Intramax from Drukerlabs. Is it good?
Question: from Sasha
Nice to hear from you. Thank you very much for your reply. There is only one product in the market I can recommend. The rest of the products in the market are no match to your products. The name of the product is Intramax. It contains 415 nutrients in organic liquid form. They are using a special technology. More information can be found at the following web page:
When more nutrients are added to tablets, one has to consume more tablets. But in liquid form, one ounce is enough for more nutrients. This is my opinion. What is your opinion? I hope Xtend Life comes out with a more sophisticated product than Intramax. Eagerly waiting for your reply. Thank you.

Actually our Total Balance is significantly more advanced than Intramax. However, on the surface of it with all their marketing material Intramax is very impressive, but much of it is misleading and many of the ingredients are ineffective because of the delivery system.
They do not actually have 415 ‘individual’ nutrients in the product in the true sense of the word and they are not all organic. They cannot be as some of them are only produced by bio-technology, such as most of the vitamins.
Many of the ‘nutrients’ are actually components of a single ingredient. For example, if you take any vegetable and do an analysis on it you will find it contains 100’s of nutrients but most of them are in such minute quantities it is misleading to show them all. If we did this with the nutrients we use we would also have 100’s of nutrients in a tablet of Total Balance.
I see that they have SAMe at 1,000mcg which is 1mg. This is absolutely useless in the formula and is there for marketing purposes only. Why? Well 1mg will do nothing (we have 100mgs in our Total Balance Premium and 50mgs in our standard version), and to make matters worse SAMe is rendered neutral unless it is protected by enteric coating and released in the upper intestine. The same principle applies to the enzymes! Quite apart from that enzymes lose their potency very quickly in a liquid environment.
Unfortunately the label is very hard to read on the website so I cannot comment in more detail. I also do not know the price. However, this is a good example of a liquid product which is made to sound like a fantastic supplement but when it comes to effectiveness it is only a shadow of Total Balance. It does not address the all important issues of aging and degeneration such as glycation and methylation.
The reality is that it is impossible to produce a comprehensive supplement in liquid form because there are so many limitations on what nutrients can be used effectively. Agreed you can put some in as a ‘show’ such as SAMe, but it is only fooling the customers and making the product look good but it is not providing the benefits that customers are entitled to.

"Quite apart from that enzymes lose their potency very quickly in a liquid environment." What do you mean? Why is this?
