SYSTE-MAX: For optimal No Competition!

With a diet of a burger and fries, the average American is far below the recommended intake for dietary fiber. Making matters even more problematic, we know that even in the best-case scenario a person really eating like he/she should - additional fiber often can reduce one' s risk of colon cancer and other cancers of the gastrointestinal system. Decades of research on low cancer rates of people with high-fiber intakes (such as some Asian countries) have clarified this for us.

When considering Syste-Max, keep six things in mind:
1) Syste-Max contains the type of soluble fiber the FDA says can help lower cholesterol levels. Soluble fiber actually gets into the bloodstream, appearing to bind fats.
2) Syste-Max contains Beta Sitosterol - one of the ingredients that may help lower cholesterol; this is one of the components the new cholesterol lowering margarines are using (from soybeans).
3) Syste-Max has 15 mg soy isoflavones per serving. If taken 3 times per day as recommended, that provides 45 mg of isoflavones. You may recall that isoflavones are the components of soy that have been associated with a reduced risk of cancer.
4) Syste-Max has antioxidant vitamins E and C. These free radical scavengers help reduce the destructive oxidation that occurs with aging. This also rounds a triple-whammy on cancer risk (high-fiber, isoflavones, and vitamins E and C).
5) Syste-Max contains a combination of fibers which tend to swell in your stomach and help you feel full, thereby causing you to eat less. So it' s great to use when you' re trying lose weight!
