This Month’s Featured Product
BoneMate® Plus
For strong bones and healthy teeth.

Your Bone Health is at Risk
By 2020, half of all Americans over 50 will have weak bones unless we make changes to our diet and lifestyle. People who have weak bones are at higher risk for fractures. Americans are living longer, and this means that our bones need to stay strong so we can be active and enjoy life.

Strong bones begin in childhood. With good habits and medical attention when needed, we can have strong bones throughout our lives.

Unicity Raises Funds and Awareness at America's Walk for Diabetes

Unicity employees, families, and friends participated in America's Walk for Diabetes on Saturday, September 29, 2007 which began at the This is The Place Heritage Park.

Following optional 2, 3, or 5 mile courses that ended at Utah's Hogle Zoo, tired walkers were greeted with glasses of Unicity’s LowOz, for quick rehydration. In addition, Unicity provided samples of Bios Life.

Diabetes is currently the fifth leading cause of death by disease and has no cure. In the U.S. alone, more than 18.2 million individuals are affected by the disease, which can lead to heart attacks, kidney disease, blindness and amputations. America's Walk for Diabetes creates awareness while raising much needed funds for research, information and advocacy.

Clinical Results of Bios Life Published in Current Topics in Nutraceutical Research

Current Topics in Nutraceutical Research, an international scientific journal for decision makers in the nutraceutical industry, has recently published an article by Dr. Peter Verdegem, Unicity Chief Science Officer, detailing clinical results of Bios Life.

Dr. Verdegem’s article, “Viscous Soluble Fiber Combined with Phytosterols and Policosanol Reduces LDL-Cholesterol and Increases HDL-Cholesterol in Hypercholesterolemia” details the results of one of the several clinical studies conducted on Bios Life.

But What Does “Viscous Soluble Fiber Combined with Phytosterols and Policosanol Reduces LDL-Cholesterol and Increases HDL-Cholesterol in Hypercholesterolemia” Mean?
Simply this: You can improve cholesterol, enhance blood sugar levels, and actually lose weight with Bios Life!

Bios Life is a unique blend of fiber, vitamins, and other natural ingredients that work together offering numerous health benefits including achieving and maintaining healthy cholesterol levels, and stabilizing blood sugar levels.

Reduces the Risk of Cardiovascular Disease
The leading cause of cardiovascular disease—North America’s #1 killer—is unhealthy cholesterol levels which allow plaque to form inside your arteries. Regular use of Bios Life has been proven to reduce bad cholesterol (LDL) by 31% in only eight weeks. Bios Life improves our good cholesterol (HDL) by an average 29% in the same eight weeks.

How Does Bios Life Help Achieve Healthy Cholesterol Levels?
The foundation of Bios Life is called Biosphere Fiber, a patented blend of five highly soluble fibers.

After drinking a glass of Bios Life, the Biosphere Fiber lowers serum cholesterol by reducing the absorption of cholesterol from the food you’re eating. In addition, this fiber complex absorbs bile acids, which are the compounds manufactured by the liver from cholesterol that are necessary for the proper digestion of fat.

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.

Stabilizes Blood Sugar
As your drink of Bios Life coats your food, it prevents sugar from entering your system too fast. Normally, sugar gives you a momentary boost in energy—followed by a lapse of energy, and usually causes you to crave more sugar in order to boost your energy again. Without Bios Life you submit yourself to a rollercoaster sensation of energy and then exhaustion. The soluble fiber in Bios Life acts as a “time release” agent for the sugars found in your food.

Clinically Proven Results
The benefits of Bios Life have been clinically proven in eight scientific trials and clinical studies at some of the top universities, hospitals, and research institutions around the world. In addition, the studies with Bios Life have shown that diabetics can reduce their sugar levels using Bios Life and improve their overall disease management.

But Wait, There’s More…
Bios Life contains much more than just Biosphere Fiber. In your stomach and digestive tract, other key ingredients in Bios Life go to work full-throttle. 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.

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.

Next is chromium. According to new research at Harvard, those with low levels of chromium in their systems are significantly more likely to develop heart problems. Chromium helps to stabilize blood sugar levels in the body. Bios Life contains a patented chromium polynicotinate, or niacin-bound chromium, called ChromeMate® which is the most easily absorbed chromium for the body.

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.

Fighting Cholesterol with Phytosterols
In order to be most effective in controlling cholesterol levels, Bios Life has included three types of potent phytosterols: b-sitosterol, campesterol, and stigmasterol. Phytosterols are a chemical found in plants. Technically speaking, phytosterols are cholesterol analogs, which means they have similar functions but different origins. Phytosterols are picked up by these proteins instead of cholesterol, which allows the cholesterol to be passed out of the body and not absorbed into the bloodstream.

The Sweet Addition of Policosanol
Policosanol, an ingredient in Bios Life that originates from sugarcane, has been shown to inhibit an enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase—one of the enzymes involved in cholesterol synthesis. Policosanol is in fact an all-natural statin, and like a statin drug, it is also highly effective.

Stop and Smell the Chrysanthemums
It was our own Unicity Research and Development that discovered that a liquid extract of chrysanthemum morifolium energizes an enzyme called 7-alpha hydroxylase. 7-alpha hydroxylase takes cholesterol out of your system and converts it to cholic acid—a form of bile acid. Chrysanthemum morifolium extract is like giving the 7-alpha hydroxylase enzymes an energy drink that make them work twice as hard. As a result, more cholesterol is taken from your body’s storage and converted into cholic acid—thus reducing the total amount of cholesterol in your body.

Proven and Recommended
Bios Life is one of the Unicity products listed in the prestigious 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. Ninety percent of healthcare professionals consider this reference the most important source of reliable information and it helps them in making the right decision on advising their patients on which products they should use.

As the weather turns cold, more and more of us need help to fight colds and flu. Fortunately, Unicity offers a powerful immune-enhancing team: SIG (the fantastic product with a funny name) and Immunizen. Together, this dynamic duo can help you fight the evils of winter.

You May Not Know This…
The Greatest Little Part-Time Career You’ve Never Even Heard Of
Did you know that the person who introduced you to Bios Life is probably the independent owner of their own, home-based Bios Life Franchise?

It’s unlike anything in the business world. Unicity International has developed something completely new—a hybrid. Part franchise, part home-based business, the Bios Life Franchise was created to answer two vital concerns: the growing and devastating effects of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and obesity, and an increasing need for the average person to supplement their income on a part-time basis.

What’s the Number 1 Health Concern World-Wide?
Not only is cardiovascular disease the number one cause of death in North America, it’s also the leading cause of death in the world. According to the American Heart Association, cardiovascular disease kills one person every 36 seconds. That’s 2,400 people each day and more than 876,000 each year.

What’s more, increasing numbers of people are being diagnosed each month with diabetes 2 and obesity and the devastating effects of these diseases. More and more people are looking to the field of Nutritional Sciences to find a solution.
