The Nature's Sunshine Story...Thirty years of Success! Nature's Sunshine Products began as a kitchen table enterprise for Gene and Kristine Hughes and other members of the Hughes family in Provo, Utah. Their first efforts involved hand filling capsicum herb powder into small empty capsules. Working for three successive nights, the family managed to produce 3000 capsules. A friend printed some labels. Not counting the many hours of labour, the 30 bottles of capsicum represented an investment of $30. Six bottles were sold to a health food store and the rest to a grocery store for $1.15 per bottle. The grand total of their profit, excluding the man hours invested, was an astounding $4.50. From this humble beginning in 1972, the Hughes' operation blossomed into an international corporation with distributors in all 50 states, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Mexico and the United Kingdom, with export sales to many other countries. Nature's Sunshine is universally recognized as the industry leader in terms of quality control. Achieving a quality product is no accident. It means planning, commitment and responsibility for quality during all phases of the production process. Indeed, product quality is the secret that has made Nature's Sunshine a consistent winner among health minded consumers. And the number of health minded consumers continues to increase. More than ever, individuals are taking an active role in their health, looking for the best ways to maintain personal well being. Building on its success with herbs, the company extended the product line to include vitamins, nutritional supplements and dietary aids, homeopathic remedies, skin and hair care products and water treatment systems. Today, there are more than 400 natural products, all designed to promote health and vitality. Nature's Sunshine has long been recognized as, and remains, a world leader throughout the health and nutrition industry. |
