Born in concept from ancient health and wellness practices and wrapped in a modern holographic form, Power Balance™ stands out among its many imitators as “The Original” sports performance wristband. No other Performance Technology accessory on the market can match the roster of hundreds of top professional athletes (and growing!) and millions of satisfied customers all over the world.

How is that frequency measured, and what is the optimal level?

Even by random chance with no placebo, if you sell 1000 bracelets, by chance some will feel better after wearing it, some will feel worse, and some won't feel anything. Hence the large pool of people willing to give a positive review.
