OUR HISTORY

The Bios Life FranchiseThe Bios Life Franchise is revolutionary in the franchise

industry. It offers people from all backgrounds an opportunity to take control of their financial futures and start

their own franchise working part-time.

Unlike most franchises that require large start-up costs, ongoing overhead, and fixed costs, a Bios Life Franchise is affordable to almost anyone who wants to own his or her own business.

Successful Bios Life Franchise Owners include people who are interested in earning extra income working part-time, business people who are building a Franchise full-time, and medical professionals who share our patented Bios Life product with their patients every day.

Supported by Unicity International, a leader in nutritional science, each Bios Life Franchise Owner is provided everything needed to succeed in building a successful Franchise.

From Rexall to Unicity InternationalOur franchising roots and heritage date back to 1903 when Louis Liggett opened the first Rexall Drug Store. Over the next 50 years, Rexall grew to have as many as 25,000 drug stores. In 1990 Rexall launched the Bios Life Franchise model to market some of its most unique, science-based products.

Today the Bios Life Franchise is a division of Unicity International, one of the nation’s leading health and nutritional companies. For over 21 years Unicity has been committed to an endless pursuit of nutritional excellence. Unicity International’s products are based on a foundation of scientific research, clinical studies, and world-class quality control.

The Bios Life Franchise operates out of 23 business facilities throughout the world and sells more than 120 nutritional and personal-care products to tens of thousands of customers in more than 30 countries.

The leading cause of cardiovascular disease is having unhealthy levels of bad cholesterol, also known as LDL

cholesterol. This cholesterol is a wax-like substance that, over time, forms a plaque on the inside of the artery. For

most people there are no signs or symptoms that this plaque is building up, which is why it is a called the silent killer.

Unfortunately for millions of people each year, this plaque buildup ruptures, resulting in a blocking of blood flow. If the blood flow going to the brain is blocked, it causes a stroke. If it is blocked going to the heart, it results in a heart attack.

Effects of Cardiovascular DiseaseNot only is cardiovascular disease the number one cause of death in North America, it is also the leading cause of death in the world. According to the American Heart Association, cardiovascular disease kills one person every 36 seconds. That’s 2,400 people each day and more than 876,000 each year.

Cardiovascular disease claims more lives each year than cancer, diabetes,

HIV/AIDS, lower respiratory diseases and accidents combined.

Statin Drugs Versus Bios Life™

The drugs used by doctors to treat high cholesterol are called statin medications and come with a long list of well-documented side effects. In fact, it is estimated that over 25% of the population cannot take statin medications because of their potential side effects.

Today billions of dollars are being spent by pharmaceutical drug companies to market statin medications, illustrating the size of this market. Because of the magnitude of the heart disease epidemic, the statin medications market is expected to exceed $30 billion in sales this year.

How many people do you believe would prefer a natural alternative to chemical medications? What if you had exclusive marketing rights to the only safe, natural, clinically proven alternative to statin medications?

Without question Bios Life is the most effective, all-natural alternative to statin medications for helping people reach and maintain healthy cholesterol levels. Not only is it equally effective as statins at lowering LDL (bad) cholesterol, it is also three times more effective at raising HDL (good) cholesterol.

The studies on Bios Life have gained the attention of the American Heart Association who wrote a press release on Bios Life educating their members on the benefits of Bios Life. Their members—the cardiologists of the world—are facing more and more demands from their patients who do not want the potentially dangerous side effects of chemical, pharmaceutical drugs.

Proven and Recommended Today Bios Life is recommended by thousands of doctors and health-care professionals and is found in the prestigious Physicians’ Desk Reference. This guide, also known as the PDR, is found in almost every doctor’s office. It is the resource doctors consult most when they need to learn about drugs and their alternatives, of which Bios Life is one of the few listed.

Many of the successes, joys, skills and relationships I have in my life today are a direct result of building my Bios Life Franchise. I have the flexibility to spend time with my family yet still develop my professional skills. In fact, I now have the opportunity to live my passion by having an impact on heart health on a far greater scope.

Lori Hamilton M.S., APRN, C.S., Franchise Owner

Clinically Proven ResultsThe benefits of Bios Life have been clinically proven in 8 scientific trials and clinical studies at some of the top universities, hospitals, and research institutions around the world, including the Cleveland Clinic, recognized as the leading heart research institution in the United States.

On average, Bios Life reduces bad cholesterol (LDL) by 31% in only eight weeks and over 50% in participants with very high LDL levels. It improves good cholesterol levels (HDL) by an average 29% in the same eight weeks and up to 80% in those with very low HDL levels. Continued use showed further improvement in both LDL and HDL levels. It also reduces triglyceride levels an average of 40%. There is no known clinically proven drug or natural product in the world that offers these three combined benefits to help reduce one’s risk of cardiovascular disease. Unlike prescription drugs, Bios Life is a true cholesterol optimization product.

There is no product that I could prescribe that could do the things that Bios Life can do.

Improves Numerous Biological Functions The fiber matrix in Bios Life promotes the health of the intestinal tract. This can be noticed by improved digestion, increased energy, better bowel function, and a strengthened immune system. A clean intestinal tract also allows our bodies to get rid of toxins and better absorb important nutrients from our diets. The protection our immune system provides to fight off all kinds of sicknesses and disease is directly related to the health of our

intestinal flora. Bios Life provides nutrition for our friendly bacteria.

Bios Life’s formula and manufacturing process are protected by two U.S. patents.

Since the introduction of the original Bios Life in 1991, sales have exceeded $1 billion.

• Chromium polynicotinate – A proprietary form of chromium with high bioavailability that enhances the effectiveness of insulin and reduces blood glucose levels.

• Beta glucans – Fiber that controls the lipid and glucose response after a meal. Also stimulates white blood cells that are a key factor in the immune system.

• Niacinamide, Riboflavin, Biotin, Cyanocobalamin, Folic Acid, and Thiamin HCI – Provide a powerful vitamin B complex to breakdown nutrients into energy. Also B-vitamins decrease the homocysteine level which is an independent risk factor for CVD.

• Ascorbic Acid, D-Alpha Tocopheryl Acetate and Beta Carotene – Powerful antioxidants that prevent lipid and LDL oxidation and strengthen the immune system.

Bios Life Key Ingredients• Biosphere Fiber – A patented blend of

five highly soluble fibers combined with mineral carbonate which quickly forms a fiber matrix in the digestive system that traps cholesterol and bile acids.

• Phytosterols – Soy bean oil and sunflower oil extract which causes cholesterol from the food to be passed out of the body and not absorbed into the bloodstream.

• Policosanol – Sugar Cane extract which in-hibits HMG-CoA reductase—the key enzyme involved in cholesterol synthesis by the liver.

• Chrysanthemum morifolium – A water extract which activates an enzyme called 7-alpha hydroxylase which takes cholesterol out of the system and converts it into bile acids.

Helps Stabilize Blood SugarBios Life is clinically proven to stabilize our blood sugar levels.

This has important benefits for all of us. Our modern diets and processed foods cause rapid fluctuation of glucose and insulin

levels in our blood. The peaks cause cellular damage and pancreatic stress. The lows cause sugar cravings and lack of energy.

The fiber matrix in Bios Life limits the rapid increase of sugar levels by spreading out the sugar absorption during the day and by reducing the glycemic index of our foods. The resulting balance in our sugar levels gives us more usable energy throughout the day and prevents us from giving in to our sugar craving. This is of great benefit if you want to maintain a healthy weight or want to lose weight.

The lower glucose levels in the blood are also very beneficial for diabetics. The studies with Bios Life have shown that diabetics can reduce their sugar levels after the meal using Bios Life and improve their overall disease management.

The added proprietary chromium in Bios Life further sensitizes insulin and allows a further decrease in average

glucose levels. This scientific work has been recognized by the American Diabetes Association.

Ready-made MarketAccording to the American Heart Association

more than 105 million people suffer from high cholesterol levels; more than 36 million have

dangerously high levels of cholesterol. In addition, millions more suffer from a combination of imbalanced blood sugar levels, low energy levels, weight management issues, high triglyceride levels, or digestive problems.

The good news for people everywhere is that Bios Life is the perfect preventative solution for all of these health concerns.

The good news for Bios Life Franchise Owners is that they offer

the only natural, safe, clinically proven, product of its type to effectively address

these health concerns.

People are Seeking Natural SolutionsMore than at anytime in history, people are searching for natural, safe solutions to address their health concerns. As a result, the wellness industry is expected to exceed $1 trillion by 2010.

“Although I practice conventional medicine as an Internist, I always look forward to alternative means to solve today’s health problems. Bios Life has not only given me this opportunity, but also has provided the financial freedom and independence I have desired for years.”

Public AwarenessOver the past ten years, North Americans have been informed about the risks of high cholesterol through a bombardment of advertisements, press articles, and government warnings.

Leading pharmaceutical companies have spent billions of dollars informing the public about the dangers of high cholesterol and the benefits that cholesterol drugs (statins) provide to patients. In fact, the two top-selling prescription drugs in the world—Lipitor and Zocor—are both statins.

Although statins are effective in lowering bad (LDL) cholesterol, they do very little

to improve good (HDL) cholesterol or lower triglycerides. Science now shows that

improving HDL, LDL, and triglycerides at the same time is the most effective way to reduce

your risk of cardiovascular disease.

The Business ModelFor those Franchise Owners who want to build a highly profitable business, we teach a simple model called the 5-20-3. After getting started, we work closely with our Franchise Owners to help them identify five new Franchise Owners and 20 customers. We then work with them to help each of their new Franchise Owners find five Franchise Owners and 20 customers.

When this simple process is duplicated three times, a Franchise Owner’s earnings will exceed $100,000 a year.

The Financial ModelWith the Bios Life Franchise model, Franchise Owners buy the products at wholesale, sell them at retail, and keep the entire profit. No royalties are paid.

We recognize that there is no one better qualified to help find and train new Franchise Owners than the existing successful Franchise Owners. Therefore, we have built a profit-sharing bonus program that rewards Franchise Owners who help in building our Franchise network.

It benefits the existing Franchise Owners because it offers them an additional profit

center and enables them to benefit from the success of new Franchise Owners, rather than

to view them as competitors.

It benefits the company because it saves the time and cost associated with identifying and training new

Franchise Owners.

This unique financial model has created a win-win relationship, benefiting both the company and our Franchise Owners.

This financial model allows our Franchise Owners to choose the extent of their involvement. If they want to solely focus on marketing our products, they can earn several hundred dollars a month. If they want to help attract and train other Franchise Owners, they have the potential to earn a six-figure annual income—an income level that has been reached by hundreds of Franchise Owners.

This financial model allows our Franchise Owners to earn a residual income from the consumption of product by the customers in their Franchise network. It also allows them to earn a leveraged income on the efforts of the Franchise Owners in their Franchise network.

Ignacio Santoyo, Franchise Owner

The Bios Life Franchise Development SystemTo assist those who want to help build our Franchise network by identifying new Franchise Owners, we have created a simple three-step Franchise Development System.

Step 1 — Introduce the Bios Life Franchise Opportunity. Bios Life Franchise Owners introduce the Bios Life Franchise using one of our introduction CDs. These CDs come packaged individually in four-color printed packaging or as part of either the Profiles of Success Booklet or Corporate Profile Booklet—the one you are reviewing right now. Successful Franchise Owners make it a point to hand out two of these tools each day to those they know and to new people they meet.

Step 2 — Build Belief in the Bios Life Franchise Opportunity. If someone has an interest in the Bios Life Franchise after the initial introduction, we give them either our Corporate Profile Booklet or our Profiles of Success Booklet with a CD recorded by Stewart Hughes, our CEO. The goal of this step is to provide prospective franchise owners more information about the Bios Life Franchise.

Step 3 — Get New Franchise Owners Started Correctly. If someone has a serious interest in the Bios Life Franchise after reviewing these tools we meet with them to answer their questions. For those who decide to start their own Bios Life Franchise, we give them our Getting Started Booklet and training CD that teaches them how to get started building a successful Bios Life Franchise. We then meet with them to help them get off to a successful start.

Business DevelopmentWe have learned over the past 17 years that the most effective way for our part-time Franchise Owners to introduce our products and business is by using professionally produced tools such as CDs, DVDs, brochures, and personal websites.

Because we do not expect our Franchise Owners to be skilled in giving presentations, we teach them how to become experts at delivering our powerful message using a variety

of tools. These tools make it easy and time efficient for new Franchise

Owners to introduce our products and business to others. An even greater

advantage is that these tools produce a higher success rate than most Franchise

Owners could do on their own.

Customer Development SystemTo help a Franchise Owner build a strong customer base, we have created a variety of inexpensive product education tools to inform prospective customers about the numerous benefits of Bios Life. In addition, we provide personal E-commerce Bios Life websites where new and existing customers can learn more about Bios Life.

When people purchase Bios Life through a Franchise Owner’s online storefront, we process the order, ship it directly to the customer, and pay the Franchise Owner the profit. Through the use of tools and technology, we are able to maximize our Franchise Owners’ productivity, allowing them to build successful businesses without a huge time commitment or large financial investment.
