Power Balance Silicone Wristbands for Increased Energy, Flexibility and Balance

Does anyone know where I can buy these power balance bracelets with delivery to either Spain or UK thats not 60$ for postage on a 30$ bracelet..

Hi Mandy - a friend of mine has just got the uk distribution rights to this product they've only just come into the UK. I've been using mine for a week or so and its amazing!
Drop me a line and i'll be able to sort one out for you andrew@callaghanstudios.co.uk

i got mine at a showcase store

You can check out powerbalance.net and click on the contact button at the bottom of the page. Once at the "contact us" page, scroll down to find the contacts for both Spain and the UK.

Or call the office at 949-485-5426

Hello Mandy - have you had any success in getting the powerbalance bracelets sent to Spain or England? Regards, Sue

How would you know if you are getting the real deal? I have seen these bracelets in stores for 7 dollars and I paid 25 dollars for mine.

Has anyone actually tried this powerband and if so does it work.
I'm not sure I beleive in such things but would be willing to try if I thought it
would do me any good. I would appreciate any input from those who have
tried this band.

I was demoed the band by a doorman at the Marriot Hotel Sydney and was amazed. I have since bought 4 of the devices for myself and friends at $60 aus. It's one of those things that need to be tryed to be believed. As far as I'm concerned it realy works, and does what the manufacturers claim. I will never take this little piece of magic off. I'm just a regular guy who has nothing to gain by supporting this product. I can't see how anyone could be disapointed in this device, I think the skeptics are probably those who have not tryed it and I guess there will be plenty of those. good luck and please try it out. It's Awesome.

Hi Meg - I'm wearing one right now and I think it really works! I can feel it!!

First let me say that I am a scientist first and a new-age energy * last. My wife is the exact opposite and will believe anything she hears. For example she believes a story that some guy told her where "A study from all these top schools like MIT and Berkeley..... concluded that humans are really descendants from different planets but as soon as they found out the government shut down their internet and blacked them out so no one would find out. Yeah... anyway I am a logical thinker, tinkerer, cannon builder, take aparter and put back together in a way that suits me--er.

Anyway, my wife brought me home one of these bands to try for my neck and back pains (i'm a butcher, lots of leaning and cutting and yaddah yaddah) anyway the first night I felt good and thought it cured me but I remembered I took some Advil about 10 minutes before I put the band on. I wore it for the next two days and am currently wearing it and my neck is still shooting nerve and muscle pain through all my pathways. All in all I feel that if someone like my wife (who is prone to believe what she hears without question) comes into contact with one of these their brain will believe it's working and we all know (or don't know) what the full capabilities of the brain are. I on the other hand question everything with logic and feel that this band is, quite plainly, illogical. Holograms and magnets didn't cure my nerve or muscle pain and i wouldn't waste your money. Unless this band will trigger your brain to cure your body in ways it normally wouldn't. I feel that the next step in our evolution is energy and harnessing brain waves et.... but this band doesn't do that.

how u a butcher nd a scientist?? i say try it...it works for me dnt knw if i love it yet...but i dnt regret my buy

yes it does very good

never hurst to try. you can always look on ebay and buy official power bracelets for over half off.

My mother started wearing one of these bands and telling me how great it worked for her. My mom is not a guilable person, so I had no doubt that it was doing something for her. She bought me one, b/c she knew I wasn't going to waste my money. I didn't think it would work for me. The day she bought it we were shopping, I am not a shopper. I hate to shop. I have bone spurrs in my heals. I had a headache and was in a very foul mood that day. Within an hour of putting the bracelet on, my disposition had changed completely. I was in a great mood, my feet were no longer hurting, my headache was gone. We shopped for another 7 hours. I have worn it ever since and it has been 5 months. I am a believer.

I have it. It doesn't do much at all. It just is in your head 0__=

it actually does work i just bought one and i have so much more energy than i had before i highly recommend the power braclet

I have one and no it doesn't work on me I bought it because it's supposed to help with sleep and give you more energy and help with pain I have been wearing it a while and will continue to wear it but so far I don't feel any different maybe its not an overnight thing someone told me it takes a while but someone else hads told me it's instant so we shall see.

I can't believe I'm providing input to one of these sites. I have had a bracelet on since last June (never taken off). When it was given to me as a gift, I was having a difficult time sleeping and I have a bad leg so I limp quite badly. I don't know if this is a placebo or not but I am sleeping better and have been told that I limp less. Take it or leave it. I have worn this one out and am in the process of purchasing a new one.

Hi i whant to know where i can buy a power braclet

thanks!!!

you can order online and use the code power09 to get 20% off! I love this product!

Good luck with the surgury that will fail as well as the power band, if you don't accept responsibility for your health than who will? Try to find a good chiropractor who will listen and treat you with respect.

Since I started wearing mine I've just been grumpy and lazy . I quit goin to the gym cause I have no energy

DON'T BUY A POWER BALANCE BRACELET- I bought one and it does absolutely nothing!!!!!
It is a waste of money and a gimmick!!!!
The so called strength and resistance test is all about mind over matter.
I wasted my money and don't want anyone else too!!!!!!

hey don't put these people down for buying the braclet i mean there has to be at least a small group that i doesnt work for

hey pay the price and get the real deal, or be stupid and get conned .

dats da way!!!!!

if it works for some people, does it matter whether or not it is all in the mind?

This product works on a different levels with your thoughts, and body. I bought 2, one for my wife and myself at the day before the Long Beach Half Marathon in 2009.

I went through 2 on-site arm strength tests myself and was sold. I also performed 4 other arm strength tests on myself and 3 others of different body types with the same wrist band I purchased. Two of my friends were non-believers with different body types and the wrist band still worked for them!

My experiment, I ran the LB half marathon in 2009 with the wrist band and I felt fantastic and much stronger during and after the event.

Seven days after I did the Playa del Rey sprint triathlon and did terrific!

I had a friend borrow the same wrist band to wear during the NYC marathon in 2009, he was not sure what to compare his results against but he ran well and was very happy with his results!

I then had another friend wear the same wrist band on the Arizona full IRONMAN in 2009. He said that the wrist band worked well for him and this was his first full IRONMAN!

Yes the product works some of it might be placebo effect but if that is part of the effect and it works on that level you have to go with it.

On word of advice, if you get the silicone wrist band, do not wear the chips touching your skin. My wife wore her wrist band touching her skin and eventually the rubber came loose and the chips came out. Power balance replaced her wrist band free of charge.

I hope this helps.

its not mind over matter it realy works. if it didnt work for you your just off balence all to gether

Mine doesn't really work that well.
Any tips?

Can anyone tell me if my wife you is pregnant can where the band or does it affect the baby

It doesn't matter if she wears the bracelet or not while pregnant. The fact she bought a power bracelet in the first place tells me she is retarded, and from what I have heard, retardedness is genetic.

you obviously haven'y tried it!!!!

Wow Charlie brown there's a special place in hell for you. Bt these braclets really do work I sk8board and holy * my balance is 8x better than when it's off I landed on average 5 out of 10 tricks bt with the band it's 9 out of 10. This product is truly amazing. It makes you feel emotionaly happy too.

did u ever find out it was safe for pregnant women? i'm preggo and would like to purchase a band, but not if it will affect the baby

Just a physical explanation: Agreed that objects resonate at a certain frequency, lets believe your claim of the band changing its own frequency to match our body's frequency. What i fail to understand is, that your body is affecting the band, and the band feeds off your body's source of energy, so how does the band in any shape or form be helping you?
Its like opera singer can break the glass by matching the resonant frequency of the glass but the glass wouldnt help the singer sooth her throat after that loud blabber. It simply does not make any physical sense as how the band will help you, unless there is magic in it.

I Go with Forrest .Total Sense.I have tried these bands on at a store n performed better at balance without the band.The Guy trying to sell it to me had nothing to say.Now researching online its obvious its screaming FAKE.In Australia the company has been fined n asked to do refund the people.Dont u guys read or research anything before u jump to such * conclusions???

To those who say that this doesn't work: realize that this is just a frequency generator. The hologram has been imprinted with a frequency which is made to harmonize with your body's natural frequency. If you don't understand that the human body produces a sound, electricity, energy, and a *frequency* which can be measured in Hz, then I will have a hard time helping you.

How does something that is physically, chemically and biologically static generate a frequency that somehow communicates and resonates with frequencies produced by the body?

If this device is producing a frequency then it must be defying the immutable laws of physics and creating energy from nothing. I dont think so!

So before you jump on here and try and claim it is producing a 'frequency', or it is a 'generator' then please read some sort of physics literature.

Everything resonates a frequency, every seen the ole opera singer break the wine glass? Thats because the frequencies match and start oscillating much more causing destruction.

Yes, but every freqwuency is different, how could a hologram change your body's frequency to match the bands

the band doesnt change your bodies' frequency, the band changes its own frequency to match your bodies' frequency....duh

its called an ion. its a charged particle. kinetics is the movement or force when induced by a stimulus it means activation. the body has its own frequency called a hertz. the hallograms are the spark plug that activates renewed power balance and strenght. your remote controll has frequencies cell phone,microwaves etc that are all negative to the body. the government wants you to keep sucking down those pills and be there lab rats for there new prescriptions. they want you to stay negative and out of your mind so you will spend billions to there government. the power of belief mind body soul are the biggest healing powers today. this product does work its a spark plug for your belief system my friends just believe.

To go back to dr's comments, if the band does not have an energy source, it cannot move. It cannot create any frequencies if it does not move. The opera singer would not be able to break the glass if she was an inanimate object.

So I bought it, wore it straight for a week, still didn't feel a darn thing! Worst $30 bucks I spent. looking to return it. But I suppose it is good for those individuals who "need" to believe it works and if it does for them...well, then great. But I also hame string at home that I will sell you for $29.95 that does the same * thing.

Moral...take some advil, drink some water, and get some sleep. It's amazing!!!

huh ok... i just found a black hologram bracelet in front of the MacDonalds place. I guess somebody dropped it there by accident. it's in perfect condition. nonetheless, my first thought was when i picked it up was that the 2 holograms go on either side of the wrist and this thing must be some sort of "energy" point thingie. so i put it on and walked home (these things don't have RFID chips inside of them i hoped haha). I can't really say i feel all that much different. For one i have not located any explanations online as to HOW THEY IMPRINT THE HOLOGRAM technically or vibrationally speaking. As far as i can tell, the hologram dots are no different than the holo-patches and lables i see on the 59fifty baseball caps all the kids seem to be wearing these days (crazy fads). Mind you, apparently we are experiencing a 3D hologram reality (so i have heard), and i was suprised to see that the "powerbalance" company also makes a pendant with the "flower of life" pattern on it, which if people have studied that pattern is incredibly ancient and is also a hologram (it contains all of the VORTEX ROTATIONS in and out of various dimensional levels of realities, all the platonic solids, all blueprints for DNA/RNA and genetic design, and energy fields of the micro and macro levels). So, perhaps we are holograms WEARING holograms within a hologram etc etc etc. funky little bracelet nonetheless, and i didn't pay a cent... great deal!

from +P-

u should not have stolen it u can go to ebay and buy ur own for like 2.00

im just wondering does it really work, is there a scientist that i cant actually ask and say can you prove to me it works, im very interested in buying one and hope it lives up to the expectations. if any one can help or give advice it would be greatly appreciated

At my gym, i thougth they were cute little water resistant watches. The trainer explained . they are not watches, and he'd walk me through trying one out. With no bracelet on yet, Had me extend my right arm out, look over my right shoulder, and see how far I could twist to the right, with my arm fully extended out. I did pretty good, about how far I figured I could twist (without being or feeling like a bird). Then, he put a single bracelet on (my left wrist, not that it matters), and had me twist to the right again. I had no idea what the point of all this was. Instead of just twisting where I did a few seconds ago, I kept going, with no pain. I just twisted sooo much further, and it freaked me out! My face dropped and my eyes lit up, and my response was ' I feel like im in the twilight zone'. I couldn't believe it. I'm just a 29 yr old kick boxer from KC, MO. I have nothing to gain or lose from writing this. I just bought one from Amazon. Hope it works as well (it looks the same) as the ones in my gym. Pretty rad. He said it has something to do with our bodies have natural tremors, and this helps calm them...Whatever...it worked!

Hi,I am from South-Africa and can't find a shop that sells the original power balance wristband. I did send a mail to there official site about 2 weeks ago but still didn't get any answers. A friend off mine has another tipe off power bracelet (almost like the original but not 100%),he says he also sleeps better since he has started to put this bracelet on. Did anyone else had the same excperience? Does anyone know where I can get the original power balance wristband in South-Africa? Thanks

Hi Theresa, about your question on where you can find the original powerband in south africa : I'm in plett at the moment and there is a cycle shop along the main road, they have the power band. R500 for the band.

hallo

I don't know where you live in S.A. I live in Pretoria and there is a shopping centre called Brooklyn Mall. There is a Gadget Shop where you can get one for R395!

You've got to be kidding me. I simply cannot fathom how stupid people are in 2010. This is no different to the snake oil peddled on the streets of London in the 1600's and you're still lapping it all up.

This is a sticker on a latex band.

I can assure you that even the manufacturers do not believe a word of this. They haven't even attempted to "imprint" frequencies on the stickers, they've simply printed them on a press, stuck them to a band and marketed it to the masses who are all too stupid and gullible to even think about how little sense it makes. They are laughing to themselves each time another stupid sap pays R500 for a band that cost them R5 to make.

Hi Theresa

Have you come right with finding a braclet? Where abouts in SA are you? There are alot of agents out and about now selling them. Be careful you don't get conned though. People are selling alot of cribs.

I am in Durban and can get you one. I first saw them at a fight force thing i went to at the beginning of the year. Some agents that aren't looking to make alot of money out of them are selling them for alot cheaper so find an individual and not an outlet that sells them.

Hope that helps.

always a skeptic around and u obviously haven't tried it yet but shooting off your mouth, it works just try the tests and you'll see. I didn't believe it at first either but then after doing all the tests i was sold.

I'm a 15 year old and i'd seen lots of people wearing the power bands saying stuff like "I can't believe it works" and stuff like that and i just said it's all in your head it's a scam, but then one of my mates asked me to touch my toes, i couldn't, made my put the band on and try again, i could touch my toes, i thought what the hell? took it off and he told me to lay down knees up and hands crossed over my chest, so i did, told me to sit up as far as i could, so i did and told me to try and resist him pushing me down, i couldn't hardly, put the band on and i felt somewhat stronger, (still couldn't last though) so yeah i think it works if your not a believer just try them things i said without then with the band it's crazy! :) definately got 1 straight away!

Hi Theresa, I bought my PB wristband at Pro-T Cycling in Klerksdorp for R495! You can find them on the web.

have anyone ever hand the chance of finding out the after effect or the defect of these things?
I would like to know how this affects one when he or she no longer uses it or what happens to a old man or woman who used it during his or her younger age.

I am a Nigerian and wants to start the business of it through a friend of mine who would be bringing it from China.

Thanks

Using the bracelet has improve my patience. I feel more calm and paused. In addtion I had tennis elbow and had to use a brace to play tennis; after using the bracelet, not only has the pain dissapear, but I can play without any support.

SCAM. Pure and simple. If you're gullible enough to believe this nonsense you deserve to be scammed.

SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE to demonstrate that there is any effect: NONE. ABSOLUTELY NONE.

In case you haven't heard of it, it's called "the placebo effect".

Do you actually know what a placebo is??? If you truly believe it works, then your mind can convince your body that it does, therefore it works. If people believe it works, let them believe it, if you dont, thats up to you, dont try and convince them otherwise. Would you try and tell the pope that god doesnt exist if you didnt believe??? I doubt it very much and if you did, you yourself are a complete idiot. I am a 26 year old cage fighter from the uk and my balance has improved since wearing the bracelet, I have good balance anyway having been a gymnast in my younger days and I still noticed a difference. So, if you want to get one, go ahead, if not, then dont, but leave the people that do believe alone!!!

Ummm...No - that isn't what the placebo effect is. The placebo effect is when people report that they have improvements in symptoms because they are taking a placebo - BUT THEY DON'T.

For instance you might take a cough syrup recommended by your doctor. If he asks whether you are coughing less, you might say yes because you THINK your symptoms have improved. But in the fifteen minutes he sits with you, he counts our coughs and realizes that your cough is exactly the same as it was before - you only think you have gotten better.

That's the placebo effect.

Isn't it freaking absolutely amazing how gullible people can be? I can kind of see it from these kids, but even grown ups convince themselves this BS is for real. This shows you how powerful belief can affect someone mentally. These bands won't give you better balance, make you stronger, or run faster, only builder a stronger body and practice will do that. As for all the fools wasting their money, they deserve to be taken. And by the way, we ran a test with 20 people to see if there were any real changes when wearing the bracelet, not a surprise, their were none. People did tend to TRY and push them selves harder when wearing the bracelet but could duplicate their performance when not wearing it. My congrats to all the people with enough commonsense not to fall for this sham.

ever heard the phrase mind over matter?? if you believe you can lift a truck off of a child trapped under it, chances are you'd be able to lift the truck. Many religions & faiths have beliefs that are much more far fetched, and yet people have performed near miracles because of their belief.
You should really try something before you create your opinion. Who are you to knock what someone else belives?

hi please will you give some info as how to purchase these power bands i need to re-sell in south africa.

You cam get them on Ebay for just a few dollars. At that price I may try it.

just be carefull of fakes, thats why i reckon most people think it doesnt work as they getting the fake stuff.

Any idiot who complains about losing money to this "scam" is just that, an idiot. It has an unconditional 30 day money back option.... Whether it works or not, if you dont like it, then just get your money back. And on another note, those that claim the Plecebo effect are hurting thier own arguments.. Even if it does nothing but the plecebo effect.. isnt that still an effect? If you have cancer and they tell you they will give you a pill to cure it, and the pill works. Later you find out it was just a sugar pill, would you really give a damn either way if the cancer vanished? Its been proven time and time again that the plecebo effect can be stronger than anything else but, if you cant trigger the effect on your own.. Then why would having a bracelet that does be a bad thing.

That is by far the best post on here. Why are the "anti" people even on here? Do they not have anything better to do?

I have never, not once witnessed such ludricous misuse of a terrible condition (cancer) used to boost the sales of a product (scam product).

You are one of the few people who deserve to be absolutely brutally violated for such idiocy.

Do you really think that the placebo effect can cure cancer? Something Scientist missed off before spending Billions in research... I do agree with your arguemnt to some degree.. especially with the 30 days refund, however you should have thought of a better example than cancer...
Also you claim that 'theyt woudlnt be bothered if it was a placebo of not if it worked' but once they find out that it is a placebo then surely it would not continue to work.. They may have more belief in their abilities but thats all..And for someone reading these comments, thinking of buying a band (like me), then there would be no point buying the band as the placebo effect again would not work. Therefore your arguemnt that 'if only its a placbo effect it doesnt matter, as its still an effect' is not very helpful for someone thinking of buying one.
I myself think i might buy one, based on the fact that there is a full refund period, so thanks

That is not what the placebo effect is. The placebo effect is when you THINK your symptoms have improved due to a placebo when in fact they haven't changed at all.

Then but a rock in your pocket idiot and believe it will do the same, its a lot cheaper!

I think his point still remains. If people wear the band and they push their bodies harder because of it and become better athletes, then it is what they needed. When you struggle lifting weights, if your spotter barely touches the weights you can push right through the last rep as easy as the first. If people perform better wearing it then it is no different than a spotter looking like they are taking off a lot of weight when they are really doing nothing. The human mind and body is crazy hard to understand and if people perform better while wearing the band, then it works, regardless of any true scientific evidence.

Also, I think the cancer example was an extreme example for the sake of arguement. I hope he is not saying that a sugar pill can cure cancer.

Echo that and Amen. Jason P

Thank you for the comment about the placebo effect.
Furthermore if this is all about your mind which I believe it is because a friend tried to convince me that the bracelet does do wonder. I pushed myself harder just to prove her wrong but that is me, that does not mean everyon is the same.
If people push themselves harder with the bracelet and accomplish positive results, work harder, and live a better life whether it is indeed the bracelet itself that has "Powers" or the mind I honestly do not see where the problem is as long as the results are positives.
Human are very complex and just becaue it does not work for you does not mean the next person is stupid. To those who call others stupid if you are here to write comments about something that did not work what does that say about you? you tried it so you believed enough to try until you realized that it did not work for you. No one is stupid, we just do not all think alike. If the results are positive, let us live life and rejoyce for people's happiness....
P.S...

very well said JasonP! The effects caused by the mind are incredibly powerful! there is nothing in the universe more powerful than the human mind, and if a bracelet helps people to harness that, thats fantastic!! if it doesn't help some....return the product for your refund & move on.

Hi I was given a wristband from a friend. I did not get the original packaging so I do not know if they come with any warnings. My friend stopped wearing the band as he said it gave him a headache which should have warned me. I used the wristband while I slept or tried to, after about two hours of wearing the wristband I became violently ill, vomitting, aching all over. I took the band off but it was too late. I was terribly sick for the whole day, could not eat anything and every muscle and nerve in my body ached. It is coming up for 24 hours after putting the wristband on and only now am I starting to feel better. Please be careful when wearing this product. I have spoken to importers and distributors and it seems that I am not the only one who has had side effects but mine seem to be one of the worst.

I was so excited about this bracelet...I practice and teach yoga and thought that maybe it would help with my balance and energy. My friend has one and swears by it so I bought one for my husband, mom and grandmother. I wore it the first day I bought it and felt nothing. Neither did my family members. But now my mom can balance on one foot better than before. As for me, I forgot about the bracelet and left it in my drawer. Today I came across it and decided to wear it to yoga class. It did not work for me at all. Acutally, it worked opposite. I could not do my standing balance at. I could not focus or concentrate. I didn't blame it on the bracelet. So I continued to wear the bracelet all day and all day long I have felt very nervous, very high energy. I could not focus on my work. My mind was running in circles. I have to say, I think it is the bracelet. I guess it does work, but not in a positive way for me. Definitely be careful and mindful of your body's energy. I'm just now starting to feel a little better.

hey dont get pissy just cuz it doesn't work for you. why don't you get a life and go find something that does. it works awesome for me and almost everyone elses in the world that has one!

Woodz, give her a break, she is only saying what happened to her. She have it a go, it didn't work, OK. I am grateful for her balanced opinion.

i play basketball and noticed some improvement in my game , it might be the placebo effect but at least works for me, i also think that it works on some people specially sportsmen, if you are out of shape and have low energy it might not work, and remember , it improves balance... it is not a magic bracelete

I Am 65, don't believe in much hocus pocus, however, my son convinced to put it on
The PB braclet yesterday, which I have now worn overnight.
I have a tight muscle knot next to my right shoulder blade, which has become incrasingly painful over the last 10-15 years. The knot is now restricting blood flow up to my neck and lately to my shoulder and elbow, causing pain, and restricting arm motion.
One night with the PB bracelet Has halfed my pain an motion ability.
The imrovement is incredible compared to the thausand of dollars I have spent on massaging this
area.

I could have written this comment as well. I was given a PB as a Valentines gift from my son as he has worn one for some time, and I had been looking to purchase one for myself. I put the PB on and slept through the night. Previously I've been awakened by tingling in my right arm/hand. (seeing a specialist to get cerv #5

In regards to the silicon Power Balance, does anyone know if the band should be tight or loose fit? I recently purchased one and there is a bit of spacing between the band and my skin. Not sure if sizing matters or not for the band to be truly effective.

Hey bro don't think so. I've done the tests with the wristband on, and with the wristband in my pocket and they both worked. My mate who sold it to me doesn't even have it in bracelet form. He has one of the chips inside the back cover of his cell phone and keeps another in his pocket. and so far so good for him as well

In reply to the distance the band should be worn , it is recommended to wear the band
with contact of the body's natural energy field which varies from person to person, but typically ranges from 1 to 3 inches (2 1/2 to 7 1/2 cm's) from the skin. ( I just copied that off the instructions on the packet of the band)
My son offered me his band to see how it worked for my energy levels as I suffer with Multiple Scerosis, fatigue, balance and weakness to be major problem symptoms. I have been wearing it for 5 days now and have found it to be very beneficial to me. It has no way cured my problems but I have found a definate noticable improvement with my stamina and balance. First off I thought it was just a coincidence but it has continued whilst wearing this miraculous band. I have now bought my own as I don't want my son to be without his in his very physical building job. I don't care what they call it or how it works .... it just works and that's good enought for me to have purchased one ! .. I will give anything a go if it makes me feel better. Anyone who doesnt believe it works (like me!) just borrow someones band and do the one arm out the other one down by your side test and get someone to push your arm down without it on, then try it again with it off .... it will prove itself.
It was explained to me that it sort of reflects the negative sapping energy around us from eg.. our tv's , microwaves, computer screens, power lines etc, etc and it helps our body funtion at it's higher natural levels without all those engery sapping fields in our body. I know I haven't explained it very well, but it's something close to that effect.

yeah the guy i bought it from said it works fine in your pocket

I have been wearing my power balance for approx 2weeks I hav'nt noticed much difference in my health ...they do say to leave it on for 3weeks at least to notice any health improvements.....my general health is good ....I go to Gym 3 times a week .....I'm in my 60's but dont feel that I'm superman yet!!!!

Don't hold your breath. At 60 you should know better.

i am a reiki practitioner just got powerband as a gift. this thing is awsome as it balances my energy frequency of my body. like recieving a 24 hour reiki treatmnt. placebo or not . i love this thing. oh! check out kinesiology can explain what this is about.

My partner purchased him & myself a powerband 3 weeks ago & believe me... I was very skeptic when he started explaining it to me. My partner is a personal trainer & so I was like 'here we go, he's caught onto one of these gimick things' but a matter a fact - whether it is in the mind or not - it works! I do boxing for fitness & have been for about 2 months now I have noticed my power in my punches & more so, my balance after a punch has improved. I have tested my boxing with & without it - & I there is a big difference. I too, have nothing to gain from the company who manufactures this band. I am mother of 3 with a back problem - so whatever helps me, helps me - even if it maybe in the mind. But I am a believer... & an everyday user.

for sale in South Africa through the website Bid or Buy for R140. Its also in auction with start bids of R50

I bought 2 of these for my son and I and we both love them. We can already feel the difference in our strength and motion. I do have a question though.....someone told my son that they can cause blood clots. Has anyone ever heard of this? That sounds like a pretty serious side effect and nobody seems to be talking about it. I think the guy was wrong but would sure like to hear from someone who knows.

Sounds like a load of bull. It's like this:

-People are afraid of hard work and dedication.
-I have a lot of energy because I devote time and plenty of effort to exercise and proper nutrition.
-If you truly want to have more energy, then get up 30 minutes earlier and run.
-Don't eat junk that does nothing for your body.

If you want more energy and improved fitness, pay for a 2$ jump rope, not a 30$ piece o rubber.

there are plenty of athletes that use these and im pretty shure that they don't do any of those things

athletes get paid to wear this thing. just like they get paid to wear mcdonalds logos, it doesnt meen they eat it. also WOODZ, it is pretty obvious that you either sell these things or you are a complete idiot.

Right on brother, it's amazing how many people fall victim to the power of suggestion.

lol idiots & Bio-logical: obviously you want to hear yourself completely piut down people just to see your comments in print - you have too much time on your hands & should really just leave well enough alone....who are you to say if it works for people. Its increidbly small-minded & ignorant to call people stupid for something they believe - how would you like to have something you believe mocked? In the words of every parent to a child....if you don't have anything nice to say, don;t say anything at all! i'm sure the rest of the world would appreciate it.

This is a amazing power balance bracelet you want to see.

Me and a friend did a few tests with this and a Livestrong armband. The wearer was unaware witch one he was wearing. Unless Lance Armstrong added something magical to his armbands the result showed that the Livestrong armband has the same properties as this.

It is all in your head.

Thanks. I think I'm going to try the same experiment on a few of my friends who are 'believers'.

how can it be all in our heads when most people who try them dont believe in them what so ever?

I did the same test and I got the same results. I actually did all test wearing different things and the results were the same. Not sure why, but I am returning the wristband today.

You're underestimating the power of suggestion. Even if you don't believe it can work, you can still subconciously feel stronger or more balanced with it on, just through the idea that it's possible. If you've ever seen Derren Brown mess with peoples heads, you'll know how little it takes to make somebody believe something, even if they don't want to.

I'm skeptical about these, but if there have been any proper scientific tests that prove they work, I'd love to know. My Aunt has really bad ME and I'd love to get her one to try.

someone said that Power Balance bracelet is based on the idea of optimizing the body’s natural energy flow, similar to concepts behind many Eastern philosophies.it will make you the best you can be and get yourself into gymnasiums.

Power balance bracelet instantly improves human body's balance, endurance, flexibility and strength. Sounds incredibly amazing, just like a lot of mumbo jumbo, but it really works.

I bought 2 & got one free at da mall in Florida! I already knew about electro magnetic fields going through da body. I slept good & soundly last night after staying up late & no drowsiness during da day. We are a wireless, microwaving, & cell phone generation...this help with all da electromagnetic chaos that run through our bodies I think!

I've had mine for three weeks now and it works wonders, I had lower back pain almost every morning and since i started wearing mine it has gone away more and more everyday and now its gone completely. I like the product so much I'm thinking of stocking them in my body jewelry stores.

does it have to be tight on u

no, it can even be in your pocket and work

I believe that this bracelet does have side effects for pregnant women. My husband bought me a bracelet because I am 8 weeks pregnant. He wanted to make sure that I never fell and we both took the bracelet test. It did work!! 48 hours later, I was in the hospital with lower back pain and bleeding. The ER doctor prescribed bedrest until I could see my OB. I continued to wear the bracelet because I didnt think there was anything in it that would harm me. I continued to bleed but did not have anymore back pain. After a week of wearing the bracelet, I took it off. What do you know that the bleeding stopped!!! Other than this complication, the bracelet works! It gives you more energy and balance!

Well I've bought one myself and my golf swing has dramatically changed. ive never had golf lessons but have played golf my whole life and my back swing rotation has cleaned up like i couldn't believe. I was asked to wear one by a friend not having even heard of them let alone knowing what is was and noticed changes staright away. I played out the 9 holes and was baffled with how it worked.
So as soon as I got home I researched them for a short while then straight away heading to the closest store to get one.
Whether it was the band or just a mental barrier I got over whilst wearing I couldnt care. If it helps me or other people why not use it.

I just bought a powerband, how long does the or is the energy band good for?

Can you tell me if you can wear power balance when you are pregnant?

nope it does not say

This really does work, whenever my sister wears it she gets a nose bleed within a half an hour.

She can't wear it anymore because of that unfortunately

many people believe that the Power Balance Bracelet will indeed increase their strength and flexibility, along with heighten their sense of awareness and improve wellness.

WHAT A JOKE! ANOTHER GREAT EXAMPLE OF HYPE AND MARKETING MEETING STUPID GULLIBLE CUSTOMERS.

I AM GOING TO START SELLING POWER DIRT ON THE NET, BY THE BAGFUL. YOU JUST EAT THE DIRT AND YOU FEEL BETTER INSTANTLY!

silly noob. i want u to try it please. it does wonders

nah power dirt is real it actually works up to 10 times better than the power balance braclet. 9 out of 10 doctors agree

Hi anyone here know if the power balance is safe to pregnant?

lots of people are saying no. just dont chance it.

hahah oh yeah get it pregnant lol..

Well, I believe that the real "Power Balance" is in your head, but i'm still going to buy one bracelet. I have one question, does it has to be tight? Or can it be loosen? Thanks

i bought one yesterday instantly works it boosts your energy better. its a natural high and looks good also.makes me hyper all the times. i take it off when i go to sleep because it wont keep me sleep. what a invention. i love my power balance.

coco who???

Just purchased one at full price for peace of mind. Will let you know how it goes. Lots of fakes out there so dont get sucked into believing that you can get a bargain for half the price.... the goods are likely to be fake.

i was just wondering if you had heard for sure about "fakes." when i search for powerbalance wristbands on ebay, almost all of them are cheap and coming from china. this obvioulsy makes me second guess if they are the real deal. I was just wondering if anyone had purchased the more inexpensive bands and if you have any opions or experience as to whether they work as well or not. Thanks!

what is so special about a Power Balance Bracelet, and why are so many people wearing them? Do Power Balance bracelets really improve balance, power and strength?

No its all in your mind. did the test in a kiosk in mall its fake

I bought two for $15 from a lady at a snowcone stand and they work great! My balance and felxibility were immediatley improved!

I bought two of these and they do seem to make a difference however within two weeks one of the holographic discs on each band dropped off. A for doing the job d- for quality

they dont work that quick mate

haha dude at mall kiosk said they work instantly that right there tells you there fake if the people selling these cant even get the info right

I just tested this today... was very skeptical when my cousin came to me and told me it works. So he told me to see how far I could reach my toes without bending my knees, then he gave me the bracelet and told me to do it again, and to my amazement I could reach further! Still skeptical I took the band off and tried it again, and again amazed found my reach to be less then with the band on. Dont tell me its "Positive thinking" when a complete skeptic is baffled by this.

The Power Balance bracelet is made of pure surgical grade silicone that is extremely durable. Its stretch feature optimizes users' comfort level.

EBay straight from China where they are made $6 new. Why would you spend do much. And yes it does work. Don't know how.

More energy, a general well feeling . What can I say... I have fallen inlove with it.

Amazon's got pretty good deals

first off ill start by saying i disbelieved my sister the whole time she tried to tell me this works. i ran the tests with and without the braclet and was laughing because of how well it worked. it really does work. amazingly at that. i havent found a reason to believe the braclet is a scam.

Wise people know that that there's a SUCKER born every minute !!!
Unfortunately the dishonest crooks amongst us, are too willing to take advantage of the SUCKERS by selling them snake oil (a la wristbands) and false hopes.

I happen to be an electronics/communications engineer and know a thing or two about frequency generators. I can tell you that there is no way that a rubber/silicone band with holograms can be a frequency generator, nor can a frequency generator provide the sort of powers I've read about above.

This wrist thingy IS NOTHING BUT A SCAM and I'd be willing to be to bet my balls that most of the postings which talk about it glowinlgy, are probably the SCAMMERS or the resellers that have an interest in sucking in even more suckers.

If you want to spend $60 because you think it looks good on your wrist, by all means go ahead and buy it. ..... But don't be sucked in by claims of supernatural powers, because it is nothing more than placebo and bull.

ha ha, this is to the guy putting his balls on the line. Wether it real or just all in the mind it doesnt matter dude they work for people and thats what they're designed to do. I wish you the best of luck keeping your balls

I totally agree with WiseMick. Most of people here saying it works are probably the resellers. Just warning the readers. There are more to read in the internet saying this is scam.

its nuthin but a scam, its all in your head...they always put the band on you the second time bcuz your body and mind already know whats what...if you believe it really works then they deserve the $30 from your poket hahaha

i am all about mind over matter... i have a bracelet that feels and look similar to the power bracelet i found in my daughters dresser, i did 10 tests on 10 friends. all 10 of them i showed them the athletes who wore it, the youtube testimonials and explained to them the frequency stuff that the bracelet does and how popular it was. they all were so shocked at how it worked, how much stronger they felt, and could not believe the difference in balance strength test with and without the bracelet. all 10 had positive effects WITH MY FAKE BRACELET. i guess i should start selling bracelets that i randomly find and tell them about all the amazing things it does and show them all the people buying into it... mind over matter.. if you really believe good for you.. even though i dont think it works it does give people strength because they actually believe it!!

no most people actualy don't believe it

i agree ,this is bull anyone who thinks doing abslutly nothing but spending 40 euro will have an effect on their energy or balance or strenght should send their cash to me at po. box. bull shit ,dublin,. ire and i gaurentee you get the same results ....a talking piece for a month or two and and you cash in someone elses account.
professional trainer for the past 25 years

i have power balance wristband..actually..i feel better after wearing it.. i feel an energy coming from my hand and like coming inside to my pulse.. i feel energetic and hyper..

its a load of bollocks

A holographic disk to improve strength and balance.........the only sensation you should get from buying one of these is a deep warm and red tingling across your face..........try my snake oil instead , much cheapness!

Absolutely has done wonders for my breathing pattern. My sinuses are disappeared. I suffer from CFS muscle weakness and fatigue, it's neurological disorder. I'm an engineer, artist and a spiritual reader. Not to forget a housewife, a babysitter and a social radical. I need all the energy I can get. It works.

I went to the US Open Tennis last week and saw several players wearing it. I bought one for me in one of the Sports Stores in NYC. Since then, I am wearing it and never take it off. Should I take it off before I take a shower? How long this will last? How do you take care of it?

I purchased two bands -- within a week, one band broke at the seem .. Poor workmanship

I'm 66, with widespread arthritis. I bought a bracelet hoping to ease the pain in my hips and lower back. I really didn't expect what happened within an hour of putting it on. My shoulders and arms became so flexible I can now cross my arms behind my back, which was totally impossible before. All my pains are much diminished, and I wouldn't be without the bracelet. Other people who use one tell me it has had a wonderful effect on their pains. It's not just for the sporty ones! For those of you who found no difference, could this be because you are lucky enough to have an already healthy, well-balanced body?

Well said im 51, it does work i have bad hips

I was at Reno Nevada (for the Rib Cook off), and was going through the flea market they hold there. I am a skeptic when it comes to this kind of thing, I am 62 and age is catching up with me. My daughter wanted to check these things out and went through the demo and was happy with the results, being the skeptic I am, I decided to really put it to the test. My wife has had zero energy and muscle tone due to assorted medical problems. They did a strength and balance test on her and what a difference it made. We bought four of them, my wife, daughter, grandaughter, and me. For me, my balance has greatly improved, and I have noticed a lot more spring in my step. No Joke! We are going to get one for my mother in law. If it helps her, then it really works for whatever reason! Mike M. CA

quite expensive..

i have one and they work really well

I received a power band from my young son for my birthday and I can tell you it works. I would be much easier to say it doesn't. I would like to say it doesn't but I am a Jazzercise Instructor and since wearing it my balance is on! I had to wear it because my son gave it to me, the band in my mind was equivilant to the noodle necklace he gave me when in pre-school, but I noticed immediately I had better balance. We tend to do quite a bit of balancing with weights and during core strengthening exercises and I don't wobble! I never teach a class with out it.

Bah humbug!! My friend has one I barrowed it for sometime and there was no difference. Those who claim it works were of course under placebo effect. Better spend your money on better things.

I just bought one and I don't know what to think!

are they waterproof?

Yeah they are waterproof. You don't ever have to take them off.

YES THEY ARE WATERPROOF

the power balance band has helped me become more energetic and helps me focus on school work! i wont regret buying it!

how to buy this??

I was at yoga class on Sunday and my friend had the bracelet on. I was laughing at him until he put it on me and did a couple of balance demonstrations. Whatever it was it worked. Without it he could easily knock me off balance and with the bracelet on it felt almost as if my feet were firmly planted and rooted into the ground. Don't know why or how but it did something. Even if it is just balance it helps with I'm sure the benefits to daily life and activity could be plenty. With that said, it can't be all that preposterous that this bracelet's effect on balance could translate into other physical benefits like strength and speed or agility. For someone that sits on the couch all day then yes, don't think you'd see a benefit.

Power Balance is AWESOME!! It completely changed the amount of energy i have every day!!!

Hi are there any side effects from the band? Do you have to wear the holograms facing the skin?

YOU WEAR THE HOLOGRAMES UP, BY THE WAY THERE REALLY GOOD

I wore one of these bracelets for tennis, thought it might have helped, and couldn't figure out why I was sleeping like a log and had a persistant headache.

Took off the band, and presto: no headache, and can now get up in the a.m.!!

Believe me: they work. They are brilliant if you're an insomniac (not my problem) or if you enjoy a headache you can't lose.

OMG !!! have been having exacly this same issue... Took it off tonight and headache was gone withing the hour. Bought this from a work mate some 7 days ago.

Def returning this for a refund.

I had the opposite effect, had headache for a good week or two before i got the band and i find it actually helps. I dont keep it on at night so can't say for the sleeping side of things but I guess everyone is different.

BAAAAHAHAHAHAA OMG.
how stupid can you people be? not only do you believe this might actually work but someone asked if if could affect their unborn baby.
If you guys want something that really works i can sell you some snake oil.

Its fine to not believe in something but there is no need to disregard what other people believe. There have been, are, and will be many things that people dont believe in throughout our lifetime but if it doesnt harm anyone else whats the problem...

Hello, have you ever read the book maniac megee? its pretty good you should look into it

are there any know side effects to using this. I have been ecperiencing lack of enerygy and muzzy headaches. I am currently practicing for my 42km marathon and comrades marathon 2011

I got my Pereformance Balance Band a week ago and have been experiencing loss of balance (almost like I was anemic) and then I noticed a bruise on my wrist exactly where the hologram was pressing. Just the test my theory, I am now wearing it on my other wrist (couple of hours) - will be interesting to see if it does the same thing.

anyone who buys this because they think it will actually make them stronger is an idiot...it still looks cool though so i can understand why some people buy them

Hi I was wondering is it ok for pregnant wemon to wear the power balance braclets?

Yes go ahead and wear it. Your baby will not know that you are a gullible sucker.

I have only had mine for three days, and I sleep like a log, which complete surprize!

I am a dancer, and I am healthy, relatively strong,

... So?

I just ordered one on Amazon for about 5 dollars (plus shipping and handling it was about 10 dollars). I ordered the red/white lettering one. I researched this product for about 2 weeks and I was a skeptic as many people were. My friend has one of these and I asked him if I could try it and I had a rubber band bracelet as well. He put one of the bracelets in my pocket and I had no clue which one it was. I ordered it on Amazon due to the price cause 30 dollars is kind of ridicilous. I bought one of these because I train in Martial Arts. It would help me in sparring, weight lifting, and Judo (try and stay up against someone in a tournament). Hopefully the one I ordered is not a fake and is in good condition.

The frequency/hertz is real. The effects are scientific/physics based. Want a shocker? You can get basically the same results from a US coin(I haven't tried a penny yet). The US minting process of imprinting the metal produces a similar charge to the bracelets. I have been experimenting with some foreign coins, but none have worked that I tried. This would also explain "negative" strength/balance test with the bands. If the person has a coin in their pocket, the band "doesn't" work because the person is already get the frequency from the coin.

A cool trick. When you do the strength/balance test, have someone holding the bracelet or a US coin touch the test subject. The frequency travels from person to person when touching(not sure how long of a human chain will work). It's a water thing(we're 70% water) and water is a great conductor of electric current. This also means the person performing the test cannot have a bracelet or US coin on them. Or the test won't work.

Look forward to seeing some replies on this.

Knowledge is dangerous! :) jb

so i cant carry my change while wearing this bracelet what a bunch of crap

What a bunch of crap!

dear a mom it is not a banch of crap it works and is great

yes it does work.
and it is not a placebo because by definition a placebo is when the subject is fooled to believe it's actually real.
Everyone who tests the powerband are extremely doubtful and expect it to fail so it is NOT a placebo.

dose it work or not thats the big question ? some poeple like it but does it realy work ? how do we no if it's safe for children? i've been looking for the website but i can't find it any where?

DOSE IT WORK OR NOT ?
my step mum has M.S and were going to give it a go has anyone with M.S tried it for balance and tiredness ???

i bought one and mine dosnt work i was stupid enough to buy 1 ..and not * enough to believe in its magical qualities ...save ur money

I got one as a joke and my friends and I have had a good chuckle pretending that I'm suddenly Superman. It's not to be taken seriously.

Hey, i have MS to, and im going to give it a shot, have nothing to loose, hsa syour mom tried it?

I won a couple of those bands at the bikers rally on saturday night so far my band works perfect for my energy. I am sick and have no energy what so ever. saturday night I was at a bikers rally. I never ever dance on a saturday night at the rallies BUT saturday night you couldnt get me to go and sleep I didnt read the instructions or info on the box I just put it on (I love the colour) and it looked nice that was what I tought and I was sceptic about this band IT WORKS ASK ME I KNOW!

agreed with the last part. basic human psychology...

i reckon they look cool but the drawn on one work better

Can you get these (surgically) implanted?

The world would not turn without gullible people, these type of fads are not new, there has been many in the past..and yes there are side effects.. a lighter pocket.

I have CFS and I too just bought one of these bands. Will it work? I don't know yet - but I am willing to try anything that may help me improve my quality of life! I am also a believer that, even if it is all 'mind over matter', what is the harm? If people see benefits from it (the actual product, or from believing), then it has served it's purpose!

Do I have to take it off when I bath or sleep. Got 1 as a present today and I am going to give it a chance

I have done a lot of research about the Technology behind this as I suffer from chronic back pain and was looking for something to help me out. Below what I found

The inventor Troy Rodarmel says he drew from his background of Computers to design and invent this thing. I myself have a Electronics Engineering and Computer Science degrees and wouldn't know the first thing about what the human bodies resonant frequency is (I doubt any one knows that, if there even is one). A spokesman for the company says that it operates on a frequency of 7.83Hz which I suspect is based on a famous value called Schumann resonance. This is basically the frequency by which if transmitted the wavelength will be the length of the circumference of the earth. How this value relates to the human body I dont know. This value was calculated in 1952 and is purely theoretical and real world test have actually shown this value to be different the actual value due to solar winds and changing values within the earths ionosphere . The band is a Mylar hologram how a Mylar hologram (mylar is a insulator by the way) retains a frequency baffles me as mylar is used in cellphones to protect the electronics as it its and insulator which has negligible electrical or thermal conductivity.

Anyway I think it is all purely a placebo effect. I tried the tests with the power band(my girlfriends) and tried to wear it for a day or two with no effect. You might see effects but ask yourself is the band or is it just you looking for something

Go look at their website its full of testimonials and vague facts which reminds of alot other scams out there. Personally I think the inventors are laughing all the way to the bank.. Cant fault them on their marketing though.. Brilliant

do not belief this is just a money making scheme

A girl at a party completely sold me on this bracelet so I went out an purchased one. I put it on, didn't really notice much of a difference, but discovered something strange last night (thursday night). I've had a horrible cold that has pretty much incapacitated me, which is unusual since I exercise even with the stomach flu. I removed the bracelet to get a spray tan and didn't put it back on for a couple of hours. My cold felt a lot better. I saw the bracelet by my bedstand, put it on and within 20 min, my cold was much worse. I took it off, went to sleep, woke up feeling almost recovered, then put the bracelet on when I got to work this morning, the cold came back in a big way. Took it off, my congestion is just about gone. Also, I realized that I had a cold all weekend, but didn't have the bracelet on because it interfered with my Halloween costume. I managed to exercise and go out and party during this time. I put the bracelet back on Monday night and woke up feeling horrible on Tuesday. There is the chance that the hallogram does absolutely nothing and I'm allergic to silicone, but either way, this bracelet is going in the garbage.

I think what happened in your situation was that it assisted your body to detoxify quicker thatis why you got worse. A cold is a cleansing of toxins in your body. If you had mouldy food you are bound to get a col

Do's it matter what side arm it's on

WHAHAHAHAHA.
The pseudo-scientific explanation was probably the worst rubbish I've ever heard, and that includes the nonsense uttered by that Tanzanian Shaman/conman I once met .

this is garbage you think its gonna work so your mind persuades your body to do in other words the placibeo effect. trust me i have taken a lot of testing and facts to prove this power bracelet wrong its a scam

like omgfs it does work!!!!

where u buy this from???

I have 2 Power Balance wristbands and I have to say that it actually works. I'm an athlete, so I know how to tell if my balance is better or not. And I have to say that it works. I don't know what it is but I feel like I have a lot more energy and I have better balance! I hope this will help those who want to if it works or not.

They are proven to do absolutely nothing for power or balance but they are an accurate measure of intelligence

hey guys, im a medical scientist majoring in physiology and biochemistry. I saw my cousin wearing this band and was curious to find out about it, as its my nature to question things. I literally laughed in his face when he told me about it and then proceeded to do the demo tests on me....needless to say it worked, as it has for so many. BUT then i questioned whether it was infact my mind being prepared for the action following the addition of the band so then i decided to do the tests in reverse, ie, i put on the band did the tests and then took it off and repeated...as i predicted without the band I was stronger, more flexible and had greater balance without it. Its all in the mind people! Its a shame so many people are being ripped off but then again, if if takes R500 to unleash your weak mind then go for it.

awesome response...

my friend gave me one the other day so i am busy trying it out, but i don't believe in it...

even if you don't believe in it, if it were real, it would still work for you. that's all the proof you should need ppl.

where has the all knowing woodz gone? haha

stop looking for quick fixes to sort your lives out...you can't buy health, happiness, strenght etc...

surly everyone has a logical side to them?

i want that

this power balance band is not working for me why? someone please help me my email address is muhummedzubairkhan@yahoo.com, please give me more infomation on how this would work thank you.

I love my Power Balance bracelet. My first purchase I bought a fake one. I started to do some research on the product. The company made some changes because there were so many fakes out there. If the bracelet is very cheap BEWARE. I paid $29.99 at Academy Sports. Make sure that your bracelet has the words Authentic, Geniune,

It's called mind-over-matter. Who really knows? I would like an independant scince investigation to prove it actually does have an effect on our energy fields.
In the world of medicine there are lots of trials done with new drugs done with people. A select group is usually given the real drug to use and another group are given a "placebo". This is to test a true accurate result of the new drug or medicine being trialled. In a lot of cases the group that were given "placebos" reported that they had improvements in their illnesses or whatever the drug was supposed to do. Sometimes the placebo was just sugar and water! What does that tell you about the power of the mind? If you truelly believe you that you are being cured or in this case your energy fields are being balanced etc then that's really all in your mind then. Mind-over-matter. That's all it is. Snake oil merchants through and through. But hey if you believe it is helping then buy it, keep using it. I just tell myself I feel great everyday without the help of a silicone band. Eat healthy, sleep well, exercise regularly, don't stress, drink a glass of wine a day, take vitamins etc will make you feel better. I suppose at the end of the day it is your money. I am only offering my opinion. You do what you want. Cheers all

ur kidding right?

No I'm not kidding. Google placebo effect and see for yourself

Oh by the way I don't believe in the so-called properties and effects of the powerband. I think some of you might have been confused whether I am a believer of the power of the powerband. I assure I think they are worthless pieces of landfill material.

This Power Bracelet really works! I purchased mine at Sports Authority and as soon as I put it on, I could feel my wrist tingling because of the bracelet. I tried the balance tests and was indigenous to see that it actually works!

indigenous means 'native to an area'.

I bought the wristband in a sport fair. The reason at first is the look also I didnt really believe it as I too aware the promoter is faking the action. Perhaps he is just a "rookie".

I bring this wristband out for 20 KM run the first day, didnt notice any difference in my body except that my timing improve by about 2.5 minutes. I thought this maybe due to my good physical condition as sometime I do run badly due to insufficient rest.

The following day, I thought I might want to give it another try, and amazingly I clocked a solid 10 minutes improvement over my regular timing. Hmm ... that's really amazed me.

Well this is not all, I usually feel tire the next day after 2 consecutive runs ... but what amazed me is that I felt quite ok the next day and decided to go for another 20 KM and I completed it again in an improved timing.

I have also did another test by doing push-ups. I usually do about 300 push-up a day during evening time if I'm not running. I usually take 1/2 hour rest for each 60 push-up and still feel not ready to do the same the next interval. But again this little gadget really amazed me. After my first 60 push-ups, I realised that I recover much faster and ready to do the next interval in a much shorter time.

This is so far my experience with this wristband, nothing scientific yet quite happy with the results. Anyway Who cares whether it is placebo effect or not, as long as it works for me.

That is the daftest comment. "So what if it is a placebo" of course it is should have tied a plastic tie around your wrist for a penny and get the same effects.

I got given a power band on the wknd and had it on for 2 days yesterday i took it off and about half an hour after that i started feeling muscle spasms and a very sharp pain in my wrist ,after that i started to feel worse and was having hot and cold flushes ,last night i sweated the whole bed soaked . I still feel terrible today very weak and threw up this morning !!! I will never ever try any of these gimmics again .Think we r all better off without it !!!!

Sounds more like the flu

My little brother is in graduate school in Austin Texas for Physical Therapy, and as a class project, he has been testing the power balance bracelets on a number of test subjects (including my mother and myself who have physical injuries that inhibit certain types of body movements). He made us do a few test routines with and without the bracelet on, and while wearing the bracelet we were able to flex farther than we could without it during all of the test routines

Are you kidding me? Holograms? Vibrational frequency? It's all mumbo jumbo preying upon a gullible market. They say they haven't tested it scientifically because it isn't testible. I tried one for 2 weeks, and felt nothing, except for laughter from my friends when I tried to explain it to them. Go ahead and buy it, give your money to the marketers, but know what you're getting into.

this forum is for product review. why do you people argue one another's opinion of it when the sole purpose of the comments is to express only your views with personal experience with the product. go "blog" on your social network site. smdh

how do i know what size wrist band to get pls? i'm a man but have small wrists.. should i get M or S?? is it supposed to be tight around ur wrist?
thx

Save your money. It is a scam.

I was a complete skeptic about the product. When it was first introduced to me, I didn't think much of it. Curiousity got the best of me and I put the band on to give it a try. Again without given much thoughts of the product. Well let me tell you, after the second day of wearing the band, I had a boost of energy that you can not believe. It wasn't like s stimulant type of enery that you would get if you 've ever taken diet pills. It's hard to explain but it did give me a sense of well being. All I can say just try it. It taught me t never judge a book by it's cover..(-:

You are not a sceptic nor have you ever been one. Buying the bracelet proves the point. There is no such thing as a body energy field or frequency and if there was how does a plastic strip interfere with it never mind change it.

When i wear this power balance i fel great and strong

With my experience; the Power Balance wrist bands do seem to have a slight effect on one's energy within a short amount of time. However, if you are truly in search of a full on "balance" I highly recommend the Earthing or Grounding bed mats. After one week of use of my Earthing bed sheet the Power Balance band was more or less put to shame. Although I do agree the power balance does work; Grounding or Earthing mats and bands beat Power Balance bands all around. The Earthing mats go above and beyond; and honestly from my research and personal use I would recommend Earthing mats to anyone and everyone. They have the scientific research and user testimonials to prove my point. The Earthing mats and bands seem to be a modern science cure all. And I do honesty mean "cure all"; from inflammation and pain to circulation, stress to sleep, the Earthing mats are the way to go 100%.

I'VE GOT ONE PINK AND ONE BLUE AND I THINK THAT THEY HELP ME ALOT WITH FLEXIBILITY, ENERGY AND BALANCE SO SEARCH UP POWERBALANCES AND TH OFFICIAL WEBSITE NOW HAS THEM FOR AN AMAZING $59.9. REMEMBER BELIEVE IN POWER BALANCES, THEY ARE FABULOUS, BARGAIN AND YOU CAN COUNT ON THEM!

Power Balance Bracelet = scam to part the gullible from their cash

it is all in your head it does not give you extra power come on guys get real

I am completely blown away by this product! It's almost like a rubber band with a hello kitty hologram sticker on it! And yet, we can wield it's energy-tapping powers for the low low price of 60 dollars! Amazing! Pro athletes are paid to wear it too! it must really work!


Use your brain. Think for yourself. And know that if you "just give it a try, see for yourself"... it doesn't matter if it doesn't work for you, (or anyone) because the guy on TV still got your 60 dollars. You lose.

dose it have side effects?

it will have some side effects while flying. I was flying and it put my balance all off with the increase in blood flow. I was light headed and even threw up during take off and landing. I removed it from my wrist and within a 1/2 hour I was much better.

dear people... this is one more fraud along many others like this before.... the interesting thing is that there are always people who beleive and buy... good luck to swindlers...

you obviously bought one and expected miracles, You swindled yourself.

A friend of mine had one and I didn't no what it was, when I asked the question he whipped it off and went into the full demo of its powers. With no preconceptions and no idea what was supposed to happen he demondstrated the band on me, my wife and my 2 kids aged 7 and 9. And it worked on us all.

this powerbalance makes me feel hot

I bought one for my son at Sports Authority the other day. $30 seemed a little expensive, but he wanted it, so I did. I knew nothing of its "power" so I asked to try it out, since I suffer from bursistis, some hand/finger nerve damage, and a partial knee replacement back in '07 still causes me to drag the leg. Well, I was pleasantly surprised when my shoulder and hand "shakes/shudders" diminished dramatically! Drinking a glass of water is my reference test, normally shaking rather wildly as I drink with my left hand. With the band on, the shake disappeared about 90%. A Big deal for me! I tried it without the PB, and the shakes returned. Also, my typing on the keyboard is much better, never being able to tap the keys with my outside three fingers. Regarding my walking, I don't drag the leg when I wear the band. Also, I was able to sleep more soundly with the band on. After two days of testing, I gave my son his band back. At age 12 he probably won't feel any difference. I'm 55.

I went online and ordered (2) for about 1/3 the price of Sports Authority. I hope they're the real product. At least I'll be able to compare them to my son's. If they're fake, I'll trash them and buy one at retail...taking the $ hit, or I can "inherit" my son's when he grows tired of it.

These were my results. I could care less if you think it's in my mind and I'm wasting my money. My neurologist(s), orthopedic surgeon, and acupuncturist have helped only in getting themselves richer. My results from my Power Balance Band test for two days was better than any other medical treatment so far.

All I know is that with the band on, I can drink a glass of water smoothly, type on the keyboard better, not limp due to my surgery from 3 years back, and now I'm able to sleep through the night. For me, that's pretty dramatic! Your results, obviously, will vary. Good luck to you all, and I hope everyone is indeed using the real thing! If my 2 from Amazon prove to be fake, I guess it's true that you have to "Pay to Play."

Scam or not, mine stays on.
Does it work, works for me.
Do I expect miracles from this, No.
Do I think it will work fo revery one, No.
like all things of this type, for some it will work, for others not.
Is this a scam, not for me, the makers have not represented this as a cure all remedy band for everyone with any condition, as far as I know.
I f you ar enot happy, ask fo ryour money back, but why be so militant because it did not work for you.

Viagra does not work for every one either, but I don't hear calls of scam and charlotan with that.

Live and let live, I say, move on get over it and find something else to * about.

My Power balace band is self destructing. On both sides the bright discs is disolving from the centre and I can see right through it . It is not even three months old. Is my body or mind absolving this ?

Share your thoughts on this story...A class action was filed yesterday in Southern California against Power Balance… alleging unfair trade practices and false advertising (go see www.powerbalanceclassaction.com).

I just like to know. I buy my product in Dec 2010, but the metal piece in the middle are fade away. Is it possible? Phonenr 0837123785

can somebody advise me please received a bracelet for xmas and its a bit loose should you wear then tight on the skin and does it matter if the holograms dont touch the skin

I am a controversial type of Guy.
I decided to do some tests and put figures to these tests.
I did testing on three different candidates.
I took a wrist band that I managed to acquire and a power balance band that some idiot paid R800.00 for and a standard elastic band.
I used a fish scale that is easily available from a fishing store.

I then got the first victim to hold the fish scale in his hand, to close his eyes and stand on one leg I then tried the arm pull down test with no bands at all. I pulled down on the other end of the scale it measured 500grams before he lost his balance.

I then tried the power balance band using the same technique.
The scale went to 700grams
I then tried the common elastic band. Scale read 900 grams.
I carried this out on 3 different people.
The results were the ordinary elastic band won the power balance test every time.
Conclusion an ordinary elastic band has the most power.
I think I should start selling them at 3 times the price.

I appreciate your experiment, but it's inherently flawed. You did not have a control, and I would also recommend conducting the experiment in reverse. Also would be better to do it blind, oro better yet, double blind.

It has already been well established that people will perform better if they have reason to believe they will. And will perform more poorly if they are given cause to expect that outcome.

OMG!!! it might work for some on not for others. it doesn't work for me but i wear it just cause it looks cool... Anyways.....
if u buy it for 30 it isn't worth....

I can't tell you if it will work or not, but just as my experience, I go to PT every week for a hip bursitis. They use this machine-type of thing that works with your body's natural energy to ease pain. It sort of seems like the same concept as the bracelet. And this machine they use works for a lot of people, so maybe there is method to the madness.
That being said, though, I don't personally own a bracelet, and I don't intend to.

Some people will believe anything, any results you see a purely psychological. Put a rock in your pocket and convince yourself it will give you energy, you'll get the same result. This is just one more sham to dupe people out of their money and of course many gullible people fall for it. Go ahead and make this thieves rich, they'll always be praying on someones ignorance.

Read the facts.......

The Australian manufacturer of Power Balance, the wildly popular rubbery bracelets embedded with holograms claimed to somehow adjust the body’s energy or vibrations, has admitted that there is no proof their product works.

A representative of Power Balance Australia issued a statement that read in part, “We admit that there is no credible scientific evidence that supports our claims. Therefore we engaged in misleading conduct.”

Power Balance bracelets achieved global popularity, in part because they were embraced by a parade of celebrities. Dozens of professional athletes, movie stars and musicians use them and have been photographed wearing the bands.

So what were A-listers like Robert DeNiro, Shaq, Kate Middleton, and P. Diddy getting out of them?

Australian researcher Richard Saunders told Discovery News, “The claims are that these bands will improve your strength, your balance, and your flexibility. They also suggest it will improve your well-being, give you clarity of thought, improve your stamina and sports performance, that sort of thing.”

Saunders, co-host of the Skeptic Zone podcast, was asked by an Australian television show to test the bands on a representative from Power Balance. “I tested the head of the Australian branch, and he failed five times out of five tests. So it was pretty conclusive. These were blind and double-blind tests where he had to tell which one out of six volunteers had the band on. He was pretty shocked when they failed to work.”

Hi i live in ireland where can i get a powerband?

Most awesome thing I've ever bought in my whole life. I totally feel the difference in my work outs.

personally i couldnt care whether its physics or 'mind over matter' that has made the band work for me. the point is that is has made an impact on me in many different areas which i have tested over and over. im not going to go into each of those things as that really isnt the point. the point is if something helps you in physical and mental ways then is paying a few $$$ for that luxury so bad?? at the end of the day, no one has asked the skeptics to buy one. if you dont believe in them and dont want to spend $$$ on one, then dont!!! simple

Was wondering if anybody knew if these are safe for pregnant woman???

i am living in Guyana thats located in South America how can i get to buy one of these band?

These holographic (bracelet) products are crap. I tried it and it's simply a balance

I just got this band, sceptical if it works or not. I wore it last night to see if my sleep would inprove - no change. I am just getting over a cold, but wasn't prepared for this- a total negative reaction to this band. my sinuses started draining like they never have, slight headache, and total fatigue. It is doing something- it is detoxifying my body TOO fast. I haven't worn it for 8 hours now, and starting to get some energy back. I am now convinced that everyone will have one of 3 responses- nothing for those who bodies are balanced in their enery. Inprovement for those that are not. And a negative reaction for those who bodies are too toxic, like myself right now.

I just took this off my wrist because I get Vertigo so bad I almost fell. I used to be in good shape but recently let myself. Moving outta state and family passing etc.. You are so right though. I had to read the comments until I finally came to yours. My body is so full of toxins I need to wait.keep it, and try again once I am in better shape. It was really freaky. I am going to be 59 this year and consider myself to be overweight but healthy otherwise. No sugar or any other issues. I am on a mission to get the weight off since I just retired and want to take advantage of the 401K I worked hard for. I will try again. Negative as the effect was I agree that it was like what you experienced.FYI....check out Rhonda Bryne's Law of Attrection book. I tried the examples she suggests and they work. Just you mind and thoughts nothing else. I needed 50 Bucks cash for an item I wanted and for the hell of it I asked for it to show up in a few days and it did. A fifty dollar bill was inside of a formal evening handbag I purchased at Goodwill a week later. When I saw it I know and remembered and felt this Twilight Zone feeling and was convinced. I am working on the Lottery next....................Dr. Mel N Collie

has anyone else had this detoxifing effect ?

This product is a scam. They recently lost class action lawsuits in Australia and California because they have absolutely no basis for their claims. The company even admitted it's a scam.

Don't waste your money, you'll get the exact same benefit from an elastic band.

Wow your going to go off of what one person says??!! What about all the Testimonials? The placebo effect is real?? Is it not? Guess what though, I am not always looking at my PB bracelets saying ok fix me make me perform better! haha I am sorry but your negativity is worthless and you are entitled to you opinion and so am I but obviously you haven't truly worn or done the tests yourself.....ahhh too bad just go off of what others are saying. IF you did the test you would know it works, and if the person showing you doesn't have a clue what they are doing then your experience would not be beneficial in your favor!
I have countless testimonials that prove they work! So ok be on the side that chooses they don't work....your loss and wow what a side to be on! Congrats! :)

Personnally, I think this is a load of bull. Maybe they have the right idea, but something that small? I don't think so. To me, it seems more like a fashion accessory that uses the power of the human mind to make the wearer better. I could change my mind of course, if I were to find that the makers did a test with the band and a placebo, where the band worked better than the placebo.

Have you actually done the tests? All 3? Balance, Flexibility, and strength Properly? I have one without the mylar holograms in it and I use that as my placebo effect one! I tell people to tell them its all you and they still don't stay up with it, then I give them the real bracelet and they stay up on the balance test! Its how I solidify my sale! Works every time!

its a scam

I'm 10 and my mom doesn't know if I should have one. She doesn't know if they are made for kid's bodies that are still developing. I can't find any websites that give this info. Should I get one?

Yes! you should get one! I sell them at the Utah Flash D League games and kids are always getting them! It has no negative effect on kids! It does help improve concentration and focus! If you get one you will love it and never regret it! I sell them for only 15 bucks! I can send you link if you are interested! they are the real authentic ones! I get them wholesale so I pass the savings on to my loyal customers! :)

Has anybody experienced negative effects of this bracelet? I don't know if it is just coincidence. I wore my bracelet on my left wrist for three weeks and noticed my left shoulder (which was totally fine before) becoming increasingly painful. I decided to change wrists and put it on my right side. Two days after the switch, my other shoulder started hurting. Just wondering if this happened to anybody else? I do believe in the power of the bracelet but think that perhaps it may not be the same for everybody.

Does any one know what effect, if any, does the braclet have on blood pressure?

I sell them in the USA, this one lady bought one from me and it lowered her normally high blood pressure! She is doing fantastic now! She is a smoker and elderly too!
I have been doing this for over 7 months now and I constantly have people coming up to me and thanking me for presenting them to Power Balance! It has helped people that suffer from headaches, migraines, severe back problems(blown out back discs), one lady has fibromyalgia and arthritis she was one 22 pain killers a day and now she is down to 2!
I have many constant testimonials comment me back and I would love to share!

its a hoax

i don't care if its effects are placebo and its all trick of my mine. even if energy balance is a lie that my mind believes, it works for me, i feel better and stronger.

Isn't this just a placebo? (placboe? lol dont know how to spell it XD haha) i mean, all it is. is a silly braclet that is overpriced... by like, 29$

It is me b-day on Tuesday n a didn't ask my mum or dad for one and they already have my present so I am going to buy one when I get the chance as I think these might work can anyOne tell me why I shouldn't buy it if it doesn't work?

Hey Kirst

I know plenty of people who wear them. One swears by it but his sanity is questionable, the rest swear( not favourably) at it. I was skeptical but willing to try anything as I developed a balance problem due to an ear condition that started a few months ago. Even phsychological would have done for me. After 3 weeks, no change to balance. After 3 weeks still get headaches for which I take the over the counter medication. Flexibility? Ha ha! Maybe the flexible part of me hasn't yet been discovered, but certainly nothing that I'm used to using on a daily basis. Had a cold which seems to be starting up again, so no change to immune system. Makes a cool looking trinket though. So they got my money - they won't be getting any more.

Hi this is Bev. How about the extreme version? it doesn't have a disc on both ends.

Either everyone commenting on here is retarded or the con artists selling this product are here spamming the comments.

A story of an idiotic fraudulent product proven to be a scam, not even required to be proven a scam if you have eyes an an IQ over 50 you could tell it's a scam.

And I wonder why I'm not rich.

in my experience, anyone claiming to be rich on a website blog really isn't.

if you are, you'd certainly have something better to do with your time.

if you don't like the bracelet, return & get a hobby!

David, you might want to reread what you just responded to.

i honestly believe that it works. i got mines few weeks ago and i usually doze off at work. with the wrist band on, my head seems to stay in place when i rest it on my hand. it also helps me with my balance. but then again, it could all just be in my head.. either way, i like it. ive notice improvement in my baLance.

really a waste of money, absoloutly

From all the articles I have read, the most criticism being said about the product is that its not so much to do with the magnet, but moreso results are caused by the "power of the mind". Mind power IS the strongest most effective power within a human, so to me, if you believe the braclet works, and in turn, the positive thinking gets you results - is it not worth the cost of the bracelet if that what focus' your mind? Put it this way, many people believe that wearing a cross yeilds them with protection & streangth.....same thing, is it not? faith & belief can do wonders!

Yep, and the Catholic church has the unmatched land-wealth to prove it!

To everyone who thinks this product is a matter of belief, and that makes it ok; yes, some people are able to recover from serious illness while on drug trials even though it turns out they were in the placebo group. Of course, that's a wonderful thing. However, if you found out that you had recovered from cancer because you had been prescribed a sugar pill, yet you (or your insurance) had been charged tens of thousands of dollars for actual chemotherapy, wouldn't that be wrong? Wouldn't you be upset that a huge pharmaceutical company was commiting fraud with a product that at best did nothing but stimulate a psychosomatic response in a few people?

I call these "Dumbo feathers" (ref: Disney film). If no one is getting rich off the lie, and you're not going poor, it's certainly not the worst thing in the world, but I believe in being strong enough to face the truth. If you lose your feather, will you realize it was you who was flying, all on your own, all along?

These defenently work they improved my skills by alot. Love them

I THINK IT IS AMAZING TO KNOW THE GOOD EFFEC TS OF WRIST BAND FOR A FEW DOLLARS.WHAT IS THE EFFECT OF THE WRIST BAND OR MAGNETIC BED IN THE CASE OF A PATIENT WHO HAD PARKINSONS DISEASE.IS IT GOOD OR BAD

can you go swimming with it on?

I just bought an xtreme - energy bracelet for my mother and tried it on. Immediately I felt a change in my patience , balance and social conversing skills . Before I bought this I always seemed to be off balance when i walk ,and my social skills were so awkwardly bad , haha. After I bought this product i felt a better vibe , my walking was improved , and most of all i could actually hold a conversation with someone i didnt know, without any issues . Im sure there are people who dont believe but im my opionion if you are willing to accept positive thoughts and actions (and stop being a judgemental dueshbag like some people in these comments) then this product will work for you . i am a believer

im a big skeptic myself.. and for all you haters out there with this horseshit mind over matter crap and placebo dung! well i have one thing to say to yas.. TRY IT YOURSELF!! i think the placebo works both ways dont it?? if you believe it works it will.. if you belive it wont... well it wont!! your just all uptight bastards who dont know the meaning of life and fun! ... anyway my point of view on it.. being a skeptic i tryed it one day.. i did the tests.. and my mind was not saying anything to me at the time i was foucused on what the man was telling me... i did the tests and i noticed a big improvment in my balance the most.. i didnt even read up on the item.. didnt even ask any questions about it.. i just did the test.. and it worked! as far as this placebo bull .. trust me people i wasnt telling myself anything i was just going with the flow.. and this does work.. how i dont know.. and personally dont care.. but it does work.. yes ill agree it affects people differently.. for me my balance was increased the most.. followed by strength.. they were selling many of them.. i picked a complete random one and asked him to do it with that one .. same affect.. thease things acaully work... only thing is they wont have the same affects on everybody.. but either way they work!! ... and if your not happy with it.. take the damm thing back within 30 days and get your money back!!! thats a good point for all you mind over matter people!! use your MIND! and take it back if it does * all for you lol.. fools

any of you guys know how the bands are supposed to fit? Loose, real tight?

This product helps my balance and makes me a bit stronger , im a believer

I wast old not to get my power balance bracelet wet. But there is nothing in the instructions about that. Does anyone know if you can wear the bracelet in the water?

does the Power Bracelet really work???im doing a school project on it . i bought one for R5(about $1) and don't feel different . is there something lik fake powerbands???
Monique

probably is. i dont think stores could even receive it from the ACTUAL company for that cheap.

does it help nausea?

I sell this exact brand at my store for $5 in Oklahoma, USA. I just put one on and am testing it out!

first of all, everything works differently for everyone. first day of wearing mine and for me, i have a headache, i dont know for sure if its from it. second, i'm pretty sure its not something mentally. i do some dance and i gotta say, balance wise i did so much better today. & i've tried so hard for this one move that requires a lot of balance and coordination and i've practiced everyday and still didn't manage to get the move until today, like perfectly as if i've done it a million times. kinda strange... but i think it's the band.

for everyone whos complaining, i dont think buying it from random stores "cheaper" would give you the same results as buying the actual one. theres other companies out there with the "band" and some are rip offs. actually buy it online from the store or like a popular sports store. somewhere that isn't allowed to sell fakes. i think thats the biggest thing that it doesnt work for some people.

is really good .

I take my bracelet off before getting ready for bed. There were a couple of times that I forgot to put it back on. The nights without the bracelet were restless and I didn't sleep well at all. In the morning, when I realized I forgot my bracelet was when I realized that it does really work!!

i bought one doestn really seem to do much unless you believe it does something but either way its still a fashion statement, so go and get one

It's called ideomotor effect. I've had many evidenced base practice classes on my road to being a chiro.. And this is just like any other gimmic. The arm test is flawed by angle the tester pushes and both parties expected outcome. They should sell these at churches because the type that will buy these will also buy the BS about god.. And easil part with their money in an offering plate or for a rubbe band. Get some friends, some self esteem, a workout partner and stick to a workout routine. Look up stretches and balance/proprioception exercises.. Go buy a watch or pretty bracelet If you want to feel good about yourself and pretend it does the same thing. But don't give the makers of this any money. You will just look like an idiot. There is a lot of research about the ideomotor effect and this fits it to a T. "some new and powerful form of energy that has just now been discovered and will change man kind for the better, its so far advanced that coming science logic can not contain it.. And it sells For only $$$$"

hey guys do you beleave a tiny thing can work i got original power balance braclet but how it will work i realy dont know so lets see if it is work i will let you know

Hi I bought one and I don't think it works I think it makes . Me more tired and to me it just like the cheap wristband that are one dollar at the store and sorry but that's the truth

i bought today will see in 2 weeks

This has to be a joke, a bracelet will not increase your balance and will not increase your strength.

Is it best to wear the bands tight or a little loose??

not too sure if it really works i have been wearing mine for over a month and cant tell a difference so i took it off last night because i was informed it was a hoax and the company is being sued. if anyone can tell why i should believe it work please respond back Thanks

the power balance is worth it. it actually works

lots of answers and thoughts on this product but none related to them being safe if you are on medication for hypertension does anyone know

It could all be in my mind but I love the bracelet and necklace I own. I wouldn't sell my bracelet for any amount of money. My energy level has risen immensely. It worked for me. Maybe it will work for you!

Good to know about such Bracelet, for which many admirers and many odds. However, if the manufacturer can give some technical info. in terms of physics science, it will help more and more people to understand and take advantage.

My husband and I purchased these braclet about 6 months ago and mine, the centre dot is wearing out, and I would like to find out how to get in touch with the company and get it replaced.
