Digestive Health

Weight Management
Nature's Sunshine has a number of products that work with your lifestyle and diet to help promote weight loss. "Carbo Grabbers with Chromium" inhibits an enzyme that digests carbohydrates, and the undigested starches pass through the body without being absorbed. Chromium helps transfer glucose from the blood into cells, which regulates blood glucose levels. "Fat Grabbers" utilizes the fat-binding properties of the fiber found in guar gum and psyllium hulls, and prevents fats from being absorbed from the small intestines into the blood stream. "Metabomax Free" works by increasing the body's metabolic rate, thus increasing the amount of calories you burn.
