Nature’s Sunshine Launches Program to Reverse Cardiometabolic Dysfunction

HEALTH & WELLNESS , PRESS RELEASES , UTAH COUNTY

Press Release Apr 18, 2016

Lehi—Nature’s Sunshine Products, Inc., a leading natural health and wellness company engaged in the manufacture and direct selling of nutritional and personal care products, launched a new patent-pending program at its April National Convention that addresses many of the most prominent health trends associated with poor metabolic function. Nature’s Sunshine’s new IN.FORM program was clinically studied in the Hughes Center for Research and Innovation and demonstrates superior health benefits to other published programs on the market today.

The results of the IN.FORM program speak for themselves. Using the median figures, study participants who received the IN.FORM supplements lost 17 pounds of fat and 26 pounds overall. They also saw great improvements in other key health indicators already in the healthy range, such as triglycerides, LDL cholesterol, total cholesterol and insulin levels.

When compared to the control group who only used the program diet, those individuals who used the complete IN.FORM product system experienced over 50% greater fat loss, over 50% more weight loss and between a 66% and 80% greater decrease in other key cardiovascular health indicators already within the healthy range.

“New scientific research is deepening our understanding of how poor metabolic function affects overall health,” said Dr. Matthew Tripp, Chief Scientific Officer of Nature’s Sunshine. “We designed the IN.FORM program to target gut health and to comprehensively address cardiometabolic function at its roots.”

The patent-pending IN.FORM program combines Nature’s Sunshine’s exclusive products with positive lifestyle changes to provide a holistic, multi-mechanistic solution with powerful results, including reductions in weight, fat, triglycerides and total cholesterol already within the healthy range.

Approved by an independent review board, the clinical study consisted of two intervention arms. The control arm received a special high-protein, high phytonutrient food plan along with lifestyle changes and exercise recommendations. The IN.FORM arm also received targeted nutritional supplements in addition to the food plan, lifestyle changes and exercise recommendations.

The IN.FORM program includes Nature’s Sunshine’s Metabolic Age Support Shakes, high-protein meal replacements featuring heart-healthy phytosterols and prebiotic fiber that feed the healthy bacteria of the microbiome. It also features CardioxLDL™, a unique patent-pending combination of powerful antioxidants that work to reduce the oxidation of cholesterol, a critical factor in cardiovascular health, and to support healthy cholesterol levels.

The IN.FORM program also provides a powerful probiotic containing 11 strains of friendly bacteria to help replenish the beneficial microflora of the intestines, and Berberine, which works to combat endotoxins that interfere with optimal gut performance and healthy glucose metabolism. IN.FORM is rounded out with essential daily nutrients from a multivitamin and heart healthy omega-3 fish oils.

“Nature’s Sunshine is proud to introduce the latest breakthrough innovation in natural health care with the clinically studied IN.FORM program,” said Gregory Probert, Chairman and CEO of Nature’s Sunshine. “Nature’s Sunshine is all about transforming lives through natural health, and that’s exactly what the IN.FORM program seeks to accomplish. We are excited to add to the clinical proof behind our industry-leading, high quality supplements.”
 

Lehi Supplement Firm Launches Research Lab

LEHI — Friday, Feb. 27 2015, Deseret News

The nutrition supplement industry is big business in Utah and worldwide, and a local company is now using technology to develop what it claims will be scientifically improved products.

Lehi-based Nature’s Sunshine on Friday opened its new laboratory facility that will utilize a technology to allow herbs to be more effectively matched with an individual’s chemical makeup.

The Hughes Center for Research and Innovation employs technology to better understand how the body and nutritional supplements work to support better overall health. The 5,400-square-foot, multimillion-dollar facility includes laboratories and clinical space, along with exam rooms for consultations and clinical studies. Among the advanced equipment company scientists will use is the Flexmap3D, a device that provides critical, broad-based biochemical information in just minutes, said chief scientific officer Matthew Tripp. Additional technology provides rapid quantitative analysis of chemicals in herbal samples that previously was not readily available to researchers.

“The Flexmap3D can analyze 500 analytes, such as genes and proteins, from a single human sample such as a drop of blood,” he said. “With this machine, 144,000 data points can be analyzed in one hour, which provides rapid quantitative analyses of various biomarkers.”

Tripp said the company uses natural herbs to develop products that aid in addressing health concerns due to “diet induced illnesses.”

He noted that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention stated that 34 percent of Americans have metabolic syndrome and are three times more likely to have a heart attack, stroke and diabetes.

Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions — including increased blood pressure, high blood sugar levels, excess body fat around the waist and abnormal cholesterol levels — that occur together, increasing your risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes, he explained.

“Twenty-five percent of the world has metabolic syndrome,” Tripp said. “In the U.S., it’s worse.”

Globally, 39 percent of adults were overweight in 2014, and 13 percent were obese, the CDC stated. Additionally, heart disease is a factor in over 30 percent of all deaths. Tripp said the company is working to develop more natural compounds in products that can help people maintain a healthier balance in their regular diets and therefore improve their overall health.

“If we have targeted nutrition — tablets, capsules, etc. — with the right (natural compounds) in them, we believe we can help mediate those effects (of insufficient nutritional balance),” he said.

Dr. Joseph Lamb, Hughes Center medical director, said the company expects to make significant strides in the realm of nutritional innovation using the latest technology and proven scientific research.

“There is a leading edge of science that is going to lead us to better health, and we are part of that leading edge,” Lamb said. “The Hughes Center for Research and Innovation is designed to help combat health mega-trends driven by diet and lifestyle choices through natural, nutritionally therapeutic products,” said Gregory L. Probert, Nature’s Sunshine Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Combining our scientists with new technology, we will continue to lead development of effective herbal and nutritional products for consumers worldwide by studying supplement interactions at a molecular level.” “We are opening the most advanced research center of its kind to discover solutions because we are deeply committed to identifying the most effective natural products to combat these growing mega-trends,” said Probert. “We are thrilled Utah Governor, Gary Herbert, is officially opening this significant expansion, which is a signal of economic strength and nutritional supplement advancements.”

A WELL EARNED & DESERVING HONOR TO GENE, KRISTINE, & PAULINE HUGHES THAT THE RESEARCH CENTER WAS NAMED AFTER AND IN HONOR OF THEM…OUR FOUNDERS, OUR MENTORS, OUR FRIENDS!
