What does Total Balance Women's do that the Total Balance Unisex version does not?
Very simply, it includes a number of specific ingredients to
help naturally balance female hormones which in turn help to combat the
negative symptoms of PMS and Menopause.
As with all versions of Total Balance it contains a
comprehensive array of essential vitamins, minerals and co-factors.
Additionally, it contains extra nutrients to help with energy and the
general causes of aging and DNA repair. However, there are less of
these special nutrients in this version than there are in the standard
Total Balance Unisex version. This is because of the female specific
nutrients we added to the Total Balance Women's version.
Only the Total Balance Women's PREMIUM contains
everything that is in the Unisex standard and more. However, that does
require an increase in the daily dose from 4 to 7 tablets.
What difference will I feel?
This varies for each individual. If you currently suffer from hot
flashes or PMS symptoms you may experience a reduction in these almost
immediately. On the other hand it may take time for the benefits to
build up...perhaps 2 - 3 months.
You are also 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, they may go through a winter and then
realise 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.
Is it possible that I could feel any bad effects after I start taking Total Balance?
It is unlikely...but possible. 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 these 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.
Can Total Balance Women's be taken while pregnant or nursing?
While Total Balance Women's is safe to take in the
preconception stage, once you know you are pregnant it is best to stop
taking it. We are not able to recommend any of our supplements, other
than our Omega 3/DHA Fish Oil, to women who are pregnant or nursing. If
you are in this situation and wish to take this product please consult
your personal physician before use.
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 Women’s 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 a highly allergic person, especially to shrimp and other shell fish… Will Total Balance Women's 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 am taking Estraderm (estradiol) as prescribed by my GP. Is it safe to take Total Balance Women’s with this?
Total Balance Women’s formula is safe to take with
HRT. However, as with all medications you should discuss taking this
supplement with your physician. We recommend leaving a 3–4 hour gap
between taking any prescription medications and taking your
supplementation.
I suffer terribly from menopausal symptoms, will I notice a difference?
Yes, it is very possible you will notice quite a difference. Total
Balance Women’s contains ingredients like Dong Quai, Red Clover
extract, Wild Yam extract and others in specific dosages. In
combination with other vitamins, minerals, enzymes, amino acids,
co-factors and other specialty nutrients it may help to reduce and
alleviate such symptoms.
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 or more
of the other Xtend-Life products. In all cases you should try to
combine Total Balance with our Omega 3/DHA Fish Oil.
If you are in doubt please contact us for further
advice.
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 our immune system, heart, muscles, circulation,
joints and reproductive system. 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.
