Product Description

Chitosan is a fiber composed of chitin, which is a component of the shell of shellfish. Scientists have processed chitin so that it has a high binding (absorption) affinity for fat and cholesterol in the digestive tract. Fibers such as chitosan can absorb many times their weight of fat and cholesterol. Since cholesterol is normally secreted with the bile and reabsorbed in the intestine, fibers like chitosan can help remove cholesterol from inside the body. The absorbed fat and cholesterol are excreted through the bowel, improving bowel function. Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) helps activate chitosan in the stomach and intestine into a fat-absorbing gel. It is important to take pure ascorbic acid to enhance the fat-absorbing effects of chitosan. Buffered or mineral ascorbates will not work as well. Supplement to be taken in conjunction with a healthy diet and regular exercise program. Results may vary.
