A Proven Legacy with Bios Life 2: Unicity Presents New Clinical Studies on Bios LIfe 2 at National Scientific Meeting
Before the All-New Bios Life, Unicity International has already been saving the lives of hundreds and thousands of people across the globe with Bios Life 2
Proves effective in lowering cholesterol levels for type 2 diabetics.
A new study that was performed with Bios Life 2 has been accepted for presentation at the 6th Annual Conference on Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology that will be organized from April 28th to April 30th in Washington DC.
In this study, the lead researchers, Steven Freed and David Joffe, added 2 or 3 packets of Bios Life 2 to the diet of 78 type 2 diabetics.
The Clinical Impact of Fiber Supplementation on Cardio-Vascular Risk Parameters in Type 2 Diabetics
Introduction
Fiber supplementation, in particular of the soluble kind, has known beneficial effects in lowering the cardio-vascular risk profile by lowering serum cholesterol. It is thought that bile-acid sequestration of cholesterol in the digestive system is the main mechanism for cholesterol reduction. This study investigates the efficacty of Bios Life 2 ®, a fiber supplement combining soluble and insoluble fiber, which has been specifically designed for cholesterol lowering.
Methods
This study includes 78 type 2 diabetes patients with an average age of 59. At baseline, total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL, and HDL were assessed. The subjects then added 10-15 gram of the fiber supplement to their diet for 90 days. At the final visit, the parameters were re-assessed. The fiber supplement is taken as a drink, and consists of guar gum, gum arabic, locust bean gum, pectin, and oat fiber dispersed in calcium carbonate. In addition this product contained chromium, and B-vitamins. Five grams were taken 2-3 times daily 5-10 minutes prior to eating.
Results
The compliance with the fiber supplementation was excellent. The supplementation with fiber resulted in beneficial change to the assessed parameters. The changes are listed in the table.
Conclusion
Supplementing the diet with this fiber drink to a level as recommended by the American Heart Association has clear beneficial effects on the lipid profile of type 2 diabetics. This specially designed fiber supplement has promising effects as an alternative treatment to pharmaceutical intervention for hyperlipidemia.
