Pursuant to the guidelines established under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, on June 2, 2006, Dr. Gilbert will move the Court to grant his application to be appointed Lead Plaintiff in this action. Lead Plaintiffs provide important oversight and monitoring of the litigation, and work cooperatively with their chosen counsel.

Dr. Gilbert has retained prominent New Orleans-based class action securities law firm Kahn Gauthier Swick, LLC ("KGS") to serve as lead counsel and to recover losses related to shareholders' investment in Nature's Sunshine Products, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: NATR).

IF YOU HAVE SUFFERED A SIGNIFICANT LOSS RELATED TO NATURE'S SUNSHINE SHARES YOU ARE ENCOURAGED TO JOIN THIS MOTION -- BUT YOU MUST ACT QUICKLY.

Dr. Jan Gilbert is well suited to lead this litigation. As both a significant shareholder of the Company and a prominent member of the New York medical community and founder of the leading company devoted to nutrition for dental health and general health, Dr. Gilbert has both the interest and understanding to make an ideal Lead Plaintiff and class representative. According to Dr. Gilbert, "Because the Company did not reveal its true financial and operational condition, and because Nature's Sunshine failed to implement considered, ethical decisions, shareholders must now take action. I encourage other significant shareholders who purchased shares during the class period and sustained significant losses, to join me in moving the court to serve as Lead Plaintiff."

Lewis Kahn, Managing Partner at KGS also stated, "We applaud the participation of leading investors such as Dr. Gilbert for taking a role in protecting the rights of investors. Serving as Lead Plaintiff is a very important role, yet it does not require a substantial time commitment. We, too, encourage others who may have lost significant amounts of their investment in Nature's Sunshine products to call KGS as soon as possible."

KGS has significant experience in securities class action contingent-fee litigation, and encourages any other fund managers who suffered losses as a result of their investment in Nature's Sunshine to e-mail or call KGS, without obligation or cost to you.
