Dr. Thomas Rainbow in the 1970s proposed that aging was entirely a matter of "error catastrophe." This, simply stated, is the building up of one cellular error on top of another. Oxidation and damage caused by free radicals as well as energy loss from low metabolism eventually builds on itself to cause all of the symptoms of fatigue and old age. The Rx for Life™ Daily Basics Program includes antioxidants to prevent cellular damage and natural products to boost the metabolic rate. This increases energy and stamina and gives a sense of well being. Additionally, Bios Life 2® promotes a healthy digestive system with its blend of soluble and insoluble fiber. The patented form of chromium helps maintain proper insulin function.*
Q. Is chromium safe?
A. Yes. The chromium used in Bios Life 2® is niacin-bound, which is the same way that the body transports chromium naturally. It has been researched in studies and enjoys a long history of safe use since 1976.
Q. When should the products be taken?
A. Use each product as directed. Take Bios Life 2® 15-30 minutes before a meal. When first using Bios Life 2, begin with half a packet until your body adjusts to the more healthy level of fiber. Over time, increase to at least two packets each day. Two Nature Force® tablets can be taken at least 30 minutes before the first serving of Bios Life. The Optimal Performance™ is taken twice a day at least 30 minutes before each Bios Life 2®.

More on Bios Life 2®:
Studies show that fiber can actually block the synthesis of cholesterol in the body as well as prevent the re-absorption of bile acids from the small intestine. There is also evidence to suggest that soluble fibers may help slow the absorption of glucose in the gastrointestinal system. bios life 2® is a special fiber complex of guar gum, locust bean gum, pectin, oat fiber, gum acacia and barley fiber.

Fiber encompasses an array of substances indigestible by the human intestine, whereas proteins, fats and carbohydrates are almost entirely absorbed in the small intestine.
• A large body of evidence supports a direct relationship between LDL cholesterol and the rate of coronary heart disease.
• A study published un 1985 in the New England Journal of Medicine showed that a diet rich in fiber (defined as 30 grams per day of dietary fiber) helped reduce the incidence of myocardial infarction by 43 percent.
Fiber encompasses an array of substances indigestible by the human intestine, whereas proteins, fats and carbohydrates are almost entirely absorbed in the small intestine. Dietary fiber consists of insoluble and soluble components. Insoluble fiber is found in fruits and vegetables. It produces the tough, chewy texture of foods, such as wheat kernels, nuts and popcorn, and is found mainly in the cell walls in the form of strands that give support to plant tissue. Soluble fibers are found in grains and legumes and give the mushy texture to certain cereals. Soluble fibers can draw water to themselves (hydrophilic) and form jelly-like masses that act partially as solids and are readily fermented by intestinal bacteria. This mass forms in the stomach to give you a full feeling, thus reducing your appetite and helping you eat less. Soluble fibers help reduce bowel transit time and have a lubricating effect on the intestine. Soluble fibers are also known to help control and maintain normal cholesterol levels in two ways. First, they prevent the reabsorption of bile acids from the small intestine. To replace the lost bile acids, cholesterol is drawn from the body, thereby reducing its cholesterol supply. Second, the fermentation process in the intestine produces short-chain fatty acids that block the synthesis of cholesterol.
Natural RemediesQ
What kind of chromium is in Bios Life 2®?A
chromemate®,** a patented, highly bioavailable form of niacin-bound chromium (chromium polynicotinate), is found in bios life 2®. chromium is an essential trace mineral required for normal protein, fat and carbohydrate metabolism. chromemate contains less than 2 milligrams of niacin and will not cause skin flushing or other side effects associated with high levels of niacin.Q We’ve been hearing a great deal about the benefits of barley fiber, an ingredient in bios life 2®, and the beta-glucans it contains.What are beta-glucans and what are their benefits?
A
Beta-glucans are the soluble dietary fiber component of barley and oat bran.They have received much attention from the media due to scientific reports identifying them as the agent in barley and oat bran that is capable of reducing serum cholesterol and stimulating the immune system.Q
Will I experience any side effects with the introduction of bios life 2® into my diet?A
The addition of fiber supplementation to a diet currently low in fiber may cause temporary diarrhea or constipation. If diarrhea occurs, cut back on the amount of Bios Life 2® you are currently taking and reintroduce it gradually into your diet using one-half packet or 1.5 teaspoons per serving. Because fiber draws water to it (hydrophilic), constipation may occur. If this occurs, increase your water consumption and cut back on your amount of bios life 2 ®. Then, reintroduce larger amounts gradually into your diet. Fiber needs water to work, and a normal diet should contain eight or more glasses of water a day.Q
