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 Complete 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 to block re-absorption of cholesterol in the intestinal tract 2. Helps to 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 Complete 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 Complete 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 Complete, the statin floor is broken and cholesterol levels are reduced by an additional 20%. Talk to your doctor about Bios Life Complete before use if you are taking any cholesterol-lowering medication.

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 Complete 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 Complete 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 Complete's effectiveness:

Ingredients

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.[41] The plant has been used for centuries in the Chinese culture as a tea.

Profile

RESEARCH BRIEF

Fiber encompasses an array of substances indigestible by the human intestine, whereas proteins, fats and carbohydrates are almost entirely absorbed in the small intestine. Dietary fiber consists of insoluble and soluble components.

Insoluble fiber is found in fruits and vegetables. It produces the tough, chewy texture of foods like wheat kernels, nuts and popcorn and is found mainly in the cell walls in the form of strands that give support to plant tissue.

Soluble fibers are found in grains and legumes and give the mushy texture to certain cereals. Soluble fibers can draw water to themselves (hydrophilic) and form jelly-like masses that act partially as solids and are readily fermented by intestinal bacteria. This mass forms in the stomach to give you a full feeling, thus reducing your appetite and helping you eat less. Soluble fibers help reduce bowel transit time and have a lubricating effect on the intestine.

Soluble fibers are also known to help control and maintain normal cholesterol levels in two ways: First, they prevent the reabsorption of bile acids from the small intestine. To replace the lost bile acids, cholesterol is drawn from the body, thereby reducing its cholesterol supply. Second, the fermentation process in the intestine produces short-chain fatty acids that block the synthesis of cholesterol.

FAQs

Q. What kind of chromium is in Bios Life 2? A. ChromeMate, a patented, highly bioavailable form of niacin-bound chromium (chromium polynicotinate), is found in Bios Life 2. Chromium is an essential trace mineral required for normal protein, fat and carbohydrate metabolism. ChromeMate contains less than 2 milligrams of niacin and will not cause skin flushing or other side effects associated with high levels of niacin.

Q. We've been hearing a great deal about the benefits of barley fiber, an ingredient in Bios Life 2, and the beta glucans it contains. What are beta glucans and what are their benefits?

A. Beta glucans are the soluble dietary fiber component of barley and oat bran. They have received much attention from the media due to scientific reports identifying them as the agent in barley and oat bran that is capable of reducing serum cholesterol and stimulating the immune system.

Q. Will I experience any side effects with the introduction of Bios Life 2 into my diet?

A. The addition of fiber supplementation to a diet currently low in fiber may cause temporary diarrhea or constipation. If diarrhea occurs, cut back on the amount of Bios Life 2 you are currently taking and reintroduce it gradually into your diet using one-half packet or 1.5 teaspoons per serving. Because fiber draws water to it (hydrophilic), constipation may occur. If this occurs, increase your water consumption and cut back on your amount of Bios Life 2. Then, reintroduce it gradually into your diet. Fiber needs water to work and a normal diet should contain eight or more glasses of water a day.

Special Note: It is recommended that any medications be taken at least one hour before or four hours after consuming Bios Life 2 to avoid impeding absorption. Taking this product without adequate fluids can result in complications.
