Eclipse 2000 Chitosan - The Fat Blocker! Chitosan is a natural fiber used by dieters to prevent
absorption of digested dietary fats. Due to its positive ionic charge, Chitosan
may have the ability to attract and discharge these fats and prevent it from
accumulating as body fat.
Chitosan, which is the deacetylated form
of chitin, is derived from the shells of crustaceans. This unique compound contains a
strong positive charge, which causes it to bind to negatively charged substances such as fats.
Chitin supplementation in animal studies has been shown to bind to fat in the intestine, thus
blocking absorption and helping maintain healthy cholesterol levels.(1) This supplement
may provide a caloric decrease via its fat blocking properties which may result in
weight loss.
