For Gut, Pain & Metabolic Health
Why I Trust Nature’s Sunshine Vitamins
Nature’s Sunshine Products takes the worry out of purchasing supplements, vitamins, and herbs. We often hear about supplements and the companies that market them. How can we determine which ones offer the highest-quality, well-researched products? When I began using Nature’s Sunshine Products in 1996, I did my research. I found that their commitment to quality and potency goes way beyond that of other companies, truly setting them apart.
They’ve shared the healing power of herbs since 1972 and offer 400+ expertly formulated supplements used by practitioners worldwide. The founders, Gene and Kristine Hughes, were the first ever to encapsulate an herb! They began as a small business in their own home, expanding and growing over the past 45 years to become the industry leader it is today.

My Personal Healing Story
My journey with Nature’s Sunshine began in 1996 when I got an ear and sinus infection after cleaning the gutters at my house. After multiple visits to the ENT and several prescriptions that didn’t help, a coworker suggested I see an “herb guy.”
He recommended a few products to support my respiratory system, and within days, I noticed improvement. After completing a full 90 days, the infection cleared, and I experienced firsthand the power of herbs when used correctly and consistently.
That experience changed everything for me. It inspired me to study natural health, become a Herbalist, a Gut Health Coach, and a Certified Natural Health Professional, and to begin sharing Nature’s Sunshine products with others. Today, I still trust their quality and recommend them to my clients because I’ve seen the results — both personally and professionally — for nearly 30 years.

How Long Should You Take Herbal Supplements
It’s important to note that herbs aren’t quick fixes. When I was taking my natural health classes, my teacher, the herbalist, always said:
“Herbs always work as long as you take enough of them for a long enough period of time.”
I discovered this when I took my first herbs back in 1996. Although I felt better relatively quickly, I stuck with them for 90 days to fully address my concerns.
If you are new to herbs, for the best results, take the herbs or supplement for at least 60 or 90 days before making a conclusion. Give the herb time to work! For a gentle start, many people pair their supplements with a short detox like the 👉10-Day Gut Detox or the 👉 5-Day Sugar Detox
to reset the digestive system before adding new nutrients.
