Chitosan from NOW Foods:

Superior And Unique Fat Absorbing Action That's Fast Acting!

Chitosan is a unique fat-absorbing dietary fiber derived from crab chitin. We use Vanson Liposan Ultra Chitosan, which rapidly dissolves (solubilizes) in stomach acid. Greater solubilization means that Chitosan binds to ingested dietary fat almost immediately, greatly reducing the amount absorbed during digestion. Studies show that Lipoosan Ultra Chitosan binds several times more dietary fat than other leading national brands. NOW Chitosan also includes chromium, an essential trace mineral that helps the body maintain normal blood sugar levels.
