Now Foods Chitosan 500 mg with Chromium 240 Veg. Capsules #2026
Now Foods Chitosan is a dietary fiber derived from the shells of crustaceans that has been shown in non clinical studies to bind to fat and cholesterol in the digestive tract. Now Foods Chitosan contains LipoSan Ultra, a patented high density form of Chitosan that binds up to five times more fat than conventional Chitosan according to laboratory testing. A published clinical study has demonstrated that LipoSan Ultra, taken as directed, may aid in the support of healthy body weight and serum cholesterol levels already within the normal range. Now Foods has also included Chromium in this formula. Chromium is an essential trace mineral that works with insulin to support healthy blood glucose levels already within the normal range and plays an important role in the proper utilization of protein, fat and carbohydrates.
What is chitosan capsules used for?
Chitosan could be used to treat obesity, high cholesterol, and Crohn's disease. It is also could be used to treat complications that kidney failure patients on dialysis often face, including high cholesterol, “tired blood” (anemia), loss of strength and appetite, and trouble sleeping (insomnia).
Chitosan is a fiber like supplement that has been shown to lower cholesterol and raise HDL (good) cholesterol). The fiber-like supplement appears to reduce the absorption of bile acids or cholesterol, either of these effects may cause a lowering of blood cholesterol.
