Brimming with Health
Black or green, tea is brimming with heart-healthy benefits.
Compounds in green and black teas have a healthful impact on several markers
of heart disease risk, but debate continues as to which kind of tea is
healthiest. Recent research suggests it may be a dead heat. In a study, green
and black tea appeared equally protective against fatty arterial plaque buildup.

Acne Gel is Terrific!!!!
I am allergic to Benzoyl Peroxide products, and being a Beauty Consultant, I
had tried many acne products, but each time I had a huge allergic reaction to
any acne lotion.
I finally realized that there were other products with Salicytic Acid as the
active ingredient, so I tried this acid and found my face tolerated this
chemical well. But no other manufacturer’s product would keep the acne at bay. I
still continued to break out all through the month. I finally bought the Acne
Gel by Nature’s Sunshine and used it twice a day all over my face. Within a
month I had no new break outs, and by the time I finished the tube, my acne was
completely gone. That was two months ago.
Recently, a few pimples started to come back again, so I believe this product
should be used periodically to keep the acne under control. Lynda N.

The Paw Paw Tree and Cellular Health
For the past 25 years, Nature’s Sunshine’s Vice President of R&D/QA and Chief
Scientific Officer, Dr. Jerry McLaughlin, has researched acetogenins and their
role in cellular protection. During that time, he has published over 100
articles and studies related to the health benefits of these compounds that are
found naturally in certain herbs. A recent clinical study with over 100
participants shows that the extract (containing a mixture of acetogenins) may
support the body’s cells during times of cellular stress. McLaughlin has led the
development of a patent-pending product, Paw Paw Cell-Reg™, that harvests the
nutritional support that acetogenins provide to maintain cell health.
What are acetogenins?
Acetogenins are active compounds that affect the production of ATP (Adenosine
Triphosphate) in the mitochondria (the powerhouse) of the cell. ATP is our
cells’, and hence our body’s, major source of energy. Acetogenins modulate the
production of ATP.
How do they work?
The energy-inhibiting properties of acetogenins help regulate specific cells
in four ways:
Modulates the production of cellular energy.
All cells use energy. Specific cells require significantly more energy than
other cells. The major source of energy for cells comes in the form of ATP.
Because acetogenins modulate the production of ATP in the mitochondria, specific
cells, which are programmed to replicate and metabolize up to 17 times the speed
of other cells, do not thrive in the presence of acetogenins. Certain cells are
particularly susceptible to the effects of acetogenins, while hearty cells
remain unaffected.
Helps modulate the growth of blood vessels near specific cells. In order for
cells to thrive and grow, they need a supply of food and oxygen. Blood vessels
form to supply this need. This new vessel growth (angiogenesis) requires ATP;
thus, ATP reduction affects the growth of new vessels that nourish the
concentrations of specific cells.
Enhances the effectiveness of common medical treatments for cellular damage.
Abnormal cells are often able to recognize and reject familiar chemicals. This
often makes them resistant to continued common treatments because when the
chemical enters the cell, the cell pumps the chemical back out before it
delivers its desired effect. This pump is dependent upon ATP. The pump will stop
when its supply of ATP dwindles. If the chemical can stay in the cell, the
treatment will be more effective.
Reduces the amount of materials available to allow for cellular division. ATP
is an essential precursor to DNA and RNA—genetic material or the cell’s
blueprints that dictate all the actions and structure of the cell. Without
duplication of these substances, cells cannot divide. Lowered levels of ATP—an
essential building block of these nucleic acids—affect rapid cell proliferation.
Where are they found?
The most potent available source of acetogenins is the paw paw tree (Asimina
triloba). This tree is native to the eastern United States. Though acetogenins
are found throughout the paw paw tree, the twigs contain the most concentrated
amount of acetogenins, especially when they are harvested when they are most
biologically active. Watch for more information about the paw paw tree and NSP
products containing paw paw.

Lavender Fine Pure Essential Oil
Lavender Fine Pure Essential Oil (Lavandula angustifolia, steam distilled,
AOC) has long been considered the wonder oil of essential oils because of its
versatility. Lavender’s cool, mellow, peaceful fragrance has traditionally been
used for its balancing effects and soothing properties. Lavender is good for all
skin types, even sensitive skin, and can be used undiluted topically.
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. Many companies manufacture aloe vera, but
most products on the market have lost much of the plant’s original benefits due
to over-processing.
Used externally, aloe is known for its hydrating
and moisturizing properties. 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.

Natria Moisture Full Body Wash is a nutrient-rich formula that provides an
energized and revitalized look to the skin with a soft, lathering gel. It
protects against dryness with conditioning cleansers and penetrating hydrators.
Cleansing agents derived from natural sources gently and effectively clean the
skin. Aloe, green tea leaf extract, stinging nettle and other herbal and
botanical extracts indulge skin with nourishing properties. Vitamins A, B, C and
E soak into the skin where they deposit free-radical fighting antioxidants.
Moisture Full Body Wash leaves your skin thoroughly clean, moisturized and
refreshed. In shower or bath, squeeze a generous amount into hands or onto a
washcloth or shower sponge. Lather over entire body. Rinse thoroughly.
