The Strength of Science behind Bios Life Slim
Peter Verdegem Phd MBA
As the former chief science officer of Unicity international, I am often asked about the science behind Bios Life Slim.
Bios Life Slim is a unique nutritional product that is based on peer-reviewed, published and patented science. Unlike many nutritional products in the marketplace today, Bios Life Slim has been formulated based on individual ingredients that each have credible university-initiated science proving their health benefits.
The base of Bios Life Slim is formed by a proprietary blend of soluble fiber, comprising pectin, guar gum, locust bean gum, and others. Each of these individual fibers has published research that shows their ability to improve the intestinal health by promoting the growth of healthy bacterial flora which is known to stand at the basis of a strong immune system.
The fiber blend has been mixed with calcium carbonate, and this unique mixture ensures the formation of a viscous and voluminous fiber mixture in the stomach, since calcium carbonate reacts with the acidic environment of the stomach to form carbon dioxide which enlargers the fiber suspension. Only this form of fiber mixture has been shown to reduce the bad cholesterol, also known as LDL, as well as increasing the good cholesterol, or HDL, at the same time. Currently no pharmaceutical intervention is known to do this simultaneously, and certainly not without the serious side effects that are normally seen with cholesterol medication. This unique working mechanism of Bios Life Slim has been patented for the next decade. Furthermore, since the fiber mixture is present in your digestive system before you take your meals, the product reduces the glycemic index of the food that you take and this will in turn reduce the glycemic response of carbohydrate-rich foods that we tend to eat in USA on a daily basis.
The postprandial glucose rise that is normally seen with these foods is therefore reduced, and this has great benefits for pre-diabetics, people that suffer from metabolic syndrome, and even type 1 and type 2 diabetics. Studies done with the fiber make matrix of Bios Life Slim have shown a clinically relevant reduction of postprandial glucose values and HbA1c. The phytosterols present in Bios Life Slim have separate evidence showing that they are able to reduce the LDL concentration by about 10% in 12 weeks time. Policosanol is another ingredient with great peer-reviewed science proving the reduction of LDL by another 20%. Finally Bios Life Slim is known to reactivate the leptin response in the brain so that our brain directs the reduced intake of fat and the increased lipolysis in our fat storage deposits, making you to reduce your waist circumference and weight.
As the former chief science officer, I have always made sure that each product that we formulate at Unicity is based on these peer-reviewed science behind the ingredients. As any scientist will tell you, combining individual ingredients with proven clinical effectiveness will result in synergistic effects that will even increase the effect of the total product: in simple words 1+1+1 = 4.
Therefore, this product is a unique life-changing nutritional innovation which will attack most of today’s lifestyle challenges we have. When taking this product several months you will clearly see a reduction of your fat deposits, as well as an improvement of your cardiovascular risk parameters. Finally it may reduce the risk for developing glucose intolerance, and has shown to be beneficial for the management of diabetes.
