of us get questions from customers asking about the regulations on dietary supplements, specifically if supplements are held to the same regulations as pharmaceutical grade products. In a survey conducted by the National Consumers League, 26 percent of consumers believe that the Food and Drug Administration approves dietary supplements for safety and effectiveness. Dietary supplements do not need the approval of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) when they are brought to market. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) heavily regulates supplement manufacturers as to the statements and claims they can make. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) also makes routine inspections of the Nature's Sunshine Products facility as well as other nutritional supplement companies. Pharmaceutical manufacturers, on the other hand, are more strictly regulated by the FDA.All NSP products are made according to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) guidelines. We test all our raw herbs for potency, contaminants and microbes when we receive them from our vendors. If the raw materials do not meet our specifications they are sent back to the vendor. Nature's Sunshine rejects an average of 4-6 percent of all raw materials sent to us. We only incorporate the very best into our products and it shows in our customer satisfaction and brand loyalty.Our Research and Development technicians use the United States Pharmacopoeia (USP), Institute for Nutraceutical Advancement (INA) and the Association of Analytical Communities (AOAC) as a basis for conducting analytical methods. We use gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry to ensure consistency from batch to batch. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) is also utilized to confirm that what our vendors send is exactly what we requested.NSP quality assurance is outstanding. Our QA department tests product ingredients before manufacturing begins and throughout the production process. We believe that quality control must begin with the raw material and continue throughout the entire manufacturing process. Our consumers can be assured that what is written on the label is what's in the package they purchase.
