Many athletes will try anything to get an edge, and the latest is a power balance bracelet.
Many pro athletes claim it gives them better balance...But do they really work?
If you've watched a sporting event in the last few months you've probably seen somebody wearing a Power Balance bracelet.
Some athletes say they won't play without them, but do they really help?
Power Balance says it will sell more than $35 million worth of bracelets this year.
The company originally marketed the bracelets to improve your balance, strength, and focus, but after some international scorn, the company backed off those claims.
Now the company says the bracelet is "Designed to resonate with and respond to the natural energy field of the body."
But health experts say if you are looking for a way to center your chi, look elsewhere...
"I know of no physiological reason why a bracelet around your wrist will improve, or change your ability to balance yourself," said Tim Saulsbury Physical Therapy Specialists.
But some folks in Sioux City felt it did help...
"It really helps with my balance," said one gym goer.
"That does help yea," said another.
The bracelet has a hologram made from a special material called mylar, but experts maintain no accessory on your arm will improve balance...
"Mylar is a polyethylene product that they use in like weather balloons and things like that. It's pretty fancy high–tech stuff, but that doesn't change that it's just a bracelet around your wrist," said Saulsbury.
The power balance bracelet wholesale costs $30, and pro athletes such as Kobe Bryant, Drew Brees, and LeBron James wear them.
Buying the bracelets for fashion reasons is one thing, but health experts insist they will not do anything to improve your balance.
Welcome for power balance wholesale.
