Nature’s Sunshine Products Stands Behind its 42-Year Commitment to Quality
LEHI, Utah, February 6, 2015 – Nature’s Sunshine Products, Inc. (“NSP”),
one of the world’s foremost manufacturers and distributors of premium
quality health supplements in the natural health and wellness markets,
proudly stands behind its 42-year legacy of quality manufacturing and
product excellence.
A
plethora of health supplement vendors sell products in today’s
marketplace, but how do consumers really know what they are getting?
Even in the regulated natural supplement industry, consumers can still
find a vast spectrum of product quality. Fortunately, a few companies
still thrive on being and providing the very best.
NSP invests millions of dollars annually into Quality Assurance and
Quality Control, which covers domestic and international vendor audits,
cutting-edge equipment, qualified personnel, testing methods and lab
materials, documentation review and more. “It’s a great deal of money,”
says Gregory L. Probert, NSP Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “But
our reputation is worth every dollar we spend and every minute we take
to make sure we offer our members the highest quality health supplements
available.”
Nature’s Sunshine has built a reputation for having the highest quality
in the industry by consistently investing the time and resources to
ensure that what’s on the label is what’s in the bottle. This starts
with sourcing raw materials from trusted and verified vendors. Prior to
using a vendor’s materials, NSP scientists visit their facilities and
conduct lengthy audits to ensure they are harvesting and processing
plant material to Nature’s Sunshine’s high standards. This can include
observing an actual harvest to ensure sustainability where necessary,
touring offices and production space, viewing pertinent internal
documents and even taking the time to inspect the facilities’ sanitation
procedures. No stone goes unturned in Nature’s Sunshine’s pursuit of
quality.
Superior quality also includes the manufacturing of Nature’s Sunshine’s
own products in its state-of-the-art, climate controlled, 200,000
square-foot facility in Spanish Fork, Utah. NSP scientists use High
Performance Liquid Chromatography, infra-red analysis, Thin Layer
Chromatography, Gas Chromatography, Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass
Spectrometry and other scientific methods and equipment to test raw
materials—and finished products—to verify correct plant species and
parts are present.
NSP quality experts conduct a battery of tests to check for possible
contaminants, including heavy metals, dirt or other impurities, yeast,
mold, bacteria, pesticides, herbicides, radiation, etc. Analytical
assays are used to verify vitamin and mineral content claims. All told,
NSP has at its disposal over 600 different quality and purity tests it
can use for materials and finished products in addition to the advanced
analytical equipment and science experts to perform the job well.
“Going to these great lengths as we manufacture and warehouse our own
products sets us apart from most other companies,” said Lynda Hammons,
NSP Vice President of Global Quality and Regulatory Affairs. “I can’t
speak for companies that out-source their manufacturing, but I feel very
confident about our products because we are right here observing and
testing them EVERY step of the way.”
Throughout product development, manufacturing and finished product
testing, NSP adheres to stringent quality standards known throughout the
industry as Good Manufacturing Practices or GMPs. Additionally, in the
Methods Lab, NSP boasts four PhDs who have developed some of their own
methods for testing active constituents in natural materials. Many of
these have been published in peer-reviewed scientific journals. Of
course, NSP shares these new, accurate testing methods with vendors on
these occasions, in the hope that everyone working together can continue
to improve quality throughout the industry.
Nature’s Sunshine is proud to have received certification from various
independent organizations that revere quality. These include prestigious
approval from the Australia Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA),
which is needed before a company may sell herbal products in Australia.
NSP also holds certifications from the National Sanitation Foundation
International (NSF), the International Aloe Science Council and
Brunswick Laboratories of Southborough, Mass. In 2013, Nature’s Sunshine
was also selected as one of America’s Most Trustworthy Companies by
Forbes magazine, and was one of just four companies in the entire
“pharmaceuticals” category to be so singled out.
Its 42-year legacy of quality, service and integrity has made Nature’s
Sunshine a veritable benchmark in the health supplement industry. The
Company remains completely committed to excellence in development,
manufacturing, quality control and customer satisfaction as it offers
safe, efficacious and innovative choices to people seeking wellness.
