How does Chitosan work?
Chitosan, an active ingredient in Puristat’s Absorb is a fat grabber. Chitosan attracts fat, soaks up fat, and traps fat in the digestive system. Once activated in the stomach, Chitosan binds to fatty acids and carries them through the digestive system, without being absorbed. This helps to reduce the amount of fat calories absorbed by the body.
Studies have shown that Chitosan can attract and hold up to 6 times its weight in fat for safe elimination. Another benefit of Chitosan is its ability to reduce and maintain healthy cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
If you are allergic to shrimp or shellfish you should not take Chitosan. For more information on Puristat’s Absorb with Chitosan, visit www.puristat.com
