Not causing constipation/bloating
Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2022
I am taking these to see if they will lower my creatinine levels. I have CKD stage 3b so...Pros:--The ingredients list doesn't include the added calcium & phosphorous - 2 minerals I need to avoid or limit with CKD. Most of the other brands showed having as much as 200mg of calcium & 150+ of phosphorus.-- After taking up to 4 capsules a day for the past 4 days, I am not experiencing constipation or bloating mentioned by some other reviewers. The supplement actually seems to be regulating my body.--Though the capsules are standard size, they go down pretty easily with a lot of water before and after.Cons:-- At $0.12/count these are slightly pricier than other brands. There are even brands cheaper with double the dosage.--There is the slightest taste of fishy-ness if the caps linger in your mouth. There is no after taste though.Overall, I am not sure if this will lower my creatinine and that is the goal. I will give it 4 stars for not causing bloating & then do an update if needed.

My dog has high cholesterol from certain medical conditions and his vet recommended trying Chitosan first before resorting to a medication, as cholesterol lowering medications for dogs are not as effective as they are for humans, and the research thus far hasn't established that they work in the same way. It is difficult to evaluate this product because I won't know the true impact until my dog's next round of blood work, which isn't for a few months. But so far, I can say that he seems to be tolerating taking this supplement once a day. I give it about 10-20 minutes before his meal. Please note, however, that if you (or your dog, if you're using these for your dog) are on any type of medication that needs to be taken with food - fat soluble medication - that you cannot take Chitosan before meals, you will need to wait a few hours after eating. Otherwise, you will reduce the efficacy of your medication and cause other problems.
When researching on Amazon for different options of Chitosan supplements, I was disheartened to see that there seem to be many unknown companies peddling Chitosan supplements as a miracle weight loss cure. It is not a miracle weight loss cure. If you read the medical research, it does have some positive results in terms of helping to lower cholesterol, and some people *may* also experience some weight loss. But this is not a miracle weight loss pill. Because of all of the products labeled as a weight loss cure, it was very difficult to ascertain which, of any, of the manufacturers can be trusted. I finally settled on purchasing the NOW brand of Chitosan because I have used the brand's vitamins and supplements in the past and see them for sale at reputable retailers like Whole Foods.
The capsules themselves are quite large. I would have trouble swallowing them myself, but thankfully my dog has been able to swallow them when wrapped in cream cheese. I wish NOW offered a lower dosage in a smaller size.
