Herb/Supplement Companies

I'm co-owner of Vital Solutions, which owns ABC Herbs in St. George, UT. My partner in that business is Kimberly Balas. We carry a variety of herbal products and supplements. Here are some of the brands we like and carry.

Network Marketing Brands

Nature's Sunshine Products

I have distributed Nature's Sunshine Products since 1980. In fact, I worked for the company from 1983-1989 and helped develop their in-house training programs. My Tree of Light Publishing company (www.treelite.com) provides third-party educational materials for Nature's Sunshine salespeople. I really think NSP lives up to their motto of quality, service and integrity. They have the highest standards of quality control and manufacturing of any company I know. They also have one of the most comprehensive product lines I know. Some of my favorite products are their Chinese herb line, Tei Fu oil, AL-J, Nature's Fresh and Adrenal Support. If you are not already involved with NSP you can learn more about the company at www.mynsp.com/vitalsolutions. You can purchase the products wholesale by signing up as a distributor on that website. You only have to purchase $40 worth of products to get a wholesale account and there are no monthly minimums.

Amazon Herbs

This company has great products and a company philosophy. Their products are made from herbs from the rainforest. Their products are available in both capsules and liquids. They use an extraction process modeled on the spagyric method to produce their outstanding herbal liquids. A portion of their profits are used to purchase rainforest to preserve it. They also help the native tribes in South America. You only have to place a $50 order to obtain a wholesale account and there are no monthly minimums. I regularly use their Digestazon Plus enzymes and their Fiberzon Plus intestinal product. I also like Calmazon, Metabazon and Kavazon. Visit www.abcherb.amazonherb.net

URI International

Just recently, I learned that there was a 5,000 acre organic farm just north of where I live in Cedar City. This operation grows organic alfalfa, barley grass and wheat grass. They are also able to dehydrate fruit and vegetable juices in 30 seconds without raising the temperature over 98 degrees. I met the owner of this operation, Uri, and was very impressed with his integrity and philosophy. He has a company that sells whole food supplements that contain their extracts. He's been manufacturing products for other companies for years, but figured out he could get these high quality products to consumers at a lower cost with his own marketing program. I've been taking The Feast, and really like it. It's just $9.95 to become a member and purchase at wholesale. Visit www.uriinternational.com/abcherb
