Making educated guesses about health

I have been in this business (selling nutritional supplements) for over 25 years.

Over the years, I have talked to thousands of our customers. I get the frustrations of buying supplements: the conflicting information from biased sources, the overwhelming number of options, the rising prices…

Then, when you factor in the complexity of health, with all its variables, making good decisions about what to use becomes almost unbearably hard. I know that.

What we hear from customers is tough sometimes. There are legitimate complaints about a lack of hard data and too many options (even within the Nature’s Sunshine line).

We sometimes hear from customers who are taking products, but don’t know why, and are scared to stop. We often notice customers who are overlapping products (which may waste money) or even taking products that may conflict with each other to an extent.

That is why our biggest initiative at Caring Sunshine for 2025 is helping you make better decisions about the supplements you buy. We want you to get optimal benefits at the best price.

To combat this complexity, here are some tools we have either already launched or will be launching within months:

• Our free ND consult program.
• Nutritional Supplement Audit. This is a new, expanded ND-related offering we will be launching soon. In a special consultation (which will cost a minimal amount of money), we will audit your supplement regimen for you to identify duplication/overlaps and deficiencies. Again, we want the supplements you take to work best and at the lowest price.
• Expanded product information. If you have not checked out our product pages lately, we encourage you to. Our search capabilities have been significantly updated as well. Want to find the least expensive vegetarian product at Caring Sunshine that contains at least 500 mg of calcium per serving? That is now easy to do.
• Ingredient database. We are in the final stages of building a database containing information about the hundreds of raw ingredients in nutritional supplements. We will tell you how they are used and how substantial the data is to support their use. The same database will have information about your body’s systems and how to support them (including natural remedies you can use).
• Laboratory testing. We are within weeks of launching a laboratory testing option for customers who want clinical data about what is going on in their bodies. You will have the option to take tests from the convenience of your home, and when you get the results, our ND, Dr. Shannyn Fowl, will go over them with you.

We want to be way more than a business that sells supplements; you can find those businesses everywhere. We want to be a business that makes our customers healthier, and we want the dollars they spend on supplements to go further. Education is a big key to that.
