About this product
What is NeoLife Botanical Balance?
Botanical Balance is a vegan botanical-and-mineral supplement built around chromium, paired with extracts of cinnamon, curcumin, turmeric and alpha-lipoic acid. It is 120 tablets, taken four a day, so a bottle is a one-month supply.
It is one of the more expensive products in the NeoLife range, and it is worth being clear up front about what can and cannot be said for it — which we do below. The single nutrient here that carries authorised health claims is the chromium; the botanicals are included for their traditional use, not for any approved effect.
What is in each daily serving
From the UK nutrition information on the pack. These amounts are per four tablets — the recommended daily intake, taken as two tablets twice a day before your two largest meals.
| Per 4 tablets | Amount | %NRV |
|---|---|---|
| Chromium | 40 µg1 | 100% |
| Cinnamon extract (Cinnamomum cassia) | 1000 mg1 | – |
| Curcumin extract (Curcuma longa) | 200 mg1 | – |
| Turmeric extract (Curcuma longa) | 200 mg1 | – |
| Alpha-lipoic acid | 50 mg1 | – |
Only chromium has a Nutrient Reference Value, so it is the only ingredient that can show a %NRV — here 100%. The chromium is supplied as chromium(III) chloride together with dried yeast. The botanical extracts and alpha-lipoic acid have no NRV, which is why no percentage is shown against them.1
Why chromium matters
Chromium is the one ingredient with authorised GB health claims, and at 100% of the reference intake per serving it comfortably meets the threshold for them. In their permitted wording:
- Chromium contributes to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels.
- Chromium contributes to normal macronutrient metabolism — that is, the normal metabolism of carbohydrate, fat and protein.
The beneficial effect is obtained with the reference intake of chromium, which this serving provides in full. Nothing here is intended to diagnose, prevent, treat or cure any condition, and a food supplement is not a substitute for a varied and balanced diet or a healthy lifestyle.
What we do not claim
We want to be straight about this. Cinnamon, curcumin, turmeric and alpha-lipoic acid do not carry any authorised health claims in Great Britain. So we make none for them. The only approved effects on this product are the two chromium claims above.
How to take it
Four tablets a day: two tablets twice daily, taken before your two largest meals, with water. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Store somewhere cool and dry, out of reach of children.
120 tablets at four a day is a one-month supply.
Suitability and allergens
NeoLife lists Botanical Balance as vegan. No allergens are declared on the UK ingredient list, and there are no artificial colours, flavours or sweeteners. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking prescribed medication — particularly medication that affects blood sugar — or under medical care, speak to your GP or pharmacist before starting any new supplement.

What to compare when buying a chromium or botanical supplement
| What to check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Which ingredient carries the claim | On this product it is the chromium, at 100% NRV, that carries the authorised blood-glucose and macronutrient-metabolism claims. The botanicals do not carry approved claims — be wary of any product that implies they do.1 |
| Chromium amount and %NRV1 | Compare the chromium figure and its %NRV — here 40 µg and 100% per serving — rather than the weight of the botanical extracts.1 |
| Serving size and timing | This is four tablets a day, split before the two largest meals — not a single tablet. Factor that into the cost and the routine. |
| Cost per day and per month | 120 tablets is a one-month supply at four a day. Work out the monthly cost before comparing — this is a premium-priced product. |
| Vegan and allergen status | Botanical Balance is listed as vegan with no declared allergens; check the equivalent on any product you compare it with. |

Common questions
Including the one most people are too polite to ask.
What is NeoLife Botanical Balance?
A vegan supplement built around chromium, paired with extracts of cinnamon, curcumin, turmeric and alpha-lipoic acid. 120 tablets, four a day, product code 800.
What is in each daily serving?
Per four tablets: chromium 40 µg (100% NRV), cinnamon extract 1000 mg, curcumin extract 200 mg, turmeric extract 200 mg and alpha-lipoic acid 50 mg. Only chromium has a Nutrient Reference Value, so it is the only ingredient shown with a %NRV.
What are the authorised health claims?
Chromium contributes to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels and to normal macronutrient metabolism (the normal metabolism of carbohydrate, fat and protein). At 100% NRV the serving meets the threshold for both. These are the only approved claims on the product.
Can you make claims for the cinnamon, turmeric or curcumin?
No. Cinnamon, curcumin, turmeric and alpha-lipoic acid carry no authorised health claims in Great Britain, so we make none for them. The only approved effects on this product are the two chromium claims above.
How do I take Botanical Balance?
Four tablets a day: two tablets twice daily, taken before your two largest meals, with water. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. 120 tablets is a one-month supply.
Is Botanical Balance vegan?
Yes — NeoLife lists Botanical Balance as vegan, with no declared allergens and no artificial colours, flavours or sweeteners. The chromium is supplied as chromium(III) chloride with dried yeast.
Why does this cost more than a supermarket version?
Because it is a different product sold a different way, and because we are not trying to be the cheapest. NeoLife products reach you through independent distributors rather than a supermarket shelf, which is a more expensive route. What we will not tell you is that a cheaper alternative does nothing. We could not prove that, so we do not say it. If price is the deciding factor, buy the cheaper one — that is a perfectly sensible thing to do. For what it is worth, this pack (120 tablets) works out at £0.54 each.
How much is delivery, and where do you ship?
UK delivery is a flat £10.00, and it is free — with a free NeoLife Shaker — on orders over £150. We ship within the United Kingdom only. Orders are dispatched from the UK by DPD and usually arrive in about three working days; if anything is delayed we will email you rather than leave you wondering.
What if I change my mind?
You have 14 days from delivery to tell us you want to cancel, for any reason, and a further 14 days to send the item back. Sealed items such as food supplements and cosmetics can only be returned for a change of mind if the seal is unbroken. Email us first and we will tell you where to send it; we refund within 14 days of receiving it back. If something arrived faulty, damaged or wrong, that is on us — we will replace or refund it, including the postage.
Is this genuine NeoLife stock?
Yes. We are an independent NeoLife distributor and everything on this site comes through NeoLife’s own supply chain — not a marketplace reseller, and not parallel imports.
Will this work for me?
We genuinely cannot tell you that, and we are not going to pretend otherwise. Food supplements are not medicines and nothing on this site is medical advice. They are also not a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. If you take prescribed medication, or something about your health is worrying you, speak to your GP or pharmacist before adding anything new.

Sources 1 Amounts per serving are taken from the product’s UK label (NeoLife). %NRV figures use the Nutrient Reference Values in Annex XIII of Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011, as it applies in Great Britain. Nutrition and health claim wording and conditions of use (for example 250 mg EPA and DHA a day) follow the Great Britain nutrition and health claims register.
