We urgently want to share the message of better health with others because we
believe our health is in a state of crisis. The crisis is primarily due to three causes:

1. Overuse of prescription and over-the-counter drugs:
     110,000 people die every year from adverse reactions to prescriptive drugs
     (The Journal of American Medical Association): 165,000 people died in 1995
     alone (Dr. Julian Whitaker).
     an estimated $2 billion is spent each year on drugs prescribed to alleviate the
     symptoms of other drugs (Dr. Bruce West, National Association of Research
     Biochemists).

2. Insufficient nutrients:
     90% of Americans are vitamin-and mineral-deficient, according to the
     Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) standard (Dr. Earl Mindell,Ph.D.,
     author of The Vitamin Bible).

Consequently, our plant-foods-vegetables, fruits and grains-lack the nutrients
our bodies need. And since most Americans don't eat balanced, nutritious              meals, we are not getting adequate vitamins, minerals and other essential nutrients.

3. Environmental Pollution:
     120,000 people die every year from car pollution (American Lung Association).
     Americans consume 9 pounds of food additives each year.(Sunshine Horizons)

However, Nature's Sunshine offers solutions to these problems in the form of
herbs and supplements.
     Herbs work without drugs' adverse side effects.

     Herbs provide nutrients that build and nourish the body.

     Herbs have the ability to cleanse the body of toxins and pollutants.

Three Guiding Values represent the creed of our company: Quality, Service, and Integrity. These are not just words to Nature's Sunshine. They are a commitment.
They are the basis of everything we do. NSP constantly strives to excel in these
areas.

You might be surprised to know that although Nature's Sunshine is based in
Spanish Fork, Utah)a town of 25,000), it is a global company. NSP currently
markets its products in 22 countries and is always examining potential new markets.

This global presence gives Nature's Sunshine distributors an ever-increasing
opportunity to sell NSP products worldwide.
