Why should I select Total Balance Unisex over the gender specific Total Balance options?

Total Balance Unisex has been developed to be used by either gender, from age 12 and upwards. It does not contain any hormonal balancing nutrients as are found in the gender specific versions. The 'space' freed up by the removal of these enables the addition of other valuable nutrients to help address the causes of aging, as well as helping to initiate DNA repair.

Total Balance Unisex is the best choice for you if you are a male or female aged under thirty. If you are aged over thirty but do not have any specific hormonal concerns, you may take the Unisex version; this is especially convenient for couples or family members who want the convenience of using the same product.

We also suggest this product for post-menopausal women, as the hormone support in Total Balance Women's is not generally required after this time.

Can I take Total Balance if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?

No, we do not recommend this. The only product we recommend during this time is our Omega 3/DHA fish oil, which has valuable properties to support both the health of the mother and baby.

Fish oil is highly recommended by many medical professionals during pregnancy and breastfeeding to help support infant brain development, as well as systemic organ growth. It can also play a valuable role in supporting the post-natal mood and brain function of the mother. As the baby draws from the mother's precious stores of DHA they can easily become depleted, therefore supporting levels with a supplement such as Omega 3/DHA fish oil is very wise.

Will this supplement interfere with prescription medications?

All supplements should be taken 2-3 hours away from prescription medication. We recommend checking with your doctor before beginning any supplement.

How is Total Balance Unisex different to Multi-Xtra?

Total Balance Unisex is a complete nutrient system containing an array of vitamins and minerals, as well as potent antioxidants, amino acids and age defying ingredients, all in bioavailable forms. Multi-Xtra is a great product in its own right and includes many essential daily nutrients, but it does not include the same amount of 'added extras' that Total Balance does. Total Balance Unisex is best for people wanting a comprehensive, high-quality product, whereas Multi-Xtra is appealing for its affordable, but still high-quality formulation.

What is the function of the enteric coating on the Total Balance tablets?

The enteric coating on the Total Balance tablets protects some of the sensitive ingredients, such as SAMe, from being destroyed by the stomach acid. The enteric coating ensures the tablets do not begin dissolving until they enter the small intestine, where the best possible absorption can occur.

Can I take other Xtendlife supplements alongside Total Balance?

Yes, you can. All our products are formulated to work synergistically with each other.
