Heritage Magnet
Reduce Bodies Absorption of Dietary Fats!

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 binds 4-8 times its
weight in fat molecules and fatty acid |
| Magnet binds dietary
cholesterol |
| Magnet reduces the
absorption of all of the above |
| Magnet can function as a
non-digestible dietary fiber |
| Magnet correlates with
improved cardiovascular health |
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.
