In ancient times, Phoenicians and Romans stored water, wine and vinegar in silver jugs to prevent spoilage. In the early 1800s, doctors used silver sutures to stitch wounds. In the early 20 th century, placing a silver dollar in the bottom of milk bottles was standard practice. And, when the former Soviet Union needed to sterilize recycled water on their space vehicles, they turned to silver. Thai-Go Power-Packed Purple Juice Combats Free Radicals and More! Thai-Go antioxidant beverage featuring mangosteen and its pericarp may be the best-tasting, most-powerful antioxidant beverage on the market.

Ms. Day sent samples of Thai-Go and two other popular antioxidant drinks to Brunswick Laboratories. The drinks were tested to determine their ORAC value. (ORAC is the most widely accepted method of measuring a food s antioxidant content.) Brand B had the lowest ORAC value at 23,323 per sample; Brand X, at 24,480, came in just ahead of Brand B.

4 3 4 5 CleanStart Keep Your System Humming The human body truly is a precision-crafted machine. But even the finest machine requires regular maintenance to continue performing its best. CleanStart is a two-week cleansing program designed to offer that periodic maintenance. Over time, toxins and waste can accumulate, causing many to feel sluggish. CleanStart helps the body flush the intestinal system of these built-up substances, which may in turn bring increased energy levels and an improved sense of well-being. Conveniently prepackaged into daily servings, CleanStart is easy to use. Each capsule packet includes one capsule of Enviro-Detox and two capsules of LBS II.

Stock No (16 fl. oz.) Retail $15.70 Member Price $10.45 Stock No (32 fl. oz.) Retail $28.15 Member Price $18.75 Food Enzymes The keys to healthy digestion Having the necessary enzymes to properly digest foods allows the body to completely break down food and harvest more usable nutrients from it. Improper diet, stress and aging all affect a person s capacity to digest food efficiently. Moreover, the cooking process often kills natural enzymes needed to digest food, forcing the body to supply replacement enzymes if it can! Supplementing with a well-rounded enzyme formula like NSP s powerful, unique Food Enzymes promotes maximum digestion and may help minimize digestive discomfort. It provides pepsin (breaks down meat and other proteins in an acid environment), pancreatin (breaks down proteins, carbohydrates and fats in an alkaline environment), mycozyme (breaks down starches), papain (digests proteins), bromelain (digests protein) and bile salts (emulsifies fats and prepares them for breakdown by lipase). Stock No (120) capsules Retail $24.25 Member Price $16.15 Some Chlorophyll Tips: liquid Chlorophyll harvests the green chlorophyll from a natural plant source and contains 100% natural spearmint oil. For a refreshing, purifying drink, mix 1 teaspoonful into 8 oz. pure water. Use Liquid Chlorophyll in the morning to help your mouth feel fresher. An estimated 30 million Americans suffer from occasional constipation or sluggish bowels. To combat the problem, over half a billion dollars are spent annually on over-the-counter laxatives, which often produce harsh side effects and only limited results. What Are Enzymes? Enzymes are specialized proteins that instigate important chemical reactions in the body. The body produces digestive enzymes that break food down into usable forms: proteins peptides and amino acids carbohydrates monosaccharides and smaller polysaccharides fats fatty acids and glycerol As we age, our bodies begin to produce fewer of these necessary enzymes. And, depending on our dietary choices, we get little or no help from the foods we eat. Raw or perishable foods like fresh fruit and vegetables contain natural enzymes that help the stomach and digestive tract break down food. Processed foods (anything that you can store on the shelf for more than a week) contain little or no enzymes, so the body must rely on its own ability to digest foods. I was having a terrible time digesting most foods after my gallbladder was removed, plus I suffered from serious indigestion issues. I began taking Food Enzymes and LBS II. I am now able to eat lettuce and popcorn without problems. Sandy C. More than Just Digestion Food Enzymes offers more complete digestive support when taken with meals. Taken between meals, Food Enzymes works systemically to break down proteins associated with joint health, arterial health and immune activation. 2 To order, contact your Nature s Sunshine Herb Specialist.

5 6 7 8 Super Omega-3 EPA EFAs The Essence of Heart and Brain Health Your body derives four basic fats from foods. Some of these especially saturated fat have earned a bad reputation in recent years. In truth, however, good fats called essential fatty acids, or EFAs are required by the body for optimal health. Omega-3 fatty acids and other EFAs are not made by the body, so they must be found through diet or supplementation. Super Omega-3 EPA softgels contain 1,000 mg fish oil, which provides generous amounts of two beneficial fatty acids, EPA and DHA. Consuming omega-3 fatty acids like EPA and DHA may reduce one s risk of coronary heart disease. Though not conclusive, the FDA has evaluated the scientific data and determined that there is evidence supporting this claim. Stock No (60 softgels) Retail $32.95 Member Price $21.95 Super Supplemental Vitamins & Minerals A Super Way to Supplement Your Daily Diet Super Supplemental has been a sound, well-balanced formula and one of our best-selling products since 1986!

Stock No (100 tablets) Retail $33.40 Member Price $22.25 Stock No (60 tablets) Retail $20.65 Member Price $13.75 Benefits of Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acids Brain health. Essential fatty acids especially DHA help maintain the composition of brain tissue. Cardiovascular health. EPA and DHA fatty acids support heart health and function. Cell membranes. Omega-3s are key components of healthy, flexible cell membranes. Structural health. Omega-3s help keep joints healthy, and may increase calcium absorption, which is vital to the integrity of the bones. Super Omega-3 EPA provides EPA and DHA, fatty acids that are less prone to oxidation in the body, and which, in turn, may help lower plasma triglycerides and raise HDL (good cholesterol) levels. Low-density lipoprotein oxidation has been implicated as a negative factor in coronary heart health. Since EPA and DHA are less prone to oxidation than other fatty acids, their presence helps reduce oxidation of these lipoproteins. Consumption of food that is fried in oil particularly unsaturated oils increases the workload on the body in dealing with lipid oxidation products. Diets with sufficient tocopherols, carotenoids and polyphenols can help prevent undesirable lipid oxidation. Paul Peaden, Research Leader, NSP R&D Dept. A survey conducted by the American Psychological Association (APA) found that Americans often resort to unhealthy behaviors such as comfort eating, poor diet choices, smoking and inactivity to help deal with stress. The survey results agree with research that shows 43 percent of adults suffer adverse health effects because of stress.

6 9 EverFlex with Hyaluronic Acid Keep the joints flexible Joint health issues sure put a damper on an active lifestyle tennis elbow, runner s knee, swimmer s shoulder. Healthy joints are vital to overall wellbeing. Aging, poor diet and overuse can underscore the importance of joint health maintenance. EverFlex formula benefits the structural system and supports healthy joints. It offers the nutritional advantages of glucosamine, chondroitin, hyaluronic acid and MSM combined with devil s claw herb in one convenient tablet. Glucosamine protects connective tissues, helps maintain the integrity and mobility of joints, and helps lubricate joints by replenishing synovial fluid, which promotes a joint s shock-absorbing abilities. Chondroitin sulfate attracts fluid and draws nutrients into the cartilage, making the cartilage more shock absorbent. It also promotes growth and normal tissue generation and keeps enzymes in balance. Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is present in many fresh foods, but it is destroyed through cooking, processing and storage. Supplementing with this nutrient ensures an adequate supply of sulfur an important structural component of the connective tissue that joins muscle to bone. Hyaluronic acid is an important component of cartilage and synovial fluid that occurs naturally throughout the body. This molecule plays a crucial role in joint motion, the maintenance of joint homeostasis, skin support, and the maintenance of viscosity and elasticity of the fluid surrounding the joints. EverFlex also contains devil s claw, an herb long used to support joint health. Stock No (60 tablets) Retail $38.65 Member Price $ Bifidophilus Flora Force Providing billions of friendly microflora Every body is home to friendly bacteria that perform vital roles in the digestion of foods, absorption of nutrients and in promoting immunity. Maintaining these friendly populations is critical to overall health, though they are often damaged or depleted by stress, diet, aging and illness. Probiotic supplements help replenish the populations of these friendly intestinal flora. Taking quality supplements can immediately provide you with improved health and added protection. Bifidophilus Flora Force contains four strains of beneficial microflora to help strengthen and replenish the friendly flora population in the gut. Lactobacillus acidophilus helps in the production of enzymes, which enhances the assimilation of nutrients. Among other things, it produces certain vitamins and lactase and competes with other, less-friendly microorganisms for food and living space in the colon. It helps enhance elimination and assist white blood cells. Bifidobacterium longum secretes acids that help maintain a stable microbiological environment. Bifidophilus Flora Force also includes L. casei and L. rhamnosus (for immune system support) plus fructooligosaccharides to support the growth of beneficial organisms. Stock No (90 capsules) Retail $26.95 Member Price $17.95 More and more research is showing that probiotics in general are immune-system enhancers. Source: I didn t know what to do for the lack of flexibility in my knee. I started taking EverFlex and within two weeks, I was able to resume my regular workouts, which includes lifting and squatting free weights. Patricia B. Probiotics and Prebiotics Probiotics are live microorganisms that, when ingested, provide a health benefit to their host. For that reason, they are sometimes called beneficial bacteria or friendly flora. Prebiotics also provide benefits. They are indigestible components of foods that stimulate the growth of friendly bacteria. Bifidophilus Flora Force contains both probiotics (L. acidophilus, B. longum, L. casei and L. rhamnosus) and prebiotics (fructooligosaccharides). Probiotics in Your Grocery Store As evidence builds for the benefits of friendly microflora to the intestinal system, probiotic supplements have become more widespread. You can even find probiotic supplementation in many mainstream foods at your local grocery store. For instance, while most yogurts contain some level of active cultures, every major brand of yogurt now carries lines with extra probiotic strength. You ll also find probiotics in some fermented milk or juice products, and in miso, tempeh and fermented grain or soybean products. However, the FDA does not require food manufacturers to list the amount of probiotics in their products. 4 To order, contact your Nature s Sunshine Herb Specialist.

10 22 Skeletal Strength Keeping your foundation strong Bones are living tissue. In addition to providing structural support, they store minerals for use in times of special needs like growth. In order to maintain structural integrity and keep minerals in our bones, we need a constant supply of these nutrients. Skeletal Strength provides them. Its essential nutrients increase the body s ability to repair tissue and maintain cellular integrity. Calcium helps build bone strength, normalize muscle contraction and regulate nerve function. Magnesium governs the proper utilization of calcium in joints, bones, muscles and nerves. Boron, copper and zinc help build and maintain strong bones and muscles. Iron and manganese are essential for calcium absorption and blood building. Vitamin A promotes the efficient use of calcium. Vitamin D aids bone mineralization and increases calcium absorption. Vitamin C helps cement cells together with collagen. Vitamin B6 is used by the body to manufacture proteins needed for strong bones, new red blood cell production and energy. Vitamin B12 contributes to hemoglobin production. Stock No (150 tablets) Retail $20.80 Member Price $13.85 Bone Regeneration Although bones typically stop growing in size during the teenage years, the growing process continues as bones continually rebuild themselves. Bones contain two types of cells osteoblasts and osteoclasts which work together to build new bone material on the outside and remove old material on the inside. To sustain this regenerative effort, the body must receive sufficient supplies of calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D. During shortages of these nutrients in the bloodstream, the body will remove them from the bones, which can lead to weak and porous bones. Keeping Your Structural System Strong lead an active life. Weight-bearing exercise is especially important for maintaining strong bones and stable joints. Also, focus on your core muscles to build a solid foundation. Stand up straight.

11 Adrenal Support Give Your Adrenal Gland a Hand The adrenals produce hormones that help balance blood sugar, which helps your body to manage the daily ebbs and flows of energy. When blood sugar drops, the adrenals release hormones that cause it to rise, increasing energy. When you re under stress, the adrenals again release hormones in an effort to increase energy. This second reaction can be described as the fight or flight response. Being under consistent stress takes a toll on the adrenal glands, and eventually, they run out of steam and stop producing sufficient hormones. Adrenal Support helps maintain normal adrenal function by supporting the body s ability to regulate stress. Adrenal Support is formulated with powdered bovine adrenal gland from New Zealand, along with a synergistic blend of vitamins, minerals, enzymes and adaptogenic herbs. These ingredients include vitamins B1, B2, B6, pantothenic acid and vitamin C, plus zinc, protease, borage oil powder, licorice root and schizandra fruit.

The Problem with Constipation The digestive system is designed to extract the nutrients from the food we eat and pass along the waste. The colon simultaneously pushes digested matter along and reabsorbs water and mineral salts. When food moves too slowly or stops in the colon, some of the toxic waste that should be eliminated may be reabsorbed into the body. What is Healthy Elimination? Natural health experts recommend three bowel movements a day. You eat three times a day, shouldn t you eliminate just as much? Anything less may indicate a sluggish bowel. ALJ has been a wonderful addition to our daily supplements. My husband was having trouble with seasonal challenges both in the spring and fall. I wanted a safe product for him. We heard about ALJ and started using it right away. What a blessing! Sally Peterson, Tomahawk, Wis. 9

NSP s Psyllium Hulls Combination, contains psyllium an excellent source of fiber along with hibiscus flower and licorice root. Psyllium is an annual herb native to Mediterranean climates. Psyllium hulls have a remarkable ability to absorb water many times their own weight, which makes them swell. This exerts a gentle pressure on intestinal walls, stimulating them to contract normally. Psyllium s ability to absorb bowel toxins, along with the natural action of the bowel, works to keep the walls of the intestine clear of debris. Stock No (13 oz.) Retail $30.75 Member Price $20.50 The Fiber Award Goes to Psyllium Nature s Sunshine s Psyllium Hulls contains the highest level of soluble fiber of any natural grain eight times as much as oat bran. Psyllium More than Just Bulk Psyllium Hulls Combination has benefits beyond its bulking action. When taken with a meal, psyllium hulls slow digestion and absorption so sugars from food enter the bloodstream more slowly, which helps blood sugar levels remain balanced. This may be an advantage for those who know they have overindulged. 30 Colloidal Minerals Fiber and the Heart According to the American Heart Association, 50 percent of middleaged Americans have dangerously high levels of blood cholesterol, a contributing factor to the high rate of cardiovascular disease in the U.S. Scientific research has shown that cutting down on fats and increasing the amount of soluble fiber in the diet can significantly reduce these levels. But getting enough soluble fiber into the diet can be tricky. Most foods only contain small amounts of fiber. Even oat bran contains a mere 7 percent soluble fiber Nature s Sunshine Products 75 East 1700 South Provo, Utah Stock No Recharge Your Body s Battery Colloidal Minerals contains naturally chelated trace minerals extracted from the plant vegetation of an ancient seabed.
