Chitosan

Chitosan absorbs fat from food and reduces body fat.

Take 1 to 3 capsules for each fat rich meal.

Chitosan is a fiber-based fat blocker that comes from the shells of shellfish. Chitosan is a positively charged compound so it is able to attract and bind to fatty acids (which carry a negative charge). As such, Chitosan can absorb up to 4-6 times its weight in fat (including cholesterol) and inhibit that fat from being absorbed into the body.

If you miss a dose of this medicine and you are using it regularly, take it as soon as possible. If you do not remember until later, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.

Store at the room temperature away from moisture and sunlight. Keep out of the reach of children.

A high quality essential fatty acid supplement such as flax seed oil, along with ample supplemental fat soluble nutrients vitamins A, D, E, and K should be taken at a meal apart from Chitosan supplementation. Drink at least 64 oz, or 8 full glasses of pure water a day. Anyone under medical care for degenerative conditions, or using medication, should consult a health professional before using Chitosan. Avoid this product if you are allergic to shellfish, pregnant or lactating. Not recommended for children or teenagers.

Those allergic to shellfish also may experience allergies to Chitosan products.

Chitosan's properties allow rapidly clot blood, and has recently gained approval in the USA for use in bandages. The bandages include a layer of carefully produced Chitosan that, when applied to a wound, causes rapid clotting, stopping the bleeding.
