VITAMIN B- COMPLEX - A group of vitamins most noted for their importance to health nervous system function. This combination contains 100% or more of the USRDA for all eight B vitamins in the synergistic herb base.

BEE POLLEN - Contains up to 35% complete protein, as well as 22 amino acids, an especially rich storehouse of B vitamins, 27 mineral salts, trace elements and several enzymes.

MULTIPLE VITAMINS AND MINERALS - Contains 100% of the USRDA for 16 essential vitamins and minerals.

GRAPINE WITH PROTECTORS - Grapine is derived from the bark of a select pine tree and grape seed. Studies have shown that the proanthocyanidins in Grapine are up to 50 times more powerful as antioxidants than vitamin E. Proanthocyanidins are similar to compounds in bilberry. Unlike other antioxidants, they cross the blood-brain barrier to neutralize free radicals in vital brain and nerve tissues. Each tablet provides 15 mg of proanthocyanidins.

SPIRULINA - Spirulina is 65-71% complete protein, compared to beef's 22% protein. The algae is a source of all eight amino acids needed by the body, as well as chelated minerals, natural plant sugars, trace minerals and enzymes, in an easily assimilated form. Specifically, spirulina contains potassium, calcium, zinc, magnesium, manganese, selenium, iron, and phosphorus. It is also rich in chlorophyll. It can also be used as a pre-meal supplement. It is one of the few plant sources of vitamin B12, a teaspoon supplying 2- 1/2 times the USRDA allowance for that nutrient, making it an excellent nutritional supplement for vegetarians, whose diets usually lack vitamin B 12. Spirulina naturally contains the essential amino acids methionine and l-lysine.

VITAMIN A & D - Vitamin A was the first vitamin to be discovered and has been shown to be essential in maintaining good vision and promoting normal growth. It is necessary for the health of epithelial cells and the immune system. It is also required for the digestion of protein. It is essential for lactation, reproduction and the formation of steroid hormones. It is used to form the cells lining the digestive, respiratory, reproductive and urinary tracts and all tissue linings of the body. It is also vital for healthy skin and famous as an antioxidant. it is best absorbed by the body with oil or fat. Each capsule contains 25,000 IU of vitamin A derived from fish oils, 500% of the USRDA. Vitamin D works synergistically with vitamin A, preferring a 7:1 ratio. It has a role in absorbing and regulating calcium and phosphorus. It also helps build strong bones, teeth and skin. It is vital to the health of the nervous system and kidneys. It can be derived from the sun's action on oils secreted and reabsorbed by the skin, but the more tanned the skin, the less that is absorbed. Also, the older the skin the less active in producing vitamin D. This vitamin helps the body synthesize protein and incorporate magnesium into bone/teeth structures. Each capsule contains 1,000 IU of vitamin D, which is 250% of the USRDA.

CHEWABLE VITAMIN C - Each wafer supplies 416% of the USRDA (250 mg.)

VITAMIN E - Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin that is an antioxidant, helping to preserve fats and oils from becoming rancid. It is the most common vitamin found in nature and is lacking in processed foods. This vitamin helps to increase the fluidity of the blood and is necessary for structural and functional maintenance of the skeletal, cardiac and smooth muscle membranes. It also helps maintain vitamin A and increase its storage in the body, and does the same for iron. This vitamin exists in several in several chemical forms, the most active being d-alpha tocopherol. The "di" form is synthetic, and is not sold by Nature's Sunshine; rather, vegetable sources are used which contain other naturally occurring tocopherols (d-beta, d-gamma, d-alpha) to ensure full potency of the entire vitamin E complex. Each hermetically sealed capsule of vitamin E (100 IU) is in a base of cold-pressed soybean oil.

ZINC - More zinc is found in the body than any other trace element except for iron. Relatively large amounts are found in bone and muscle, and also the prostate and retina. It is involved in sugar metabolism and the mineral seems to be easily lost from the system. Pregnant and lactating women require more than other women. this product is derived from zinc gluconate for more efficient absorption. it is combined to complement its benefits by means of a rich, natural base of kelp plant, thyme herb and alfalfa herb. Each tablet contains 25 mg of zinc, which is 166% of the USRDA.

LIQUID CHLOROPHYLL - Chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants that harnesses the sun's energy in photosynthesis. Chlorophyll is to plants what blood is to humans -- it performs metabolic functions such as respiration and growth. The alfalfa plant, from which Nature's Sunshine's magnesium-rich chlorophyll comes, is an excellent source of chlorophyll. Nature's Sunshine offers chlorophyll in both liquid and capsules for varying needs.
