Zao® Chitosan is a unique fat-absorbing dietary fiber that inhibits the absorption of dietary fat during digestion.  Zao® Chitosan dissolves rapidly in stomach acid and almost immediately begins binding to ingested dietary fat, greatly reducing the amount that is absorbed during digestion.*  It has been shown to bind to fat and cholesterol in the digestive tract.* 

 

Zao® Chitosan is derived from the chitin shellfish.  Chitin is a polysaccharide found in the exoskeletons of shellfish and crustaceans.  It is a unique dietary fiber that is indigestible, so it does not contribute to the amount of ingested carbohydrates.*

 

Chromium has been included in this formula of Chitosan. Chromium is an essential trace mineral that works with insulin to support healthy blood glucose levels already within the normal range. It plays an important role in the proper utilization of protein, fat, and carbohydrates.*
