NOW Foods Chitosan – 500mg, 120 Capsules | Fat Binding & Weight Management

Chitosan is a fibre made from the shells of shellfish. It carries a positive charge, which lets it bind to dietary fat in the gut so that some of it passes through rather than being absorbed. NOW's version pairs it with chromium. Because it is shellfish-derived, it is not suitable for anyone with a shellfish allergy.

Why people take it

• Binds dietary fat in the digestive tract
• Taken alongside meals as part of a weight-management routine
• Paired with chromium in this formula
• Not suitable if you have a shellfish allergy

How to take
