Research Brief
Many dieticians and clinicians claim that the optimal dietary-fat intake is approximately 30 percent of total caloric intake. However, due to fast food and other modern food preferences, intake of dietary fat has skyrocketed. There are different types of fats, or lipids, within the body. Most are important as a source of high-energy compounds as well as components of many structural elements in the body. Fats are composed of long chains of carbon atoms with various amounts of hydrogen atoms attached. These carbon chains can vary in length from short to medium to long. Depending upon the way in which the hydrogen atoms are attached, a fat can be either saturated or unsaturated.
Though cholesterol can be considered a fat, it is also classified as a sterol and forms the basis for the production of compounds that regulate metabolic functions. It is not only consumed in the diet but also produced in the liver. High cholesterol is dangerous to health, and diets high in saturated fats tend to increase blood levels of harmful fats that can affect cardiovascular health. Diets high in fiber tend to reduce the absorption of various fats. Fats and cholesterol are transported in the blood by lipoproteins. There are two types of lipoproteins: HDL (high-density lipoprotein) and LDL (low-density lipoprotein). LDL transports cholesterol in the blood and deposits it along the walls of the arteries for storage. Accumulation of this LDL can potentially damage the arterial wall. HDL blocks the entrance of LDL into the arterial wall and carries away excess cholesterol.
FAQs
Q: Why is the new ChitoRich formulation better?
A: The new, improved ChitoRich contains not only chitosan, a fat-binding fiber derived from shellfish, but also NeOpuntia, an extract from the cactus Opuntia ficus-indica that also binds to fat. With the combination of chitosan and NeOpuntia, ChitoRich can now bind twice as much fat as the old formula.*
Q: Is there anyone who should not consume the new ChitoRich?
A: ChitoRich is not recommended for people who have shellfish allergies or for pregnant or lactating women.
Q: Can I take ChitoRich with other supplements?
A: Because ChitoRich helps the body eliminate fat without fully digesting it, it is recommended that you take ChitoRich two hours before or after taking any fat-soluble supplements.
Q: When should ChitoRich be consumed?
A: ChitoRich should be taken with meals that contain fat.
Q: If I consume a meal that contains more fat, can I take more ChitoRich?
A: Yes. If you are consuming a meal high in fat, you can take an extra capsule or two.

Pure insanity… Last week British scientists suggested that cholesterol-lowering statin drugs should be given out with fast food orders in order to erase the heart risks linked with eating fatty foods. I wonder, did these scientists miss Health Class?
We have a choice. Pharmaceutical intervention is wonderful as a last resort. However, when it appears that Science is promoting the usage of these drugs, applauding unhealthy lifestyle choice, you have to wonder what the motivation is.
Statin Drugs are a 50 billion dollar industry… Are we looking at a ploy to make it a 100 billion dollar industry?
Many of us grow to accept defeat , stop looking for a solution, and then find a way to gain acceptance for our limitations.

I fully recommend Bios Life Slim to people that need to lose weight and want to lose weight. It did wonders for me. Nothing drastic, but I easily lost weight gradually. It’s easy to follow and easy to stick to. I lost 40 pounds and 17 inches off my neck, chest, waist and hips. I have more energy, sleep better and don’t have as many headaches as I used to. Friends ask how I lost so much weight and I tell them with Bios Life Slim and how easy it is. Thank you Slim!
My Dad called me shortly after New Year’s and told me about this new product he heard about called Bios Life Slim. He asked me if I would try it for a month, just a month, just to see if it could help me take back control of my weight, my health, my life. I know how IMPORTANT it was to him for me to be healthy and fit. I gave him my promise.
Actually, my weight loss journey started long before my father introduced me to Bios Life Slim. It began when my brother fell ill. At over 650 pounds, my brother went into a coma, unable to efficiently exchange oxygen during sleep because of the weight crushing in on his chest and neck. He remained in a coma for several weeks but the doctors had to keep him in a coma as they had to take very drastic procedures including a tracheotomy and ‘reverse breathing’ in order to reduce the CO2 in his blood and raise his oxygen levels. Two months had gone by and my brother was starting to wake up. It was a miracle, a sweet gift from God. We were so afraid we were going to lose him. He was awake now but… he was facing an uphill battle.
While in the ICU and subsequently in the nursing home, he became ill with many very serious viruses. One thing after the other seemed to hinder recovery. One huge challenge was how badly his muscles had atrophied during the coma. His muscles were too weak for him to walk; it was a challenge for him to even move his arm… How would he ever exercise to get this weight off?
Six months into physical therapy, he took his first steps. It was a joyous, hopeful moment. We were ecstatic! He’ll be home soon!!!!! Once he was able to walk with a walker and was off the respirator, he was released from the nursing home.
At home, though, he faced another challenge. The tracheotomy that saved his life now threatened it. His trachea would collapse with each breath, making exercise near impossible—there was a procedure that could be done to correct it, but he HAD to lose weight before they would perform the operation.
We watched him struggle and tried to be there for him but life just seemed to be too tough. Every move he made would leave him breathless. Looking back, I wish I knew about Bios Life Slim earlier. Maybe he would have been able to lose enough weight to have the surgery needed to save his life.
My mother and I started to diet… to show him that he could lose weight even though he couldn’t exercise. I lost 40 pounds. He tried to be very conscious about what he ate, he was making better food choices and drinking lots of water. Then, one day he went to sleep and never woke up again.
There are no words to describe the pain of losing a loved one. There is no pain that had ever come close to the pain I was numb, in shock, weeks had passed and I had this terrible suffocating pain in my chest. I stumbled through life for months, life just wasn’t the same without him. He was like glue, he held everyone together, now we were all falling apart. I cried and I ate, I cried and I ate. I ballooned out 80 lbs. Now at the heaviest in my life, nearly 250 pounds, I was short of breath at bedtime. I could feel pressure on my trachea from the fat in my chest and neck. I think I was starting to suffer sleep apnea from the extra weight. I would try to sleep on my side so I could breathe better but there was so much pressure that the weight would literally push my ribs out of place. I saw the chiropractor two to three times a week and she always had to pop my ribs back in place. If it hurt that bad to weigh 250 pounds, I can’t imagine how my brother suffered at 650.
Not only did I suffer in bed but in all aspects of my life. I could no longer keep up with my kids. My knees just ached. Sometimes I would crawl up and down the stairs because it was just too painful to walk. Lucky for me, my daughter thought it was funny and she crawled up with me. How blessed I am to know that she was not judging me—in a world where being fat is just about worst thing you could be. It’s more socially acceptable to be anything but fat.
I was so depressed. I had a terrible self-image. I felt so ugly, I couldn’t dress nice anymore, nothing fit, I could never find cute clothes in my size. My closet had three shirts in it, all XL or XXL, a tank top, a 3/4 length sleeve and a long sleeve shirt. Same style, in all different colors. I had one pair of size 22 pants. I never had to worry about what I was going to wear; it was the same thing every day. My zipper was broken but it was the only pair of jeans I owned that fit so I held it together with 2 large safety pins. I didn’t go out much so most of the time I just wore my jammies or sweats.
Enter my Dad and Bios Life Slim. Since starting Slim my life has turned around!
Immunizen A proprietary blend of colostrum (Intact®, standardized to 15% lgG, bovine) arabinogalactan (FiberAid® AG), beta 1,3 1,6 glucan (yeast cell wall extract), lactoferrin (milk protein), stearic acid, and silicon dioxide in a gelatin capsule.
Overview
Our immune system is highly responsive to diet, exercise, and lifestyle. Factors such as sleep deprivation and day-to-day stress can weaken our defences. Many natural food sources provide substances that can help trigger and strengthen immune activity. To help support the immune system through supplementation, Immunizen contains cutting-edge ingredients that provide a food source in the intestinal tract for “friendly” bacteria crucial to immune function and support the body’s Immune cells – especially macrophages — in digesting foreign material in the bloodstream. Colostrum was used by medical professionals to boost immune systems to ward off infections prior to the invention of antibiotics and sulfa drugs. A few of our oldest vaccines were created by antibodies found in bovine colostrum, the Polio Vaccine for example.
Macrophage is a type of white blood cell that ingests (takes in) foreign material. It surrounds and kills microorganisms, removes dead cells, and stimulates the action of other immune system cells. Immunizen’s patented form of Intact® colostrum and other ingredients supply key immunoglobulins, antibodies, inhibitors, protein compounds, growth factors, and enzymes. The health benefits of Immunizen include protecting the body with antioxidants and helping the body make better use of iron.
The human immune system relies on cellular organisms, such as T-cells and macrophages, and immunoregulatory chemicals, such as interferon and interleukin. Before pharmaceutical antibiotics in the 1930s and ’40s, doctors helped people keep healthy through the use of natural substances that stimulated the body’s own defence organisms and chemicals.
To help support the immune system through supplementation, Immunizen contains arabinogalactan, colostrum, lactoferrin, and 1, 3 1, 6 beta glucan. These ingredients have a beneficial impact on the health and strength of the body’s natural defences. Arabinogalactan, a soluble fibre that is one of the most active compounds in Echinacea, is a carbohydrate found in various plants.
Intact colostrum is derived from the pre-milk liquid of the bovine mammary gland during the first 24 to 48 hours after giving birth. Our patented, low-heat processing preserves nutrients and active ingredients to provide the highest concentration of fresh proteins, antibodies, and growth factors. Donor cows are raised free of pesticides, hormones, and antibiotics. Bovine colostrum has been shown to be almost identical to that of a human, carrying the same essential ingredients. Unlike humans, cows produce an over abundance of colostrum that can be collected for human consumption without harming the nursing calf.
Lactoferrin, a protein that supports the immune system, is found in some of the body’s most important fluids, such as milk, saliva, tears, mucous, and white blood cells. 1,3 1,6 beta glucan is a large-chain sugar molecule isolated from the cell walls of baker’s yeast, shiitake and maitake mushrooms, and oat and barley bran.
What it will do for you:
Arabinogalactan acts as a food source in the intestinal tract for “friendly” bacteria, which are important for maintaining a healthy immune system. It also aids the body’s immune cells, especially macrophages, which digest foreign material in the bloodstream. Colostrum is known to have key immunoglobulins, antibodies, inhibitors, protein compounds, growth factors, and enzymes.
Lactoferrin acts as an antioxidant, helps the body make better use of iron, and contributes to the body’s primary defence system. The health benefits of 1,3 1,6 beta glucan have been widely studied and acknowledged since the 1950s.
In The American Journal of Natural Medicine (March 1998), Dr. Zoltan Rona, referring to the growth factors in colostrum, cites a study which was published in the New England Journal of Medicine (323:1-6, 1990). In the study, Dr. Daniel Rudman treated 26 men between the ages of 61 and 80 with GH. Dr. Rudman found a decrease in body fat, an increase in bone density and lean muscle mass, and thicker, more elastic skin, changes Dr. Rudman said were equivalent to those incurred over a 10 to 20 year period of ageing.
Dr William Hennen, author of Transfer Factor, the Natural Immune Booster, who compounded the cutting edge variant of TF called Transfer Factor Plus, describes this immune agent as a “concentrated immune massaging system.” Besides raising the IQ of the individual’s immune system as well gathering intelligence so as to alert naive and dormant immune systems to the impending danger, TFs extracted from colostrum and taken orally are also able to boost “natural killer cell” (NK) activity as well as moderate an over-excited immune system through the “suppressor” component in TFs. Moreover, TFs will act as a memory agent for the immune system. Asserts Dr Hennen: “Transfer Factors are immune messenger molecules that educate and alert naive immune cells to an impending danger. They perform a catalytic role in the immune system.”
“Colostrum as an anti-cancer agent”
· Phytic acid … is a powerful antioxidant. Phytic acid is found in very high concentrations in colostrum… A specially formulated form of phytic acid, called Cellular Forte with IP-6 is used to treat cancers of many types. One of its major effects is to prevent iron from reaching cancer cells. Its iron binding power is so great that it is also used to treat the iron-overload disease, hemochromatosis.

“More possible benefits of Colostrum”
It has also been proven to help build lean muscle, increase metabolism.
Leptin reduced food consumption 60% in Leptin-deficient mice, while increasing energy. Leptin is found in mother’s milk colostrum: large fat cells indicate Leptin deficiency. Leptin-deficient obese mice lost 40% of body weight after 1 month on Leptin, and reduced diabetes, eventually becoming as lean as the most athletic mice: while normal mice lost 12% of bodyweight. Leptin was recently found to regulate at least six Gene clusters, inhibiting fat-production enzyme Acety 1-CoA-Carboxylase, reducing synthesis of fat cells, while improving fat-burning in muscle cells. … Anti-Aging Manual by Joseph B Marion, page 10
Seven years ago, Javier Garrido was full of energy, responsible, and happy. He had three jobs and worked out at the gym for hours every day. He fell in love, got married, and when his wife, Johanna, was eight months pregnant, a tragedy happened in their lives…
Javier had an accident at work and broke his back in three different places and his left hand was lacerated. He had to learn how to walk again and it took him a year and a half to be on his feet. In the meantime, he grew depressed due to his disability and started to eat compulsively. He no longer had the passion to live and the gleam in his eyes was gone.
Johanna couldn’t watch her husband going into self-destruction mode and she encouraged him to drink Bios Life Slim to give him the boost he needed to change his life. Javier was able to overcome his sense of helplessness and he lost 40 pounds in 12 weeks! He no longer complains about back pains and
he even took Johanna to go dancing all night long on her birthday recently.
“Slim has helped me to see life differently. I feel capable of accomplishing many things in life, my energy levels have improved and I no longer have to take pain killers for my back.”
He added, “Before Slim, I didn’t have the energy to play with my kids and I felt like I was 50 and I’m only 32 years old. Now that I drink Slim twice a day, I’ve stopped drinking soda and improved my eating habits—I enjoy eating fruits and vegetables. I eat whole wheat bread instead of white bread. I’ve switched regular oil to olive oil, and I’ve started to exercise and go to the gym again. I’m taking spin classes and I’m having fun!”
As he looks back, Javier remembers he was embarrassed about his weight. “Every time we had to take pictures, I would always volunteer to be the photographer because I hated having my picture taken and I wasn’t happy with the way I looked. I had trouble finding clothes that fit me. No matter what I would wear I would always look fat. When I saw the Ryan Barnett story, I was motivated to change my life since he’s just a regular person like me.”
It’s NOT just Baby Fat, it’s a Nation-wide Epidemic!
A new study from the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine reports that almost one in five American four-year-olds is obese, and the rate is alarmingly higher among blacks, Hispanics, and American Indians.
The report’s lead author said that rate is worrisome among children so young, even in a population at higher risk for obesity because of other health problems and economic disadvantages.
“The magnitude of these differences was larger than we expected, and it is surprising to see differences by racial groups present so early in childhood,” said Sarah Anderson, an Ohio State University public health researcher. She conducted the research with Temple University’s Dr. Robert Whitaker.
The study is an analysis of nationally representative height and weight data on 8,550 preschoolers born in 2001. Children were measured in their homes and were part of a study conducted by the government’s National Center on Education Statistics.
The findings revealed that almost 13 percent of Asian children were obese, along with 16 percent of whites, almost 21 percent of blacks, 22 percent of Hispanics, and 31 percent of American Indians.
According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, adults fare no better. Approximately 45 percent of blacks, 36.8 percent of Mexican Americans and 30 percent of whites are obese.
Obesity leads to unhealthy complications such as high blood pressure and abnormal blood lipids which can lead to heart disease and stroke and diabetes in children.
Diseases commonly seen in 40- or 50-year-olds are presenting in six- and seven-year-olds. Obese children are developing type 2 diabetes, fatty liver disease and musculoskeletal problems, which occur because their bodies can’t carry that much weight.
