The Fourth Mechanism of Bios Life—
Patented Flower Power
Boosting the enzymatic breakdown and removal of cholesterol.
By Dr. Peter Verdegem, Unicity Chief Science Officer

Bios Life is the only supplement that combines all four of the known approaches or “mechanisms” to maintaining healthy cholesterol levels.

Mechanism One: Trapping and eliminating the cholesterol in your bile acid.
Mechanism Two: Preventing your body from absorbing cholesterol from the food you eat.
Mechanism Three: Decreasing the amount of cholesterol manufactured by the liver naturally.

And Mechanism Four, today’s topic: Boosting the enzymatic breakdown and removal of cholesterol.

Cholesterol’s Bad Rap
Cholesterol has had a lot of bad press over the years. But the fact is, you need cholesterol—in fact, that’s why your body produces it. Cholesterol is a major building block for many of the hormones in your body. For example, both the estrogen and testosterone hormones begin with cholesterol as a starting molecule.

Another important function of cholesterol is to build and maintain cell membranes. Cholesterol floats in the fatty phospholipids that makes up your cell walls, and maintains the structural integrity of your cells.

A third function of cholesterol is that it’s a fundamental building block for bile acids.

So you need cholesterol in your body. The problem is that too much cholesterol is a health risk.

Manufacturing the Chemicals You Need to Survive
Your body is like a high-tech chemical manufacturing facility. It’s continually building, tearing down, eliminating or storing the chemicals it needs to survive. One of these chemicals that your body is continually manufacturing and then tearing down is bile acid. Bile acids are biological molecules that our body uses to digest fat from our diet. They are made by the liver using cholesterol as a building block. One of the bile acids is called cholic acid.

The first step your body takes to make cholic acid is to convert cholesterol into what’s called “7 alpha-hydroxycholesterol.” Try saying that five times fast. What produces this transformation is an enzyme called 7-alpha hydroxylase.

Now imagine being able to give those 7-alpha hydroxylase enzymes an energy drink that make them work twice as hard. As a result, more cholesterol would be taken from your body’s storage and converted into cholic acid—thus reducing the total amount of cholesterol in your body.
Meet our Proprietary Discovery
That’s exactly what the Fourth Mechanism of Bios Life does—thanks to an extract from chrysanthemum—that’s right, from the flowers that are in bloom this time of year!
It was our own Unicity Research and Development that discovered that a water extract of chrysanthemum morifolium energizes the enzyme 7-alpha hydroxylase. Chrysanthemum morifolium is not a new herbal extract. It has been known for many centuries that this flower has healthy benefits when it is consumed as a tea. Particularly in china and other parts of Asia this flower tea is consumed for its benefits for the eyes, and the immune system.

In fact, this discovery is the foundation of one of the patents on Bios Life—making it the only supplement available that possesses this cholesterol lowering mechanism.

Bios Life Ingredients > Fiber

What’s so great about fiber?

Plenty!

Fiber benefits include:

Reduced Risk of:

Alsheimers Disease

Cancer (Including: Breast, Collectoral and Prostate)

Heart Disease (All forms)

Diabetes

Obesity

Let’s face it, the average american isn’t getting enough fiber in his/her diet.

How much fiber do you need?

Well, ideally we need 25-30 grams of fiber every day.

Where can you get good fiber besides Bios Life?

Good Sources of Fiber

The best sources of fiber include beans, wholegrain cereals (barley, oats, rice), fruits, vegetables and nuts. Sources of insoluble fiber include: wheat, corn, rice, veggies and beans. Sources of soluble fiber include: citrus fruits, apples, mango, oats, dried apricots and beans (haricot, soybeans).

This list was compliments of Anne Collins
To get 25-30 grams of fiber you would have to eat a lot of fruits, vegitables and beans.

That’s why we recommend you supplement your diet with BiosLife
