I’m a vegetarian and don’t like to take gelatin capsules. How can I still get the benefits of what’s in the capsule??

Nature’s Sunshine gelatin capsules can be twisted open and the contents made into a tea, or sprinkled on food for those desiring not to swallow a capsule.

Why do some tablets have a speckled look??

Speckles may be visible in some tablets and are due to the natural plant materials or ingredients. Providing the product is still within its expiration period and has been stored according to label directions you shouldn’t be concerned.

Why is there sometimes a colour variation in capsules from bottle to bottle??

Herbs are a natural plant material and therefore colour variations may occur from batch to batch. Don’t be alarmed as Nature’s Sunshine’s strict Quality Assurance methods ensure each herb undergoes a microscopic evaluation to determine and validate exactly which plant species and plant part is being used before it goes into the capsule or tablet.

Why should I take my herb capsules or supplements with meals??

The presence of food in the stomach stimulates the production of acids and enzymes that are needed for digestion and proper absorption of nutrients. It doesn’t really matter which meal you take them with, some people prefer breakfast and dinner for convenience. Whether you take herbs or supplements before or after a meal doesn’t really matter either, the only exception being digestive enzymes, such as our Protein Digestive Aid, and liver stimulant herbs which should be taken before meals.
