Bios Life 2 is a fiber-rich nutrient mix that can support healthy cholesterol levels when combined with a healthy lifestyle. In a recent clinical study, Bios Life 2 —with its good source of fiber—proved successful in lowering cholestrol, a risk factor associated with coronary heart disease.
Studies show that fiber
can actually block the synthesis of cholesterol in the body as well as prevent
the reabsorption of bile acids from the small intestine. There is also evidence
to suggest that soluble fibers may help slow the absorption of glucose in the
gastrointestinal system. Bios Life 2® is a special fiber complex of guar gum, locust bean
gum, pectin, oat fiber, gum, acacia, and barley fiber.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
We’ve been hearing a great deal about the benefits of barley fiber, an ingredient in Bios Life 2, and the beta glucans it contains.What are beta glucans and what are their benefits?
Beta glucans are the soluble dietary fiber component of barley and oat bran.They have received much attention from the media due to scientific reports identifying them as the agent in barley and oat bran that is capable of reducing serum cholesterol and stimulating the immune system.
Will I experience any side effects with the introduction of Bios Life2 into my diet?
The addition of fiber supplementation to a diet currently low in fiber may cause temporary diarrhea or constipation. If diarrhea occurs, cut back on the amount of Bios Life 2 you are currently taking and reintroduce it gradually into your diet using one-half packet or 1.5 teaspoons per serv ing. Because fiber draws water to it (hydrophilic), constipation may occur. If this occurs, increase your water consumption and cut back on your amount of Bios Life 2 Then, reintroduce larger amounts gradually into your diet. Fiber needs water to work and a normal diet should contain eight or more glasses of water a day

R e s e a rch Brief
Fiber encompasses an array of substances indigestible by the human intestine, whereas proteins, fats,and carbohydrates are almost entirely absorbed in thesmall intestine. Dietary fiber consists of insoluble and soluble components. Insoluble fiber is found in fruits and vegetables. It produces the tough, chewy texture of foods, such as wheat kernels, nuts, and popcorn, and is found mainly in the cell walls in the form of strands that give support to plant tissue. Soluble fibers are found in grains and legumes and give the mushy texture to certain cereals. Soluble fibers can draw water to themselves (hydrophilic) and form jelly-like masses that act partially as solids and are read-ily fermented by intestinal bacteria. This mass forms in the stomach to give you a full feeling, thus reducing your appetite and helping you eat less. Soluble fibers help reduce bowel transit time and have a lubricating effect on the intestine. Soluble fibers are also known to help control and maintain normal cholesterol levels in two ways. First, they prevent the reabsorption of bile acids from the small intestine. To replace the lost bile acids, cholesterol is drawn from the body, thereby reducing its cholesterol supply. Second, the fermentation process in the intestine produces short-chain fatty acids that block the synthesis of cholesterol.
