Information about the ingredients :
Chitosan, derived from shellfish. Once activated in the stomach, Chitosan binds to fatty acids, which are the primary components of dietary fats. Because the body cannot digest Chitosan molecules, the fatty acids that are bound to the Chitosan and are eliminated from the large intestine without being absorbed by the body. Combined with Vitamin C for enhanced absorbtion, and Gynmenna Sylevestra to promote blood sugar stabalization and HCA to help aid in transporting fatty tissue. In a recent clinical study in Helsinki, the results were more pronounced. An average of 8% of TOTAL body weight (15lbs pp) was lost in a 4 week period with Chitosan supplementation. Chitosan has also been proved effective at reducing cholesterol. Studies have shown cholesterol reduction of up to 32% over a 5 week period. At the same time Chitosan appears to moderately increase HDL (good) cholesterol, which keeps the arteries free of athersclerotic plaque.!
