Fortunately , and to the surprise of the Pharmaceutical companies, responsible natural health supplement companies (of which Natures Sunshine played a major role) lobbied the E.U. politicians with scientific facts, and case histories demonstrating the benefits of taking health supplements. During the ‘gloves off’ battle that lasted nearly two years between the Pharmaceutical companies and the health supplement lobbies it became very clear to all - including the politicians - that profits, and substantially increased market share, not health, was the driving force behind the Pharmaceutical companies motives for attempting to outlaw health supplements !

The end result was that at great disappointment to the Pharmaceutical companies, the E.U. substantially watered down legislation by recommending product label changes only, and a few supplement companies (some well known high street stores) were indeed forced to take some of their products off their shelves. However, and to Natures Sunshine credit, ALL Natures Sunshine products were given the OK, all that was required was a few label changes ! The contents could remain the same.

The failure of the multi billion dollar Pharmaceutical companies to successfully bully the politicians, and spread untruths to the media during their campaign doesn’t mean they have given up. Their drive for profit is so strong they continually seek ways of destroying the health supplement market and it’s suppliers. Fortunately, Natures Sunshine, because the quality of it’s products are beyond reproach, stands in good stead with the public worldwide.

In conclusion, most of Natures Sunshine products will arrive with bottle labels probably different to the pictures on our website until new photo’s replace the existing one’s. However, THE INGREDIENTS REMAIN THE SAME.
