Guest guest Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 Hi everyone My first post here, let me try to keep this short. For years I have seen the various products that are based on botanical extracts. They're usually in liquid form, and they are usually sold by individuals (some old friend who contacts me out of the blue to tell me how great this product is). I finally got a call from someone who I know is something of a skeptic like me. She has told me that she is taking a product which is made up of Aloe Juice and the extracts of 9 seaweed types. I am going to list them here for those who know of these things. Fucus vesiculosus, Chondrus crispus, Ascophyllum nodosum, Laminaria digitata, Porphyra yezoensis, Palmaria palmate, Ulva lactuca, Alaria esculenta, Gigartina chamisso I am old enough now to realize that I may not know everything, and that there is no harm in trying new things. My health is generally very good. My question is this - the product she is taking is extremely expensive. There's still a bit of the skeptic in me. Is this formulation always very expensive? Is this blend of seaweed extract/Aloe Juice available from another source for less money? Does quality of extraction process matter (as I know it does when we're talking protein supplements and even fresh juices, what with the heat damage issues)? As an aside, any comments about your experiences with this particular formulation would be great. Hope that isn't too long, any comments are appreciated.

Does it have a name? Do you know the name of the company that makes it? Do they make any other nutraceuticals? Is there a website available with more information about the product? It actually sounds as if it could be really beneficial, as seaweeds are some of the most nourishing foods on the planet. They're loaded with trace minerals and full of polysaccharides. But it would be helpful to have more info about it to get a better feel for who's making it and how it's made. Elan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Hi Elan So sorry for the delay in responding and thanks for your reply. I was hesitant to name the product as I didn't want people to think I was spamming the forum. I have absolutely zero interest in this - I have just heard of it in the past few weeks. Here is the website http://www.lifeforce.net and here is the product http://www.lifeforce.net/body-balance.php I surely hope it's okay to post these links. If you want to take a look at the composition and give me your opinion, I would really appreciate it.
