DESCRIPTION
Bios Life® Slim™ is a fiber-based, vitamin-rich
nutritional supplement. Bios Life® Slim™ contains a blend of soluble
and insoluble fibers, Unicity® 7× technology, phytosterols, policosanol,
an extract of Chrysanthemum morifolium,
vitamins, and minerals that when combined with a healthy diet and
exercise may lower total serum cholesterol, reduce the risk of heart
disease and help achieve and maintain a healthy body weight.
Bios Life® Slim™ is light orange in color. It is a
hygroscopic crystalline powder that is generally soluble in water. Each
serving of Bios Life® Slim™ contains 4 g of fiber, 1 g of phytosterols,
750 mg of Unicity 7×, 6 mg of policosanol and 12.5 mg of an extract of
Chrysanthemum morifolium.
In addition to these active ingredients each serving of Bios Life®
Slim™ contains maltodextrin, citric acid, orange juice powder, sucralose
and orange flavor.
BENEFITS AND RESEARCH
It's estimated that Americans consume 10-12 g
of total fiber per day, less than half the amount of the recommended
daily intake. Epidemiological and clinical studies have correlated low
daily fiber intake with higher incidences of obesity, hyperinsulinemia,
hypercholesterolemia, and elevated risks of cardiovascular disease.
Bios Life® Slim™ is a nutritional supplement designed to
increase fiber intake. Each serving of Bios Life® Slim™ contains four
grams of fiber. When taken three times a day this achieves half of the
recommended daily value of fiber. Fiber supplementation has been shown
to decrease preprandial and postprandial glucose levels; lower LDL
cholesterol and apolipoprotein B levels; increase satiety and facilitate
weight loss.
In addition to fiber supplementation, Bios Life® Slim™ contains a patented blend of phytosterols, policosanol,
Chrysanthemum morifolium,
vitamins and minerals. Bios Life® Slim™ facilitates weight loss through
five distinct mechanisms.
- First, the soluble fiber matrix promotes an
increase in satiety.
- Second, Bios Life® Slim™ improves cholesterol
levels. Reduction in LDL content removes a potent inhibitor of
lipolysis.
- Third, Bios Life® Slim™ improves blood glucose levels.
Maintaining appropriate serum glucose levels reduces hyperinsulinemia
and promotes insulin sensitivity. Reducing insulin levels permits fatty
acid oxidation to occur.
- Fourth, Bios Life® Slim™ restores appropriate
leptin signaling.
- Lastly, Bios Life® Slim™, reduces triglyceride levels
allowing for leptin to cross the blood-brain barrier and effect its
mechanism of action. Research has shown that this product may serve as a
first line treatment option for mild hypercholesterolemia, as well as
adjunct therapy for lipid lowering pharmaceutical intervention.
SUGGESTED USAGE
Dissolve the contents of one packet or one
scoop into 8 to 10 fl. oz. of liquid (water or juice) and stir
vigorously. Drink immediately. Use 15-20 minutes before meals up to
three times daily.
SAFETY AND WARNINGS
Bios Life® Slim™ is well tolerated. There may
be mild gastrointestinal discomfort, such as increased flatulence or
loose stools, during the first month of initial use due to the increased
uptake of dietary fiber. This GI disturbance usually disappears within
the first thirty days. If the GI discomfort persists, reduce the number
of servings of Bios Life® Slim™. If the GI discomfort further persists,
stop taking the product and consult your physician. Taking this product
without adequate liquid can result in complications. If you are a
diabetic, consult a physician for proper use of this product, as the
chromium may reduce the need for medication.
HOW SUPPLIED
Bios Life® Slim™ is packaged in single-serving foil packets or in bulk canisters.
