Lower Cholesterol, Improve Blood Sugar Levels, and Lose Weight While You Eat |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
How taking Bios Life anytime you’re hungry—and especially with meals—helps improve your health. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||
Why Does it do That? The five soluble fibers in the Biosphere Fiber matrix were carefully researched and chosen for their ability to create the most effective fiber combination possible in the stomach and digestive system—much more effective when blended together than if they were used individually.
How Does it Work? After absorbing the bile acids, the compounds are removed from circulation and don’t make it back to the liver. As a result, the liver must use up additional cholesterol to manufacture new bile acids. Bile acids are necessary for normal digestion of fat. Biosphere Fiber may also reduce the amount of cholesterol manufactured by the liver. Part Two Watch What Happens… |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
What Else Was in that Glass? Upon contact with the acidic environment of the stomach, the calcium carbonate starts to release carbon dioxide. This bubbling disperses the fiber matrix quickly through the gastric fluid. As a result, the Biosphere Fiber matrix is formed quickly and efficiently. This aspect of Bios Life is patented. Consequently, no other fiber products can combine soluble fiber with mineral carbonates.
But Wait, There’s More… In addition, Bios Life contains vitamins B-6 and B-12. This vitamin B complex is known to boost the immune system and to aid in the breakdown of fat.

The tools in the new Bios Life Tools-Based Business Development Systems are almost all in place. Most steps in the system consist of sharing a full-color booklet and audio CD with your prospect. One of the ways to share the booklet and CD is to mail it—perhaps along with a note and your business card— Suzanne Heninger, Unicity National Sales Director, recently made a trip to the Post Office to see what the cost of mailing one of these tools would cost. “I took a 6.5” x 9.5” envelope, The Bios Life Corporate Profile, the audio CD, my business card, and a note card. Altogether it weighed 2.9 ounces and postage ran only 75 cents!” reports Suzanne. “It was that inexpensive because a 6.5” x 9.5” envelope still falls within the letter price range. It’s too small to be considered under “envelop” pricing” (this is where we get into the $1.14 postage). So I encourage Franchise Owners to use 6.5” x 9.5” envelopes to mail the booklets and CD postage will only run 75 cents.” |

Unicity and Bios Life Represented at the 2007 Summerfest in Orem, Utah |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
More than 1,300 samples of Bios Life were shared with festival attendees and hundreds of brochures were handed out. Ann Schreck, Unicity Global Marketing Manager, said, “The goal of the booth was to raise awareness about cholesterol and invite the community to learn about Bios Life, the alternative solution to protecting themselves against heart disease and cardiovascular disease.”
Victoria Aliatis, Sales Support Manager, Latino Market, said, “It was a very successful and joyful experience to receive calls from the Latino people and to have them showing interest in knowing more about Unicity and Bios Life. Personally, I think we should be involved more inthese community events, because we want to get the word out about Bios Life, Unicity, and what we have to offer.”
“As the day went on we couldn’t get that family out of our minds. We were so inspired that we eventually tracked them down and Unicity donated a complimentary box of Bios Life for the little boy to try and Unicity will follow up on his progress. We’ve always been a company that is dedicated to ‘Make Life Better’ and we intend to always serve our community in doing so.” |

Profile of Success— |

When introduced to the Bios Life Franchise opportunity, she immediately saw the potential of being able to create an income that would change her financial circumstances. “I built the business from the trunk of my car,” Burma says. A Passion for the Profits “I want people to know that they can build a better life by owning their own Franchise—you just need energy and a willingness to work. It actually doesn’t take a lot of effort to make two contacts a day. Anyone who has the will to build a business can manage that. “People work for $6 or $7 an hour. They can work all day to make the same money you would make selling two boxes of Bios Life. You can work for eight hours and make $56 or you can sell two boxes of Bios Life and make the same! Heck, you can easily work on your Franchise part-time and double your money and eventually be able to quit that old job.” A Passion for the Products Referring to the recent death of a beloved local high school football coach at the age of 46, Burma says, “If people don’t think what we do is important, I think they’re wrong. This man didn’t need to die. We have the products that could have prevented that.” |

You’ve seen him on stage at several Conventions of the Americas and Regional Bios Life Conferences. He gives a weekly Product Training Call, and is busy coordinating clinical studies being conducted all over the world—and rumor has it that he has a book that will be published soon. On top of all that, Dr. Verdegem is constantly fielding nutritional science questions from customers and Franchise Owners. Here are the answers to several of the questions that were submitted to Dr. Verdegem at the Bios Life Conferences held earlier this year. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Chromium is very beneficial for diabetes. It is an essential mineral that serves as a sensitizer of insulin. It is the job of insulin to produce sugar levels. But if it does so in the presence of chromium, it is going to do it more effectively. So, the question suggests, that people think chromium is bad in the case of diabetes, because they ask about a chromium reaction. However, it will not create a reaction, it is just very good for people with diabetes because it is going to bring your sugar levels down even further, on top of the effect that Bios Life itself will generate. The question probably relates to the statement on the box of Bios Life, we warn that if you are diabetic please consult with your doctor because this product contains chromium. The statement on the box is there to make sure that your treating doctor knows about the fact that you are going to take chromium, because if you use insulin and you are carefully set up to use the exact amount of insulin needed and you then add chromium to your diet from Bios Life, you will increase the sugar lowering effect so you will need less medication, less insulin. This is a very positive thing. We just want to make sure that your doctor knows about it. So chromium is good for diabetics, there will not be a chromium reaction. |

Bios Life does not have an ORAC value, of course it does have one, but we have never measured it. ORAC is an experimental procedure that tells us how strong a product is in providing antioxidant protection. The higher the ORAC value, the bigger the antioxidant protection. Bios Life will have an ORAC value because there are some antioxidants in the product, think of the minerals, think of some vitamins, but the product, of course, is not an antioxidant product, so we have not seen the need to currently measure the ORAC value of the product. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||

||||||||||||||||||||||||
3. My HDL is so high that my total cholesterol number is 200. Can the HDL ever be too high? (I’ve been on Bios Life for years.)
HDL can never be too high. What HDL is doing in your body is cleaning out the arteries of existing plaque, functioning as a kind of vacuum cleaner, picking up the excess fat in your blood. Some people, Dr Jerry Bresnahan for example, calls it a crowbar by making sure that existing plaque in the body is actually being loosened up in the arterial walls so that it can be removed more effectively. So there is no maximum value for HDL, the higher, the better. And, in fact, due to your high HDL, the total cholesterol numbers being so high are not so much of a concern. It is much more beneficial to have a high HDL than it is dangerous to have high total cholesterol. So, high HDL values are perfect. |

Bios Life can be safely taken by a teen if they have diabetes. We want to make sure that they do not start with the maximum dose. So start slowly with one packet a day and keep careful control, carefully monitoring of the glucose values, because of the effects that Bios Life will reduce your overall glucose values at the time. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||
5. If someone is already on a pump for diabetes, can they safely use Bios Life? Yes they can, the same thing applies that the pump is carefully set to give the amount of insulin needed for the patient. With Bios Life the fiber and the chromium in the product are going to reduce the overall glucose values, so the pump will probably need to be adjusted and we would like you to discuss that with your doctor before you do so. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||
7. Does Bios Life lower LDL even if there is no change in diet? Yes it does. The studies that we have done with Bios Life, and there are currently over eight, have all shown that people taking Bios Life did not do anything about their diet. So they did not need to change their diet in order to see the success of Bios Life on LDL levels. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||
9. Will Bios Life absorb the good fats we eat? Bios Life does trap some of the fats from our food that is how it works. So if you are concerned, for example with omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil, which are very important fatty acids, you may want to separate the use of Bios Life and fatty acids over a time. What I would do is take Bios Life a few minutes before a meal and take fatty acids early on an empty stomach or before bedtime. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||
10. Why don’t we talk about lowering triglycerides and the importance of lowering it? We do talk about it. Triglycerides are a very important additional risk for cardio vascular disease and metabolic syndrome. This is a big problem for diabetics the triglyceride values are the values that respond the quickest to Bios Life intervention. Our studies show that, on average, 40% of triglycerides are being reduced when you take Bios Life in a period of eight weeks. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||
11. What makes Bios Life lower triglycerides? That’s a good question. First of all it lowers triglycerides because Bios Life traps fat in the digestive tract. Fat of course is the direct source of triglycerides, so that is a major effect. Also, Bios Life improves HDL; and HDL is known to pick up extra triglycerides in the blood stream and remove them from the body. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||
13. What if you forget to take Bios Life before you eat or do not have it with you. Can it help to have it later or just do not do it that time?
The best time to take Bios Life, in order to reach the maximum optimal effect, is about 10 minutes before your meal, before every meal. However, if you forget to take the product still take it at any other time during the day. Best time is before a meal, because fiber works best before the meal. The other ingredients being policosanols and phytosterols actually work throughout the whole day, so it doesn’t really matter for those ingredients when you take the product. Therefore, should you forget to take the product before your meal, go ahead and take it at anytime during the day; even after or during the meal, because it is always better than not taking it at all. |

A double blind study is a study that is considered to be the state of the art study today, for studying the effects of pharmaceuticals and also dietary supplements. The importance of the double blind, placebo controlled study is that there are two groups of people that take part in the study. One group gets the real product, the effective product. The other group gets the placebo, which is indistinguishable from the effective product, only it has no effective ingredients in it. The patients that take part in the study and the doctor that administers the products do not know which product has been given to whom. By doing so you can be absolutely sure that any effect observed during the study with the active group is going to be in effect due to the product, because all subjective effects that may also play a role would also be present in the placebo group. So that is the best study design to see a difference. An open panel study is another type of study in which everybody gets the effective product. We can then observe how strong the product is in a population based study. Sometimes it is better to do an open panel study than a double blind placebo controlled study because the ethical condition that you always have to go through before you do a clinical study does not seem as ethical if you give people with high cholesterol a placebo. Sometimes you are stuck with the fact that you have to do an open panel study. Also pharmaceuticals, like Lipitor, have done open panel studies because of the same reason. |

That’s an interesting question. Interestingly the Psycho Social Dex which basically describes emotions is an important risk factor for cardio vascular disease. I believe that the Inner Heart Study ranks it at a position 4. It is true that being depressed or having other type of psychological problems may actually interfere with your cardio vascular health. If you are depressed for a long time you are more likely to develop a myocardial farction. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||
17. Why are there no enzymes in Bios Life? Enzymes are a very good form of dietary supplementation if you want to improve your digestive health. It’s a great combination to take enzymes together with Bios Life; in fact we suggest that people who have a gas formation with Bios Life could actually combine it together with Enzygen Plus to reduce the gas problem that they may experience with Bios Life for the first few days. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||
18. Can people use their Health Savings Account to pay for Bios Life? That totally depends on your individual health savings account system. There have been examples known of people who use their HSA to do this, there are even insurance companies that have covered the use of Bios Life as a cholesterol management product, but it depends on the individual insurer so please check with your insurance coverage. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||
19. Explain the health benefits to a young, healthy man or woman, with high cholesterol levels (30 to 50 years old).
Bios Life is primarily a cholesterol optimizing product, however it has many more effects. First of all it improves your digestive health by cleaning out your intestinal tract by promoting the growth of friendly bacteria. It controls your sugar levels, which makes sure that your have better energy and that you don’t have insulin spikes throughout the day. It lowers the glycemic index of your food which is a great benefit if you are, for example, diabetic or if you want to lose weight. It also stimulates your immune system by promoting friendly bacteria; therefore you are going to have better immune health. So for that kind of person who has perfect cholesterol levels, Bios Life is going to have great health benefits for you. |

Now take a look at your glass of Bios Life. Tip the glass a little. See what’s happened? It’s thickened up, hasn’t it? It’s almost a little jelly-like. Don’t worry; it’s supposed to do that. In fact, if you drank that glass of Bios Life, that’s what it would be doing in your stomach. 
Bios Life turbo charges the Biosphere Fiber by including calcium carbonate in the ingredients in order to make the five-fiber matrix even more effective.
