## Description

Super Fat Absorbing Action* Supports Cholesterol Levels Already Within the Healthy Range* Chitosan is a polysaccharide derived from the shells of crustaceans that can bind to fat and cholesterol in the digestive tract, helping to maintain cholesterol levels already within healthy range.* NOW® Chitosan features LipoSan ULTRA®, a unique high-density form of chitosan that, in laboratory testing, binds up to five times more fat than conventional chitosan.* A clinical study has demonstrated that LipoSan ULTRA® may aid in supporting a healthy body weight.* Chromium, a mineral essential for normal glucose metabolism, has been included to complete this formula.* Natural color variation may occur in this product.

Review: Helps cut the fat from your food - So like a lot of us I don't always eat the best for myself. I found Chitosan years ago and fell in love with it. If you have a shellfish allergy then AVOID this otherwise it's a great way to help cut fat from your diet. It's been around a lot longer than the RX products that do the same, what does it do? It absorbs fats from your foods so that your body doesn't digest them. I take them with a high fat meal and personally I believe it helps.
Review: Removed Heavy Feeling / Bloating - This product helped remove the heavy feeling from digesting fatty foods, since my normal supplier discontinued their product.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can these capsules be opened & put in water or juice?**
A: I asked the company and says they do not suggest opening the capsule as the chitosan could irritate the throat.

**Q: Is there rice flour in this?**
A: No. It contains chromium, chitosan, cellulose, stearic acid and silica. Also contains shellfish (shrimp).

**Q: Other chitosan supplement labels say to drink water with it.  Does these capsules have to be drank with water also since it is shellfish fiber?**
A: I have just gone over the entire label.  I see no mention of water at all.  
I open the capsule for my small dog and mix the powder with pumpkin and/or yogurt. Since the Chitosan acts as a thickener I do add a little water just to make mixing it easier to assure it's a smooth mix while he is dancing around at my feet waiting to lap it up.

**Q: Where is it made ? Country of Origin ?**
A: Bloomingdale IL USA

This product helped remove the heavy feeling from digesting fatty foods, since my normal supplier discontinued their product.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ You got to try it!
*by H***R on July 8, 2018*

I have only taken this a few days, but I just have to tell you....IT WORKS! I have taken 6 capsules at my main meal of the day as directed by my Life Extension treatment book and have experienced easy bowel movements like I used to have when younger instead of sitting on the toilet 15 minutes with poor or no movement...I am 75 years old and have had constipation problems for the past 15 years or so, even after taking Miralax every night or early mornings on an empty stomach. I'll give another report in a month or so....Thanks Amazon for your great price and fast Prime delivery.
