Science
1. Blocks Re-absorption of Cholesterol in the Intestinal
Tract
As food enters the intestinal tract, bile acids are needed
to breakdown fat. The liver uses the cholesterol that's already in the
body to produce these bile acids.
As Bios Life™ Complete enters the intestinal tract, a proprietary fiber matrix forms a gel which traps the bile acids-and traps cholesterol-making it unavailable for re-absorption into the body. This reduces the overall amount of cholesterol in the body.
2. Blocks Absorption of Cholesterol
Which Comes Directly From Food
Bios
Life™ Compete harnesses the power of plant phytosterols. Phytosterols have
a chemical structure similar to that of cholesterol. In fact, phytosterols
so closely resemble cholesterol that they can actually block food-based
cholesterol from being absorbed into the bloodstream by blocking the
cholesterol transport mechanisms in the intestinal tract.
The
result is that both phytosterols and dietary cholesterol end up leaving
the body in waste matter, which can reduce the overall cholesterol levels
in the body.
Foods containing at least 0.65g per dose of
phytosterols (plant sterol esters), taken twice a day with meals for a
total daily intake of 1.3g may reduce the risk of heart disease associated
with high cholesterol levels. A serving of Bios Life™ Complete contains
0.67g of phytosterols.
3. Reduces the
Cholesterol Produced by the Liver
The liver manufactures cholesterol and secretes it into
the blood. An important enzyme in this production process is HMG-CoA
reductase. This enzyme can be blocked by certain chemicals-such as those
found in statin drugs. Unlike synthetic statins, Unicity® utilizes the
most effective natural component called policosanol which has the same
effect-without the dangerous side effects of prescription statin
drugs.
4. Enhances
Enzymatic Breakdown and Removal of LDL Cholesterol
Chrysanthemum morifolium has been used for centuries by
Chinese medicine and has just recently been proven to stimulate the
enzymes associated with cholesterol breakdown. In fact, it was Unicity's
research network that uncovered and developed this proprietary
discovery!
