Now Foods Chitosan 240 Caps - 1,000mcg Per 2 Caps
TV Doctor Customers: This Chitosan supplement supplies 500mcg per capsule. We recommend taking 2 capsules per day to meet TV Doctor's 7 day weight loss plan. This supplement comes from the exoskeleton of shellfish, like shrimp and crabs, and acts as a barrier inside your intestines. When you ingest fatty foods, the fat enters the intestines through your stomach, mixing with bile and getting absorbed into your system through the intestine wall. The chistosan helps stop this from happening, by protecting the intestine wall from absorbing damaging substances while letting through healthy ones.

Chitosan- Superior Fat Absorbing Action Chitosan is a unique fat-absorbing dietary fiber derived from crab chitin. We use Vanson Liposan Ultra® Chitosan, which rapidly dissolves (solubilizes) in stomach acid. Greater solubilization means that Chitosan binds to ingested dietary fat almost immediately, greatly reducing the amount absorbed during digestion. Studies show that Lipoosan Ultra® Chitosan binds several times more dietary fat than other leading national brands.* Look for this and other fine NOW® products in health food stores nationwide.
