FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (for more FAQs, click here)

What does Body Balance taste like?
It has a pleasant taste of black cherry and honey with a savory hint. If you put it in a dark colored juice, you'll never know it's there. Taste may vary slightly seasonally.

Does Body Balance have to be refrigerated?
Refrigeration is recommended. Many prefer the taste of it cold, but if you leave it out on the counter overnight, do not worry. Body Balance's nutrients do not begin to degrade until much higher temperatures (than a house's climate) are reached. Keep out of sunlight.

Can I take Body Balance with medication(s)?
In 25 years, Life Force International has not received any reports of Body Balance interfering with other drugs. However, Life Force always recommends talking to your healthcare provider before trying any dietary supplement.

Is there a certain time of day I should take Body Balance?
Whatever works best for you. Some prefer to start their day with it at breakfast, others save it for their afternoon slump. You may find a different time altogether that fits your schedule.

When does Body Balance expire?
When opened and refrigerated, Body Balance can last up to 60 days. Unopened, it has a shelf life of one year.

I am on medication for blood thinners. Can I take Body Balance even though it contains Vitamin K?
The rule of thumb with Body Balance is that if you can eat vegetables, you can take this liquid. However, it is important that you discuss any dietary changes with your healthcare provider to see if you have any reasons not to take this product.

How is Body Balance made?
Body Balance is a proprietary formula developed by Wayne Hillman in the early 1980's. He is truly a pioneer in the industry. The Aloe vera used in Body Balance is grown especially for Life Force International, and is of the highest quality. It is grown and processed to USDA National Organic Program standards and certified by Quality Assurance International (QAI). It is certified by the International Aloe Science Council for purity and is Kosher certified by KSA. The aloe juice is taken from the inner leaf of the fillet only, and done so within hours of harvest to retain freshness and the integrity of the nutrients. The SeaNine™ is our exclusive proprietary blend of nine varieties of sea vegetables, including the full spectrum of red, brown, and green sea vegetables. Body Balance is packaged here in our facility, where it is cold-filled to further protect the product's integrity.

Is the Aloe in Body Balance organic and where do you harvest it from?
Life Force International Aloe is grown and processed according to certified organic standards. It is fresh and of the highest quality. Their supplier is the largest Aloe supplier in the world. They grow, harvest and process their own Aloe. The time from field to processing is one day. Each leaf is harvested by hand and must be nicked and pulled carefully from the mother plant so as not to break the rind. Properly taken, the leaves will naturally seal themselves within a short period and the inside gel will not be exposed to oxidation or contamination. The processing plants are close to the fields. This is important because with a short ride to the processing plants the leaves will be fresher and will suffer far less bruises and other damage that can occur in transporting. Some companies spend several days getting their leaves to the processing plant while our leaves are processed within a day. When the Aloe is harvested, it is carefully preserved, saving the natural characteristics of the Aloe. Special equipment is used to ensure that the Aloe retains as much of its natural polysaccharide profile as possible. It is then shipped to our manufacturing plant, where we keep no more than two to four weeks inventory of finished Body Balance. Life Force is committed to supplying the highest quality products to our members and customers and our products are supported by a money-back guarantee.

What is the carbohydrate count in Body Balance?
The total carbohydrate per serving (1 fl oz) is 2 g, or 4 g per 2 oz serving. Total carbohydrate on the label refers to both COMPLEX and SIMPLE. The 1 g SIMPLE sugar comes from the honey and black cherry. The other 1 g of COMPLEX comes from the Aloe vera and sea vegetation. Together they form the total amount.

What are electrolytes and does Body Balance contain them?
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.

What are the Latin names and the common names for the sea vegetables in SeaNine™?
The Latin and common names in the SeaNine™ proprietary blend are as follows: Palmaria palmate -- Dulse; Fucus vesiculosus -- Bladderwrack; Chondrus crispus -- Irish moss; Ascophyllum nodosum -- Norwegian kelp; Laminaria digitata -- Kombu; Porpyra yezoensis -- Nori; Ulva lactuca -- Sea lettuce; Alaria esculenta -- Winged kelp; Gigartina chamissoi -- Gigartina

Is Body Balance kosher?
Yes. Body Balance is certified kosher through Kosher Supervision of America (KSA).

Is the honey in Body Balance pasteurized, and is it safe to give to children under one year of age?
The honey in Body Balance is organic, raw, and not pasteurized. It is never recommended that babies under 18 months of age eat honey. The reason for this is that babies' digestive systems are underdeveloped to handle certain factors that are naturally present in honey. By the time an infant reaches 18 months old their digestive systems have matured enough where honey is safe.

Does Body Balance contain iodine?
Iodine is a rare and often overlooked mineral, yet it is one that may be important in helping maintain overall and health wellbeing. Body Balance contains 0.5 mg iodine per 30 ml serving or 500 mcg (micrograms) per 30 ml serving. The amount of iodine varies slightly per batch. While we cannot offer specific medical advice, some studies have shown that Iodine may help the formation of thyroid hormones in the thyroid gland. Additionally, iodine-rich foods and supplements like Body Balance may potentially benefit individuals who desire to lose weight. For specific information, consult your healthcare professional to learn if iodine-rich foods or supplements will help you achieve your wellness goals.

I see some ingredients in the table above that I thought were bad for me. What's the story?
Did you know that if you buy fresh, frozen, or canned produce in the grocery store or at a farm stand that there will be some trace amounts of some of the ingredients that you hear are bad for you? That's because these are just naturally occuring trace and ultratrace elements in nature. However, we would never tell you to stop eating fruits and vegetables! Many people don't realize that there are organic forms of these elements that simply get excreted by the body...but they are only found in whole foods. Body Balance is an organic liquid whole food supplement that can additionally detoxify cells because of the powerful phytonutrients that sea vegetation and aloe vera provide.

How much sugar, in general, is put into each quart of Body Balance in the form of honey/cherry to help with the taste?
The amount of all combined sweeteners in Body Balance is 3.0 g of honey, stevia, and cherry flavors. No sugar is added.

I see there is postassium sorbate and potassium benzoate in Body Balance. How much is there and why?
First, let's clarify that Body Balance does NOT contain sodium benzoate. Even though sodium benzoate is on the FDA's Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) list, there have been questions in the greater nutrition community concerning its presence in foods. The purpose of the potassium benzoate (also a salt from the benzoic acid, but not a sodium salt) and the potassium sorbate is to be a preservative. Since Body Balance is cold-processed and not pasteurized (which will damage certain nutrients in foods 100% of the time), there has to be something in it to prevent mold, bacteria, or yeast growth. All along, the question about using the K-benzoate is whether or not benzene formation will occur when it is combined with vitamin C. (Even though benzene is a naturally occurring chemical all around us, we don't think anyone wants to have more of it than necessary.) The part of the equation that is forgotten is that the chemical reaction that causes benzene to form is caused by UV light or heat. The heat isn't an issue, because Body Balance is cold-processed. The UV issue also isn't a problem--the Body Balance is mixed in certified Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) facility with no exposure to sunlight possible. Additionally, it is packed in an opaque bottle. The FDA GRAS list states that potassium benzoate (which hasn't received the same indictment as the sodium benzoate and has been used for over 50 years as a food preservative) can be used in amounts up to 1% of any food source it is in. Life Force uses less than 0.2% of potassium benzoate and potassium sorbate combined in each bottle of Body Balance. Over 25 years, 6000 healthcare professionals have seen the absolute excellence of this product and have endorsed it and used it with their patients.
