Amni Lipex, provided by Douglas Laboratories®, is a
unique professional formula containing naturally occurring
dietary fibers, including carrageenan and guar gum, as well
as lecithin and other nutrients important in fat and
cholesterol metabolism. Lipex is available in both tablet and
powder form.
Certain dietary fibers play important roles in the body’s
metabolism of cholesterol and bile acids. Although not an
essential nutrient, dietary fiber is a food component which
the human alimentary tract has become accustomed to during
evolution. Adequate fiber intake is necessary to maintain not
only gastrointestinal health but also certain aspects of normal
lipid metabolism. The body has learned to depend on the
natural ability of dietary fiber to bind bile acids and
cholesterol, thus preventing their intestinal absorption or
reabsorption. Lipex contains two types of water-soluble
dietary fiber that are especially useful in regulating
cholesterol metabolism this way: carrageenan and guar gum.
Each of the ingredients of Lipex is specifically selected and
quality tested to provide a unique, synergistically active
formula:
• Carrageenan and guar gum work together to bind bile
acids and cholesterol.
• Lecithin (soya) plays a key role in the emulsification
and mobilization of fats and cholesterol.
• Niacin and vitamin B6 support the proper metabolism
of fat and cholesterol.
• Silicon supports healthy connective tissue by
functioning as a biologic cross-linking agent.
• Papain ensures complete digestion of dietary proteins
and peptides.
• EDTA stabilizes the product to ensure full potency over
time.
Lipex is a useful dietary supplement for individuals who
wish to increase their dietary fiber and lecithin intake in
order to support healthy metabolism of fat and cholesterol.
For best results, Lipex should be used in conjunction with
an appropriate diet and exercise program.
