Chitosan
Nature's "Fat Grabber"
Chitosan is a weight-loss aid from the sea.
Chitosan, a fibrous material derived from the outer shell (exoskeleton) of crustaceans,
absorbs dietary fat and carries it through
the G.I. tract without being digested. Chitosan
also helps lower cholesterol
levels. Unlike dangerous and ineffective diet drugs which
have marginal weight-loss benefits, chitosan has proven more effective for
weight loss. It also has been seen to lower blood pressure in weight loss
studies.
Chitosan is also effective
in kidney disease and kidney failure, helping prevent further deterioration
of function.
Dosage: For
weight loss, take 6 capsules at
the beginning of a high-fat meal. Be sure to drink 8 ounces of water with
each dose. For kidney failure, 3-6 caps, 3 times per day
between meals or as directed by a physician.
Dr. Myatt's Comment:
Use with high-fat meals. Great support formula for
weight loss plans. Because your body needs certain
fats (Essential Fatty Acids), and fat-soluble vitamins, chitosan is not
recommended for use at every meal, only high-fat meals.
Each capsule contains: Chitosan, 450 mg.
