Power balance bracelets - false claims admitted

Thanks to sportsscientists.com for drawing my attention to this - their finger is firmly on the pulse!


Regular readers will know my dislike for gimmicks and products that have no evidence or theory behind use. As Dr. Tucker & Dr. Dugas say on their blog, lets hope that the whistle can be blown on other such products and supplements around the world.

David - that power balance bracelet is SO 2009

If it seems to good to be true... it probably is folks... but then I am preaching to the choir here...

  1. Hey Howard,

    Enjoying your blog as always. I'm with you on this one. However, Power Balance UK is on a damage limitation mission and is sticking to its guns! http://tinypaste.com/77fb7

    Ah we will see for how long - once the reputation goes elsewhere internationally I am sure they will fall!
