BIO-C™ DS[ oıb ¯ se]

DESCRIPTIONBio-C™ is a vitamin C nutritional supplement.Bio-C™ is a yellow, water-soluble, crystalline powderpressed into a tablet. Each Bio-C™ tablet consists of a pro-prietary blend of ascorbyl palmitate, calcium ascorbate, as-corbic acid, magnesium ascorbate, and 37.5 mg of citrus bio-flavonoids. In addition to the active ingredients, each tabletcontains cellulose, stearic acid, silicon dioxide, croscarmel-lose sodium, and magnesium stearate.BENEFITS AND RESEARCHVitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a water-soluble vitamin that isused in the body to form cartilage, collagen, muscles, andblood vessels. Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that canprotect small molecules such as proteins, carbohydrates,nucleic acids, and lipids from damage caused by free radi-cals that are generated through the course of normal metab-olism or through exposure to external toxins and pollutants(e.g. ultraviolet radiation from the sun or smoking). VitaminC can also regenerate other antioxidants like vitamin E. Ad-ditionally, vitamin C is required for the synthesis of carni-tine, a molecule involved in the transport of fats across themitochondrial membrane, as well as the synthesis of norep-inephrine, a neurotransmitter.1

USAGETake one tablet morning and night with a meal.

SAFETY AND WARNINGSBio-C™ is well tolerated. Some gastrointestinal discomfortmay be experienced as with any dietary supplement.

HOW SUPPLIEDAvailable in tablets.

BIOS LIFE® CARDIO DS[ o-ıb ¯s lıf kärd-e-o]Advanced Fiber and Nutrient Drink

DESCRIPTIONBios Life® Cardio is a fiber-based, vitamin rich nutritionalsupplement. Bios Life® Cardio contains a blend of solubleand insoluble fibers, phytosterols, policosanol, an extract ofChrysanthemum morifolium, vitamins, and minerals thatwhen combined with a healthy diet and exercise may lowertotal serum cholesterol, lower triglyceride levels, and reducethe risk of heart disease.Bios Life® Cardio is light orange in color. It is a hygroscopiccrystalline powder that is generally soluble in water. Eachserving of Bios Life® Cardio contains 3 g of fiber, 1 g of phy-tosterols, 6 mg of policosanol, and 12.5 mg of an extract ofChrysamthemum morifolium. In addition to these active in-gredients, each serving of Bios Life® Cardio contains mal-todextrin, citric acid, orange juice powder, sucralose, andorange flavor.

BENEFITS AND RESEARCHIt’s estimated that Americans consume 10-12 g of total fiberper day, less than half the amount of the recommended dailyintake. Epidemiological and clinical studies have correlatedlow daily fiber intake with higher incidences of hyperinsu-linemia, hypercholesterolemia, and elevated risks of cardio-vascular disease.Bios Life® Cardio is a nutritional supplement designed toincreased daily fiber intake. Each serving of Bios Life®Cardio contains three grams of dietary fiber. When takenthree times daily, Bios Life® Cardio contributes to nearlyhalf of the recommended daily value of fiber. Fiber supple-mentation has been shown to decrease preprandial andpostprandial glucose levels and lower LDL cholesterol andapolipoprotein B levels.In addition to fiber supplementation, Bios Life® Cardio con-tains a patented blend of phytosterols, policosanol, Chry-santhemum morifolium, vitamins, and minerals. This blendof ingredients optimizes cholesterol levels through a combi-nation of four mechanisms. First, the soluble fiber matrixprevents cholesterol reabsorption in the gastrointestinaltract through bile-acid sequestration. Second, the phytoster-ols reduce dietary absorption of cholesterol. Third, policosa-nol inhibits hepatic synthesis of cholesterol mediatedthrough HMG-CoA reductase. Fourth, Chrysanthemummorifolium provides phytonutrients that enhance conver-sion of cholesterol to 7-α-hydryoxycholesterol. The fourmechanisms provide a synergistic approach to optimizingcholesterol levels. Research has shown that this productmay serve as a first line treatment option for mild hyper-cholesterolemia, as well as adjunct therapy for lipid-lowering pharmaceutical intervention.

SUGGESTED USAGEDissolve the contents of one packet or one scoop into 8 to10 fl. oz. of liquid (water or juice) and stir vigorously. Drinkimmediately. Use 15-20 minutes prior to meals up to threetimes daily.

SAFETY AND WARNINGSBios Life® Cardio is well tolerated. There may be mild gas-trointestinal discomfort, such as increased flatulence orloose stools, during the first month of initial use due to theincreased uptake of dietary fiber. This GI disturbance usu-ally disappears within the first thirty days. If the GI dis-comfort persists, reduce the number of servings of BiosLife® Cardio.

BONEMATE® PLUS DS[bo n-ma t plus]For Strong Bones and Healthy Teeth1

DESCRIPTIONBoneMate® Plus is specially formulated to help maintainoptimal bone health.1 It contains three forms of calcium andvitamin D to maximize absorption and aid in the support ofhealthy bones, teeth, nerves, heart, and muscle tissue.BoneMate® Plus is a light gray in color and is soluble inwater. Each serving of BoneMate® Plus contains the follow-ing active ingredients: 600 mg of calcium, 300 mg of magne-sium, 30 mg of vitamin C, 2000 IU of vitamin D, 0.5 mg ofboron, 5 mg of zinc, 1 mg of manganese, 1 mg of copper, and20 mcg of vitamin K. In addition, it also contains the inac-tive ingredients microcrystalline cellulose, croscarmellosesodium, and magnesium stearate, hypromellose, hydroxy-propylcellulose, stearic acid.BENEFITS AND RESEARCHCalcium is the most common mineral in the body. Almost99% of the calcium in our body is found in the bones andteeth. Bone is a dynamic tissue that is constantly being re-modeled throughout our lives. A chronically low calcium in-take in growing individuals may prevent the attainment of

optimal peak bone mass. Once peak bone mass has beenachieved, inadequate calcium intake may contribute to ac-celerated bone loss and eventually to osteoporosis.Vitamin D, a secosteroid that is produced by the body uponexposure to the sun, is required for optimal calcium absorp-tion. To ensure that calcium absorption is not limited by in-adequate vitamin D levels, BoneMate® Plus contains2000 IU of vitamin D per serving. In addition to facilitatingcalcium absorption, vitamin D has been shown to targetover 2000 different genes in the body. Vitamin D deficiencyhas been associated with increased risks for heart disease,stroke, diabetes, depression, osteoarthritis, chronic pain,and osteoporosis.

USAGETake two tablets twice daily with a meal.

SAFETY AND WARNINGSBoneMate® Plus is well tolerated. Some gastrointestinaldiscomfort may be experienced as with any dietary supple-ment. The Food and Nutrition Board of the Institute ofMedicine has set the tolerable upper level (UL) of intake forcalcium in adults at 2,500 milligrams (mg) of calcium/day.

OMEGALIFE-3™ DS[o mega 3fıl-¯ ]Omega-3 Fatty Acid Supplementation

DESCRIPTIONOmegaLife-3™ is a blend of omega-3 fatty acids designed tohelp maintain healthy cardiovascular and cerebral functionas well as aid in the prevention of age-related macular de-generation.

OmegaLife-3™ is an amber-colored, semi-viscous, fat-soluble liquid. Each serving of OmegaLife-3™ contains thefollowing active ingredients: 800 mg eicosapentaenoic acid(EPA), 400 mg docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and vitamin E.In addition, it also contains the inactive ingredients gelatin,glycerin, purified water, and orange oil. OmegaLife-3™ hasbeen molecularly distilled to ensure exceptionally pure oiland includes orange oil to prevent a fishy aftertaste.BENEFITS AND RESEARCHClinical research suggests fish oil can help support properbrain and visual function. In 2002 the FDA approved sup-plementation of DHA in infant formula. DHA is potentiallyimportant in fetal and infant neural development, in thatDHA and arachidonic acid have been shown to be incorpo-rated into brain and retinal cell membranes—particularlyduring the third trimester of pregnancy and early infantlife.DHA is the predominant structural fatty acid in the centralnervous system and in the retina of the eyes.EPA supports the synthesis of important compounds in thebody. EPA is the precursor of thromboxane and leukotriene,compounds involved in supporting healthy circulation. Theyalso promote healthy blood vessels.Evidence is accumulating that increasing intakes of EPAand DHA can decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease bypreventing arrhythmias, decreasing the risk of thrombosis,decreasing triglyceride levels, slowing the growth of ather-osclerotic plaque, and decreasing inflammation.1

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has stated,“Supportive but not conclusive research shows that con-sumption of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids may reducethe risk of coronary heart disease.”

USAGETake two softgels twice daily with a meal.

SAFETY AND WARNINGSOmegaLife-3™ is well tolerated. Some gastrointestinal dis-comfort may be experienced as with any dietary supple-ment. Common side effects include a “fishy” taste upon eruc-tation.

UNICITY BALANCE™ DS(Also known as Bios Life® Slim or Bios Life® S)Formula for Healthy Cholesterol Support

DESCRIPTIONUnicity Balance (also known as Bios Life® Slim or BiosLife® S) is a fiber-based, vitamin-rich nutritional supple-ment. Unicity Balance™ contains a blend of soluble and in-soluble fibers, Unicity® 7× technology, phytosterols, polico-sanol, an extract of Chrysanthemum morifolium, vitamins,and minerals that when combined with a healthy diet andexercise may lower total serum cholesterol, reduce the riskof heart disease, and help achieve and maintain a healthybody weight.Unicity Balance™ is light orange in color. It is a hygroscopiccrystalline powder that is generally soluble in water. Eachserving of Unicity Balance™ contains 4 g of fiber, 1 g of phy-tosterols, 750 mg of Unicity 7×, 6 mg of policosanol, and12.5 mg of an extract of Chrysanthemum morifolium. In ad-dition to these active ingredients, each serving of UnicityBalance™ contains maltodextrin, citric acid, orange juicepowder, sucralose, and orange flavor.

BENEFITS AND RESEARCHIt’s estimated that Americans consume 10-12 g of total fiberper day, less than half the amount of the recommended dailyintake. Epidemiological and clinical studies have correlatedlow daily fiber intake with higher incidences of obesity, hy-perinsulinemia, hypercholesterolemia, and elevated risks ofcardiovascular disease.Unicity Balance™ is a nutritional supplement designed toincrease fiber intake. Each serving of Unicity Balance™contains four grams of fiber. When taken three times daily,Unicity Balance™ contributes to half of the recommendeddaily value of fiber. Fiber supplementation has been shownto decrease preprandial and postprandial glucose levels,lower LDL cholesterol and apolipoprotein B levels, increasesatiety, and facilitate weight loss.In addition to fiber supplementation, Unicity Balance™contains a patented blend of phytosterols, policosanol, Chry-santhemum morifolium, vitamins, and minerals. UnicityBalance™ facilitates weight loss through five distinctmechanisms. First, the soluble fiber matrix promotes an in-crease in satiety. Second, Unicity Balance™ improves cho-lesterol levels. Reduction in LDL content removes a potentinhibitor of lipolysis. Third, Unicity Balance™ improvesblood glucose levels. Maintaining appropriate serum glu-cose levels reduces hyperinsulinemia and promotes insulinsensitivity. Reducing insulin levels permits fatty acid oxida-tion to occur. Fourth, Unicity Balance™ restores appropri-ate leptin signaling. Lastly, Unicity Balance™ reduces tri-glyceride levels allowing for leptin to cross the blood-brainbarrier and affect its mechanism of action. Research hasshown that this product may serve as a first line treatmentoption for mild hypercholesterolemia, as well as adjuncttherapy for lipid lowering pharmaceutical intervention.

SUGGESTED USAGEDissolve the contents of one packet or one scoop into 8 to10 fl. oz. of liquid (water or juice) and stir vigorously. Drinkimmediately. Use 15-20 minutes before meals up to threetimes daily.

SAFETY AND WARNINGSUnicity Balance™ is well tolerated. There may be mild gas-trointestinal discomfort, such as increased flatulence orloose stools, during the first month of initial use due to theincreased uptake of dietary fiber.
