Question: from Carol

I am taking female rejuvenator, total balance unisex and omega3/DHA fish oil and I like it. Now I want my daughters to take it also, but not the female rejuvenator. When I read the age range of the total balance I can seem to figure out which one I should use for them, one is 20 years old and the other is 15yrs old. Can you tell me which should I buy for them?

Also my husband is having lower back pains for no reason. He went to the doctor and they said it was muscle contraction or something like that. He was for almost a whole month with this pain. The doctor gave him muscle relaxers and some bandages to put in his back, after a month he was feeling better but this pains are back again. Do you think the Omega 3/ fish oil will be good for him?

Question: from Grace

Right now I'm suffering from skin allergy. I'm not pretty sure, though since I haven't seen a Doctor yet. But if it is an allergy then this is my first time. I haven't had allergy before. My skin is very itchy then turns into rashes. Also, even if I exfoliate everyday (literally) after I dried myself I still see dead skin. I stopped using lotion for almost 2 weeks now, instead I'm using virgin coconut oil but my skin is very dry still. I wanted to know if the Xtend Life lotion can help me with my skin problem. I'm 45.

Answer: from Warren

I really think that it is worth trying our lotion and stop doing the exfoliation for a while. Also, it is important to be aware that this problem is likely to be caused by something going on inside you. It may be an allergy as you suggest but if it is a reasonably recent occurrence, it is in my opinion more likely to be a nutrient deficiency of some sort.

My suggestion would be to add our new Omega 3 / DHA Fish Oil to your daily regime at double the normal rate - 4 per day. Also add at least the Total Balance Unisex Standard or, if you can manage the extra cost, use the Premium version. The combination of these two supplements can do wonders for your skin.

If this and the skin care products don't help then you would need to go see a dermatologist, but I would be surprised if this doesn't help.

Good luck

Question: from Gene

Do you test each batch of Total Balance Premium to confirm that each tablet contains what it says on the label? For example, 100mg chysin. A certificate of analysis, would either confirm or deny that there is 100mg of chysin in 7 tablets.

Answer: from Warren

This is a valid question.

Most companies only do a microbiological test for each batch. We also do that but additionally we do one for heavy metals as well. I do not know of any company who does a full assay on a completed multi-ingredient tablet for each batch. It is just not economically viable unless it is a very simple product. To give you an idea; we have around 85 ingredients in our Total Balance and to do an assay of the batch would cost US$35 000 each time, IF a protocol can be worked out to successfully do this.

This is the price we have had quoted by various laboratories including the NSF who we are working with on our US FDA GMP compliance program.The scientists at NSF have not as yet been able to come up with a protocol to achieve a reliable assay.

The problem is that you have to liquefy some of the ingredients to do the assay.

Question: from Meliss

Warren what do you think about this..It was sent to me?

“Dear Meliss:

Probiotics are bacteria and enzymes are acids. To be healthy
you need less bacteria and less acid with more alkaline electron
rich foods and drinks.

High blood pressure is caused by increased acidity and a deficiency of
sodium, magnesium and potassium.

pHour salts and pHlavor salts will help.”

Answer: from Warren

I don't know who sent you this but unfortunately it is typical of the uninformed comments and half truths that circulate the health supplement business.

Question: from James

For some years I have researched the Internet on health issues and as a result have elected to purchase your products relevant to myself.  However firstly we in the UK do not have the luxury of chopping and changing Doctors ad lib, My own GP in fact insists that I use statins for cholesterol control . and was unaware of the Co- enzyme depletion as a result.

He also precribes Losartan Plus for B.P control ..

However I do take Cardio Klenz and Total Balance Mens Premium together with Dr Sears Accel(coenzyme Q10) and for a man of 72 feel pretty fit.

However my only concern re your products is that whilst they are well researched .is. are the quantity of the ingredients sufficient . \i.e. resveratrol in Cardio Klenz is only 50mg whereas other suppliers offer products containing 300 mg or more ??? this applies to a number of ingredients in TB and CK . I have every confidence in Xtend Life and your ethical approach to general wellbeing and I feel sure that with your approach you would provide products which are have adequate amounts of the various ingredients to provide effective treatment and I would welcome clarification.

Question: from Al

What is your advice regarding Nattokinase

Answer: from Warren

Nattokinase is a good enzyme and can be very beneficial in helping clean your arteries…provided it is the right sort. There are a number of different forms on the market most of which are not approved by the FDA in the US.

When we researched this ingredient some time ago the only quality form that we could find that was approved by the FDA was called Nattozimes and is produced by the National Enzyme Company in the USA.

We now use this in both our Total Balance Premium and Cardio-Klenz.

Why are some forms of Nattokinase not approved by the FDA?

The simple answer is how they are produced.

Question: from Mui

Is your eye gel good for sagging under the eyes? How long does it take to notice the change? Thanks.

Answer: from Warren

Yes, indeed this is one of the conditions that the eye gel has been designed for.  How long does it take to notice a change?

That's a difficult one and I don't want to seem evasive but I can't honestly answer it. But, it does take time. You may notice a difference within the first few weeks but it may take longer.

Interestingly, today I remarked to one of our Thai staff how she is looking so much younger.  6 months ago she had hints of bags under her eyes but today there is no sign of them. Whether it is all due to the eye gel I honestly could not say.

Sometimes sagging and baggy skin is due to a breakdown of collagen and elastin which these products will help...but, you should also be aware that in order to maximize results that you have to deal with it internally as well.

Question: from Addie

Hi Warren, what is your opinion on Coq10? What's the best one to buy?

Answer: from Warren

CoQ10 is an essential nutrient and very important for heart health.

It is manufactured by the liver and only a very small amount comes from dietary sources. However, a good diet can help provide the raw ingredients to enable your liver to produce an ample supply.

But, if you are on a statin drug then you must supplement with CoQ10 because the pathway that a statin drug blocks in order to prevent your liver from making so much cholesterol is the same as that used to produce CoQ10.

So, if you use a statin drug your body will produce less than it is using each day and a deficiency will be the result as your body’s reserves of CoQ10 are used up. And that is more serious than elevated cholesterol itself.
