Default Balance of Nature Product?

Lots of advertisements re this product…fruits and vegetables. Has anyone here in TV tried it and does it work? Or just another snake oil product? Thank you.

Impossible for anyone to say. It's one of those products that you cannot determine if it works or not. My guess is that it doesn't work.

Does it work for what?

It's $90 for a 1-month supply (you take 3 daily, and there's 90 per bottle). According to their FAQ, they do not provide a nutritional breakdown. So they won't even make a claim as to which nutrients you're getting, in what amounts. It could be 0 vitamin D. Or it could be 20,000 IU, which you're instructed to take 3 times daily and can actually make you very sick.

It's not just a snake-oil, it's a scam and potentially dangerous, even if you can afford to waste $90/month.

If you want the nutritional value of fruits and veggies, then eat fruits and veggies. It's cheaper, and tastes better.

Don't you need to take 6 capsules per day, 3 fruits and 3 vegetables?

I guess the correct response is “ ask your doctor “ . I personally think it is a great marketing campaign and they are making tons of money off suckers. Kinda like Prevagen. As Colonel Potter said “ HORSE PUCKEY”

Their reviews are HORRENDOUS (not so much for the product but for their business practices). Still trying to figure how they stuff all those fruits and veggies into those tiny capsules! There was actually an "Info(less)mercial" on some channel at 3AM showing how they do it. If you believe that I have about a 5 years supply of Doctor Oz's Coffee Bean Extract tablets around. Actually they were tossed out years ago. I REALLY got sucked into that scam a number of years ago. Don't ask.

I always prefer eating healthily versus taking pills. Much more of a 'sure thing'.

, My nutrition prof in nursing school had us learn how to eat and prepare healthy foods. She said if you are eating right you don’t need to take these

I bought it for one month for the $35 discount.. I guess it's sort of a placebo but it really didn't seem to help much. Then I went on to puritan pride site for vitamins and got the same ingredients bottles for $15

Default Just another con

Sorry, I can't help myself. This is just another grift by the Fox network. Designed to appeal to cultists and survivalist types.

You can Google a review of Balance of Nature. They offer test results as proof of the product's efficacy. The reviewer noted that the test results were on plain paper without a laboratory letterhead and looked like they were done on Word. If my memory is right, the "test results" were unsigned. Buyer beware!

It is also just as advertised/promoted to the cult on PMSNBC! Same discount - different code!
