Total Balance Unisex has been developed to be used by either gender from age 12 and more. We have removed all hormonal balancing nutrients to enable this. In the 'space' freed up by the removal of these nutrients we have added additional nutrients that will help combat the main causes of aging, plus help initiate DNA repair. It is also suitable for post menopausal women.

What difference will I feel?
This varies for each individual. You are likely to feel an increase in energy and an improved sense of wellbeing. Some people who are in good health may not feel any difference because the changes are so subtle and can sometimes only be detected some months later if they discontinue the supplement.
For example, you may go through a winter and then realize that they have not had the usual cold, or caught the flu whilst others around them suffered.
Irrespective of the direct effects that you may or may not feel you can have peace of mind knowing that you are feeding essential nutrients to your organs which will help keep your body healthy and slow down the aging process.

How do I take Total Balance Unisex?
For best results we suggest that you follow our recommended protocol of 4 tablets per day, which equates to 1 bottle per month (2 tablets in the morning and 2 later in the day). Ideally this could be combined with our Omega 3/DHA Fish Oil at 2 soft gels per day. This makes a good daily nutrient program for general health improvement and protection.
Is it possible that I could feel any bad effects after I start taking Total Balance?
It is possible, but unlikely. Depending upon the state of your health you may experience symptoms such as nausea or headaches over the first few days. This can occur if you have high levels of toxins in your body. Total Balance helps to activate your system to get rid of them, sometimes resulting in mild temporary side effects. If you experience this we recommend that you reduce the dose rate until they pass. Also make sure that you drink plenty of pure water to help flush your system.

Why is the Vitamin E Dosage in the Total Balance only 100 IU (50 mg) instead of the higher doses found in some other products?
For long-term use 100IU is the safest dose level. Because Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin it is important not to ingest high levels on a regular basis. The amounts of Vitamin E that we use are still within the clinically proven beneficial range. It should be noted that we only use the natural form of Vitamin E which has greater benefits than synthetic Vitamin E.
Additionally, we also use a broad spectrum Tocotrienol which is another form of Vitamin E. This significantly improves the potency of Vitamin E.

I am a highly allergic person, especially to shrimp and other shell fish… Will Total Balance Unisex affect me?
Unfortunately, our Total Balance range, including Women's Total Balance, contains N-Acetyl Glucosamine, which is made from crab shell. Because it is refined and only in a very small quantity it is unlikely to be a problem, but you should be aware of it and proceed with caution by only taking one tablet a day to start off with and then building up your daily dose gradually.

I have a problem with depression. Is it likely that I will notice a difference?
Yes, it is very likely that you will. The neuro nutrients included in the formula have been shown in multiple clinical studies to be of considerable benefit to people suffering from depression and stress. SAMe in particular is helpful as it enhances the activity of serotonin.

Will Total Balance Unisex interfere with prescription medications?
As with all supplements caution must be applied if you are on medications of any sort. Total Balance contains ingredients like Gingko Biloba, which help thin the blood although the amounts are generally within tolerable limits for those people on medication, but, nonetheless if you are on blood thinning medication this has to be taken into account.
If you are using prescription drugs please let your health professional know that you are using this product. It is very rare that they will object, but play it safe and let them know. _________________________________________________________________________________
I am taking other nutritional supplements and natural medications. Is this OK?
Generally yes, but it is usually unnecessary and doesn't make economic sense unless you have been diagnosed with a specific deficiency. There are risks associated with taking high doses of certain vitamins and minerals, e.g. high doses of Vitamin C can actually contribute to the production of free radicals.
Sometimes it is practical to combine Total Balance with one of the other Xtend-Life range. In all cases you should try to combine TB with our Omega 3 DHA/Fish oil.

What else can I do to help myself?
To reach optimum health it is always important to combine a generally healthy lifestyle with any supplement regime. Even moderate exercise, is proven beneficial to your immune system, heart, muscles, circulation and joints.
A healthy and balanced diet of complete vitamins, minerals, essential enzymes, amino acids and trace elements is also essential and will help to keep your heart healthy and optimize your overall health. ________________________________________________________________________________________
