Quality Assurance

Our legacy of quality is known throughout the nation and around the world. There’s no risk, no guessing if we used the right plant species or the correct plant parts. Nothing compares to NSP quality.

We test thoroughly to ensure quality at every step of the way

NSP scientists visit our herb growers and vendors to examine their fields and check their harvesting and cleaning techniques. We test raw materials and product batches in our labs for purity and potency. We even keep samples on hand for future testing needs should they arise.

Unlike 85% of supplement brands sold in the US, we manufacture our own natural health supplements.

Our 260,000 square-foot, pharmaceutical-grade manufacturing facility features state-of-the-art bin mixers and packaging lines that can produce over 15 million capsules per day. That space includes our Quality Assurance labs and environmentally designed warehouse. NSP spent $21 million expanding and upgrading our facility in 2001.

We invest in technology and personnel to give you the best.

NSP is the first health supplement company to use a Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry/MS Triple Quad. It detects impurities down to parts per TRILLION…with a T. We also have four Ph.D.s on staff.

We offer over 500 quality products.

NSF Certification

NSF International, a non-profit, non-governmental organization and world leader in standards development and product certification, presented Nature's Sunshine with the NSF Good Manufacturing Certification.

NSF is a leading, third-party auditor of companies involved in the health and public safety sectors. Their certification of our manufacturing facility means we passed an extensive audit by NSF staff, including an examination of production equipment and a thorough evaluation of our policies and procedures and our manufacturing processes.

Forbes Names Nature’s Sunshine one of America’s Most Trustworthy Companies

Earlier this year (2013), Forbes published its list of America’s 100 Most Trustworthy Companies, naming Nature’s Sunshine Products under its Micro-Cap category*. Being named to this list demonstrates that NSP is “a model of openness and integrity,” according to Forbes’ own description.

Forbes

Nature’s Sunshine (NATR) is one of just four companies in the entire pharmaceuticals category to make it on the list. And we are the only one that is a direct selling company. Of the four, NSP also had the highest AGR score (92 out of 100).**
This honor further demonstrates NSP’s continuing commitment to integrity in every facet of its business practices.

How is such a list created?

Forbes relies on GMI Ratings (a global research pioneer) for help in ranking companies on the trustworthiness scale. GMI looks at 60 different governance and forensic accounting measures. Companies with the most accounting transparency, the lowest incidence of high-risk events and those that have appropriate Board supervision typically rank the highest. Other determining factors include penalties for excessive executive compensation, high turnover among management, high levels of short-term executive compensation, etc.

GMI examines over 8,000 publically traded companies and assigns a risk score quarterly. Companies on the top 100 list must have market caps of $250 million or more. And they may not have: amended filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, SEC enforcement actions or material restatements.

*Micro-cap label is merely a measurement of market value. To be considered, companies needed $250 million market value (minimum) at the time of assessment.

**The AGR score is the accounting and governance risk score assigned by GMI and based on models that attempt to identify practices that tend to correlate with shareholder risk. Higher scores are associated with conservative business practices and, therefore, less risk.
