Benefits: •Enhances the efforts of other antioxidants. •Encourages energy production. •Supports blood sugar levels already within the normal range. •Protects the liver. •Supports the cardiovascular system. •Supports nerve cell health.
Alpha Lipoic Acid [Nervous, Glandular] is often called the universal antioxidant. It has both fat- and water-soluble properties and can cross any membrane in the body. Consequently, alpha lipoic acid can protect the integrity of the cell membrane as well as offset cell stress.
Alpha lipoic acid also promotes mitochondrial activity to help keep your body and its tissues vibrant. It also enhances the efforts of other antioxidants and helps support the body’s natural removal of toxins.
In addition to its antioxidant properties, alpha lipoic acid directs calories away from fat production and toward energy production, supports blood sugar levels already within the normal range and enhances the nervous and cardiovascular systems.
NSP Alpha Lipoic Acid is formulated with turmeric, a liver-protecting antioxidant.
Benefits: •Stimulates the immune system in a multitude of ways. •Protects the heart against oxidative and free radical damage.
Astragalus [Immune, Circulatory] root has been used to promote immune function and as a tonic to build stamina. Ancient Chinese texts record the use of astragalus for tonifying the spleen, blood and chi.
Astragalus contains saponins, sterols, flavonoids, isoflavones and polysaccharides that have health-promoting benefits.
Astragalus root may stimulate the immune system in many ways. It promotes the production of stem cells in bone marrow and lymph tissue and encourages their development into active immune cells. It appears to help trigger immune cells from a “resting” state into heightened activity.
One study showed that astragalus root helps promote and maintain respiratory function. It also enhances the body’s production of immunoglobulin and stimulates macrophages. Astragalus can help activate T cells and natural killer cells.
Several studies also show that astragalus demonstrates heart benefits, including protection against oxidative cellular damage. The flavonoids, saponins and polysaccharides found in astragalus root help minimize free radical damage on membranes.
Bilberry Fruit Concentrate [Vital Nutrition]. Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) is also known in some parts of the U.S. as huckleberry. During World War II, British pilots ate bilberries before their night flights to nutritionally support their vision. Bilberry also supports the circulatory system.
Its active constituents include anthocyanins, which are strong antioxidants. Nature’s Sunshine uses 40 mg of bilberry fruit standardized to 25 percent anthocyanins.
Bilberry should be used over time in order for the body to best assimilate its unique nutritional properties.
Each tablet contains 40 mg bilberry fruit concentrate.
Black Currant Oil [Immune] contains gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) along with other important polyunsaturated fatty acids.
Fatty acids are involved in many bodily functions, such as maintaining body temperature, insulating nerves, cushioning and protecting tissues and creating energy. These essential fatty acids are precursors of prostaglandins, which must be present for functions involved with blood vessels, maintaining arterial pressure already within the normal range, metabolizing dietary cholesterol, activating T-lymphocytes, protecting against platelet aggregation and other functions. Before the discovery of black currant oil, the only other known sources of GLA were mother’s milk and evening primrose oil.
Each black currant oil capsule provides 40–45 mg GLA per serving, that’s 12 percent GLA (more than evening primrose oil). It contains two essential fatty acids—linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid—and the unique stearidonic acid.
Blessed Thistle [Glandular] historically has been used to support the female reproductive system, improve digestion and support liver function. It contains sesquiterpene lactones (support digestion) and lignans.
Each capsule contains 325 mg blessed thistle aerial parts.
Benefits: •Provides potent antioxidant properties. •Supports and maintains blood vessels. •Encourages optimal blood flow. •Promotes blood flow in the peripheral arteries. •Helps maintain normal blood viscosity.
Blood Pressurex [Circulatory]. Blood Pressurex is a blend of essential and natural ingredients that may help the body maintain blood pressure levels already within the normal range. The main ingredients of this formula are the powerful herbs Coleus forskohlii, olive leaf extract, hawthorn berries extract and golden rod; the amino acid arginine; and the potent antioxidants vitamin E and grape seed extract.
Potent grape seed extract contains an array of bioflavonoids, antioxidants and polyphenols, including resveratrol. Studies show that grape seed extract may support blood pressure and may contribute to overall cardiovascular health.
All of these ingredients combine to help protect blood vessels, promote blood flow in the peripheral arteries and inhibit cell damage. All of these benefits are made possible due to their potent antioxidant properties.
CAUTION: Consult your health care provider before using this product if you are currently taking prescription medication(s) for high blood pressure or if your blood pressure is above normal (diastolic reading above 90). Do not discontinue use of your prescription medication(s) without your doctor’s approval.
Adults: Take 1 capsule with a meal three times daily.
Blood Build, Chinese [Circulatory] is a Chinese combination of 18 herbs designed to nutritionally support the blood, liver, glands and general circulation. The Chinese call this formula bu xue, which translates as “to nurture the blood.” It is designed to strengthen a weakened wood constitution.
This formula may improve blood quality and purity and help strengthen the immune system. Primary herbs include dang gui, alisma, peony, ganoderma and atractylodes.
The combination includes: Ganoderma mushroom Lycium fruit Peony root without bark Tang-kuei root Bupleurum root Cornus fruit without seeds Curcuma root tuber Salvia root and rhizome Achyranthes root Alisma rhizome Astragalus root Atractylodes rhizome Cnidium rhizome He shou wu root tuber Ligustrum fruit Rehmannia root tuber Cyperus rhizome Panax ginseng root
Take 3 capsules with a meal three times daily.
For best results, use with I-X and Skeletal Strength.
Blue Vervain [Nervous] is also known as wild hyssop or traveler’s joy. It is considered a bitter and a tonic by herbalists who use the plant’s leaves and flowers. The plant contains glycosides, volatile oils, tannins, alkaloids and bitter substances.
Nature’s Sunshine offers blue vervain in a highly concentrated liquid form. The active substances are extracted and suspended in a base of pure vegetable glycerin. This liquid extract contains no preservatives or additives.
Adults: Take 1/2 to 1 teaspoon (2.5 to 5 ml) three times daily. Children: Take 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon (1.25 to 2.5 ml) three times daily.
Butcher’s Broom [Circulatory]. Traditionally, the herb was taken to support the circulatory system.
Butcher’s Broom contains important flavonoids (natural substances that strengthen capillary walls) such as rutin. It also contains saponins, which offer a variety of circulatory benefits.
Each capsule contains 400 mg of the dried, powdered root.
Benefits: • Supports the body’s ability to fight bacteria and viruses. • Improves overall circulation. • Aids in the regulation of the glandular system. • Provides extra energy. • Helps regulate blood pressure.
Capsicum & Garlic with Parsley [Digestive, Circulatory, Immune]. This combination offers botanical sources of several important trace minerals.
Capsicum stimulates digestion and may enhance blood flow. Garlic may provide enhanced support to the immune and circulatory systems, and parsley is added to the formula for its chlorophyll content because chlorophyll has been used as a deodorizer for the body.
In combination, this formula helps maintain blood pressure levels that are already within the normal range.
Adults: Take 2 capsules with food three times daily.
Capsicum [Digestive, Circulatory] is added to many herbal formulas as a catalyst for the other herbs. It also stimulates digestion and enhances blood flow.
It became NSP’s first product back in 1972 after Gene Hughes took it by the spoonful to help his stomach.
Each capsule contains 520 mg capsicum. The capsicum used in this product contains 35,000–45,000 Scoville Heat Units.
