Reverse The Effects of Aging With A Powerful Alternative Health SupplementPlease take a few minutes to read this page in its entirety. It could be one of the most important pages you'll ever read for your health and well being. The editors here at Nutritional-Supplement-Info have been taking alternative health supplements and other alternative health products for over 10 years. In time, as we became more involved in the research of nutritional supplements and the industry’s manufacturing standards, we came to several conclusions, but the most important was that it’s difficult to find an honest alternative health supplement -- one that actually contains the amount of ingredients stated on the label. Don't just take our word for it. No less an authority than the FDA realizes the scope of this industry-wide problem. The bottomline is that alternative health supplement makers are currently self-policed. As a result, many manufacturers of alternative health products make absolutely outrageous claims with respect to their efficacy. Most of these claims are pure marketing hype, with little to no scientific evidence or clinical studies to back them. The other monumental -- and shocking -- problem of the unregulated alternative health supplements industry is that many products on the market harbor toxic contaminants! It's hard to believe but it's true. Well respected consumerlabs.com, for example, has shown many supplements to be tainted with toxins. Aren't nutritional supplements and alternative health products supposed to IMPROVE your health, not impair it? It’s for these reasons -- and more -- that we wanted this site to be more than just an informational source on the therapeutic benefits and side effects of popular alternative health supplements. Because, in the end, what good does it do for a 50 year old man taking an alternative health supplement for his prostate or a woman taking nutrients to help mitigate menopausal symptoms if the supplement doesn’t have any active ingredients, or is contaminated? On the other hand, in the course of our research, we did find some very worthwhile alternative health supplements on the market, but there were other considerations that disqualified them. First, we know that many vitamins, minerals, herbal extracts, and specialty nutrients work synergistically or can interact with one another. This itself presents a new array of problems. 1. Most consumers understandably do not have in depth knowledge about supplements, and, as such, they do not realize that many ingredients can end up canceling each other out, have harmful side effects when combined, or not be effective due to the lack of another nutrient it needs to function. 2. Even for those who have thoroughly researched the synergistic nature of supplements, it is very cumbersome to have to take 10 to 15 (if not more) different supplements per day (as we ourselves used to do). Most people, due to the time and hassle, would eventually just stop taking the supplements altogether, thereby receiving no benefits. Other than that, it is just simply too expensive to have to buy all the different ingredients as individual products. It would end up costing many hundreds of dollars per month. And who can afford that!
Sidenote: There are valid reasons when you might want to take an individual product with just one ingredient. Sometimes it could be due to a certain physical condition that creates a pronounced or chronic deficiency, a special need, or simply to experiment in order to maximize the therapeutic benefits. Our quest to find the right alternative health supplement for ourselves eventually led us to a company outside of the U.S. where the manufacturing regulations for dietary and nutritional supplements is very stringent (far exceeds FDA standards). Here's what we discovered... A Comprehensive and Honest Alternative Health SupplementWhat if we told you there was a supplement product available that's jam packed with nutrients that have been shown in scientific studies to:
Well, that product exists and if you are serious about your health, you'll want to keep reading... The company that produces this product is aptly named Xtend-Life Natural Products, and their flagship product, called Total Balance, was just the kind of alternative health supplement we were looking for: an all in one supplement containing almost 70 powerful nutrients to restore youthful vitality and keep the body fully functioning. What is Total Balance? 1. It is a synergistic, comprehensive product formulated by a scientist with absolutely top notch credentials, not hyped and conceived by marketers as is the case with many other products. Each tablet of Total Balance contains the majority of the ingredients we cover in this entire site! To view the ingredients (and scientific studies associated with them) in Total Balance, click here: Alternative Health Supplements. 2. We were very impressed to see that the company adhered to pharmaceutical GMP compliance, which is among the most rigorous manufacturing standards for dietary supplements in the world. 3. In addition, they also had a COA (Certificate of Analysis) on file for each batch of product produced. In short, this confirms the potency of the ingredients used. 4. Another extremely important point to us was that they used only standardized herbal extracts. These are what contain the active ingredients of the herb, and, hence, where the therapeutic benefit lies. Many companies do NOT use standardized herbal extracts, because alternative health supplements manufactured without them are much cheaper to produce. 5. Now, one of our biggest concerns was price. We were, quite frankly, tired of spending more on our alternative health supplements and products every month than we did on groceries! After doing a price comparison of Total Balance to other products on the market, and calculating what it would cost to buy all of the ingredients separately, we were extremely impressed. In short, Total Balance represented unbeatable value for money. 6. Last but not least, Xtend-Life had the strongest money back guarantee we've ever come across for nutritional supplements: a full one year refund, no questions asked policy. Most places, as you are well aware, offer a scant 30 or 60 day guarantee. If you factor in the time it takes these companies to ship you their product, and the time it takes to ship it back, a 30 day guarantee is virtually worthless. And we're speaking from first hand experience: one of the editors returned some alternative health products once after only a few days of use from a company with a 30-day guarantee and their response was that they could not honor the refund because the product arrived back to them 1 day after the guarantee expired! 7. Our last concern was that Xtend-Life is a company based in New Zealand, while we live in the U.S. We didn’t want to buy an alternative health supplement that took weeks to arrive, never arrived at all, or had exorbitant shipping costs. In this regard, we were very pleased to find their shipping was extremely fast, with all of our orders arriving usually within several days! And the shipping cost was often cheaper than compared to other supplement companies based in the U.S. Update: We have now been taking Xtend-Life Total Balance (and their Energy Product) for over two years, and have been VERY pleased with the results and the customer service: we have noticed an increase in energy levels, mental focus, and general feeling of well-being. One of the Editor's fathers has taken the Xtend-Life Cholesterol Formula alternative health supplement for 5 months now, and has achieved excellent results. Whether the results can be exclusively traced to the Cholesterol product is debatable, but during this time, he had changed nothing about his diet except using the product. Other family members of ours have tried Xtend-Life's other products, such as their high quality Omega-3 Fish Oil, and reported very positive results. Bottom line? If you are looking for alternative health supplements that will serve as the foundation of your nutritional supplement regimen, won't break the bank account, uses only the highest quality ingredients, and is manufactured under the most stringent regulatory conditions, you may wish to have a closer look by visiting their website: Xtend-Life Natural Products We have researched dozens and dozens of companies before deciding to recommend Xtend-Life and their products over all the rest -- and only after we have taken them ourselves for a prolonged period of time. In short, this recommendation doesn't come lightly. Please keep in mind, however, that everybody reacts differently to different nutrients, so only you can decide if Total Balance is the right product for you. We also strongly advise that you consult with your physician before taking ANY alternative health supplements, not just Total Balance, since some of these nutrients can interact with certain prescription and over the counter medications.
