Chitosan is a fiber composed of chitin, which is a component of the shell of shellfish. 
 
Scientists have processed chitin so that it has a high binding (absorption) affinity for fat and cholesterol in the digestive tract. Fibers such as chitosan can absorb many times their weight of fat and cholesterol. Since cholesterol is normally secreted with the bile and reabsorbed in the intestine, fibers like chitosan can help remove cholesterol from inside the body. The absorbed fat and cholesterol are excreted through the bowel, improving bowel function. 
 
Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) helps activate chitosan in the stomach and intestine into a fat-absorbing gel. It is important to take pure ascorbic acid to enhance the fat-absorbing effects of chitosan. Buffered or mineral ascorbates will not work as well. 
 
This supplement should be taken in conjunction with a healthy diet and regular exercise program. Results may vary

SUGGESTED USAGE
Take one to three capsules with eight ounces of water three times daily with meals, or as recommended by a healthcare practitioner. 
 
Start with one capsule with each meal to allow the body to adjust. 
 
Caution: To avoid the possibility of esophageal obstruction, always take with at least 8 ounces of water. Consume immediately, followed by another glass of water. Do not take fiber supplements with oil-based products such as CLA, perilla oil, fish oil, GLA, or CoQ10. Do not use if abdominal pain, nausea, or vomiting is present. Fiber may decrease the absorption of minerals such as zinc, copper, iron, calcium, and magnesium if used concomitantly.
