Bios Life™ Complete delivers the following active ingredients:

Fibers. Fibers, in particular of the soluble kind, are well known to reduce LDL cholesterol. The American Heart Association therefore advises to include 25 -30 grams of fiber daily in the diet. Bios Life Complete contains 2.7 grams of soluble fiber with 0.3 grams of insoluble fiber and vitamins and minerals, such as chromium. Upon consumption of three packets a day, the fiber amount fills the gap between actual dietary consumption of fiber and the advice of the American Heart Association.

Phytosterols. These phytonutrients have similar structures to cholesterol and therefore competitively inhibit the absorption of cholesterol from the diet. Studies show typical reductions in LDL cholesterol with phytosterols are 5 to 15% over 4 week periods.

Policosanol. This sugar cane extract is a poly-alcohol that has been shown to reduce cholesterol through inhibition of HMG CoA reductase. Several studies have shown that dosages of 5 to 40 mg of this extract daily reduces LDL cholesterol in the range of 20 to 30% over periods of 8 to 24 weeks.

Chrysanthemum Morifolium. This flower extract has been linked by internal research to enhancement of cholesterol metabolism. The plant has been used for centuries in the Chinese culture as a tea.
