Review of Xtend-Life Total
Balance Men’s Premium
An All-Natural,
Pharmaceutical-Grade Quality Multi-Vitamin Designed Specifically
for Men That Addresses Aging, Prostate Health, Energy Levels, and
Libido
Welcome to this
review of Xtend-Life Total Balance Men’s Premium
webpage. So, does this product work? It’s garnered a strong
following and the testimonials are quite laudatory.
In this short review page, I want to go over the health benefits
this multi-vitamin product is purported to give. In the interest of
full disclosure, I myself am a customer of this very product. (I’ve
been using Total Balance since May 2004.)
So, I feel I can give you some good information that perhaps
will be helpful to you.
This "premium" version is designed bio-chemically just for men.
As a male, that’s important to me.
I’m also over 40 so some specific health benefits are important
to me like prostate health, a general feeling of well being,
libido, antioxidant capability that help slow down aging, etc.
Most multi-vitamins have vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and
co-factor trace elements in them. That’s not the case with the
Total Balance Men’s Premium version. It has vitamins, minerals,
anti-oxidants, trace elements, enzymes, amino acids, anti-glycation
agents, neuro-nutrients, flavonoids, carotenoids, methylation
agents, adaptogens, calorie restriction mimetics, nutritional
co-factors and herbal extracts.
It has 99 active ingredients that comprise the best of western
medicine and alternative herbal medicine. So, what does this all
mean for you? It means you are getting vital nutrition at the
cellular level.
The anti-oxidants, anti-glycation agents, adaptogens,
methylation agents and inflammation nutrients specifically all
areas of aging.
This is why Xtend-Life says the health benefits purported in
their testimonials are so diverse and wide ranging in addition to
enhanced prostate health, improved libido and sexual performance,
improved sleep and rest, improved brain functionality, eye health
(it actually has five ingredients specifically for eye health),
etc.
How Is It Made?
Whether you are a "fan" of Xtend-Life Total Balance or not, the
manufacturing process the Total Balance product undergoes is quite
out of the ordinary by conventional standards.
First, the raw ingredients the tablets are made out of certified
pharmaceutical-grade quality ingredients as certified by an
independent third-party laboratory. Once that’s done, a
Certificate of Analysis (COA) is made confirming the ingredient
batch’s purity.
The batch number is even imprinted on the label itself.
(Xtend-Life says each batch is filed and can be retrieved at any
time.)
The ingredients are then made with what Xtend-Life says are
superior manufacturing processes that equal pharmaceutical-drug
quality. One of the things they do is utilize a pharmaceutical
blending process that blends the ingredients evenly versus using
the more traditional paddle/ribbon blender-type mixers that
run-of-the-mill vitamin manufacturers make use of.
This manufacturing itself is done in Xtend-Life’s own certified
cGMP-compliant facilities. This is the highest standard possible
meeting FDA and British Pharmacopoeia drug standards.
Once the tablets are made, the encapsulation process is
initiated. Xtend-Life encapsulates their Total Balance
multi-vitamin in enteric coating as well. There are two things that
are noteworthy here. This preserves the nutrients.
The coating is an inert substance that causes no biological harm
and is passed through normal toilet processes.
It is also a state-of-the-art delivery system that is very
expensive. It's why only pharmaceutical drugs usually have it.
The enteric coating preserves the sensitive nutrients like SAMe
and Glutathione from being destroyed by stomach acids. Moreover,
the coating preserves the nutrients until they pass into the
duodenum or upper intestine where they are then released into the
bloodstream.
This is a departure from "normal" vitamin companies. How this
benefits you the consumer is that the pharmaceutical-grade
nutrients are passed into your blood and go to work improving your
health in the ways mentioned.
This enteric coating is so important to the overall success of
the product as to what it does for the male body that Xtend-Life
says 80% of the nutrients in the tablet will be assimilated.

Consumer Reviews &
Testimonials
Total Balance is a very well accepted product and sells well.
Xtend-Life says they’ve only published a small portion of the
testimonials they’ve received on the product. Here are a few below
taken from their website.
I have been taking Total Balance Men's 3 x a day,
Neuro-Natural General 3 x a day and Omega 3/DHA Fish Oil 2 x a day
for the past week and a half....
...I've had ADD and allergies for as long as I can remember,
especially after the age of 8/9. I'm 20 now. In the short time I've
been taking your products my ADD and allergy symptoms have
diminished quickly.....
I know your products are working because I've been taking
prescription medications to treat my symptoms for over a
decade.....As soon as I took your products I quit taking my
prescriptions cold turkey.
In less than a day I noticed that my ADD was virtually gone,
I sleep better, I have more energy and my allergies are reduced as
well. The disappearance of my allergies is a huge difference
because spring is here and allergies have hit my region and I'm
virtually unaffected.

I am now 57. Your supplements have made possible the
following measurable differences.... A Pulmonary Function Test at
the hospital in February 2003 (before using Xtend-Life products)
showed a 45% increase in lung capacity after using Ventolin. A 10%
increase indicates asthma. I was prescribed a puffer to be used for
the rest of my life and told that I would never get my lung
capacity back.
I began using Xtend-Life Total Balance Men's Premium, and
Omega 3/DHA in December 2003. In February 2005 after using your
products for 14 months, a follow up Pulmonary Function Test showed
only a 15% increase in lung capacity after using Ventolin. My
Doctor was surprised with such a reversal of an irreversible
condition....

Just to tell you I placed a new order today for the Total
Balance. I have now used it for 3 weeks, and I can tell you that it
really gives a lot of energy. I use it before I go to the gym,
and I really feel the difference, I replaced the Double X from
Amway, and TB is definitely better. Besides, the craving for sweet
is totally gone, my body feels satisfied. So thank you very much
for your product.

You can read more reviews here.
My personal take? As I wrote earlier in this review, I’ve been
taking Xtend-Life supplements since May 2004 including the Total
Balance line. I’ve been very pleased with it, which is one of the
reasons why I wrote this review.
Does It Include a Guarantee?
Yes, it does. Xtend-Life offers a six-month guarantee on all
their products including Total Balance Men's Premium. If you
are not entirely satisfied with it, you can get either a refund or
get a product replacement.
How Much Should You Expect to
Pay?
One bottle sells for $47.75. In each bottle comes 105
enteric-coated tablets. You can buy it here.
Is Shipping Free?
Yes and no. If the order totals $60 USD or more, shipping is
free. If the order doesn’t meet the $60 threshold, they charge a
flat $6.50 shipping fee for shipment to anywhere in the world.
What Are The Customer
Complaints?
No honest review of Xtend-Life Total Balance Men’s
Premium would be complete without discussing its negatives. The
biggest complaint about Total Balance in general is its price.
One compelling point Xtend-Life makes is that they could charge
more as if you bought all the nutrients separately, they would far
exceed the price point of Total Balance.
They also assert that the products are made from
pharmaceutical-grade quality ingredients, manufactured in
cGMP-compliant facilities, and meet standards with various
product-creation procedures that even exceed the British
Pharmacopoeia standards.
As mentioned, Xtend-Life also says that their product has a
guaranteed assimilation rate of synergistically-balanced nutrients
at the 80% level, far exceeding over-the-counter, grocery-store
vitamins and even other competitors.
A very lofty claim but they claim they have in-house clinical
tests that can verify that.
One telling point is that Xtend-Life has a lot of customers in
their loyalty program, which gives a discount to loyal customers
who buy product consistently. Logic says they wouldn’t do that
unless they were overall very happy with the results they’re
getting.
Where Can I Get More
Information?
You can get more product information here. Xtend-Life
provides a lot of information regarding the product including
clinical studies, product ingredient links, health benefits
you can expect if taken correctly, etc. Look around a bit and
you'll see a lot of info there.
Where Can I Buy It?
Xtend-Life only sells their products direct to the consumer via
their website. You can’t find it in grocery or health-food stores.
You can buy it here.
I hope this review of Xtend-Life Total Balance Men’s
Premium website page has been helpful to you.
Yours in health,
