Bios Life™ Study Produces a Decreased Risk for Cardiovascular Disease in African Americans
Georgia residents dramatically improve their lipid parameters using Bios Life

As a first line defense against heart disease, 85 members of the Zion Missionary Baptist Church in Roswell, Georgia participated in a three-month health project this spring to naturally optimize their cholesterol levels using Bios Life. The project was endorsed by Dr. William Cooper, Medical Director of Cardiovascular Services of Wellstar-Kennestone Hospital.

Each of the study participants added Bios Life to their diet, twice daily, for the 12-week duration of the health project. At the end of three months, participants that were at higher risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) successfully lowered their LDL (bad cholesterol) levels by an average of 19% and triglyceride levels by an average of 41%.

Participants further reduced their risk for heart disease by increasing their HDL (good cholesterol) levels by an average of 32%. Using risk calculations obtained from the Framingham Heart Study, participants in this study effectively decreased their 10 year risk of CVD by 36%.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), African Americans living in the southern region of the U.S. are at greatest risk for heart disease, the leading cause of death in the country.

The foremost risk factors for cardiovascular disease are high LDL (bad cholesterol) and triglyceride levels. The latest insights in lipid management, however, indicate that low HDL (good cholesterol) may be even more important in predicting CVD risk. The CDC Division of Heart Disease and Stroke prevention recommends controlling cholesterol as the most effective way to decrease risk for heart disease.

Conventional intervention focuses on lipid lowering medication, such as statins. These drugs are effective in lowering LDL, but have limited success for increasing HDL. Moreover, they have been linked to side-effects, such as liver and muscle problems. For many people, these side effects are a reason to look for safe clinically proven natural alternatives.

Bios Life provides a natural, side effect-free option for individuals who are at risk for heart disease and who are unable or unwilling to use statin medications for cholesterol control. Bios Life combines viscous soluble fiber, policosanol and phytosterols to safely optimize cholesterol by minimizing cholesterol absorption in the intestinal tract, regulating cholesterol created by the liver and enhancing enzymatic breakdown of cholesterol in the body.

Like any muscle, your heart grows stronger with exercise and proper nutrition. Unfortunately, most modern diets lack the essential nutrients your heart needs to remain effective day after day. If you’ve been experiencing shortness of breath, tiredness, fatigue, or an increased heart rate, your heart may be nutritionally starved and exhausted.

Because your heart uses so much energy it needs the right nutrients in the right amounts everyday so it can keep working for you complaint free—which is exactly why we developed Cardio Essentials™, a proprietary blend of ingredients which support healthy heart function, blood flow, and nourishes heart tissue. 

What Makes Cardio Essentials so Effective?
Cardio Essentials contains several ingredients that represent scientific advances in heart health. However, our bodies can only use these elements efficiently when taken in the right amounts. For instance, although studies demonstrate that CoQ 10 is effective at daily intakes of 100 mg, most supplements contain only small amounts. Cardio Essentials contains a full 100 mg of CoQ 10, in addition to effective amounts of L-carnitine, L-taurine, and hawthorn.

Super-Charge Your Workout
Cardio Essentials provides the most effective heart strengthening ingredients, in the proper amounts, in one proprietary formula. These ingredients not only help with strengthening the heart muscle but also increase its recovery from exertion. When taken with regular aerobic exercise it can super-charge the effects of your workout.

Users of statins have a need for extra supplementation, because statins deplete the body of CoQ10.

Taurine is an amino acid that is abundantly present in the heart muscle. Studies have shown that people with congestive heart failure benefit from taurine supplementation, because it alters calcium transport in the heart muscle, which is beneficial for the contraction mechanism.

Carnithine is an amino acid that serves as a key to open the walls of the mitochondria to let free fatty acids in. These fatty acids serve as fuel for the power plants of the heart muscle cells.

Hawthorn Berries have a long history in heart health. Hawthorn increases the force of contraction of the heart muscle, and thereby the coronary blood flow, and cardiac output. Also, hawthorn has antiarrhythmic activity

Cardio Essentials is Listed in the Physicians’ Desk Reference
Cardio Essentials is one of the Unicity products listed in the Physicians’ Desk Reference (PDR). The PDR is the nation’s most trusted source of FDA-approved prescribing information, and is consulted by healthcare professionals millions of times each week. The PDR is distributed to almost half a million MDs and chief pharmacists throughout the US. In fact, ninety percent of healthcare professionals consider this reference the most important source of reliable information on which products they should prescribe and recommend to their patients.
