HOLIDAY WEIGHT GAIN WORRIES?
Transform your weight, transform your shape
—Revealing the untold truth about weight loss
Manager Extra (2/1/2005)
In 2004 Nature’s Sunshine introduced the Untold Truth seminars. These training meetings focused on the nutritional deficiencies that are at the root of many common health concerns and reveal the untold truths that can make a difference to Americans’ health. One of the modules that was taught in 2005—Transform Your Weight, Transform Your Shape—specifically revealed the Untold Truth about Weight Loss.
The truth is that our society is overfed yet undernourished. Though we eat a lot, we may be starving nutritionally. Any good weight-management program should begin by making sure your body gets the nutrients it needs to function best. Just like every other Untold Truth module, Revealing the Untold Truth about Weight Loss begins with a nutritional core. NSP core products give your body proper nutrition—which should be the jumping off point for any weight-management program.
The truth is that people experience unhealthy weight gain for different reasons, and no one product or diet fits everyone’s needs. For instance, some people’s weight gain is triggered by emotional concerns. Others have a slower metabolism that contributes to weight problems. Diabetes, stress, hormone levels and toxins also affect weight. Revealing the Untold Truth about Weight Loss gives you the tools you need to determine the root of your weight problems. Armed with this knowledge, you can design a health and weight-management program specifically for you and the factors that contribute to your weight gain.
Whatever the root of your weight concerns or the goals of your weight-management program, Nature’s Sunshine can help. NSP products offer the nutritional and weight-management support you need.
The Core Products —
Healthy Weight Begins Here
Any weight-management program needs to begin with proper nourishment. Too often, dieters eat less without considering what they are putting—or not putting— into their bodies. They often cut out the good with the bad! NSP’s Core Products are the perfect starting point for a complete weight-management program.
Thai-Go™. This delicious liquid supplement features bioflavonoids, antioxidants and xanthones to support most body systems.

In my own experience with these products:
Foods are being broken down better, so nutrient absorption is maximized. The body absorbs less of the bad fats because they are carried out with the increased fiber. The good fats in the body which helps with vein, artery, connective tissues and skin flexibilty, allows for better fluid transfer throughout the body, and toxin excretion from the body more efficiently through the skin and mucus. Increasing the good flora of Probiotics will help rid the body of toxins through the bowels and thus boost the immune system. With the High ORAC value of the Thai Go free radicals are mopped up and carried away from the healthy cells. With all these great things happening at once the vitamins and minerals will be absorbed and used more efficiently in the body where needed most. As a result I have experienced amazingly better health personally. (Karen Doolan)

Nature’s Sunshine offers a wonderful selection of weight-management products that can help you and your customers prevent or get rid of that extra holiday weight.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dieter’s Cleanse
A Cleanse Not Just for Dieters. Dieter’s Cleanse is a safe, convenient cleansing program for those who want to promote natural, healthy waste elimination and get the most nutrition from their food—an important starting point for any dieter.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SugarReg®
Helps Make Life “Sweet”. SugarReg is a formulation of eight nutrients that help support the body’s effort to maintain levels of blood sugar and insulin that are already within their normal ranges. The levels of these substances help determine how the body stores carbohydrates as fat. SugarReg contains banaba leaf, gymnema extract, bitter melon, nopal fruit, bilberry fruit, fenugreek herb, chromium and vanadium.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Adrenal Support
The adrenal glands are primarily responsible for addressing the effects of emotional, mental and physical stress on the body. This may include increases in body weight. Modern dietary habits can negatively affect the adrenal glands. Adrenal Support contains a blend of vitamins, minerals, enzymes and adaptogenic herbs to support and strengthen your body as it deals with stress.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nature’s Hoodia Formula™
As a season full of feasts and home-baked goodies winds down, you may find yourself longing for those large meals and spreads of delicious snacks. Nature’s Hoodia Formula can help cut the cravings. Hoodia gordonii has been used for centuries by the San tribesmaen of the Kalahari Desert to reduce hunger. Researchers at the South African national laboratory discovered that when animals were fed this indigenous food, the animals began to lose weight. Scientists theorize that Hoodia affects the brains of laboratory animals by making the stomach feel full and reducing the desire to eat.
Nature’s Hoodia Formula combines Hoodia gordonii with other natural ingredients—Caralluma fimbriata, dry apple cider vinegar, Garcinia cambogia, l-carnitine, gymnema leaves, chromium, marshmallow root and psyllium hulls—that may be a helpful addition to your weight-management efforts.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nature’s Cortisol Formula™
Festive meals and treats aren’t the only reason weight management is a challenge during the holidays. Researchers have begun to notice a connection between cortisol levels and weight-management indicators, such as calorie consumption and weight gain. Cortisol is a hormone produced in the adrenal glands in response to stress. That means that the holiday rush and the related stress might play a role in those few extra pounds.
Nature’s Cortisol Formula contains Relora® to help the body manage stress and maintain cortisol levels already within the normal range. Other key ingredients help maintain blood glucose levels already within the normal range. Nature’s Cortisol Formula contains Relora, banaba, holy basil, chromium, vanadium, DHEA, decaffeinated green tea extract (60% EGCG), l-theanine and calcium ascorbate.
Cortisol is a hormone produced in the adrenal glands in response to stress. It promotes the formation of glucose, which is used as fuel during stressful situations. Emerging scientific research is exploring the possible link in cortisol levels with abdominal fat storage and calorie consumption.Nature’s
Cortisol Formula combines herbs and supplements to aid in buffering the effects of stress and maintaining cortisol levels that are already within the normal range. This product contains Relora® (magnolia bark and phellodendron extracts), to help maintain cortisol levels already within the normal range, while banaba, holy basil, chromium and vanadium help maintain blood glucose levels already within the normal range. This formula also contains DHEA, decaffeinated green tea extract, l-theanine (supports the body during times of stress) and calcium ascorbate.
Nature’s Cortisol Formula features:
• DHEA—interacts with the adrenal glands, which may help lower cortisol production.
• Holy basil—may normalize cortisol levels and may have a positive effect on maintaining blood sugar levels already within the normal range.
• No stimulants like synephrine from bitter orange. Some competing products add stimulants unnecessarily.
• A more cost-effective formula. Compared to two competitors on the market, Nature’s Cortisol costs less. Product A costs $1.33–2.00 a day (direct cost), depending on how many tablets you take (4 or 6). Competitor B costs $1.67/day based on a suggested dosage of 2 capsules a day. Ours costs $1.17/day based on our recommended dose of 3 capsules/day (direct cost). Get the best and spend less!

Fat Grabbers®
Fat Grabbers is an ideal product for anyone wanting to help reduce the level of fat in his or her diet. Fat Grabbers contains wholesome, nutritional substances—guar gum, psyllium hulls, chickweed leaf extract and lecithin—to help you achieve your weight-management goals. Research conducted in NSP laboratories verifies many other in vitro experiments performed at independent laboratories that lecithin and saponins emulsify fat in aqueous media. The fat-binding properties of fiber from guar gum and psyllium hulls interfere with the absorption of emulsified fat from the small intestine. The bound fat molecules are then eliminated. Fat Grabbers is designed to be used as part of a low-calorie diet and exercise program.
Help with Some Dietary Fat Is on the Way!
Fat Grabbers is one of NSP’s most popular products. This formula combines the high-quality fiber found in guar gum and psyllium hulls with chickweed and lecithin for a unique formula that emulsifies and binds some of the fat molecules from the foods that are present in the intestinal tract before they can get into the bloodstream. This can be viewed as “grabbing” the lipid molecules and trapping them so that some may not be absorbed. Using Fat Grabbers in conjunction with a sensible dietary plan and exercise will help you create an effective overall weight-management program.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Carbo Grabbers®
Starchy carbohydrates have been in the news for their contribution to the nation’s weight problems. Now you can partially interfere with the enzymatic digestion of dietary starches with all-natural Carbo Grabbers. Carbo Grabbers contains an amylase inhibitor derived from the northern white kidney bean. It naturally and safely interferes with the digestion of starchy carbohydrates and may help reduce the calories that may be available to the body. Carbo Grabbers was designed to be used as part of a low-calorie diet and exercise program.

Improved Cellu-Smooth™ with Coleus
Say Goodbye to Cellulite - Horizons (3/1/2002)
As people age, tissues in certain parts of the body break down. Poor microcirculation in these areas damages fatty tissue while blood- and lymphatic-vessel walls become more permeable. These vessels leak fluid into surrounding tissues, causing congestion and swelling. This prevents oxygen from being carried to the tissues, hindering the drainage of toxins. Poor elimination of toxins, especially in the lymphatic system, can cause scarring and stretch marks as fat cells become trapped.
NSP’s improved Cellu-Smooth with Coleus offers help for millions of people. The nutrients in Cellu-Smooth combine to support circulation, mobilize fat and lymph stores for better distribution, and protect against free radical damage to structural skin proteins. The addition of coleus causes a shift from a more fatty body mass to a more lean body mass, which improves overall health. The effect can be measured by decreases in the waist–hip ratio and the body mass index.
Cellu-Smooth also contains bladderwrack, which nourishes the thyroid gland with iodine, thereby supporting metabolism; rhodiola extract, which may improve strength and stamina; milk thistle, which acts as an antioxidant, detoxifying the liver and aiding elimination; and ginkgo leaves, known free radical scavengers.
No other product on the market contains the same synergistic blend of ingredients as all-natural Cellu-Smooth with Coleus.

Collatrim
Collatrim (capsules) [Weight Loss, Structural] is composed mainly of bovine collagen—the fibrous protein in bones, tendons and connective tissues. It provides the building blocks of protein and amino acids. Your body may utilize the amino acids in Collatrim to rebuild muscles and strengthen lean muscle mass. For weight management, take 6 to 9 capsules daily before bedtime with one glass (8 oz.) water on an empty stomach. For structural benefits and skin support, take 2 to 3 capsules with a meal three times daily.
Collatrim is designed to support weight management by utilizing high levels of protein and important amino acids contained in our premier source of collagen. Collatrim helps the body obtain a favorable ratio of the fat-storing hormone insulin and the fat-burning hormone glucagon, while stimulating the release of human growth hormone, which burns fat and strengthens and supports muscle tissue. Collagen is also important for healthy skin and strong joints.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7-Keto™
