Nearly
every adult is concerned with maintaining good heart health.
According to the American Heart Association, Cardio Vascular Disease
(CVD) is the leading cause of death, and one in three adults will die
from CVD. Cholesterol reduction is considered a primary target to
reduce the risk for coronary heart disease.
A
wide
selection of pharmaceuticals are available to reach this goal, the most
popular being statins. There is a growing awareness of possible
negative side effects of pharmaceuticals, and of statins in particular.
Therefore, the public is shifting towards more natural approaches to
reduce cholesterol.
Bios
Life is the only fiber
and nutrient drink that combines all four of the known natural
approaches to lowering harmful cholesterol. This patented approach:
1.
Helps block re-absorption of cholesterol in the intestinal
tract
2. Helps block absorption of cholesterol which comes directly
from food after digestion
3. Reduces the cholesterol produced by the liver
4. Enhances enzymatic breakdown and removal of LDL (bad) cholesterol
In
a recent study, Bios Life was proven to lower LDL
cholesterol for participants with high LDL levels by 31%. Overall
reductions, including participants with fair or better LDL levels
averaged over 20%. Additionally, the average increase of HDL or
“good”
cholesterol in those participants with low HDL levels was 29%. Average
increase, including those with normal HDL levels, was 25%.
FEATURES
AND BENEFITS
Clinically
proven to lower LDL cholesterol, while increasing HDL cholesterol, Bios
Life is quickly becoming the standard in the fight against
harmful cholesterol levels.
Often,
over a period of time, people
taking statins discover that their cholesterol remains at a level
higher than they (and their doctors) were hoping to reach. Hope is now
available. Recent clinical studies have shown that when taking statins
in combination with Bios Life, the “statin
floor” is broken
and cholesterol levels are reduced by an additional 20%. Talk to your
doctor about Bios Life before use if you are taking any
cholesterol-lowering medication.
Features
and benefits of Bios Life:
• Proven to reduce LDL cholesterol levels
• Proven to increase HDL cholesterol levels
• Helps manage appetite naturally
| Foods
containing at least .65 grams
per day of plant sterol esters, eaten twice a day with meals for a
total daily intake of 1.3 grams may reduce the risk of heart disease.
One serving of Bios Life contains 0.67 grams of
plant sterols. |
RESEARCH BRIEF
Cholesterol
is a waxy substance found in the bloodstream and in all your
body’s
cells. It’s normal to have cholesterol, and cholesterol is an
important
part of a healthy body because it’s used to build new cells,
insulate
nerves, and produce hormones.
One
type of cholesterol is
low-density lipoprotein or LDL. High levels of LDL (bad cholesterol)
increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. The American Heart
Association states that when too much LDL cholesterol circulates in the
blood, it can slowly build up in the inner walls of the arteries that
feed the heart and brain. LDL cholesterol can form plaque, a thick,
hard deposit that can clog those arteries.
The
other type of cholesterol is high-density lipoprotein or HDL. Your
body makes HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol) for your protection.
Studies show that high levels of HDL cholesterol reduce your risk of
cardiovascular disease.
Bios
Life works effectively to decrease the level of LDL
cholesterol while increasing the level of HDL cholesterol through its
patented, natural formula. Listed below are the active ingredients
responsible for Bios Life’s effectiveness:
Soluble
and Insoluble Fibers
Fibers,
in particular of the soluble kind, are well known to reduce
LDL-c. [1-16] The American Heart Association therefore advises to
include 25 –30 grams of fiber daily in the diet. The
mechanism of
cholesterol reduction by fiber is through bile-acid sequestration.
Typically, fiber is mixed with water, and consumed just before a meal.
The gel matrix formed in the digestive tract absorbs bile acids, so
that cholesterol re-absorption in the blood is inhibited. The
cholesterol reducing effect of fibers has been documented extensively
in the literature. The sponsor of this study, Unicity International,
has marketed a patented fiber drink (BiosLife 2) that works through
bile-acid sequestration.
Policosanol
This
sugar cane extract is a poly-alcohol that has been shown to
support healthy cholesterol levels through inhibition of HMG CoA
reductase. [17-24]
Phytosterols
These
phytonutrients have similar structures to cholesterol and
therefore competitively inhibit the absorption of cholesterol from the
diet. Studies have focused on pure phytosterol administration and mixed
in margarines. Typical reductions in LDL-c are 5 to 15% over 4 week
periods. [25-40]
Chrysanthemum
morifolium
This
flower extract has been linked by internal research to enhancement
of cholesterol metabolism. The plant has been used for
centuries in
the Chinese culture as a tea.

FAQs
Q:
How do I know if I have high cholesterol?
A:
Your cholesterol levels are measured by a simple blood test. A small
sample of your blood is analyzed to determine the total cholesterol
level, the level of LDL cholesterol, the level of HDL cholesterol, the
level of triglycerides, and the ratio of total cholesterol to HDL
cholesterol. Even if you don’t currently have a problem with
cholesterol, Bios Life may help to prevent future
problems.
Q:
How much Fiber is in Bios Life?
A:
The product combines 2.7 grams of soluble fiber with 0.3 grams of
insoluble fiber. The product further contains vitamins and minerals,
such as chromium. Upon consumption of three packets a day, the fiber
amount fills the gap between actual dietary consumption of fiber and
the advice of the American Heart Association.
Q:
I noticed that Bios Life is sweetened with Sucralose. What is
Sucralose and is it safe?
A:
Sucralose, a low-calorie sweetener, is the sweetening ingredient used
worldwide in more than 4,000 food, beverage and nutritional products.
The safety of sucralose has been confirmed by leading medical,
scientific, and regulatory authorities around the world including; the
US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Joint (Food and Agriculture
Organization/World Health Organization) Expert Committee on Food
Additives, European Commission’s Scientific Committee on
Food, Health
Canada, and Food Standards Australia/New Zealand. For more information
about Sucralose visit, www.sucralose.org.
Q:
Many pharmeuctial drugs produce potenially dangerous side effects. Are
there any adverse side effects associated with Bios Life?
A:
Bios Life 2 and Bios Life have been clinically tested
on
numerous occasions. No adverse side effects were ever reported or
measured in test participants.
