Heritage Magnet

Heritage Magnet - This remarkable addition to our line of weight control products can help to reduce the body's absorption of dietary fats and thereby increase weight loss with minimal dietary changes. Magnet's principal active ingredient, Marine Fiber Extract (MFE), is an extremely effective fat binder. Chemically speaking, it is an amino polysaccharide that has the ability to "bind" a portion of ingested fats in the stomach, therefore inhibiting its absorption into the bloodstream. Removal of fats from the blood can lower cholesterol levels and decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer and obesity. We all know a low fat, high fiber diet can help us lose weight. However, many of us, no matter how good our intentions, will not be able to sustain this type of diet--our fast-paced, fast-food lifestyles make it difficult. According to the 1995 Calorie Council survey, 69% of all Americans are trying to incorporate reasonable methods of weight control into their lives.

Better health comes through making a reasonable reduction of fat from your diet, using dietary supplementation (such as Heritage E-lite, Heritage E-lite Nite and Heritage Complete), exercising moderately and using Magnet to trap a portion off the fat from food, thus reducing the amount of fat the body absorbs. Magnet is useful for those who are overweight as well as for those who simply wish to reduce their percentage of fat intake for better health and disease resistance.

Marine Fiber Extract (MFE) is a natural product derived from chitin, a polysaccharide found in the exoskeleton of shellfish. It is chemically similar to the plant fiber, cellulose. They share many of the same properties, except MFE has the ability to significantly bind fat. Marine F E surrounds the fat particles, and because MFE is not broken down in the digestive tract, it acts as a fiber. Bound to the MFE, the fat particles are also excreted by the body.

Magnet also contains a unique combination of erythorbic acid (a vitamin C antioxidant source), guar gum, psyllium seed, and citric acid; all increase the fat binding action of Marine Fiber Extract (MFE) by 40% to 60%. Clinical studies have shown that combining MFE with ascorbic acid results in even less fat digestion and absorption in the intestines. Free radicals are released whenever fat is consumed and burned. The presence of vitamin C can help to expedite the removal of these metabolites and thus increase energy.

Magnet is biocompatible, safe and non-toxic. Other than its fat binding action, MFE remains virtually inactive in the human body. Note: do not use if you have any kind of shellfish allergy, are pregnant or breast-feeding. Also, if you are taking medication of any kind, check with a health care professional prior to use. In addition, it is recommended that fat soluble nutrients such as Vitamin E, A, D and K be consumed at a separate time from Magnet, so their absorption is not hindered.

By adding Magnet to a weight control plan, fat intake can be reduced by 20-30% while at the same time, fiber intake is increased. Heritage Magnet is a simple way to make a big impact on the success of a weight loss plan.
