Question from :

What is Bioslife? What can it do for a person with type 2 diabetes who has high cholesterol and cardiovascular problems?

Answer:

From: DTeam Staff

Bioslife seems to be a proprietary combination of chromium and niacin. In at least one European study, it was claimed to be as effective as two of the most used ‘statin’ drugs in lowering cholesterol. It was also somewhat less costly. I could find no reports in the US medical literature. Any effect of cardiovascular pathology would be secondary to the lower cholesterol and triglycerides.
