How It Works:
This immune-supporting formula is a combination that Chinese herbalists would describe as a "metal-enhancing" formula. These herbs create a favorable environment for microbial balance and overall health. Dandelion root has nutritive properties for the liver, kidneys, stomach and blood. Purslane tops were eaten by American pioneers and in the Orient in the belief that it nourishes the liver and blood. Indigo leaves and root were used traditionally to support detoxification processes. Bupleurum root is a Chinese bitter herb that nourishes the liver and promotes perspiration. Typhonium rhizome supports the respiratory system. Scute root has been used to support the gallbladder and spleen. Cinnamon twig benefits the intestinal tract. Licorice root adds harmony and nourishes the adrenal glands. Ginseng root is a well-known adaptogen, promoted as a general body builder.
VS-C is also available in liquid form, with the components of its dried counterpart extracted and preserved in a glycerin base.

VS-C is a proprietary blend of 10 Chinese herbs grown and harvested in China. These herbs have been used for thousands of years in TCM to combat disease and help maintain health. In the mid-1980s, Nature’s Sunshine worked with Wenwei Xie, a doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine from Beijing, who came to the US as part of a research project on Chinese remedies for immune support. Working with Dr. Xie, Nature’s Sunshine developed VS-C based on classical TCM formulations for the immune system--specifically to help fight herpes simplex.
VS-C helps the body maintain a vital yin-yang balance. As a metal (Jin)-enhancing blend, VS-C is designed to promote connection and purity according to TCM…to nurture the lungs (Fei) and large intestine (Da Chang), the two organs associated with the metal element. The large intestine lets go of toxins and waste while the lungs breathe in fresh air to nourish the blood and exhale additional toxins.
