LipoSan Ultra™ is a unique, patented product.  Processing starts with chitosan and ends up as something that is completely different.  Succinic acid, a GRAS food additive, is incorporated into the chitosan to significantly alter its physical structure.  The result is a highly integrated organic acid/fiber matrix that readily solubilizes in the equivalent of stomach acid in less than 5 minutes.  This is in comparison to regular chitosan that can take upwards of 2 hours to dissolve.

The difference between LipoSan Ultra™ and chitosan is dramatic.  When added to acid in the presence of vegetable oil, LipoSan Ultra™ is almost immediately capable of emulsifying the fat with minimal agitation while regular chitosan fails to fully dissolve and, thus, binds little or no oil.

To dieters, the difference can be just as dramatic.  In 2001, a double-blind, placebo controlled human trial involving 59 overweight but otherwise healthy women demonstrated that LipoSan Ultra™ (not chitosan) is effective for facilitating weight loss and reducing body fat.

What makes these results truly impressive is that the weight loss was achieved without dieting or special exercise and is, therefore, directly attributable to LipoSan Ultra™.  This means that the average dieter who tries but has difficulty maintaining a low caloric diet and/or fails to exercise sufficiently has an added weight loss tool, LipoSan Ultra™.
