The Many Benefits of Chitosan

You may have never heard of chitosan before, but this polysaccharide derived from the shells of crustaceans has some pretty amazing health benefits. Chitosan has been shown to bind to fat and cholesterol in the digestive tract, helping to maintain cholesterol levels already within the 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.

How Chitosan Works

Chitosan is a fiber-like substance that is derived from the shells of crustaceans. This substance has been shown to bind to fats and cholesterol in the digestive tract, which can help to maintain already healthy cholesterol levels. In addition, chitosan has also been shown to promote a healthy weight by preventing the absorption of calories from fat. Chromium is another key ingredient in this formula that aids in glucose metabolism, making it easier for your body to use carbohydrates for energy rather than storing them as fat.

The many benefits of chitosan make it a great addition to any healthy lifestyle. If you are looking for a way to support your cholesterol levels and promote a healthy weight, then consider adding chitosan to your daily routine.
