Clinical Study Conducted on the Effects of Bios Life Slim Ingredients on Type 2 Diabetes

Last year, Dr. Peter Verdegem, Unicity Chief Science Officer, and Franchise Owners Dr. Isabel Martinez, MD, and Bobbi Horne, both from Blue Mesa Medical Associates in Katy, TX, presented the results from a clinical study conducted to study the effect of Biosphere Fiber on type 2 diabetes.


Biosphere Fiber, a component of Bios Life Slim, is comprised of a proprietary blend of Guar Gum, Gum Arabic, Locust Bean Gum, Citrus Pectin, Oat Fiber, Maltodextrin, and Beta Glucan.

The study was conducted on 34 patients who were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and hypercholesterolemia. The study participants took Biosphere Fiber twice daily 15 to 20 minutes before meals. The study measured lipid and glucose levels at the start of the study, and then after 4 weeks, and again after 8 weeks.

The study concluded that after taking Biosphere Fiber for 8 weeks:

Introduction: Dietary approaches to management of lipid and glucose parameters in diabetes is gaining popularity among patients. Monotherapy with dietary ingredients has shown positive effects, but with limited clinical relevance.


Our research focuses on using a phytonutrient combination in optimizing lipid and glucose parameters. All four ingredients have individual data supporting their use for optimizing lipoprotein fractions in hypercholesterolemia. This pilot study evaluates their combined efficacy in type-II diabetes.


Methods: A group of 34 subjects with established type-II diabetes and hypercholesterolemia added the product to their diet. The drink was taken thrice daily 15-20 minutes before meals. The fiber drink consists of viscous soluble fiber, minerals, vitamins, policosanol, phytosterols, and an aqueous Chrysanthemum morifolium extract. Lipid and glucose parameters were measured at baseline, 4 and 8 weeks.



Conclusion:


BiosLife / BiosLife Slim, a phytonutrient combination drink, shows potential in optimizing parameters associated with cardio vascular disease risk in type-II diabetes. These findings are well in line with previously reported clinical results. The fiber component has reduced the post-prandial glucose levels and the resulting lower HbA1c levels indicate that BiosLife provides a natural option to improve diabetes management.

Latest Diabetic study presented at American Heart Association Conference April 2007

Clinical Results of Bios Life Presented at American Heart Association Annual Conference.

Dr. Peter Verdegem, Unicity Chief Science Officer, and Franchise Owners Dr. Isabel Martinez, MD, and Bobbi Horne, both from Blue Mesa Medical Associates in Katy, TX, presented the results from a clinical study conducted to study the effect of Bios Life on type 2 diabetes.

The study was conducted on 34 patients who were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and hypercholesterolemia. The study participants took Bios Life twice daily 15 to 20 minutes before meals. The study measured lipid and glucose levels at the start of the study, and then after 4 weeks, and again after 8 weeks.

The study, entitled “Lipid and Glucose Optimization Using Phytonutrient Combination Therapy in Diabetics” was presented at the American Heart Association Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology Annual Conference held April 19-21, 2007 in Chicago. See below for clinical abstract.

The study concluded that after taking Bios Life for 8 weeks:

Parameter.............All Participants......Participants with dangerous levels.
Total Cholesterol..Decreased 14.2%...Decreased 21.5 %
LDL(bad) .............Decreased 18.3%...Decreased 28.9%
HDL (good)...........Increased 3.5%.....Increased 14.4%
Total Glucose........Decreased 21.3%...Decreased 32.5%
Glucose.................Decreased 17.3%...Decreased 28.9%
HbA1c...................Decreased 9.4%...Decreased 15.8%

If you are diabetic, in 8 weeks, Bioslife will reduce your diabetic levels and manage your cholesterol to reduce your risk for stroke and heart disease.
