Research reveals lead levels detected in the shin bone are predictive of a 19 percent increased risk of high blood pressure for every 15 micrograms per gram of lead in the bone. Scientists have known for decades of the neurological damage triggered by lead, responsible for $53 billion in health care costs, $35 billion in […]
Hughes Center Research on L-Arginine Supplementation
Three years ago today, scientists at the Hughes Center for Research and Innovation made several remarkable discoveries on Synergy’s ProArgi-9+ formula, showing that ProArgi-9+ can do what l-arginine cannot do on its own. Following these discoveries, Nature’s Sunshine filed a United States provisional patent application to ensure that Synergy maintained exclusive rights to this iconic […]
Nitric Oxide Therapy
The site of NO production determines its biological effects: • In the arteries, NO keeps blood flow high and keeps arteries smooth and flexible. • In the gut, NO enhances intestinal function. • In the airway system, NO helps keep air flowing freely to the lungs. • In the brain and nervous system, NO contributes […]

Probiotic Wipes Out Dangerous Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria
Researchers determined those with healthy colonies of beneficial Bacillus bacteria did not have dangerous, and sometimes antibiotic-resistant, Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) bacteria in their nose or gut. S. aureus is the leading cause of bacterial infections in health care and community settings. Over 50 percent of isolates in the U.S. are antibiotic-resistant, increasing the challenge […]

Cholesterol Does Not Cause Heart Disease
Cholesterol is a waxy substance found in nearly every cell of your body, vital for optimal functioning.

UK Guidelines Recommend Honey for Cough, Not Antibiotics

Gut Bacteria Enzyme Can Change Blood Type A Into Much-Needed Type O
While all human blood is red when exposed to air, not all human blood is identical in nature. Every individual has a specific blood group inherited from your parents in much the same way you inherit other characteristics, such as eye color. Your blood group is determined by the presence or the absence of specific […]
Oxidation of LDL Cholesterol
Eating too much damaged omega-6 fat and too little animal-based omega-3 sets the stage for diabetes, cardiovascular disease, rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, depression, Alzheimer’s and more.
