Chitosan capsules

Chitosan products are made from fibrous material derived from the exoskeleton of shellfish. Chitosan is claimed to be a fat blocker. We have even read some chitosan reviews claiming that the product enables you to lose weight while you can eat whatever you want.

Sounds great, but unfortunately there’s no such miracle. These claims are not backed by sufficient evidence and clinical studies.

It is clinically proven that Chitosan capsules can actually lower cholesterol levels. Chitosan studies show that the active ingredient can also absorb fat partially, however, most of these studies were conducted on animals. We could not find any absolute results from studies that were carried out on human volunteers. On the contrary, the general impression of experts about Chitosan is that it is not an effective weight loss product.

Conclusion

Chitosan is sold as an expensive fat blocker on the market. If you are planning to use it for cholesterol management purposes, you can find many other products which are cheaper and much more effective. We do not recommend Chitosan for weight loss, as there’s not enough evidence about its efficiency.

If you are looking for a fat blocker, we recommend Proactol, for it can actually bind %28 of your fat intake.
