Introducing Co-Enzyme Q10 50 mg Softgels

As technology advances,

we learn more about the human body and how it works. We also gather details about how supplements are utilized in the body. This type of advancement can lead to innovative change and newer, better products, like our new Co-Q10 50 mg softgels. Co-Q10 is a vitamin-like substance present in every cell in the body. It is vital for cellular energy, cardiovascular health and longevity. Co-Q10 helps reduce oxidative stress in all cells throughout the body and especially contributes to the health of the heart, kidneys, liver and pancreas. Usually after age 30, the body’s production of Co-Q10 declines, which creates a need for supplementation in some people.

Co-Q10 material is often found in a crystalline state, which is less-absorbable by the body. Some manufacturers begin their processes with a crystal-free form of Co-Q10. But after processing, the Co-Q10 re-crystallizes inside their softgel capsule. To avoid this, certain manufacturers use solvents in their products. But these solvents may interfere with absorption or cause other issues.

Nature’s Sunshine’s new formula uses a patented lipid blend to keep Co-Q10 from crystallizing and yields maximum bioavailability. Take 1 softgel with a meal daily for circulatory support. This product replaces Co-Q 10 75 mg and Co-Q10 30 mg.

Our MOst BiOavailaBle

CO-Q10 Yet! Ours is up to eight times more absorbable than the crystal version! a double-blind human clinical trial showed that Nature’s sunshine’s Co-Q10 50 mg was at least eight times more readily absorbed than competing products. Our 50 mg crystal-free liquid is equivalent to 400 mg of CO-Q10 powder. are you getting your money’s worth?

Getting adequate levels of omega-3 fatty acids is one of the best things you can do for your heart. Omega-3s, commonly found in cold water fish as well as some fruits and vegetables, are vital to the health of the cell membrane and also contribute to cardiovascular, brain and structural system health. Nature’s Sunshine is pleased to announce the addition of Krill Oil with Vitamin K2 and Astaxanthin to our line of heart-healthful products. Krill oil is a source of highly bioavailable omega-3 fatty acids extracted from Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) that contains phospholipids, which bind to the omega-3s allowing for better absorption. These phospholipids are an essential component of all cell membranes, keeping toxins out and letting more nutrients and oxygen in. Krill oil also contains natural astaxanthin, a powerful antioxidant, and NSP Krill Oil adds the cardiovascular benefits of vitamin K2.

Features and Benefits of Krill Oil with Vitamin K2 and Astaxanthin: • Contains omega-3 fatty acids. • Maintains cardiovascular health. • Supports healthy brain function. • Provides joint and skin support. • Is extracted from Antarctic krill.

WhAT iS ANTArcTic Krill? Krill represents the largest biomass on earth with an estimated 500 to 800 million tons of krill in the oceans. Krill are tiny crustaceans that are a critical food source for whales, penguins and other ocean animals. Antarctic krill are the most robust and sustainable source of krill. Because krill are such a vital species to the oceanic ecosystems, harvesting is highly regulated. Trawling is only allowed during the main season and only 1% of the allowable limit is actually harvested. These restrictions ensure that the krill population remains sustainable.

From the beginning, NSP has dedicated its

efforts to giving people the natural products and

information they need to improve their physical

and financial health. As part of our commitment to

making the world a healthier, happier place, we strive

to find ways to lessen our environmental impact and

contribute to the health and well-being of those in great

need! This article presents a few more reasons why you can

be proud to be part of Nature’s Sunshine.

—Greg Halliday, President, U.S. Division

Nature’s Sunshine Products is proud to be both environmentally and socially conscious. We’d like to illustrate this with some examples.

Packaging Bottles. All of our plastic bottles—including our polycarbonate water

bottles and those used for supplements—are recyclable. Our glass bottles are made from 40% recycled glass. Shipping boxes. Our shipping boxes are composed of 30–40% post-consumer recycled material. All corrugated cardboard that doesn’t leave the plant (e.g. shipped to customers) is used for storage or recycled (375,000 lbs. yearly). Molded pulp cushions that protect glass bottles are made from 100% post-consumer recycled paper. Revamped Packaging. We recently changed the containers for Nutri-Burn® and SynerProTein® from hard plastic jars to gusseted plastic sacks. These bags protect the product inside and use less of the earth’s resources. They also take less fuel to ship because they are lighter and take up less pallet space. These new bags also feature

water-based inks. Some companies in the industry use solvents to manufacture this type of bag. Solvents can impact the earth when emitted after use. NSP contracts with manufacturers that do not use solvents. Stuffer paper. We stuff our order boxes with paper that is 50% post-consumer recycled material.

Products NSP Sunshine Concentrate all-purpose cleaner contains a biodegradable surfactant. That means that the product does not contain ingredients that can accumulate in the environment (like phosphate-containing soaps).

Spring is a great time to get excited about the NSP Boomerang Air & Surface Sanitizer. Before the pollen and dander really start to fly, get a Boomerang, and start sanitizing your home and office air! The patented Boomerang uses special nano-sized metals, including silver, that react with photons from ultraviolet light to create millions of negative ions. Positively charged particles in the air (bacteria, viruses, pollen, dust) are drawn to negative ions. Neutralized particles fall to the floor to be vacuumed up. And, negative ions neutralize airborne organisms on a cellular level so they cannot reproduce. The Boomerang Air & Surface Sanitizer: •Killsairbornemicrobesandneutralizespollen

BACKED BY SCIENCE! Researchers at West Texas A&M University found that Silver+ PCo technology purifies the air and sanitizes surfaces. They measured tremendous reductions in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) on surfaces after using Boomerang technology. The study also measured a 75% reduction in fungus/mold, bacteria, viruses and aeroallergens (pollen) after just eight hours of use!

HERE’S WHAT CUSToMERS SAY ABoUT THE NSP BooMERANg.

“While attending National Convention in Las Vegas, I ordered both the Boomerang and the Air Quality Test Kit. When the kit arrived, I went right to work in my master bedroom. The ‘before’ petri dish is quite disgusting-looking and disturbing. Three days after running the Boomerang constantly, I tested again. WOW, what a difference!! I felt it was safe to take a deep breath in my master bedroom! “Thank you for the development of the Boomerang, and thank you for giving me the opportunity to share my story!”

Mignonne R.

“We conducted an air quality test at a company that offers water exercise and therapeutic massage for injured dogs. The high humidity in their business is a great environment for mold. We tested the air before we started, then we ran the Boomerang for two days and tested again. Our customer was convinced, and we sold a Boomerang unit to them.”

Nick S.

“We decided to test the air quality at a house we are remodeling. We saw a definite reduction in the amount of bacteria growing after we ran the Boomerang.”

Angelica P., Cedar grove, Wis.

“Using the Boomerang has kept my home smelling clean and seems to have reduced the dust in my home. We live near a limestone driveway that can produce a lot of dust.”

Kristine D., ND, CNHP

“I had been having air quality concerns for a long time. My husband and I purchased a Boomerang Air Sanitizer from NSP. Within one hour, I could hardly believe the difference. I am grateful to Nature’s Sunshine and to my upline manager Jay for this.”

“Achieving Regional Manager has been an exciting and fulfilling journey. Not only have we had the opportunity to travel all over the world, but we have been able to help others and enhance many lives along the way using high-quality products and the awesome business-building program. NSP is truly an amazing company, and we are fortunate be a part of it.”

“I am extremely grateful to have been introduced to Nature’s Sunshine by a naturopath 10 years ago. It has changed the health of our three sons, especially considering I had been given a grim prognosis by the medical world for one son. They are all healthy and well now, and I praise God for leading me to the answers found in nature. NSP has given me the incentive to become an herbalist and iridologist and the financial freedom to do what I love. I spend five days a week consulting others on the same path now.”

“Nature’s Sunshine has enabled us to fulfill our dream of owning a family business and ministering to others. Helping people with health and wealth through NSP has been fun, exciting and rewarding. Thank you!”

“My journey began with NSP in 2005 with health challenges. I have Crohn’s Disease and suffered for many years until I was introduced to a Certified Natural Health Professional who represented Nature’s Sunshine. I started taking the products and my life changed. Friends started asking me what I was doing, and that’s how my business started. Then people kept sending others my way, so I decided to become an herbalist. “Two years ago, I purchased my first business cards and now I am so blessed with an at-home business. I can be as involved as I want with my family life and help others at the same time. How incredible is that!!! Thanks, NSP, for helping so many people and making the best products available.”
