In the early 1970s, 1972 to be precise, Gene Hughes, a teacher from the US state of Utah, was troubled with a nagging stomach condition. On the advice of a neighbour who suggested cayenne pepper for his discomfort, he tried it and it worked!  Gene began to feel much better, but swallowing a spoonful of cayenne pepper was quite a challenge for him, so with the help of his wife Kristine, they decided that they needed to find a better way to consume the powdered herb, and eventually came up with the idea of putting the powder into easy-to-swallow gelatin capsules. Back in the early 1970's, this was revolutionary! However filling the capsules by hand was painfully slow.

So, with the support of their family Gene and Kristine began a small family business, selling encapsulated cayenne and other herbs and supplements. They began helping more and more people with their natural products, and enjoyed sharing the benefits of their knowledge with others. And so, Nature's Sunshine^® was born and was the first ever company to encapsulate herbs, and their commitment to offering only the finest-quality herbal supplements across the world has never wavered.

Today, Nature’s Sunshine^® has eight encapsulating machines in its own state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Utah USA, each one producing up to 2,500 capsules every minute. A far cry from the early days! Nature's Sunshine^® is now a world leader in manufacturing natural nutritional products, and has truly earned its worldwide reputation for outstanding manufacturing, product quality, service and integrity.

At Body and Mind Studio^®, we always strive to provide the best quality products to our customers, and have been supplying Nature’s Sunshine^® products to them since 2010.
