Vita-Fit Biotrim Chitosan is an indigestable fibre shown to have an affinity to attract fat. It is beneficial for a cholesterol lowering or weight reduction programme. It is made more effective by including Citric and Ascorbic acids.
Chitosan is a dietary fiber derived from chitin. Chitin is an aminopolysaccharide (combination of sugar and protein) that comes from the shells of shellfish.Because chitosan is a positively charged compound, it is able to attract and bind to fatty acids (which carry a negative charge). As such, chitosan can absorb up to 4-6 times its weight in fat (including cholesterol) and prevent that fat from being absorbed into the body.
Dosage: Take 4 capsules with food especially when there is a high fat content in your diet. Ensure you drink 6 glasses of water per day.
Caution: Not to be taken when pregnant or breastfeeding, immediately after surgery or when ill.
