The Effect of BiosLife on Serum Lipids

This is a double-blind, placebo-controlled study to assess the effectiveness of BiosLife in lowering serum LDL cholesterol and raising HDL cholesterol. BiosLife is a natural supplement (mixed in water and taken twice daily) which contains guar gum and other natural soluble fibers, phytosterols, policosanol, and a proprietary chrysanthemum extract. Approximately 100 subjects with baseline LDL cholesterol of 110-190 mg/dL will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to BiosLife or a look-alike placebo. Changes in lipids from baseline will be assessed at 6 weeks and 12 weeks.
