Natural health enthusiasts have long recognized the importance of probiotics

for the gut. Now you can find countless probiotic-enhanced products in your grocery store’s dairy aisle. And recently, researchers have discovered that these beneficial bacteria also do wonders for your immune system. Studies suggest that probiotics increase the production of cytokines and natural killer cells, important members of a healthy immune system. Nature’s Sunshine offers several probiotic supplements to ensure that you get a healthy dose of these friendly bacteria.

Bifidophilus Flora Force®Bifidophilus Flora Force probiotic supplement provides billions of beneficial intestinal microorganisms that offer a range of health benefits. This product contains Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium longum, L. casei and L. rhamnosus, plus fructo-oligosaccharides which support the growth of the beneficial organisms. Each capsule provides a good balance of 4 billion friendly flora.

Probiotic Eleven® Probiotic Eleven nutritional supplement provides 11 species

of live microorganisms that support digestion, promote immunity and aid in the elimination of toxins. This specially formulated blend contains strains

of important gut-beneficial organisms and prebiotics that serve

as food for the probiotics in the colon. Ingredients

longum, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, L. brevis, L. plantarum, L. rhamnosus, L. salivarius, Streptococcus thermophilus, L. acidophilus, L. casei and inulin.

New Formula Thai-Go® aNTioxidaNT driNk:

STroNGer, BeTTer, TaSTierAble to leAp to the Aid of Your

immune And CirCulAtorY SYStemS in A Single dAY

In July, NSP strengthened its formula for best-selling Thai-Go by adding

açai berries and pomegranate juice to the mix. These two fruits have been increasing in popularity in the marketplace and are known for their powerful immune-system benefits and antioxidant capabilities. Açai berries contain anthocyanins. They support blood flow and help maintain cholesterol levels already within the normal range. Açai berries may also support the body’s natural cleansing functions. Pomegranate fruit contains polyphenols, tannins and

anthocyanins, all of which are beneficial antioxidants. It may support cholesterol and blood pressure levels already within the normal range and may facilitate getting oxygen to the heart. NSP sent samples of our new Thai-Go formula to Brunswick Labs for testing, and they found that the oraC score* of the new formula is nearly 14% higher than the original, powerful Thai-Go. So it’s even more effective at neutralizing free radicals and supporting the immune system.*ORAC is a measure of the antioxidant capacity of a food or beverage.

Thai-Go TaSTiNG ParTieS—driNk To SuCCeSS!

In August, Nature’s Sunshine made Thai-Go tasting parties available to managers all over the country. We

created promotional materials to help you introduce the new Thai-Go to your successline members and customers. Hundreds of managers held their own parties, with over 4,000 people attending! We received input from over 300 managers, and the tasting parties were a huge success! Thousands of people got to sample the new Thai-Go, hundreds of people took advantage of special discounts and many people joined NSP as a result! And everyone learned about the new ingredients and how they support health. Plus we had fun together!

mAnAgerS held All SortS of pArtieS! • Cynthia Reed hosted a potluck dinner to share new Thai-Go. • Jerene Olsen had 39 people at her Thai-go party. She created stations

where people could sample different drinks with Thai-Go mixed in. • Bill Fage, the Father of the Herbal Hour, welcomed 43 people to his home

(17 of whom were new to NSP) where he served fresh food from his garden and taught about Thai-Go’s amazing ingredients!

• Kelli Ackroyd held a gathering in her healing center. She used the PowerPoint presentation NSP provided. People took advantage of the 10% discount.

• Rebecca Vagedes created a fun party atmosphere with four tasting tables, each with its own theme and Thai-Go drink mix. She told people about

the ingredients and served the drinks. Everyone got sunglasses and fake teeth to wear!

• Serina Stever welcomed about 40 people to her Thai-Go party, complete with custom aprons and cake!

• Mary Born held a webinar and provided instruction to satellite groups, which then held their own tasting sessions.

• Kathy Hester attended Loretta Imbessie’s three-day Thai-Go tasting extravaganza. She was so excited that she decided to hold her own party, which generated $1,400 in sales!

• At Cheri Jaques’ party everyone wore flower leis. • At Susan Johnson’s party, she asked her guests to rate the taste of

new Thai-Go on a scale of 1 to 10 (1 = bad, 10 = good). They gave it an average rating of 8.8!

• Sharon Jensen held an open house. She offered Thai-Go and other NSP products in her kitchen along with finger foods and product info. She also introduced her customers to a chiropractor she has partnered with. 46 people attended!
