Q. Is there any difference in efficacy of the Slim as to WHEN it is used during the day…..such as Breakfast & Dinner? Or Lunch & Dinner? Are there notable differences in using Slim 3X per day as opposed to 2X per day?. A. Studies and case reports have shown that the best way to use Bios Life Slim is by using it before every meal. This also makes sense because of the working mechanism. You want to prevent all glucose and resulting insulin peaks after the meals. If you have to make a choice and use only two packets per day, it makes sense to combine it with the heaviest (most carbohydrate- rich) meals. For some people this will be breakfast and dinner. For other people this may be lunch and dinner. Q. One of the videos talk about an increased energy level that many Bios Life users experience…. How is this accounted for without stimulants…..I have been on Bios Life for about a month and I am not sure that I have experienced an increase in “energy”?. A. There are several reasons why most users of Bios Life Slim experience increased energy levels. One of the reasons is the inclusion of B vitamins in the product. B vitamins are necessary cofactors for the production of energy in our body. When you lack sufficient amounts of B vitamins you have a lack of energy. By supplementing those vitamins by Bios Life Slim you will be able to increase your energy production during the day and that you will notice. Another reason why most people experience increased energy levels is because of the better use of glucose in the blood. Bios Life Slim causes the flattening of glucose peaks after the meal. And that means that glucose is better available throughout the day. Without this effect, high peaks in glucose after the meal may result in a strong fluctuation of glucose levels, because the body overproduces insuline as a reaction on the high glucose levels. Strong fluctuations in glucose cause the tired feeling after a meal. The unique formulation of Bios Life Slim lowly releases glucose into the bloodstream which makes sure that all the glucose, which is the main energy source for our body, is efficiently usedand this will actually increase the energy levels. Q. Is What materials would you use to create the best first impression when meeting with physicians or other health care providers to talk about the use of Bios Life in their practices. A. In my experience, physicians and other healthcare professionals want to know that a body of evidence exists when they evaluate a specific product. I also know that most healthcare professionals do not actually read the studies that have been published. Usually because of lack of time. The frame of reference for healthcare professionals is usually how they are being approached by sales reps from pharmaceutical companies. They usually use a detail aid which is a couple of pages with some graphs showing an overview of the effects that a product will have for their patient population. This will result in a discussion and this discussion is followed up with a reference guide with all the published clinical studies. This model can be copied completely using Bios Life Slim. What we have is a good overview of clinical study results and we have a Unicity science binder or Unicity science CD that provides all the published references in great detail in an easy format. In a short matter of time I will make both documents available on my website so that people can start using them. Q. Is there any research specific to children, obesity, and Bios Life. A. At this stage we have not performed clinical research in children with our products. This is because it is rather difficult to get ethical approval to perform studies with this vulnerable group. However case studies with children using Bios Life Slim have indicated that also for this group the product has great effects for weight loss. Also the beneficial effects for cholesterol and lipid levels have been reported in children. Q. I would also like to know how to get copies of the journals with studies that have been published regarding Bios Life Slim. A. Bios Life Slim is a relatively new product and although we have performed a couple of studies with this product but the process of getting them published is not completed yet. As you may know getting a study published usually takes about a year. As soon as we have those we will be able to provide you with copies. What we do have at this stage is many copies available for studies with Bios Life Complete. In a short time I will be offering a Bios Life science CD which includes all the clinical studies that have been performed with all products of Unicity not only Bios Life Complete. Q. I would like to be know how a product gets into the PDR and why it would make it superior to other products not in the PDR? A. To be able to list the product in the physicians' desk reference one has to get approval from the medical committee that judges the quality and clinical evidence that exists for a product. The PDR itself is just a publisher. If a product is listed in the PDR it means in general that it has specific treatment value to a particular disease state. Therefore Unicity has been successful in listing Bios Life Complete as well as specific treatment products such as Cardio Essentials, Visutein and CM Plex. Q. I have a new customer with IBS who says the slim is giving her diarrhea. I advised her to do it one time a day until she gets used to it. Is there anything else I can tell her that will help her? A. The increased soluble fiber intake with Bios Life Slim may indeed result in diarrhea for some persons. This is completely normal and nothing to worry about. The diarrhea will disappear after a couple days of continued use of Bios Life Slim. If that is a problem, the user may also reduce the amount of water consumed during the day, or reduce the water used to mix up the Bios Life Slim. Q. I was wondering if the 30mg dose of DHEA is not on the high side and could there be capsules made in lower doses like 15mg? A. Regarding your first question, typically the clinical studies that have been performed with this ingredient range in doses from 25 to about 200 mg per day, without any noticed side effects. So it may be expected that 30 mg per day is a safe dose and clinically effective dose. I think the suggested level of 15 mg per day is too low expect a meaningful physiological effect. Q. My Pharmacist friend has concerns about the 30mg DHEA as far as whether it is synthetically based. A. The second question is about the origin of the ingredient. I am not sure about the exact source of this ingredient, since I do not have access to that information. We must realize that the hormone is produced naturally by the body, but that there are no plant sources for this hormone. I presume the ingredient is being produced in a biochemistry plant, which means that bacteria or other microorganisms produce it using their own natural biochemistry. This is different than synthetic chemistry, because in this case solvents and other chemicals are used. Q. I would like to know how slim gets the brain to start listening to leptin again. Does slim bind with leptin to reduce the amount? Does it reduce the amount of leptin produced? What is the mechanism? A. Thank you very much for your question. There is one component in the product that is being absorbed in the digestive tract called Unicity 7X. This proprietary ingredient interacts with the receptors for leptin in the brain. Leptin is normally produced when a person consumes fat. It regulates the fat storage and also tells our fat storage cells to start burning the fats as a source of energy. Leptin is actually produced by the fat cells themselves. If an obese or overweight person has too much fat cells, there is going to be a constant high level of leptin. This results in leptin insensitivity. One can compare this with insulin insensitivity. If a prediabetic person produces too much insulin to control the constant high glucose levels, the cells are going to lose the sensitivity for this hormone. The proprietary ingredient will reinstate over a period of time the sensitivity of the leptin receptors in the brain, so the present levels of leptin will actually start doing their job again. This will result in a lower fat content in the body and therefore in a lower production of overall leptin. In a circular process, slowly the total leptin levels in the body are going to be reduced. Q. What two universities developed what you call unicity 7x? A. The University of Minnesota, and the University of Connecticut. Q. I need your consultation: I have a woman who became a franchise owner took slim for a few weeks then stopped for a week – then restarted. She got sick with cramps and told me the product is way to acidic to take. She stated she cannot sell a product that she does not believe in and has that adverse affect on her. What are your thoughts? Please advise? How do I handle this? A. Thank you very much for your questions. The story is pretty short but what I suspect is that the lady did not give it enough time to have her digestive tract get used to the extra fiber in the product. Fiber is a normal ingredient of our diet but most people do not take enough of it on a daily basis. That means that once a person takes in additional fiber in the form of Bios Life Slim, the tissue on the inside of the digestive tract has to get used to it. This is because the bacterial flora are digesting the fiber and this will produce certain components that may influence the environment in the gut. Also additional carbon dioxide is produced and this leads to gas formation. All in all this may be experienced in the form of cramps. It is however nothing to be worried about. Once you have taken the product for a couple of weeks these effects will disappear. I would encourage you to try to convince your customer to try it a couple of weeks and then she will experience the benefits herself without the side effects. Her remark on the product being too acidic, I disagree with. It is true there is some citric acid in the product for taste reasons but the overall pH level is not acidic. Q. The video states that Bios Slim blocks the absorption of fat – does it also block the absorption of fat soluble vitamins? A. I understand your concern. The soluble fiber in Bios Life Slim partly blocks the obstruction of fat in the digestive tract. However this is different for fat soluble vitamins. Perhaps I can explain it in this way: the product forms a thick matrix with the fat from our food, that travels slowly through the digestive tract. During this journey there is still an exchange between the food matrix and the tissue on the inside of the gut. So valuable nutrients which fat soluble vitamins are still going to be absorbed. In fact some scientists believe that the absorption of these vitamins is going to be improved, because the body has more time to extract it from the food matrix during the passage in the digestive tract. However, this effect has not been proven in scientific studies. It has been proven though for minerals. We know from studies that if you consume more fiber in your diet, the absorption of essential minerals such as selenium, zinc, copper, and others, is improved. Q. I started my product (Calcium-Mag chelate powder) this past weekend. Is it okay to take with my evening meal? I have benn drinking it about a half hour before going to bed and I have noticed that I get a little queasy about 20-30 minutes later. I thought perhaps with a meal this would alleviate that issue. Would you know what might be causing this side effect? I am thinking the calcium itself because I had issues with Caltrate and another brand that I can not recall the name of. A. I think the time that you take the product is exactly the wrong time. Calcium supplementation can be best taken very close to a meal. If the calcium can mix with the contents of the mealm the adsorption of the mineral by the tissue in the gut is going to be much more effective. The side effect you have experienced is possibly due to bulking of the calcium in your gut, and slow movement of your bowel contents because you were laying flat the moment after you take it. |
