Fat Eliminator
Aids weight loss, increases fat loss

What FatBlaster FatMagnetTM is used for
This complementary medicine is used to:
• Assist with weight loss and weight management in conjunction with an energy-controlled diet and exercise program.
• Facilitate the reduction of excess body fat.
• Reduce dietary fat absorption and improve its excretion.
• Enhance general well being.
• Support daily fibre requirement and healthy digestive function.

FatBlaster FatMagnetTM is a naturally derived product specially formulated to help with weight and fat loss. FatBlaster FatMagnetTM contains Chitosan (pronounced kite-o-san), a naturally occurring soluble fibre that is chemically similar to the plant fibre cellulose. Unlike plant fibre however, Chitosan has been seen in vitro to have a “magnetic” binding affinity for lipids or fats in the digestive tract. The positively charged Chitosan binds with the negatively charged fat and bile acids before they have a chance to be metabolised, thus preventing them from being absorbed into the bloodstream. This fat is then passed out of the body, without contributing to your daily calorie intake.

FatBlaster FatMagnetTM also contains Vitamin C which has been shown to increase the effectiveness of Chitosan, and Psyllium Husk fibre for added health and digestive benefits.

There is no evidence that this complementary medicine is addictive.
This complementary medicine is available without a doctor’s prescription.

This complementary medicine is not recommended for children under the age of 15 years without first consulting with a medical practitioner.

Active Ingredients in FatBlaster FatMagnetTM
This complementary medicine is a form of nutritional and herbal supplementation. It is comprised of the following active ingredients:
Active Ingredients (as shown on Pack)
Chitosan 525mg
Plantago afra (Psyllium Husk) powder
equiv. to dry 100mg
Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) 175mg


• Chitosan
Chitosan is an aminopolysaccharide derived from 'chitin' found in plankton and the exoskeleton (shells) of crustaceans such as shrimp, lobster and crab. Chitosan has been shown in vitro to "magnetically" attract lipids and act like a sponge, to prevent fat in the digestive tract from being absorbed. Chitosan dissolves in the stomach and becomes a gel which traps fat in the digestive tract, thereby preventing its absorption and subsequent storage. After trapping the fat it then encourages its elimination from the body.
• Plantago afra powder (Psyllium Husk)
Psyllium husk or Isphagula is the covering of seeds grown on the plant, Plantago afra or Psyllium, which flourishes in the Middle East. Psyllium seed husk has long been recognized as an excellent supplement for added dietary fibre. The physical characteristics of Psyllium seed husk makes it useful for any condition that requires improvement of the gastrointestinal transit time, since the inert bulk of the husks helps provide a constant volume of solid material irrespective of other aspects of the diet or any condition of the gut.
• Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid)
The health benefits of Vitamin C are widely publicised however it has been specifically included in this formula for a different reason. Several published reports have shown that chitosan works synergistically with Vitamin C as it enhances the effectiveness Chitosan.
