INTRODUCTION

Total Balance is a highly sophisticated supplement that simply leaves every other supplement in its wake.

Are you wondering how I can make such a bold claim?

Or perhaps you're thinking “yeah yeah - they say that about all the supplements.”

I say it because Total Balance is NOT a multi vitamin/mineral supplement!

Sure, it's got all the essential vitamins, minerals and trace elements in the CORRECT amounts but overall these represent only a SMALL percentage of this turbo-charged cutting edge formula.

It is for seriously health conscious people who want the ABSOLUTELY BEST nutritional support to protect the health of their DNA, normalize their aging process and stay far away from disease and all those 21st century PREVENTABLE medical complications WHICH PEOPLE ARE CONTRACTING AT EARLIER AND EARLIER AGES!

Total Balance Is Far Far MORE Than A Multi Vitamin Health Supplement!

Straight off here's the 4 critical reasons why it's the Number 1 Multi Ingredient Health Supplement out there:

1. Free Radicals



2. Glycation



3. Methylation



4. Inflammation

Except for 'Free Radicals' have you any idea what I'm talking about?

For a large majority of people the answer is definitely 'NO'!

And that's the problem!

The nutritional supplement companies know this and that's how they take full advantage of you and your money!

So here's a question for you!

"What are the market's leading professional grade multi ingredient nutritional health supplements meant to do for you?"

Did you answer something like “to offer nutritional insurance against poor diets by topping up vitamin and mineral deficiencies and optimizing my health.”?

If you did that's a fairly good answer!

Unfortunately the second part of your answer “optimizing your health” is where
99% of nutritional vitamin supplements FAIL!

Why?

Simply put 'optimizing health' is highly dependent on the regular environmental factors impacting on your health! So in respect of this “optimizing health” these days means SLOWING DOWN and NORMALIZING your aging process!

'Anti-Aging' is the marketing term that supplement companies use.

Because of a strong reliance on processed and nutritionally poor food as well as daily exposure to food additives, environmental toxics and stressors - MOST people are AGING WAY TOO QUICKLY – FAR FASTER THAN WHAT NATURE INTENDED!

This is exemplified in the rapidly rising incidence of degenerative disease not to mention nutritionally based disease year on year. You know - diabetes, cancer, arthritis, Alzheimer's, heart disease, stroke and so on.

Slowing Down The Aging Process Is A Complex, Multi-Faceted Undertaking!

With the exception of Total Balance, virtually all the multi ingredient vitamin health supplements in the market only address this task via one approach - the reduction of free radicals through the use of antioxidants.

And this is why they make so little head way!

Anti-aging can only be successfully accomplished by targeting ALL the 4 main areas of aging.

• Using Antioxidants to reduce and control your free radical production


• Prevention of Glycation which leads to Age's


• Balanced Methylation for Healthy DNA


• Reducing Chronic Inflammation which contributes to degeneration.

Total Balance is the ONLY multi-ingredient nutritional vitamin supplement I've seen (or heard of) whose formula addresses all these 4 areas!

That's why it has a whopping 85 ingredients – many of which are specialty nutrients rarely seen in the supplement industry.

The Total Balance formula is UNIQUE. To accomplish it's aim it uses all of these categories of ingredients:

• Vitamins 


• Minerals 


• Trace Elements 


• Enzymes  


• Antioxidants 


• Amino Acids 


• Anti-Glycation Agents


• Neuronutrients 


• Flavanoids 


• Carotenoids 


• Methylation Agents


• Adaptogens


• Calorie Restriction Mimetics


• Herbal Extracts


• Co-factors

So, here's a breakdown of the Key Strengths of Total Balance. Use these links below if you want to jump around rather than reading straight down the page.

Awesome Health Benefits

Due to the EXTRAORDINARY science behind Total Balance it can address organ degeneration which is behind so many of the deaths you hear about each year from horrible conditions like viral infections, cancers, strokes and heart disease.

Here are the most common benefits felt by people taking Total Balance:

• Heaps more energy

• Improved sense of wellbeing


• Calmer - Less stressed


• Clearer fresher skin


• Reduced blood pressure levels


• Stronger nails

• Deeper better sleep


• Reduction and elimination of allergies


• Less PMS Symptoms for the ladies

Now, here are some other super benefits that come with using Total Balance. These are the type of benefits that separate the very best supplements. (I'll break down and discuss each one further down as they are important and every supplement company lays claim to them)

• A special delivery system and targeted specialty nutrients not normally found in supplements because of their high cost and complexity




• Value for Money




• Quality Guaranteed. Xtend-life's top of the line quality control systems enables them to guarantee:-

1. All ingredients used have a Certificate of Analysis on file confirming their potency. (That's crucial for your safety!)



2. All ingredients are tested prior to manufacture for microbiological contamination.



3. All ingredients, as stated on the bottle label, are present in the stated quantities.(MANY SUPPLEMENTS FAIL ON THIS!)



4. A paper trail, documenting the above three points, is on file for each batch of product manufactured and available to you!

Staff At Xtend-Life Are Super Nice

Right up I'd like to make mention of the wonderful staff at Xtend-Life. I've dealt with staff at so many supplement companies and unfortunately I can't use the word GREAT to describe a great many of them.

It was a lovely breath of fresh air dealing with Xtend-Life's super friendly customer service staff. Xtend-Life was the ONLY company that answered every single question I asked when evaluating supplements for this site.

It's a comforting sign when a company has nothing to hide.

A Powerful State-Of-The-Art Formula!

Of all the supplements I've researched and reviewed I haven't come across another formula as comprehensive (and affordable) as Total Balance.

Total Balance, as the name suggests, has something for every major organ and body system, including your brain.

There are sensible dose amounts for each of these - there's no mega high doses of some cheaper ingredients (commonly stacked into most supplements.)

You saw above the various categories of the ingredients in Total Balance. Let's look at some of the highlights of these:

• More than a dozen standardized medicinal herbal extracts


• Loads of powerful and expensive phytonutrients


• Over 40 proven anti-cancer nutrients


• Critical Gender specific support nutrients for common problems specific to either males or females


• An exceptionally strong immunity blend - a formula within a formula!

Have you seen my Most Potent Ingredients For Each Organ pdf chart on my nutritional supplement formulas page?

In that chart, Total Balance has the highest score of these most potent ingredients for every organ and body system with the exception of the Bone Support category where it scored 6 out of 8 (I put this in perspective below).

Vitamins and Minerals - Now this is where things get interesting!

Only 14% of a Total Balance tablet is comprised of vitamins and minerals!

Huh?

But this is what makes Total Balance really special! The dose amounts of all vitamins and minerals are sensible and adequate for most supplement users.

When evaluating supplements it's critical to understand that vitamins and minerals are the cheapest ingredients in supplements. Some for example are one thousandth the price of other key ingredients that you absolutely want (like certain high potency phytonutrients or L-Glutathione.)

Take a look at the whopping total amounts of vitamins and minerals in the other supplements in my comparison chart:

• 79% for Essentials from Usana


• 71% for Life Force from Source Naturals


• 87% for LifePak from Pharmanex

If vitamins and minerals are your main concern for taking a health supplement, you would be far better off purchasing a basic (and safe) multi-vitamin and mineral formulation.

Why pay high prices for cheap ingredients?

Vitamins and minerals should of course be there, but in low doses, to act as specific cofactors and to top-up what you're missing from your diet.

Most people interested in top of the range multi ingredient health supplements like Total Balance are health conscious and are already taking in moderate (although insufficient) amounts of vitamins and minerals. They just need a vitamin/mineral top-up!

Supplement companies use their marketers to play on peoples fears by showing fancy statistics and graphs showing vitamin deficiencies in large parts of the population. These population segments however do not include consumers using elite health supplements!

Coenzyme Q10 - You Get It For Free!

Total Balance uses creditable nutritional science (the right precursors and cofactors) to stimulate your body to create more of its own Coenzyme Q10, an absolutely critical antioxidant similar to a vitamin. Your body uses Co Q10 to create energy for your cells. So you get this essential nutrient for free while leaving room in the tablet for other equally important ingredients.

Many other supplement companies include Co Q10 as an ingredient. But there's a problem.

Co Q10 is very poorly absorbed by the body.

Its bioavailability rates only between 5% and 10 %. So you need at least 100 mg of Co Q10 or you won't be getting enough (unless you're tucking into lots of organ meats, which are a prime source of Co Q10). You'll see most supplements contain insufficient amounts of Co Q10 (usually 5 to 50 mg).

Heaps Of Potent Disease-Busting Phytonutrients

Total Balance contains absolutely generous amounts of phytonutrients, particularly carotenoids and flavonoids.

These are amazing plant-based nutrients that can fight disease and offer other powerful health benefits including strong antioxidant protection. Scientists are constantly discovering new or increased health benefits from these super plant nutrients.

Check out these phytonutrient totals!

• Total Balance Men's Plus -- 691 mg


• Total Balance Women's Plus -- 591 mg


• Life Force -- 322 mg


• Essentials -- 219 mg


• Lifepak -- 208mg

Lutein is a great example of a phytonutrient. It's is important, well-researched phytonutrient for eye health. The available scientific evidence suggests that benefits are derived from daily intakes of 6 mgs up.

Total Balance contains 5 mgs, which is a great base for this fantastic carotenoid since supplement users will no doubt be taking in additional Lutein from their diets in the form of corn, egg yolks, kiwi fruit, grapes, orange juice, etc.

The super high total of phytonutrients in Total Balance is one of its major strengths as the best vitamin supplement.

Miraculous Medicinal Herbal Extracts - Standardized Of Course!

Standardized herbal extracts have provided medicinal benefits for centuries - in fact thousands of years for some. So standardized herbals extracts are other top-notch ingredients that you want to see in plentiful supply in your supplement.

Make sure they're standardized because this guarantees the active ingredient content, which can vary tremendously in the cheaper non-standardized extracts.

The number of herbal extracts in Total Balance once again nails the opposition.

• Total Balance Men's Plus - 13 standardized extracts


• Total Balance Women's Plus - 15 standardized extracts


• Essentials - 4 standardized extracts


• Life Force - 8 standardized extracts


• Lifepak - 2 standardized extracts

Essential Enzymes - To Help Digest All Those Fantastic Ingredients

Total Balance was the only supplement to include a full range of enzymes!

The enzymes in Total Balance are digestive. They help break down foods we eat so our bodies can absorb the nutrients. For maximum benefits, supplements containing digestive enzymes must contain the 3 major groups:

• Amylase


• Protease


• Lipase

These allow your body to breakdown carbohydrates, proteins and fats.

Xtend-Life Self Manufactures - That's Rare!

Ingredient quality is definitely a key strength for Total Balance.

Did you know that most other supplement companies, big and small, contract out the manufacturing of their products - and this can (and does) open the door for all kinds of quality and contamination issues?

Xtend-Life totally controls the manufacturing process through all stages. That allows for real quality control and guarantees no contaminates.

Even though Xtend-Life is small, its manufacturing facilities are of pharmaceutical grade. And here's the huge plus - they manufacture to pharmaceutical level Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP)

Usana was the only other company in my supplement comparisons that self manufactures AND to pharmaceutical GMP standard.

Xtend-Life uses sophisticated pharmaceutical blending protocols which left me totally impressed.

Firstly, they have two people sign off for each ingredient weighed and entered into a batch mix. So no funny business can go on and no mistakes are made!

Then they use sophisticated multiple blendings before the ingredients end up together.

Commonly in the supplement industry, producers simply dump all the ingredients together at the same time into a big blender and blend for around 20 minutes. The goal is to get the product into the market ASAP.

This results in stratification where the heaviest ingredients end up at the bottom of the mix.

This means that not every tablet will contain the mix printed on the label! This is a VERY common problem with cheaper supplements.

Xtend-Life's blending process has 5 stages and takes an impressive 5 hours per batch. Xtend-Life also runs their final blend mix through a granulator within 2 hours of the final mixing.

This is one further step that helps to ensure a perfect blend. Granulation should always be done within 24 hours of the final blend mixing. Less quality-focused supplement companies do not granulate their mixes.

Annoyingly, Usana, Source Naturals and Pharmanex revealed almost nothing to me about their blending processes when I contacted them!

Absolutely The Safest Natural Ingredients - No Uninvited Microbes

At Xtend-Life, raw ingredients come only from GMP registered and audited facilities.

It's also critically important that Xtend-Life quarantines and tests each and every raw material used in Total Balance for compliance with its Certificate of Analysis (COA).

This is a safeguard against microbiological contamination.

Total Balance Outstrips The Competition In The Number Of Ingredients

Total Balance Women's Plus has a tremendous 83 ingredients!

FANTASTIC Value For Money

Xtend-life is not a listed company. It's a family owned company with no venture capitalists or lending institutions associated with it. That's unusual these days!

It's the only company I have reviewed that does not use multi-level marketing (MLM). When there is a long chain between you and the producer, you know you are paying a considerably higher price than you should.

Since Xtend-Life does not use MLM, it can include far more key ingredients and higher potencies for a competitive price. Remember - more than 80 ingredients!

Now you'd expect that with this many ingredients, the manufacturers would have to use tiny amounts of each, with low potencies and cheaper biological forms in order to make a profit, but that's not the case at all.

Large cost savings are created through Xtend-Life's effective marketing and distribution model of selling directly to the customer via the Internet only. Savings are channeled back into making Total Balance the best supplement you can get your hands on.

The potencies of the key ingredients, particularly the expensive herbal extracts, phytonutrients and gender support nutrients, are high, very high. See below.

Xtend-Life has also used the most beneficial molecular form of every ingredient. See my article Bioavailability of nutritional supplements - Evaluation Criteria No. 3 for more information on this.

For example, Xtend-Life includes the much more bioavailable Trans form of the expensive phytonutrient Resveratrol rather than skimping and using the cheaper Cis form, commonly used in multi ingredient health supplements.

Total Balance includes Resveratrol at 50% potency!

A 50% potency of Trans Resveratrol is a really expensive ingredient to incorporate into a multi-ingredient vitamin supplement.

Resveratrol is a powerful anti-cancer phytonutrient that works through more than a dozen anti-cancer mechanisms.

Its inclusion offers fantastic value for money. The common market rate of the 5% or 10 % potency comes in far below that of Total Balance.

Another noteworthy example is L-Glutathione in the reduced form - a crucial ingredient rarely found in multi-nutrient supplements due to its extreme price.

Other than Total Balance, only Lifepak contains L-Glutathione in the reduced form, and only in their more expensive Prime version. All you get with Lifepak is a token 10 mg compared to 110 mg in Total Balance.

Usana's Essentials contains L-Glutathione, but in the much cheaper regular form, which has poor bioavailability. (The molecules are too big and have trouble penetrating the cell membrane walls.)

A little known fact that you need to know is that L-Glutathione is severely damaged by stomach acid!

Since neither Lifepak nor Essentials uses enteric coating to protect this special ingredient, it's a real question as to how much, if any, of the L- Glutathione they contain makes it into the bloodstream.

Here's the honor roll of other super high potency ingredients in Total Balance:

• Beta - 1,3 Glucan 94%


• Beta Sitosterol 95%


• Chrysin 99%


• Inositol 98%


• Green Tea 98%


• Piperine 95%


• Quercetin 98%


• Turmeric 98%


• Rutin 95%


• Hesperiden 94%


• Myricetin 70%


• Policosanol 60%


• Bilberry 25%

P.S. Standardized Bilberry Extract is a very expensive ingredient. The 25% found in Total Balance is considered a very high potency for Bilberry extract.

Total Balance Locks In On Your Gender

Total Balance includes important ingredients that we need as we age, crucial nutrients that our bodies need but which we produce less and less of, particularly L-Glutathione and enzymes.

The men's and women's versions of Total Balance include nutrients proven to be helpful in preventing life threatening degenerative diseases common to both men and women.

But individually they also contain female nutrients that provide the specific hormonal and reproductive support a women needs and male nutrients to specifically address male health issues and disease concerns. With the exception of Lycopene, these were all but missing in the other supplements in my comparisons.

Folks, this is important. Men and women do not have the same biology and nutrient needs!

So, a nutritionally complete supplement must have a men's version and women's version and not just a one size fits all formula.

Essential Ingredients For The Girls

Hormonal balance is integral for well being in women. If hormones are working incorrectly, or are depleted, PMS, menstrual disorders and menopause can certainly bring their unwanted problems.

The safest way to re-balance a women's body is to provide it with specialized nutrients in the form of hormonal precursors. Total Balance Women's Plus nails this by including all 5 of the key hormone precursors:

• Black Cohosh


• Red Clover


• Dong Quai


• Wild Yam


• Isoflavones

It also incorporates specialized enzymes to assist in the absorption of the isoflavones.

Prostate Powering Ingredients for The Guys

When it comes to the guys there are three HUGE concerns....

• enlarged prostate (BHP)


• prostate cancer


• breasts

Breasts?

Yes!

Men's testosterone levels will steadily decline once they reach their mid twenties. Some men begin to notice symptoms of this in their 30’s whereas others may not be aware of steadily dropping levels until into their 50’s.

Less testosterone is produced and a significant proportion of this is converted to estrogen with various negative results.

With increased estrogen levels, men begin to develop breasts (aka 'Man Boobs') and suffer from decreased masculinity.

In fact most men 50+ have more estrogen in their bodies than their female partners because of this phenomenon!

So…the key to maintaining a healthy level of testosterone is:

1. To reduce the amount that is converted to estrogen


2. To help stimulate the body to increase its own production of testosterone

Total Balance Men's Plus contains a potent specialty nutrient called 'Chrysin' which achieves both of these aims!

The formula includes a form of Chrysin with 99% potency and a generous 100 mg dose for a full daily serving.

Now...down to the prostate.

Prostate problems are a scary prospect for all us guys. Statistically, prior to our 59th birthday, 1 in 2 guys will experience PBH, or enlarged prostate! This means lots of night-time trips to the bathroom.

Prostate cancer is even scarier than PBH because it's one of the deadliest diseases among men. The success rate of conventional cures is estimated at only 20 - 30% and there are many negative drug side effects.

Total Balance Unleashes A Potent Team Of Prostate Protectors!

Zinc is commonly found in supplements in the form of zinc citrate. Total Balance contains zinc citrate but it also includes a healthy dose of zinc aspartate.

Why?

Because the 2 types of zinc follow different metabolic pathways and only zinc aspartate travels directly to the prostate where it is needed.

The other most potent prostate nutrients in Total Balance Men's Plus are:

• Beta Sitosterol


• Corn silk Extracts


• Lycopene


• Saw Palmetto

The phytonutrient Quercetin also helps to protect against prostate cancer but to a lesser degree. It contains anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that block male hormones that encourage the growth of cancer cells.

Men's Plus has a hefty 150 mg of Quercetin at 98% potency, double the dose amount of the nearest competitor, Life Force.

State Of The Art Pharmaceutical Grade Delivery System

Total Balance is the only supplement using an enteric coating to protect key ingredients from destruction by stomach acid. This coating breaks down when the tablet arrives at the upper intestine where nutrient absorption takes place. This results in much higher bioavailability and greater value for money as more of the ingredients are making it into the bloodstream.

Key ingredients in Total Balance such as Alpha Lipoic acid, DMAE, L-Glutathione, L-Carnosine, N-Acetyl L-Cysteine, Resveratrol, enzymes and so on, which are susceptible to stomach acid, are mostly NOWHERE TO BE SEEN in Total Balance's competitors.

There's Very Few Inactive Ingredients - The Way It Should Be

Total Balance is chock-a-block full of active ingredients. It contains only 5 all natural excipients (inactives), which is at the low end of the optimal range. Cheap ineffective supplements are often loaded with excipients - close to 50% by weight!

Total Balance's Dynamic Formula Was Created By One Of The Worlds Most Recognized Bio-Scientists

Among Total Balance's greatest strengths and probably the most important are the qualifications and experience of the chief bio-scientist who formulated it.

Prof. Dr. A Munem Daoud PhD., MSc., ND.

Dr. Munem settled in New Zealand some 20 years ago. He is a world-renowned scientist who was included in the 1997-98 Who's Who in the World list for scientists His qualifications and experience are impeccable.

He has been hired by governments around the globe to create natural formulas that their own scientists could not master.

He has created brain formulas for the NASA space program! Wow.

Prof. Dr. Munem is a bio-chemist with a medical, pharmaceutical and nutraceutical background. He is one of a select few individuals who really understands the actions of various nutrients in the body at molecular level and in particular how they interact with each other.

This is something that is missing in a Physicians training!

Dr. Munems' expertise allows Total Balance to generate powerful synergy from its numerous individual ingredients.

There have been 4 generations of the Total Balance formula in only 8 years! (1999-2007)

As soon as significant advances in nutritional science allow , Xtend-Life authorizes Prof. Munem to rev up THE Total Balance formula. The large supplement companies have organizational structures which can never keep up with this kind of rapid development.

Total Balance Attracts Repeat Buyers Across The Globe

According to the company, Total Balance has an extremely high repeat sales percentage (in the 80's).

This can only be due to the positive results that users have experienced. Results that are definite and tangible. Remember, Xtend-Life does no advertising other than its Web-site, so Total Balances world-wide popularity is due to positive word of mouth from satisfied customers.

Total Balance is sold to customers in more than 35 countries worldwide. That's impressive for a small company.

My Immunity and My Lungs

My own results since I began using Total Balance have been fantastic.

Since I was a boy I've been susceptible to Bronchitis. When I arrived in Bangkok, Thailand, to work in 1994, I found that the dreadful levels of pollution gave me several cases of Bronchitis each year.

That was until I began using Total Balance. Since that day, I kid you not, I have not had one case of Bronchitis or been sick in any way for even a single day. Not even a cold.

Total Balance has, without a doubt, strengthened my immunity to a fantastic level.

I have recently restructured my health insurance and raised my deductible a great deal because I haven't been sick in 7 years. So Total Balance is saving me a significant amount of money on my yearly health insurance premiums.

That's surely got to be considered a strength!

"...Having tried your cholesterol lowering formula, through your consult and generosity I switched to Total Balance Men's Plus. My cholesterol numbers significantly improved after 1 month.

Also, I am in my early 40s and my wife is 29. I had been feeling the "effects" of my age and job stress, which basically equated me to a 4 cylinder engine in the "love" department, even though I'm in good physical condition. I tried your recommended "protocol" with Total Balance Men's Plus and Male Rejuvenator - 6 tablets a day of each for a month, plus your Omega 3/DHA Fish Oil Esters.

The word "Wow" cannot come close to describing what happened. I gained two cylinders a week! By week 4 I was a 12 cylinder powerhouse! Ford Escort to Ford GT 500 HP race car... My wife couldn't believe the power, endurance and stamina....Men, look no further, and throw that Viagra away!! Talk about rejuvenation...wow, it's called 'the Xtend-Life Protocol'!"

"Since taking Total Balance Men’s Plus my symptoms of prostate problems have lessened considerably. A recent CT scan has confirmed that the prostate is of normal size!!"

"I am now 57. Your supplements have made possible the following measurable differences....

A Pulmonary Function Test at the hospital in February 2003 (before using Xtend-Life products) showed a 45% increase in lung capacity after using Ventolin. A 10% increase indicates asthma.

I was prescribed a puffer to be used for the rest of my life and told that I would never get my lung capacity back.

I began using Xtend-Life Total Balance Men's Plus, Omega 3/DHA Esters and Coral Calcium in December 2003. In February 2005 after using your products for 14 months, a follow up Pulmonary Function Test showed only a 15% increase in lung capacity after using Ventolin. My Doctor was surprised with such a reversal of an irreversible condition....

....At 45 years old I began to wake up in the night with 'hydraulic urgency', i.e. needing to use the bathroom. I discovered Saw Palmetto at the local health food store and the condition reversed somewhat.

At 53 I noticed the quiet beginnings of erectile dysfunction with mild dismay and resignation. I started using Total Balance Men's Plus, Omega 3/DHA Esters and Coral Calcium just after my 55th birthday and discontinued use of Saw Palmetto. Your supplements not only eliminated the 'hydraulic urgency' and completely reversed the (very mild) erectile dysfunction issues, but enhanced function! My doctor says it's all in my head. My partner says that is not where she notices this improvement....

....it is a vast understatement to say that I am pleased with Xtend-Life supplements. You can be assured that I will continue to take them for the rest of my life and to promote them to anyone who is interested."

"I have been taking Total Balance Women's Plus now for 18 months and I like the product very much. The biggest positive change I have noticed is that my immune system is greatly improved. I used to catch the flu every year and three or four colds. Not anymore! Also, I have early onset osteoporosis and a recent bone scan proved that I have gained bone mass taking nothing but Total Balance!"
Cathi, USA

"I have tried many multi-vitamins in the past, and have had trouble sleeping for almost 9 months prior to taking your vitamins. In a nutshell, since taking Total Balance Men's Plus I almost immediately started feeling sleepy, when I'm "supposed" to, and actually fall asleep fast and have a much deeper sleep. My personal overall well-being has gone from a "blah" sort of feeling to one of "happy to be alive"... Very good product. Hopefully my vitamin search is over!"

"Dear Warren, Many thanks for your wonderful Total Balance Women's Plus formula. All my life I've been a low energy person, some times worse than other times.

Total Balance Comes Gift Wrapped With With Real Old Fashioned Customer Service

The customer service offered by Xtend-Life is exactly what customer service should be. No question or inquiry is too difficult or time consuming for the staff.

When I was first considering using Total Balance, I emailed the chairman, Warren Matthews, with a whole host of questions about the different supplements I was taking and whether Total Balance would be better.

He answered me within 24 hours. That made me sit up and take note . How hard is it to get through to, let alone get a response from, the chairman of a company these days?

Warren answered my questions in detail, about 3 pages worth if memory serves, and it must have gone on like this back and forth, 3 or 4 times before I agreed to give Total Balance a try.

Since then I have often written to the company with tricky questions. Their clinical medical herbalist, Nicolien, and medical nutritionist, Jo, love supplying me with detailed answers.

I was excited when Warren shared with me a little of how they will be significantly improving Total Balance in the near future. In a way that no other supplement has done! This story is still under wraps.

There's a great deal of cutting edge research and testing going on to ensure Total Balance remains the best vitamin supplement in the market.

The Xtend-Life company has a clear business mission not to release any product for sale unless it can clearly out-do the leading supplement of the same kind in the market while offering great value for money.

The company structure, marketing and distribution model, and staff, including most importantly, Dr Munem, allow Xtend-Life to make good on this promise.

The 5th Generation Due Out Mid 2008

Here's a heads up for you. The 5Th generation formula of Total Balance is due to be released either June or July 2008.

I've seen the formula and it's clearly MORE POWERFUL! The company tells me that it's about 25% more powerful.

They've increased the dose amounts of some key ingredients like Zeaxanthin and added in some more expensive ingredients like SAMe - which you will normally only find in a specific formula aimed at neuro-complications. There's a lot more changes as well but I've been asked to keep them quiet at this stage- sorry folks!

Weaknesses - Just A Few, Nothing Major

Individual Studies

Perhaps the most important weakness is that, at this time, there are no clinical studies on Total Balance as a complete product. All studies to date are for the individual ingredients. This is the norm in the supplement industry.

There are hundreds of thousands of studies on the individual ingredients. Of course, I know Total Balance works, but that's not going to be good enough for some people.

Warren Matthews told me that in 2009 they will be looking at testing protocols to prove that Total Balance can rejuvenate cellular DNA.

Total Balance Packaging Is Uninspiring

I don't think the design and color of the bottle labels give the Xtend-Life products their due justice.

Update - Oct. 2006: The company has just told me that new, more distinct bottle labels are on the way.

Further Update: This has been done and the new labels look much better.

Total Balance Contains No Vitamin K

Now we come to the issue of no Vitamin K in Total Balance. Whether there ought to be Vitamin K in a supplement is a contentious issue that would be hard to prove one way or another. Vitamin K is well known for both growing and maintaining bones.

Xtend-Life no longer includes vitamin K in Total Balance because vitamin K is now considered a prescription drug in some countries, most noticeably, Canada. Vitamin K also adversely reacts with some pharmaceutical drugs.

Since Total Balance contains 5 other potent nutrients for bone health (i.e. calcium, magnesium, vitamin D, isoflavones, and boron) those with concerns about bone health should not worry. The lack of vitamin K was what caused Total Balance to lose the bone health category of my most potent nutrient research.

This was the only category where Total Balance didn't come out on top!

Total Balance Tablets Are A little Larger

The size of the tablets is a little larger than some other leading supplements. Although this is not a problem for me, I could imagine it being a problem for those who have difficulty swallowing tablets. You can't break the tablets in two or you'll destroy the enteric coating.

Well that's all the weaknesses I can come up with. If you think you can see any others kindly contact me via this link. I'd love to hear from you.
