Now Foods Chitosan

Overview

Now Foods Chitosan is a dietary supplement designed around a high-strength chitosan formula with added chromium. Each serving provides 1,500 mg of chitosan from LipoSan ULTRA®, a concentrated form of chitosan that the brand says is designed to bind fat in the digestive tract more effectively than conventional chitosan. The formula is positioned for weight management support and for helping maintain cholesterol levels that are already within the healthy range.

Chitosan is a polysaccharide derived from crustacean shells. In this product, it is paired with chromium, a mineral involved in normal glucose metabolism, to round out the formula. According to the description, the chitosan component is intended to help bind fat and cholesterol during digestion, while the added chromium contributes nutritional support to the overall product.

The supplement comes in capsule form and is presented as a non-GMO, halal, GMP quality assured product. It is also made and quality tested in the USA with globally sourced ingredients.
