ALOE VERA GEL	Aloe Vera Juice [Intestinal, Skin] is a nutritional storehouse, naturally containing several vitamins plus 18 amino acids, in addition to many other dietary factors. It soothes the skin and the tissues lining the digestive tract. It contains many biologically active compounds that support the digestion and absorption of food and nourish the intestinal system. Many companies manufacture aloe vera, but most products on the market have lost much of the plant's original benefits due to over-processing. Beware of aloe vera juice that claims to have no disagreeable taste. Removing this taste can leave you with a product that is only 10–15 percent aloe vera, at best. NSP aloe vera is processed in a special way to avoid the loss of essential vitamins, minerals and other constituents. The leaf is filleted; then the green outer portion that contains aloin is removed, leaving the gel that remains in the leaf. The gel remains thick when the leaf is first cut, but after a few minutes, an enzymatic reaction causes it to become liquid and freely run out. It is this 100 percent pure liquid that NSP collects. To prevent bacterial contamination, we add sodium benzoate as a preservative. Sodium benzoate is effective in very small quantities, and it properly and safely preserves aloe vera juice. NSP Whole Leaf Aloe Vera provides a higher level of mucopolysaccharides than regular filleted aloe vera. Only the intense cleansing components have been removed, leaving a high level of mucopolysaccharides (7,000 mg per liter). Used externally, aloe is known for its hydrating and moisturizing properties. Shake well before use and refrigerate after opening. For external use, try Aloe Vera Gel. The gel is created by adding a gelling agent, Irish moss extract, to the juice. Aloe vera gel spreads on quickly and moisturizes, leaving no stickiness. Drink 2–6 oz. Aloe Vera Juice daily as is or mixed with water or juice. Or, drink 1 oz. Whole Leaf Aloe Vera juice mixed with 8 oz. water 4 times daily. Apply Aloe Vera Gel to the skin as desired for its moisturizing and toning properties. Aloe Vera, Freeze Dried - Provides the same benefits as liquid Aloe Vera Juice but in capsulated form. Freeze-drying removes water content while maintaining the full botanical value of Aloe Vera. Each capsule contains 150 mg freeze-dried aloe vera and is equivalent to 1 fluid ounce of 100% Aloe Vera juice. Take 1 or 2 capsules with a meal three times daily.

This formulation provides calcium and phosphorus at a 2:l ratio. Magnesium is also added in the same 2:1 ratio with calcium. Without these important ratios, the body begins to lose one or more minerals before it can utilize them. Calcium is needed by the immune system and is critical to muscle contractions. Phosphorus works synergistically with B vitamins to help maintain a proper fluid balance in the body. Vitamin D is added to help calcium do its job. At least 400 IU of vitamin D is needed on a daily basis, especially for those not getting enough sunshine (D is the "sunshine vitamin"). Three tablets daily will supply: Amount % DV Vitamin D 360 IU 90 Calcium 750 mg 75 Phosphorus 330 mg 30 Magnesium 375 mg 90 These nutrients come in a base of bone meal, alfalfa herb and wheat germ and contain no sugar, starch, artificial coloring or flavoring.

FAT GRABBERS	Fat Grabbers® [Weight Loss] is an ideal product for anyone wanting to help reduce the level of fat in his or her diet. No stimulants, no questionable ingredients—just wholesome, nutritional substances that won't disrupt normal body processes. Research conducted in our laboratories has verified many other in vitro experiments performed at independent laboratories that lecithin and saponins emulsify fat in aqueous media. The logical extension of this observation to the small intestines is assumed through scientific precedent. The fat-binding properties of fiber from guar gum and psyllium hulls interfere with the absorption of the emulsified fat from the small intestine. The bound fat molecules are then eliminated. Using Fat Grabbers in conjunction with a sensible dietary plan will help you create an effective overall weight-management program.

GARLIC, HIGH POTENCY, SYNERPRO	Support Your Circulation and Immunity Garlic, High-Potency, SynerPro [Immune].

GOLDEN SEAL	Golden Seal [Immune] is native to North America. The plant has been largely overharvested and is periodically in short supply. Its immune-supporting properties are largely due to its hydrastine, berberine and canadine alkaloids. It is said to help support the mucous membranes that line the respiratory, digestive and urinary tracts. Because demand for the herb is high and supplies are low, golden seal is one of the most expensive herbs on the market. For this reason, many herb suppliers are tempted to adulterate supplies of golden seal with other herbs of similar chemical composition, such as Oregon grape. However, only golden seal contains the alkaloid hydrastine. Nature's Sunshine boasts the technology and expertise needed to test golden seal for hydrastine—thus ensuring a pure, unadulterated supply of this valued herb. Each capsule contains 500 mg golden seal root. Take 2 capsules with a meal twice daily. (Note: pregnant women should not use golden seal since it may influence uterine muscles.)

Golden seal contains hydrastine and berberine, two major alkaloids. Parthenium contains sesquiterpine esters. The herbs' beneficial nutritional elements are concentrated and rapidly absorbed by the body. Golden Seal/Parthenium extract can be taken in water or straight under the tongue. Adults: Use 20–25 drops two times daily. Children: Use 10–15 drops in water twice daily. One ml is equal to 1 capsule of golden seal and 1 capsule of parthenium. 4 Kids Too!
