FAQ's
Body Balance
Q: How much honey is in a serving of Body Balance?
A: The content of honey in Body Balance is approximately 3 grams per 4oz.
suggested serving. The honey in Body Balance is organic, raw, and unpasteurized, and has
been shown to reduce inflammatory reactions as well as uric acid levels in the body (both of
which are highly beneficial health attributes)
Q: Is Body Balance safe and recommended to children over 1 years old?
A: Absolutely! As a whole food (Superfood) as long as they are at least 1 years old Body
Balance is not only safe, but highly recommended by thousands of physicians
recommending LifeForce products for health and wellness benefits. In addition, children
LOVE the taste of the Body Balance.
Q: Are the ingredients in Body Balance natural?
A: All the main ingredients in Body Balance are natural, 90% of them are ORGANIC (only the
sea vegetation is not because it is WILD HARVESTED, and you cannot declare anything
organic unless it’s farm raised), and it is a WHOLE FOOD.
Q: How much iodine is in a serving of Body Balance?
A: The iodine levels in Body Balance vary from lot to lot and primarily come from the
sea vegetation. The iodine is present in the free, ionic form or iodide. This form is
perfectly safe to take and any excess would be eliminated from the body. The amounts
are approximately 0.5 mg iodide/30 ml serving or 500 mcg (micrograms) iodide/30 ml
serving.
Q: Is Body Balance kosher?
A: Body Balance is certified Kosher through the Kosher Supervision of American
organization (KSA).
Q: What are electrolytes and does Body Balance contain them?
A: Electrolytes are minerals that dissociate in water to form ions (charged particles like
sodium, Na+). Yes, Body Balance contains a complete profile of electrolytes at the
following concentrations (amounts may vary slightly per batch):
_ Sodium (Na): 4.5 mg/30 ml serving
_ Potassium (K): 82.5 mg/30 ml serving
_ Chloride (Cl): 1.0 mg/30 ml serving
_ Magnesium (Mg): 6.4 mg/30 ml serving
_ Calcium (Ca): 6.2 mg/30 ml serving
Q: Why is citric acid in Body Balance and is it made from fruits or some other
way?
A: Citric acid is used in Body Balance primarily as an acidifier (produces an acid
environment for the performance of the preservatives). The citric acid is derived by
fermentation of carbohydrates from lemons, limes, pineapple juice and molasses. We
use a powder form that completely dissolves in water. It is the highest food grade we
can purchase and meets the strict specifications of the USP (United States
Pharmacopoeia), FCC (Food Chemical Codex) and certified Kosher. An additional
benefit is that it functions as an antioxidant in Body Balance.
Q: What is the function of potassium sorbate and potassium benzoate in Body
Balance and are these ingredients safe?
A: Potassium Sorbate is a potassium salt version of sorbic acid. Sorbic acid is a
polyunsaturated fat used to inhibit mold growth. Potassium benzoate is the potassium
salt of benzoic acid, also a polyunsaturated fat (used for over 80 years as a food
preservative). Potassium benzoate and potassium sorbate are added as preservatives.
They maintain the freshness of the product through its shelf life and inhibit the growth of
microorganisms. They also help maintain the proper pH. These two preservatives,
similar to vinegar, salt or other natural preservatives, are safe as determined by the US
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and are listed on the Generally Recognized as
Safe (GRAS) list. These two preservatives have been used since the 1950's and today
stands as one of the most thoroughly tested food additives in history. In fact, few
substances have had the kind of extensive, rigorous, and long-term testing than these
two preservatives.
Q: Could you please explain the process in making Body Balance and what is the
difference between hot and cold processing?
A: We know that the certain vitamins and nutrients (enzymes) are heat sensitive.
Valuable nutrients in whole foods occur naturally and in small amounts. This is how
Body Balance is processed. Heat processing is used for sterilization and pasteurization
and these trace nutrients may be totally destroyed. Thus, the cold processing prevents
food nutrients from being altered by heat. The nutrients are in a more natural state, and
often easier to absorb.
Q: Can you explain in more detail the cold processing of Body Balance and other
Life Force products?
A: Since all of our products contain high quality selected ingredients, we do not use any
kind of heat, pasteurization or sterilization on any of our products.
The reason for this is that we don't want to cause degradation/destruction of a broad
spectrum of naturally occurring phytonutrients in our products (along with other heat
sensitive nutrients such as enzymes, proteins, traces of vitamins, etc.).
Our scientific, technical and production team have implemented comprehensive and
thorough process specifications and controls to ensure the freshest possible delivery of
natural nutrients in their most natural state. This is accomplished with proprietary
processing, cold packaging, and exceptional quality control. Our packaging protects the
sensitive ingredients from heat, light and oxygen, the three main factors leading to
degradation and loss of effectiveness.
Our products are a result of a long evaluation process and hard teamwork. Therefore,
more detailed information regarding our product processing is our company proprietary
information.
Q: I am on a restricted carbohydrate diet so I keep very close count of my grams
of carbs. Could you tell me what the carbohydrates are in Body Balance?
A: The total carbohydrate per serving (1 fluid ounce) is 2 gm, or 4 gm per 2 oz serving.
Total carbohydrate on the label refers to both COMPLEX and SIMPLE. The 1 gm
SIMPLE sugar comes from the honey and black cherry. The other 1 gm of COMPLEX
comes from the aloe vera and sea vegetation. Together they form the total amount.
Q: I am currently taking medication and concerned about the Vitamin K levels.
Could you please tell me what they are?
A: The Vitamin K concentration is 1.5 micrograms/30 ml serving (amounts may vary
slightly per batch). This information needs to be shared with your primary healthcare
provider prescribing your medication or pharmacist.
Q: I noticed that Body Balance has minerals like Arsenic, Cadmium, Mercury and
Lead. Aren't these minerals toxic?
A: All the minerals contained in Body Balance occur in nature and are plant based.
They are in an organic and ionic state and not in the elemental form. The amounts of
arsenic, cadmium, mercury and lead contained within the product are well below
detectable limits using very sophisticated laboratory equipment. They are generally in
the parts per million (ppm), parts per billion (ppb,) or even parts per trillion (ppt) levels.
Every lot made is tested and cleared by our QA department.
The levels are no greater than what you would find in common fruits or vegetables in a
market. A basic tenet of pharmacology is: "The dose makes the poison." Minerals, or
any nutrient for that matter, are potentially toxic in massive amounts. Body Balance has
been sold for over 20 years and the company does not have a single adverse event
reported associated with these minerals.
Q: Could you please describe the sea vegetation used in Body Balance?
A: Sea vegetation is one of the oldest living species on Earth. The sea vegetation is
harvested from the Behring's Straits located near Alaska from what is called the
"Regeneration Zone," an oceanographic term. The minerals are in the highest
concentration relative to other oceans (e.g., Atlantic, Indian, etc.) and the recycling is
from the very deep waters (approximately 1,000 feet) allowing the sea vegetation to
take up a greater concentration of minerals. The depth of the area is between 40 and
200 feet below the surface of the water where the sun-ripened vegetation (more than 18
hours during the summer months) is cultivated.
Q: Does Body Balance contain folic acid?
A: Body Balance contains a approximately 8.0mg of naturally occurring folate (when used in the
proper adult dosage of 4 ounces) amount. The Life Force International product
AminoRegulator also contains folate (Canada - Folic Acid and Vitamin B6) at 300
micrograms (mcg)/serving. Each serving of AminoRegulator is 3 droppers or 3 ml.
TrueGreens also contains natural sources of folate at approximately 14 mcg/serving.
.
Q: How much iron is in Body Balance?
A: As Body Balance is a whole food the iron content varies slightly from batch to batch.
Each finished product lot is analyzed for iron and the other major, trace and ultratrace
minerals. On average the iron content is approximately 0.62 mg iron/30 ml (1 oz.)
serving. Based on this number the iron content would be 1.2 mg iron/60 ml (2 oz.).
Q: Can you give me a ballpark figure of the percent of daily allowance of the
vitamins in Body Balance?
A: Body Balance is a whole food and the vitamins are naturally -occurring in a "perfect
balance." We do not formulate Body Balance with synthetic vitamins to meet
Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) levels. As a whole food, the vitamin levels
vary from lot to lot, therefore, we do not list these values on the label.
Q: Should I use Body Balance as a daily multivitamin and mineral supplement?
A: : Absolutely! Body Balance contains over 121 naturally occurring elements: 74 Minerals, 21
Vitamins, 21 Amino Acids, 11 Live Enzymes, 8 GlycoNutrients, 3 Essential Fatty Acids,
and several other phytonutients. It is perfectly balanced and in symmetry (found in mother
nature) and is in the exact form that your body should be getting ALL of it’s nutrition from (a
whole food form), not synthetically designed from isolated synthetic components in a
laboratory. It is also in a liquid whole food form, meaning your cells recognize it and absorb
it at 98%+ into your body for immediate absorption and assimilation (compared to the pill
form of vitamins which abrorb only 10-20% (Physicians Desk Reference 1996, page 1542.
For all of these reasons Body Balance serves as a SUPERIOR alternative to taking the pill
form of vitamins and minerals, and can deliver remarkable results that you can FEEL and
measure.
Q: Could you provide me with some information about the breakdown of this
product and clarify exactly what the aluminum levels are?
A: Based on the analysis of the most recent lot of Body Balance, the aluminum
concentration was found to be 0.014 mg/30 ml serving or 0.014 ppm/serving. The
typical daily dietary intake of aluminum is between 2-10 mg. Sources include baked
goods prepared with chemical leavening agents (e.g., baking powder), processed
cheese, grains, vegetables, herbs and teas. Once again though the important thing to
consider is this: All the minerals contained in Body Balance occur in nature and are plant
based. They are in an organic and ionic state and not in the elemental form. In the organic
form these minerals in Body Balance are not only SAFE but they provide HEALTH
BENEFITS. This can be verified by anyone who has a PHD in Nutrition.
Every lot of Body Balance is made is tested and cleared by our QA department.
Body Balance has been sold for over 20 years and the company does not have a single
adverse event reported associated with these minerals.
Q: What is the difference between glyconutrients and phytonutrients? Are
glyconutrients included in Body Balance?
A: Glyconutrients is a general term to molecules that are foods and nutritional
supplements that are specific carbohydrates or sugars (saccharides) combined with
other nutrients. For example, there are glycoproteins, where the sugar molecule is
combined with a protein molecule. Another example would be glycolipids, where the
sugar molecule is combined with a lipid (fat) molecule.
Glyconutrients function to provide specific molecules to the surface of cells having a
wide variety of cellular communication functions and may play a role in many diseases.
There are eight "essential" sugars within this category and they are: mannose, glucose,
galactose, xylose, N-acetylglucosamine, N-acetylgalactosamine, fucose (not to be
confused with fructose) and N-acetylneuraminic acid. Each one of these glyconutrients
plays a specific role in a wide variety of immune functions, healing, nerve
communication, energy metabolism, etc.
Phytonutrients are defined as nutrients found in plants. The term "phyto" originated
from the Greek word for plant. Phytonutrients are organic components found in grains,
fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, teas, etc. Unlike traditional nutrients (carbohydrates,
proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals), which are "essential," phytonutrients are not
essential and because of this are commonly referred to as phytochemicals. They cover
a very broad category of compounds like antioxidants, carotenoids, flavonoids
(polyphenols), isoflavones (phytoestrogens), phenols, etc. Glyconutrients are, in fact, a
category within phytonutrients.
Both glyconutrients (e.g., acemannan and glycoproteins) and phytonutrients (e.g.,
glucomannans) are found in Body Balance, as they are components of aloe vera and
sea vegetables.
Q: Can you please tell me about the aloe vera juice in Body Balance?
A: The aloe vera juice used in our products is always fresh. We do not use any dried
aloe extracts or dried concentrates. As you already know, all fruit or vegetable juices
naturally contain water. At Life Force, our Body Balance consists of fresh 1:1 aloe vera
juice. All our product formulas contain high quality and specially selected ingredients.
Special quality requirements have to be met before any ingredient is used in our
products. As a result of a long evaluation process and hard work, our scientific,
technical and production team ensures the freshest possible delivery of natural nutrients
in their most natural state with cold processing, proprietary packaging, and exceptional
quality control. Therefore, more detailed information regarding our ingredient sourcing
and processing is our company proprietary information.
Q: Is the aloe vera in Body Balance certified organic?
A: Yes, the aloe vera is certified organic and verified by a third party organization,
Quality Assurance International (QAI), a leading certifier of organic products.
Q: Is the black cherry concentrate and honey that is added to Body Balance
certified organic?
A: The black cherry concentrate and honey we use in Body Balance is all natural,
Kosher certified, and certified organic.
OsteoProCare
Q: Why should you not refrigerate OsteoProCare?
A: The reason that OsteoProCare should NOT be refrigerated is because the
refrigeration precipitates the minerals in the OsteoProCare. In short, it causes the
minerals in the OsteoProCare to settle even more in the bottom of the bottle and makes
it more difficult to shake the content to loosen up for pouring.
Q: Occasionally, I have found sediment at the bottom of the OsteoProCare bottle
and want to know what it is and how it can be prevented.
A: Specifically, the residue that settles is a calcium carbonate cellulose complex
precipitate. The best way to resolve this is make sure you do not refrigerate the
product, shake it well before each use and you can also lay the bottle on its side for
storage. You can also add a little warm water and use a chopstick to stir up the
suspension. These recommendations should take care of the issue.
Q: What are the sources of the glucosamine in the OsteoProCare?
A: The glucosamine is sourced from the shells of crustaceans (e.g., shrimp and crabs),
specifically, the chitin component of the shellfish. It is approximately 90% shrimp and
10% crab shells. The glucosamine is in the hydrochloride form (HCl), which yields the
greatest amount of "elemental" glucosamine as compared to glucosamine sulfate. This
property serves to provide the natural arthritis pain relief.
Q: What are the sources of the chondroitin in the OsteoProCare?
A: The chondroitin sulfate is derived from bovine (cow) trachea (windpipe) as a byproduct
of the cattle industry. If the undesirable concerns are BSE in cows, there
should not be a concern due to the rigorous heat, chemical treatments and extreme
digestion and processing of the bovine material to convert the trachea into cartilage
powder and to chondroitin sulfate. Also, chondroitin does not come from neurological or
glandular tissue, but from the trachea, which does not appear on the FDA's list of
bovine tissues that may present a risk. Chondroitin sulfate is sourced from U.S. cattle
only and each lot of raw material comes with a verified certificate of analysis (COA) from
the US Department of Agriculture that it is BSE free.
Q: How much iodine is in the OsteoProCare?
A: OsteoProCare: 150 mg iodine/30 ml serving or 150 mcg/30 ml serving.
Q: What is the source of the 46 rare earth minerals in OsteoProCare?
A: The source is from the Montmorillonite, which is described on the label. This mineral
formula is derived from clay. It is in microscopic crystals and has a high attraction for
water.
Q: Can you tell me the source of the calcium in OsteoProCare? I've heard some
conflicting information about calcium carbonate and would like any information
about the calcium carbonate in the OsteoProCare product.
A: The source of calcium in OsteoProCare is from calcium carbonate. It is then
processed with orotic acid to yield calcium orotate. In the finished product, the calcium
is in both forms - calcium carbonate and calcium orotate. Of the 1,200 mg/serving of
calcium in the finished product the approximate percentage of calcium orotate to
calcium carbonate is 20 to 80.
Q: Could you please tell me how many carbohydrates are there in each 15ml
serving of the OsteoProCare?
A: There is 6 gm carbohydrates/30 ml; therefore, there would be 3 gm carbohydrates in
a 15 ml serving of OsteoProCare.
Q: I have a friend who is interested in taking the OsteoProCare but she
commented that the Glucosamine Hydrochloride is only 100 mg and Chondroitin
Sulfate is 63mg per 15ml serving. This would be 200 mg and 126 mg respectively
each day. She would like to know why the dose is so low when most other
sources recommend 1500 mg of the 'GH' and 1200 mg of 'CS' daily?
A: The OsteoProCare was primarily formulated as a calcium/trace mineral liquid
supplement. You can add the FlexeoPlus (Canada - Vitamin C and Zinc) to make up
the difference in glucosamine and chondroitin. FlexeoPlus also has the beneficial
nutriceuticals, MSM and ipriflavone to complement the OsteoProCare.
Q: What form is the orotic acid that is in the OsteoProCare? Is it in a hydrateform, anhydrous
form or any type of other form?
A: Technically both, the raw material orotic acid is anhydrous (without water) at first, but
then becomes a hydrate (in water) when making the pre-mix prior to adding to the final
OsteoProCare product.
Q: What is orotic acid? Is it a natural source found in foods?
A: Orotic acid is also referred to as whey factor and is naturally occurring in milk. Other
food sources are root vegetables like carrots and beets. In humans, it functions as a
nucleic acid precursor for DNA and RNA working synergistically with folate and vitamin
B12. Originally classified as vitamin B13, it is not officially a vitamin. Much of the work
with orotic acid or orotates were done by Dr. Hans Nieper over 40 years ago showing
that orotates have unique mineral transport abilities through cell membranes.
Q: Does OsteoProCare contain cholesterol? I am on a strict cholesterol diet and
noticed that OsteoProCare has some ingredients from shellfish.
A: There is a negligible amount of cholesterol n OsteoProCare. Cholesterol is found in
animal products. The reference to the shellfish is that the glucosamine is derived from
shellfish through an extensive purification process. The only cholesterol related component
in OsteoProCare is that from the Vitamin D. OsteoProCare is perfectly compatible with a
cholesterol-restricted diet.
AminoCharge
Q: AminoCharge has Isolated Soy Protein listed on the label. Can you please
explain this form of soy protein?
A: Soy is available in many different forms. Soybeans are both higher in protein and fat
than other beans. Soy flour and soy powder are made from whole soybeans that have
been roasted and ground and mostly used in baking. Soy concentrates are made from
defatted soybeans by removing most of the water-soluble, non-protein ingredients and
approximately 65% protein. Isolated soy protein is the purest form of soy where all
ingredients are removed except for the protein, which is approximately 90%.
TrueGreens
Q: Is the soy in the TrueGreens and AminoCharge GMO?
A: The soy used in our TrueGreens and AminoCharge is organic and non-GMO
Q: Are all of the ingredients in TrueGreens certified organic?
A: No, the following ingredients are certified organic: wheat grass, soy, barley, alfalfa,
and spirulina. Although the remainder of ingredients is not certified organic they are of
highest quality available in the marketplace. Therefore, the raw materials used in our
products must be:
_ Microbiologically safe and free of pathogen bacteria.
_ Free from extraneous material, preservatives, and dangerous chemicals.
_ Have no presence of hazardous heavy metals, herbicides or pesticides.
Colloidal Silver
Canada - Silver 6x
Q: I am aware of various silver products and not all that claim they are colloidal
are actually colloidal. A "colloid" is a particle and a particle is NOT an ion.
Ions are affected by light and colloids are not. It is either one or the other and if it
is ionic then per the referenced website, it is not "Colloidal." Please explain.
A: Life Force International Colloidal Silver is 10 ppm silver. It is 80% silver particles
(colloidal silver) and 20% ionic silver making this product a "true colloidal silver" product.
Q: How does the Colloidal Silver work?
A: Miniscule colloidal silver ions disable the enzymes that certain microorganisms may
rely on for respiration. This function helps to support a healthy micro organic
environment in the human body.
Q: Can the Colloidal Silver distinguish between the "good" and "bad" bacteria in
the intestine?
A: Taken orally, the Colloidal Silver is absorbed primarily in the upper portion of the
small intestine. The "good" bacteria (L. acidophilus, L. sporogenes, etc.) are located
primarily in the lower small intestine and large intestine (colon). Therefore, it has little or
no effect on these "good" probiotic cultures. Any portion of the Colloidal Silver not
absorbed would be inactive in the stool. Cultured foods like yogurt contain probiotics
that replenish and support the healthy bacteria in the intestine.
Q: What parasites does Colloidal Silver kill?
A: Colloidal Silver has had a long history of use as a natural antibiotic prior to the
introduction of antibiotic drugs. Colloidal Silver has been shown to kill over 650 different
pathogens (e.g., bacteria, fungi, protozoa and viruses). The presence of Colloidal Silver
near a single celled pathogen disables its oxygen metabolism enzyme and essentially
"suffocates" the pathogen. Another advantage of Colloidal Silver over antibiotic drugs is
that resistant strains cannot develop. Colloidal Silver can be used for all types of
infections, whatever the cause, and is completely safe for human or even animal
consumption at the 10 ppm recommended concentration.
Intestinal Tone
Canada - Psyllium Husk
Q: Can you please explain the quality of the psyllium used in Intestinal Tone?
A: The psyllium used in Intestinal Tone is the highest grade available. Specifically, it is
Pharmaceutical Grade or meeting the strict standards of the United States
Pharmacopoeia (USP). To achieve USP every lot of psyllium (80% seeds + 20% husks)
must achieve USP quality standards such as the purity (no foreign seeds, materials or
substances) and safety. Since seeds can be easily contaminated the USP grade
guarantees the product to be free of microbiological hazards (e.g., pathogen bacteria
such as E. coli, salmonella, listeria, etc.). Our product is 100% pure psyllium.
General Questions
Q: I have _____________disease/condition. What Life Force product would be
best for me to use?
A: Life Force products provide nutritional support. They are not treatments or cures for
any disease. That is the responsibility of the medical field. In a great number of
instances, we have found that when people who have an illness improve their nutrition,
their bodies have gotten the right armament to also improve themselves. I hope this
helps to clarify our position. Body Balance is NUTRITIONALLY BENEFICIAL.
Life Force International products are not intended to treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
We are in the business of providing nutritional support products, and therefore do not
provide answers to questions that relate to any medical condition. The information that
we provide is for educational purposes. If someone is experiencing any health
complications, it is their responsibility to seek the advice of a licensed healthcare
professional. We provide complete whole food based products and balanced nutritional
supplements. We have supportive information as well as references, which have been
gathered from various studies conducted on many of the individual ingredients in our
products.
The basis of our nutritional philosophy is in the following statement: "When the body
gets the nutrients it needs, it then has the opportunity to address its own health
challenges."
Q: I am using ___________ drug, can I use ____________Life Force product?
A: Product Data Sheets are available on the Life Force website, www.lifeforce.net. Print
these out and discuss the information with your physician or healthcare provider. Life
Force products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
Q: Which Life Force products are Vegan and which are not?
A: LFI products that are Vegan (no animal, dairy or egg products): Body Balance,
Intestinal Tone (Canada - Psyllium Husk), Activated Charcoal, Herbal Tabs, Taheebo,
Herbal Body Wrap, SunBright, Sunset, TrueGreens, and Colloidal Silver (Canada -
Silver 6x).
LFI products that are not Vegan: FlexeoPlus (Canada - Vitamin C and Zinc),
OsteoProCare, AminoCharge, and DreamAway.
Q: Do any of Life Force International products contain gluten?
A: All of the ingredients in Life Force International products are gluten-free.
Q: Do any of Life Force International products contain proanthocyanidins or any
other antioxidants?
A: The following are ingredients containing proanthocyanidins and the LFI products they
are contained in:
_ Green Tea - SunBright
_ Grape Seed Extract - TrueGreens
_ Bilberry Fruit Extract - TrueGreens
_ Blueberry - TrueGreens
_ Black Cherry - Body Balance
_ Noni Fruit - SunBright
Q: I am lactose intolerant and want to find out which Life Force International
products contain lactose. I noticed that AminoCharge and DreamAway contain
whey as an ingredient.
A: Lactose is a sugar found in dairy products. The whey in the AminoCharge and
DreamAway is highly purified as a protein isolate and does not contain lactose. None of
the Life Force International products contain lactose.
Q: Can you tell me about the quality of ingredients in your products?
A: Body Balance contains whole food wild harvested sea vegetation form the pristine waters
of Alaska in the “regeneration zone”, organic certified aloe vera form the base of volcanoes
in Mexico (one of the most mineral rich sources in the world), and organic bee honey and
black cherry juice. It is difficult to be more specific than this for the following reasons:
A good quality product is made of quality ingredients. Searching for the best quality
ingredients involves many vendors and an evaluation of each individual ingredient prior
to use in our products. This is also a long-term process of extensive sourcing and
testing. Our vendors, their detailed processing steps of ingredients we use are Life
Force International's confidential information. This confidential information is only
available to few individuals in our Company and to government agencies only, for
inspection purposes (during the inspections). We are also bound with confidentiality
agreements with our suppliers. Be assured that the ingredients we use (in Body Balance,
and the other LifeForce products) are the best we can possibly source.
Q: Are all ingredients used in your products "organic?"
A: All except for the sea vegetation (in Body Balance) which is WILD HARVESTED and it is
impossible to declare something organic if it WILD HARVESTED, it has to be farm raised.
However, our sea vegetation quality is superior and considered a raw whole food, and it
undergoes the same type of scrutiny and testing that all three of the other organic
ingredients (aloe vera, bee honey, and black cherry juice) in Body Balance go through.
Therefore, the raw materials used in our products must be:
_ Microbiologically safe and free of pathogen bacteria.
_ Free from extraneous material, preservatives, and dangerous chemicals.
_ Have no presence of hazardous heavy metals, herbicides or pesticides.
Special quality requirements have to be met before our new suppliers are approved. For
certain ingredients, this can be a long process before final approval for use in our
products. All our product formulas contain high quality, specially selected ingredients.
Our scientific, technical and production teams ensure the freshest possible delivery of
natural nutrients in their most natural state with cold processing, proprietary packaging,
and exceptional quality control.
Q: Should I stop taking vitamins/minerals if I start using your supplement?
A: Absolutely! However you do need to consume a minimum of the daily recommended
dosage of 4 ounces of Body Balance. Body Balance contains over 121 naturally occurring
elements: 74 Minerals, 21 Vitamins, 21 Amino Acids, 11 Live Enzymes, 8 GlycoNutrients,
3 Essential Fatty Acids, and several other phytonutients. It is perfectly balanced and in
symmetry (found in mother nature) and is in the exact form that your body should be
getting ALL of it’s nutrition from (a whole food form), not synthetically designed from
isolated synthetic components in a laboratory. It is also in a liquid whole food form,
meaning your cells recognize it and absorb it at 98%+ into your body for immediate
absorption and assimilation (compared to the pill form of vitamins which abrorb only 10-20%
(Physicians Desk Reference 1996, page 1542. For all of these reasons Body Balance
serves as a SUPERIOR alternative to taking the pill form of vitamins and minerals, and can
deliver remarkable results that you can FEEL and measure.
Q: I have a severe allergy to all shellfish and their oils. Can you please tell me
which of the LFI products contain shellfish elements?
A: The glucosamine is sourced from the shells of crustaceans (e.g., shrimp and crabs),
specifically, the chitin component of the shellfish. It is approximately 90% shrimp and
10% crab shells. The following LFI products contain glucosamine:
_ OsteoProCare
_ FlexeoPlus
_ DreamAway
Since you state you have a "severe" allergy to shellfish, it is best to discuss the potential
use of these products with your doctor, however we have never had a report in 20 years of
anyone with a “shellfish allergy” having a reaction to our product!
