Low Oz™ – Hydration
Sunday, July 25th, 2010Ever get thirsty while working out?
Dehydration can occur long before you even become thirsty. In fact, without sufficient fluids, your body is less capable of moving nutrients through your system and distributing oxygen. The result?
Fatigue and muscle cramps. Research shows that dehydrating muscle by as little as three percent can result in a 12 percent decrease in strength. Plus, as you become dehydrated, you lose essential electrolytes such as sodium and potassium, which are critical for bodily functions.
LowOz features exclusive Rapid Replenishment technology that not only delivers a blend of essential electrolytes, energy-efficient nutrients, and antioxidants but also delivers it in an effective manner.* Our secret? Low osmolality — hence, “LowOz.”
Osmolality is the measurement of solid particles in a liquid. For example, the average osmolality of blood is 250. It’s difficult for the body to absorb liquids with osmolality ratings higher than 250. Most of the leading sports drinks have ratings above 250, which means your body doesn’t absorb them efficiently even if your body is dehydrated. LowOz’s osmolality rating is only 150, which means that the ingredients essential to combating dehydration are quickly and efficiently absorbed by your body. LowOz feaures a fresh citrus flavor.
Essential Ingredients:
- Electrolyte Blend - Electrolyte blend combines potassium, sodium and magnesium in an optimal proportion to maintain water balance during exercise. As you exercise and sweat, you lose fluid and important nutrients known as electrolytes. Loss of electrolytes and dehydration can cause multipule negative effects, such as headache, fatique, and muscle cramps. The electrolyte blend helps you maintain your water balance during exercise so you can benefit from your workout and avoid exhaustion.*
- Pine Antioxidant Blend - This superior antioxidant blend includes vitamin C and OPC blend, a combination of grape seed extract and maritime pine bark extract. Exercise creates free radicals, damaging cells inside your body. While the body has its own defense mechanism against free radicals, it is also dependant on antioxidant intake from food and supplements. LowOz supplies powerful flavonoids, catechins, and other antioxidants to support your body’s natural antioxidant defense system.*
- Energy Blend - An energy-efficient blend of slow-metabolizing carbs (fructose), fast acting-metabolizing carbs (maltodextrin), and vitamin B’s provides energy sources to sustain your workout.*

Losing 40 lbs in 12 Weeks
Sunday, December 13th, 2009
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.”
