Description
Chitosan is a dietary fiber that holds a positive charge and is extracted from the shells of crustaceans. Since its energy charge is positive, it can be considered "lipophilic", meaning that it has an affinity for and thus binds to negatively charged fatty acids, including cholesterol. The product is formulated with LipoSan ULTRA, designed to dissolve in stomach acid in just one minute.
