Ultimate Nutrition FAT BLOC Chitosan 500 90 Capsules
Ultimate Nutrition Chitosan 500 FAT BLOC 90 Capsules Per Bottle Chitosan is a naturally occurring fiber derived from the complex sugar found in the shells of shrimp, crabs and other shellfish. Chitosan has the capacity to bind lipids and fats and stands out for its ability to trap fat before it is absorbed in the body. More importantly, since it is not digested, chitosan has no calories. Upon oral ingestion, chitosan binds to the intestinal lining, where it tightly binds dietary fats and lipids before they are absorbed in the body. As a result, the dietary fat is prevented from entering into the bloodstream. When dietary fat is bound to the chitosan fiber, it becomes a large mass, which cannot be absorbed in the body. Chitosan fibers differ in their structure from other fibers in that chitosan possesses a net positive charge. This positive charge attracts negative charges on the fats, lipids and bile acids. Since chitosan fiber is not metabolized, it is cleared from the body along with.
Published reports have shown that chitosan works in concert with Vitamin C. It has been suggested that the action of chitosan may be nehanced by as small an amount of Vitamin C as 10mg. Used alone, ingestion of 500mg chitosan before a meal rich in fat helps reduce "bad" (LDL) cholesterol. The "bad" cholesterol is bound to bile acids secreted by the liver into the intestine, where its reabsorption is prevented by chitosan fibers.
This dietary fiber is an indispensable adjunct to a balanced weight management program. Fibers also play an important role in cleansing the gastrointestinal tract, which stimulates the digestive processes and promotes intestinal health.
