Spring has sprung and summer is right around the corner. Let’s face it, six-packs are what turn the most heads when lounging on the beach or frolicking in the surf. Weight-loss, dieting, working out, burning calories and shredding are all terms we have come to accept when the thought of getting in shape becomes a reality. It’s no secret that regular exercise and a sensible, nutritious diet are what it take to achieve “Greek god” status. There are, however, certain combinations of ingredients that can positively supplement even the most enthusiastic fitness aficionado. We recently spoke with Marvin Heuer, M.D. about his patented CARDIASHRED, the newest weight-loss supplement that also benefits the heart.

Tell me about CARDIASHRED. 

It’s the first product released by Heuer MD Research. The product is a heart healthy, heavy duty shredder, and it can be used by all athletes, men and women. I wanted to formulate a product that can help people get in shape and also protect their hearts at the same time. 

Do you use the product? 

I use it daily. It's like my morning and afternoon stimulant coffee for energy, plus I get my vitamins. 

What makes this product different from anything on the market? 

It has 32 active ingredients and five full horsepower drivers. We have cissus quadrangularis and Advantra X in studied weight loss amounts, EGCG (green tea) in studied calorie burning amounts, caffeine in energy and power amounts, creatinol o phosphate is studied lean muscle and heart saving amounts, plus 15 heart healthy vitamins and minerals and vitamins at 150% of RDA. I also have added geranium and dandelion, which protect the liver and make one have that shredded or ripped look. 

What are some of the athletic benefits of taking CARDIASHRED?

Studies show that people run a little bit faster after taking it and build lean muscle mass more effectively.

How often should you take it?

You should take two tablets in the morning and two tablets in the afternoon. It is also recommended to take it 30 minutes before working out.

Are there any famous athletes who are taking CARDIASHED?

Yes, there are a few high-profile bodybuilders who are taking it, but I can’t say who they are yet. The ultimate goal is to expand the brand from bodybuilders to all athletes and sports.

Where will the product be available?

CARDIASHRED will be available exclusively at GNC stores by mid-May.
