BioPerine
Description:Black pepper is a spice made from the dried, unripe fruit of the Piper nigrum plant, which is native to the southwestern coast of India. It is one of the most widely used spices in the world, and it is often utilized to add flavor and heat to a wide variety of dishes. In traditional medicine, black pepper is purported to have a number of health benefits. It is a good source of antioxidants and is thought to have anti-inflammatory properties, which may make it useful in reducing inflammation and swelling in the body. Black pepper is also used as a natural remedy for digestive problems, such as indigestion and bloating, and to boost the immune system. Black pepper is widely used in dietary supplements, specifically, an extract from black pepper known as piperine. Piperine can affect the absorption of many drugs, which is why it has a large number of reported interactions. Oftentimes, these 'interactions' are purposeful, such as when piperine is used with turmeric, to increase its absorption.

Lactospore
Description:Bacillus coagulans, also known as Weizmannia coagulans or Lactobacillus sporogenes, is a spore-forming, lactic acid-producing, Gram-positive bacterium used as a probiotic. Bacillus coagulans has shown benefits for constipation and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Its spores are stable in stomach acid and reach the small intestine, where they germinate and multiply, with around 85% reaching their destination. The bacterium is excreted via feces, with spores detectable up to 7 days post-administration. Mechanistically, Bacillus coagulans exhibits antibacterial effects through the production of coagulin, lactic acid, and lactosporin, reducing pathogenic bacteria colonization. It also demonstrates antifungal properties and anti-inflammatory effects, potentially reducing the growth of pathogenic bacteria and decreasing the production of lipopolysaccharides. Bacillus coagulans may stimulate immune response, as evidenced by increased CD4+ T cells in adults with HIV-1 infection and modulation of inflammatory cytokines in schoolchildren. These properties categorize Bacillus coagulans as an immunomodulator, immunostimulant, and probiotic, with potential therapeutic applications in promoting digestive health and immune function.

| Brand IP Statement(s) |
- cholesterolbalance(TM)
-Viscofiber(R) - High viscosity beta-glucan concentrate helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels.*
-Plant Sterols - Natural complex including Beta-Sitosterol.
-Policosanol – Clinically proven to help maintain healthy blood lipid levels* Clinical research has proven that beta-glucan, plant sterols and policosanol help support healthy cholesterol levels.* CholesterolBalance(TM) supports healthy cholesterol levels with scientifically proven ingredients and whole-food natural co-factors from twelve healthy vegetables.
Viscofiber(R) is a high viscosity beta-glucan concentrate (non-digestible polysaccharides) derived from oats that has been shown to be 20-30 times more viscous than regular beta glucan extract. Health experts “accept viscosity as a major physiochemical property responsible for physiological effects of consuming soluble fiber”, critical in regulating healthy cholesterol levels.
CholesterolBalance(TM) contains a natural complex of plant sterols, including beta-sitosterol, campesterol, stigmasterol and brassicasterol. These phytosterols help lower serum cholesterol levels by decreasing cholesterol absorption in the small intestine. Plant sterols work by reducing absorption of both dietary cholesterol and cholesterol produced by the body. Policosanol has been shown to help maintain healthy cholesterol and blood lipid (triglyceride) levels. The Policosanol in CholesterolBalance(TM) is manufactured from sugar cane wax using a molecular distillation process and is the same raw material source used in a variety of clinical investigations.
Providing natural whole-food co-factors, a blend of twelve different vegetables have been added for a complete, cholesterol support formula. CholesterolBalance(TM) is potency-enhanced with Futurebiotics BioAccelerators(TM). Clinically-proven Bioperine(R)† (Piper nigrum extract) improves nutrient bioavailability, while our proprietary natural compound of Ginger extract, Trikatu, super-potent Digezyme(R)† and Lactospore(R)† boosts digestion and absorption.

Cholesterol Health Action Plan
Cholesterol balance is a key indicator of cardiovascular health. Maintaining a healthy cholesterol balance between “bad” low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and “good” high-density lipoprotein (HDL) is essential for heart health. Contributing factors to unhealthy cholesterol levels include heredity, diet, age, gender and stress. Truth is, many people may need additional strategies for maintaining healthy cholesterol levels.
Dietary
-Take Futurebiotics CholesterolBalance(TM) and eat foods high in fiber such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes and choose low-fat dairy products.
-Read labels and avoid foods high in saturated fat. Avoid unhealthy fats in cooking; grill or bake.
-Choose fish, lean meats and other quality sources of protein.
-Take a complete multi-vitamin and Omega-3 supplement every day. Physical Activity
-Experts agree that 30 minutes of activity every day can contribute to healthy cholesterol balance.
Complementary Therapies
-Stress may play a role in raising cholesterol by affecting your choices to overeat or to eat foods high in fat or by smoking. There are several quick ways to help alleviate stress during the day, including visualization and deep breathing techniques. (See futurebiotics.com)
-Education – the more you know the better chance you have of reducing the risk of high cholesterol.
Do’s and Don’ts
-Diabetics are at greater risk for heart disease and should be extra vigilant in having their cholesterol checked.
-Know your family’s health history and help reduce your risk of high cholesterol and heart disease.
-Take your supplements and any prescribed medications as directed.
-Smoking has been shown to raise LDL cholesterol levels and speed up atherosclerosis.
Measure Your Progress
Know your cholesterol levels. Work with your healthcare professional, get regular checkups and have your cholesterol checked on a regular basis. Experts advise all adults over 20 years of age should have their cholesterol checked at least once every 5 years and thereafter as recommended.
