1.) How does Bios Life Slim™ specifically
help Diabetics & Pre-Diabetics?
The Biosphere Fiber in Bios Life
Slim™ moderates blood glucose (sugar)
levels in your body through two mechanisms:
-
First, it delays the absorption of
glucose, so your blood glucose does not reach extreme levels - very
important for Diabetics. This relieves stress on the pancreas, and
allows it to produce the correct amount of insulin to facilitate
glucose absorption into your cells. The same amount of glucose is
eventually absorbed - it just takes more time to absorb it.
-
Second, Biosphere Fiber also moderates
glucose levels by changing the Glycemic index of the food. Some foods
cause a high level of blood sugar, while others cause a low level of
blood sugar. The interaction of Bios Life Slim™ with the food, reduces
the overall level of blood glucose, and spreads out glucose
absorption over a longer period of time.
Bios Life Slim™ also contains many of
the essential nutrients that our bodies are deficient in as a result of
Diabetes, such as Chromium, Selenium, Zinc, B Vitamins, etc.. Many
Diabetics also have elevated cholesterol and triglyceride levels... All
of which Bios Life Slim has been been clinically proven to improve. The added
proprietary chromium in Bios Life Slim™ further sensitizes insulin, and
helps to facilitate an additional decrease in average glucose (sugar)
levels.
Since 80% of Type 2
Diabetics and Pre-Diabetics are also overweight, one of the significant benefits of Bios
Life Slim™ is its clinically proven ability to help your body begin
burning fat naturally again, and thus, reduce pounds and inches long term.
Even more important, since Type 2
Diabetes and Pre Diabetes are directly linked to visceral belly fat
(*See the video on our home page with Dr. Mehmet OZ on the link between
belly fat and Pre Diabetes and type 2 Diabetes), and because continuous
and correct use of Bios Life Slim or Bios Life Slim G helps your body to
begin burning fat naturally again - in particular, belly fat - You're
targeting the root source of your high blood sugar.
There are a total of 10 clinically
proven health benefits attributed to Bios Life Slim. If you haven't
reviewed them yet, you can do so by accessing the
Bios Life Slim
Benefits link in the site navigation menu, at the top of this page.
2.) What is Bios Life Slim-G?
Bios Life Slim-G from Unicity International, is the most recent addition
to the Bios Life Slim family of fiber supplements. It works the same as
our other Bios Life Slim products for weight loss and cholesterol
control, with a specific focus on balancing blood glucose levels.
With the use of a proprietary blend of natural ingredients, this
life-changing formula is designed to give the body improved Glycemic
control, when interacting with the food that you eat.
3.) What is difference between Bios
Life Slim and Bios Life Slim G?
Bios Life Slim G was designed with a
greater focus on Glucose Management, sweetened with Stevia, so the taste
is slightly different, and it gels quicker. Here is the easiest way to
understand the purpose of each of the Bios Life products within the
family. Bios Life Slim addresses Cholesterol and Glucose, 50%/50%. Bios
Life C addresses Cholesterol 75%/Glucose 25%, and Bios Life Slim G
addresses Cholesterol 25%/Glucose 75%. As you can see, Bios Life Slim G
provides a more aggressive approach to Glucose management.
4.) Why does Bios Life Slim-G work so well?
Bios Life Slim-G works by applying the latest cutting edge technology
when processing our carefully selected all-natural fibers. Drinking Bios
Life Slim-G two times a day prior to your two biggest meals, allows your
body to balance blood glucose levels — naturally, with no hunger or
cravings — resulting in a slimmer, more attractive you.
Bios-Life-Slim-G, complies with Unicity’s legacy of clinically proven
and researched line of products, Bios Life Slim-G has been evaluated by
world-renowned experts at the University of Sydney in Australia, and a
according to their final analysis, BiosLifeSlim-G can reduce the
Glycemic index of three common foods by up to 30%.
5.) What kind of results can I
expect with Bios Life Slim G?
You can expect to FEEL results with the first packet of Bios Life Slim-G
you try. Right from the start, you will feel the satiating (fullness)
effects and better Glycemic control. You'll also notice a reduction in
your blood glucose (sugar) levels within 48 hours of starting on Bios
Life Slim G. Many of our customers report a reduction in their blood
glucose level the very first day.
Many consumers of Bios Life Slim-G
have seen real weight/fat loss benefits in little as 30 days, and
stabilized blood sugar control - Not lowering your blood sugar
temporarily,
but actually beginning to stabilize it long-term.
There is a simple test you
can perform within your first 48 hours of starting on Bios Life Slim
or Bios Life Slim G to prove to yourself that Bios Life is really
helping you to lower your blood sugar levels safely, naturally, and
quickly:
When you receive your first order of
Bios Life Slim G, read your fasting blood sugar before you take
Slim G for the first time. Then, read your fasting blood sugar (before
eating or drinking) again 48 hours after you've started using
Slim G. We believe you'll be both pleased and impressed with the results
of your blood sugar readings.
6.) Can Type 1 Diabetics also take Bios Life
Slim™ or Bios Life Slim G?
Yes, they can. Initially, most people think
Bios Life Slim™ will
only help Type 2 Diabetics. However, in addition to helping lower blood
sugar, there is an added benefit from using Bios Life Slim™ for those with Type 1 Diabetes...
And that is Bios Life Slim's™ ability to
balance
blood sugar, whether it is too low or too high.
The problem that occurs for many people who have Type 1 Diabetes, especially
children, is that their lifestyles and their activities cause such a
fluctuation in their body's use of glucose, their body's metabolism of glucose, and the
amount of insulin they require. It's very hard to level or balance their blood
sugar levels.
By consuming the soluble fiber in
Bios Life Slim™, this helps their body
moderate
the absorption of the glucose, makes it stay longer, pretty much giving
them a slow-release form of glucose, so that they don't have those
sugar swings.
Low blood sugar for a Type 1 Diabetic (hypoglycemia) is probably more harmful than high
blood sugar (hyperglycemia). The ability to help stave off those lows with
Bios Life Slim™
gives them an opportunity to have better control over their low
glucose. In addition, it will help with the high glucose. And as
children tend to eat a little more irregularly and irrationally than
adults do, taking the Bios Life Slim™ before they eat will help temper some of
the effects that cause high blood sugar, as well. If you have Diabetes,
take Bios Life Slim™ three times a day instead of two to get the necessary
fiber needed to help stabilize the glucose levels in the blood.
7.) Why are Bios Life Slim & Bios Life Slim
G a drink mix, and
not in tablet form?
With tablets or capsules you would need to take 7-8 per serving to get
the amount of needed ingredients in one serving of Bios Life Slim™. More
importantly, Bios Life Slim™ works because it forms a large gel matrix when it
dissolves in water together with the calcium salt in it. A tablet would
be too condensed and would not form the necessary gel matrix.
8.) If I take Bios Life Slim™, will I still have to take
my prescription medications or insulin?
We recommend letting your health care
provider know that you're going to start taking Bios Life Slim™.
As you begin to see your blood sugar level
lowered and stabilized, your health care provider may want reduce the dosage of your
prescription medication, and/or the frequency at which you take them because
Bios Life Slim™ is helping to regulate your blood sugar naturally. Many Type 2
and Pre-diabetics have been able to totally eliminate the need to take
any type of prescription Diabetic medications all together, including insulin,
after starting on Bios Life Slim™.
There are cases, however, when a Diabetic
(specifically some Type 1 Diabetics whose pancreas no longer produce any
insulin at all) may still have to take some insulin. The good news is,
when drinking Bios Life Slim™, many Type 1 Diabetics will be able to work with their health care
provider, and significantly lower the amount of insulin they need, and
that's a very good thing to have happen for them.
9.) Besides Diabetics, who can drink Bios
Life Slim™?
Bios Life Slim™ is derived from
natural ingredients, so it is safe for all ages, but is recommended for
adults and teenagers who need to improve their blood sugar level,
improve their cholesterol levels, lower their triglycerides, and manage their weight.
10.) Can a child drink Bios Life Slim™?
The natural ingredients in Bios Life
Slim™ are good for any age group. Bios Life Slim™ can be safely taken by a teen if they have Diabetes. Children six to twelve should consume only half servings
of Bios Life Slim™. For children under six, we recommend you consult
your pediatrician about adding Bios Life Slim™ to your child's diet. We want to
make sure that they do not start with the maximum dose. So start slowly
with one packet a day and keep careful control, carefully monitoring of
the glucose values, because Bios Life Slim™ will reduce
their overall glucose values.
11.) Can a pregnant or nursing woman drink Bios Life Slim™?
A pregnant or nursing woman should consult her physician about consuming
a high fiber drink like Bios Life Slim™.
12.) If someone is already on a pump for
Diabetes, can they safely use Bios Life Slim?
Yes they can. The same thing applies - that the pump is carefully set to
give the amount of insulin needed for the patient. With Bios Life Slim™, the
fiber and the chromium in the product are going to reduce the overall
glucose values, so the pump will probably need to be adjusted, and we
would like you to discuss that with your doctor before you do so.
13.) How quickly will I see results with Bios Life Slim™?
Blood sugar: If you're taking
Bios Life Slim™ to help regulate your blood sugar levels, results can be
seen very quickly.
The proprietary
Biosphere Fiber™ in Slim
moderates blood sugar both quickly and effectively. Because of
this,
your
blood sugar levels begin to decrease 48 hours after starting on
Slim.
Fat loss:
You will start by experiencing a
decrease in appetite and cravings, followed by fat loss.
We want you to lose weight—and keep it off.
When you add
Bios Life Slim™
to your daily routine, you're slowly, but surely, training your body to burn fat, and not store
it.
It usually takes about 3 months for this transformation to become
permanent. Most users of
Bios Life Slim™
begin "feeling better" within
days, and tell us that they start to see a reduction in size less than
4-6 weeks
later.
14.) A
10-year-old with juvenile diabetes; mother concerned with sugar content
in Bios Life Slim and how much to give?
There is no sugar in Bios Life Slim™
or Bios Life Slim G. It has absolutely no
carbohydrates, so there is no effect on sugar levels.
As previously mentioned, you should give a small child only half
servings.
15.) What if you forget to take Bios
Life Slim or Bios Life Slim G before you eat, or do not have a packet with you... Can it help to
have it later, or just do without it that time?
As a Diabetic or Pre-diabetic, the best time to take
Bios Life Slim™, in order to reach the maximum optimal
effect, is about 10 minutes before your meal, before every meal.
However, if you forget to take the product,
still take it at any other time during the day.
Best time is before a meal because fiber works best before the meal.
Other ingredients, policosanols and phytosterols, actually work
throughout the whole day, so it doesn't really matter for those
ingredients when you take the product. Therefore, should you forget to
take SLIM before your meal, go ahead and take it at anytime
during the day; even after or during the meal, because it is always
better than not taking it at all.
16.) Why do I
need Bios Life Slim or Bios Life Slim G? Can't I just take my Diabetes medication and/or insulin?
You don't need Bios Life Slim™ if you're already
regulating your blood sugar by eating a healthier diet and/or increasing
your physical activity (exercising). Nor do you need Bios Life Slim™ if you prefer taking
prescription drugs and/or insulin.
Bios Life Slim™ is for those Diabetics and
Pre-diabetics who want to lose weight and keep it off, or who have been unable to regulate their blood sugar through
a healthier diet and physical activity, or who are determined to lower
their blood sugar without the use of prescription drugs.
It is also for
Type 1 Diabetics who want to reduce the amount of insulin needed to
regulate their blood sugar. We never recommend that anyone stops taking
a medication without consulting with their health care provider first.
However, Diabetes medications only
address the symptoms of the disease, and do nothing to get to the
root of the problem. Taking Bios Life Slim™, in conjunction with a few smart
lifestyle choices (eating healthier and increasing your level of
physical activity), has helped many Diabetics eliminate their need for
prescription medications all together.
17.) If I take my medications, won't I be
able to prevent any complications from Diabetes?
Unfortunately, that's not true. In spite of
all the drugs available today to help "manage" Diabetes, they simply
help to control the disease. 70% of those with
Diabetes still die from heart disease or stroke (two of the most common
and serious complications from the disease), and the life
expectancy for Diabetics is still 15 years shorter than for those without
Diabetes.
Taking your medications will also help to
reduce the risk of one or more of the other complications of Diabetes
such as Amputations, blindness, kidney dialysis, etc.. But it won't eliminate the risks.
In spite of the medications available
today, Diabetes is still the leading cause of lower limb
amputations. Furthermore, roughly 40% of those with Diabetes also have Diabetic
retinopathy, which can eventually lead to blindness. Diabetes is also
the most common cause of kidney failure, and it can cause impotence in
men. The only way to eliminate these
risks all together is to
be able to balance your blood sugar naturally, and eliminate the source
of the problem for most Type 2 Diabetics and Pre Diabetics: too much
visceral belly fat.
18.)
I've tried other natural supplements that said they'd lower my blood
sugar, & they didn't work. Why are Bios Life Slim & Bios Life Slim G different?
We can't speak specifically about any other
product, but what we can tell you is the following: Simply saying
a supplement includes an ingredient that's been shown to lower blood
sugar (that's what most of these supplements say), gives you absolutely zero insight as to how that
ingredient will respond in a specific supplement without clinical
studies on the supplement itself to validate those claims. That is not a concern with
Bios Life Slim™.
As we mentioned earlier, Bios Life
Slim™ has been
proven in multiple human clinical studies to help balance blood sugar levels
for Type 1 Diabetics, Type 2 Diabetics, and Pre-diabetics - There is no
guess work as to whether Bios Life Slim™ helps regulate blood sugar.
There
is a very logical reason why so many physicians and health care
professionals have been recommending Bios Life Slim™ to their Diabetic
patients for years: Because it works.
19.) Can you drink Bios Life Slim™ with other non Diabetic medication?
Yes. Bios Life Slim™ is considered a food. If you have specific questions
about your medication, ask your physician if it is acceptable to take
your medication with a fiber drink.
20.) Can you drink Bios Life Slim™ with alcoholic beverages?
We don't recommend dissolving the packet contents in alcoholic
beverages; however, the product is safe to drink before a meal where
alcoholic beverages are consumed.
21.) What kind of sweetener is in Bios Life
Slim G™?
Sucralose. Bios Life Slim G is sweetened with all natural Stevia.
22.) Why is there artificial
sweetener in Bios Life Slim™?
Sucralose is a good non-caloric sweetener
for Bios Life products. Many products throughout the world use this
sweetener. Sweeteners like sugar or fructose are unacceptable for many
of our clients. Sucralose, a low-calorie sweetener, is the sweetening
ingredient used worldwide in more than 4,000 food, beverage and
nutritional products. The safety of Sucralose has been confirmed by
leading medical, scientific, and regulatory authorities around the world
including; the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Joint (Food
and Agriculture Organization/World Health Organization) Expert Committee
on Food Additives, European Commission's Scientific Committee on Food,
Health Canada, and Food Standards Australia/New Zealand. For more
information about Sucralose visit, www.sucralose.org.
23.) What kind of sweetener is in Bios Life
Slim™?
Bios Life Slim G is sweetened with all natural Stevia. Stevia, of
course, comes from the Stevia leaf, and is an all natural sweetener.
24.) Do you sell Bios Life Slim in an
unsweetened version?
Yes, we do. Some customers who purchase our
unsweetened Bios Life Slim add their own natural sweetener, like Stevia.
25.) What is
the shelf life for Bios Life Slim™?
A recommended two year shelf life.
26.) What adverse side effects are associated with Bios Life Slim™?
There are no adverse side effects from
taking Bios Life Slim™.
27.) Is there a guarantee for Bios Life
Slim™?
Yes, if you use Bios Life Slim™ for
the 90 days that we recommend to achieve the maximum results, it comes with a 90 day, 100% money back guarantee.
If you only use Bios Life Slim for less than 90 days, our guarantee is
the same as Unicity's other products - 60 days.
28.) How many double blind studies have been completed on Bios Life
Slim™ and how many open panel studies?
There have been eight completed studies on
Bios Life Slim™. Some of them are double blind, placebo controlled studies,
and some of them are open panel studies.
29.)
Who manufactures Bios Life Slim™?
Bios Life Slim™
and Bios Life Slim G are manufactured and distributed - via home-based
franchise owners like ourselves - by Unicity International. Headquartered in Orem,
Utah, Unicity's roots go back more than 100 years to the Rexall Drug
Company.
Unicity was formed in 2001 by the merger of two successful companies: Rexall Showcase International and Enrich
International.
However, The Rexall Drug Company, which founded and owned Rexall Showcase, started the first chain of "franchise" drug
stores, and has been a recognized brand for more than 100 years ago in
the United States and Canada.
Rexall Showcase International, the
home franchise
division of Rexall, was an eleven-year-old company at the time it merged
with Enrich International. At the time of the merger when they became
Unicity, Enrich
International was an eighteen-year-old company. Both companies (Rexall
Showcase and Enrich) were
recognized leaders in the preventive healthcare, anti-aging, and
wellness markets.
Since the merger,
Unicity International has expanded beyond the U.S. and Canadian borders,
and is now serving customers in Venezuela, Guam, Puerto Rico, US Virgin
Islands, Columbia, Germany, Sweden, U.K.,
Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia,
Singapore, Mexico, the Netherlands, Turkey, Germany, Switzerland,
Austria, Sweden, Brunei, India, and the United Kingdom.
Unicity International is also ranked #87 in the Top 100 Privately Held
Companies in the United States, and the #1 ranked Privately Held Company
in the state of Utah.
30.) Once I reach my goals, will I have to
continue using Bios Life Slim or Bios Life Slim G to keep my blood sugar under control, and
to keep the weight off?
"If you take advantage of the results that Bios Life Slim
or Bios Life Slim G will deliver
for you, and you begin to change some of the lifestyle habits that
brought on the excess weight, belly fat (if applicable), and high blood
sugar, in the first place (too many processed foods, sodas, etc. and a
lack of physical activity)... It's not uncommon for a Bios Life Slim
customer to no longer need any
external help to
regulate both your blood sugar and your weight, other than the new and
healthier lifestyle choices you make (I.E. Eating healthier and a little
physical activity)."
One of the most significant
benefits of Bios Life Slim is its ability to help your body reset
itself, and begin doing what it already knows how to do (moderate blood
sugar levels, moderate insulin levels, and burn fat naturally), but is no longer
doing... No other natural supplement we are aware of, can make
that statement.
