Is Life Force International's 'body balance' drink homeopathic nonsense?

Is there a decent discussion forum or website devoted to looking into this kind of stuff? I'm curious to know whether the 9 'sea vegetables' in this drink are in trace amounts, making it basically a bottle of aloe vera juice. company's website found with a simple google search, thanks!

1. First of all, homeopathy is the discipline that uses minute quantities of natural substances to produce a natural response in the body, or so the theory goes. That has nothing to do with Body Balance, which is in fact a fairly complete and very bio-available vitamin, mineral and nurient supplement. In addition to the major minerals that are important for optimum health, there are also vital trace minerals. Many of those can be obtained from the sea and trace amounts would be the right amount. For the money, Body Balance is a very good product with years of proven use. Personally, I prefer the much superior IntraMax, which contains over 450 nutrients, as well as Dr. Mercola's Whole Food Multivitamin Plus, both of which I selected to feature in the supplement section of my own website (if you want to see it, you'll have to check out my profile - I am not here to advertise or make money).
2. Ditto to Tony I's response. Respectfully, Dr. Kim
3. Ingredients... Aloe Vera Juice (Inner-Filet of Leaf), Honey, Natural Black Cherry, Sea Vegetation (Fucus Gardneri (an abundant brown seaweed), Ulva Lactuca (sea lettuce), Alaria Valida (brown algae), Nereocystis Luetkeana, Laminaria (a prolific kelp), Ulva Linza (slender sea lettuce), Gigartina (red marine algae), Costaria Costata (brown seaweed), Rhodymenia Pertusa (blue green algae). Other Ingredients: Citric Acid, less than 0.2% of Phosphoric Acid and Potassium Benzoate and Potassium Sorbate (to preserve Freshness), and Stevia Extract - sugar leaf, a sweetener(Leaf). No more info online than that. Probably a waste of money unless your doctor recommends you take supplements. Nutrition in our diet is more beneficial than vitamin pills potions and the rest. All the evidence is anecdotal, there is no 'decent discussion'. The only one saying it was expensive and useless was flogging an alternative! Looks like a lot of gathering and processing is involved and some of the seaweeds do have medicinal properties.
