I did some searching this morning on Google for the Nikken PowerBand bracelets and found a lot of sites and articles that looked like they were actually talking about the PowerBalance bands, not the PowerBand bracelets.

The PowerBalance bands are made by a different company and are a silicone band with some kind of hologram disks embedded in them that sit above and below the wrist. I don’t understand how they work and I’m not qualified to get into a discussion about whether they do actually work or not. I do know that some places have put restrictions on the company about their advertising because there apparently isn’t enough science to back their claims.

What matters to me is that, contrary to what some people seem to understand, there are no magnets in the PowerBalance bands.

The Nikken PowerBand bracelets on the other hand are magnetic sport bracelets, and there is plenty of science that shows that magnets affect the human body. Also, Nikken doesn’t officially claim that they do anything because the FDA and FTC don’t allow it. Still, medical science accepts the fact that magnetic fields can help the body heal and the use magnets to help broken bones heal.

PowerBand bracelets are made in two sizes, essentially a smaller size for women and a larger size for men though there is no other difference between other than size. They also come in two colors – black or yellow. Nikken put out a survey last December asking what other colors people would like but I haven’t heard anything about the results. Personally, I would like to see a dark green or maybe a dark purple. The lighter colors show more discoloration from wear which at least partially explains why the black is so popular.

Nikken recently launched two new sets of magnetic jewelry.

One of them is the new Classic Collection which includes a new stainless steel bracelet for men and a new stainless steel bracelet, necklace, and earrings for women. They look great and provide both magnetic and far-infrared benefits to the wearer. They are also a little bit pricey. You can find out more about them here.

Then there are the new PowerBands sports jewelry. There are two sizes of magnetic bracelets in either yellow or black and a magnetic necklace, also in either yellow or black. One of the complaints from women about the older sports bracelets were that they were too big and easily slipped off over their hand. In fact, I even met a few people who didn’t know that the opened. The “regular” sized PowerBand bracelet is perfect for them. The large bracelet is roughly the same size as the older magnetic sports bracelet and a good size for men’s wrists.

Nikken’s PowerBands aren’t just magnetic, they are TriPhase. If you are not familiar with what that means, let me fill you in. Nikken has 3 core technologies: magnetic, far-infrared, and negative ion. These three technologies are the three “phases” that are incorporated in the TriPhase items. The combination of these technologies makes these pieces very effective, and much more beneficial than the Classic Collection that I already mentioned. Plus they are a fraction of the price.

Another cool feature of the PowerBands is that they can be linked together to make longer ropes. For example, one of my Nikken friends has a large neck and the necklace fits like a choker. He adds one of the bracelets to the necklace so that it fits like a necklace should. Some people also link 2 or 3 necklaces together to make a belt to go around their waist. Finally, you can take two bracelets or necklaces and twist them together for added effect, both in appearance and magnetic benefit. This is what I have done and I really like it.

You can find out more about the PowerBands here, including a video about all of the new jewelry.

Here’s my standard disclaimer: I make no particular claims that these bracelets will provide any particular benefit for any particular condition. The FDA has not approved magnets for treating, curing, preventing, undoing, or obscuring any condition. If you need any of that then I strongly recommend that you see a qualified medical professional. I am also a Nikken distributor and the links in this post point to my magnetic jewelry page where I will make a little money if you buy anything. If you would also like to be able to make money by telling people about Nikken’s PowerBands, then please contact me here and I will tell you how to get started.
