Magnetic Belt Support WrapProduct DescriptionThis is a one piece therapeutic waist magnetic support wrap. It has 16 large 800 gauss magnets in the widest center part of the wrap for a total of 12,800 gauss. It is very easy to put on and take off with the stretchable velcro type wrap construction. It is about 5 1/4 inches at the widest point. Each of the attached 2 end straps are about 2 inches wide. It is only about 1/3 inch at the thickest point in the center and about 1/8 inch thick at the ends. What is gauss? Gauss is a commonly used measure of the strength of a magnet. The higher the gauss, the higher the magnetic strength. But gauss is not the only helpful measure of a magnet and can often be misleading. Unfortunately, some sellers make exaggerated claims about gauss and their magnetic therapy products, so be sure to purchase your magnet therapy products from a seller you can trust such as Magnet Jewelry Store. Other factors may impact the results of magnet therapy products such as the proximity, size, and type of magnet. For example, while wearing magnets on one part of your body(a magnetic bracelet on your wrist for example) may affect other problem areas of your body, the proximity of the magnet(s) to a problem area can also be a factor. This can help to explain why a magnetic anklet or magnetic insoles or a magnetic knee wrap can sometimes have a greater impact than a magnetic bracelet for problems in the legs, knees, ankles, and feet. The proximity of magnets may also help to explain why magnetic necklaces can sometimes be a good choice for problems in the head, neck, and back. Results do vary from person to person when using magnetic therapy products. What are rare-earth or neodymium magnets? Rare-earth or neodymium magnets are strong permanent magnets made from alloys of rare earth elements. They are the strongest type of permanent magnets. It is believed by many that the north pole of a magnet can naturally increase circulation and help the body to heal itself. For this reason, most of the magnetic jewelry & magnetic therapy products offered by Magnet Jewelry Store are made with the magnets north pole facing towards the skin.
