Frequently Asked Questions
 

1) What Is LipoSan Ultra™?
The basic raw material used to make LipoSan Ultra™ is chitin. Chitin is a natural biopolymer that is harvested from the shells of shrimp, crab and lobster. LipoSan Ultra is exclusively made using North Atlantic shrimp shell which accounts for its high quality and low lead content.  LipoSan Ultra™ is a patented (US Patent # 6,130,321) product that also contains succinic acid, which is a GRAS (Generally Regarded As Safe) approved food additive.

2) What Makes LipoSan Ultra™ Different From Other Weight Management Products?
LipoSan Ultra™ is an Ephedra-free supplement that takes less than five minutes to dissolve in your stomach. This means you can take it right at mealtime, not one hour before like other weight management products.

3) How Does LipoSan Ultra™ Work?
LipoSan Ultra complexes and traps fats and oils you consume. LipoSan Ultra™ is a natural dietary fiber that is composed of chitosan. Chitosan has been shown to interfere with and prevent the digestion of dietary fat.

4) How Much LipoSan Ultra™ Should I Take?
The weight loss experienced by the subjects in our human study was achieved by using a 1.5 gram dose of LipoSan Ultra™ per fatty meal.

5) How Often Do I Need To Take LipoSan Ultra™?
LipoSan Ultra™ is meal-specific, although generally taken with lunch and dinner. NOTE: Fat-soluble vitamins should be taken at least four hours before or after taking LipoSan Ultra™. Though we have no research to prove that LipoSan Ultra™ will interfere with the uptake of these vitamins, the logical assumption is that it would.

6) How Much Weight Can I Expect To lose By Taking LipoSan Ultra™?
Although results will differ with different individuals, our 8-week human study demonstrated a statistically significant 5-pound weight loss differential between test subjects taking LipoSan Ultra™ and those taking a placebo.

7) Will I Lose More Weight If I Take More LipoSan Ultra™?
Due to stomach volume, the most effective dosage is 1 to 2 grams of LipoSan Ultra™ per fatty meal, accompanied by 8 oz. of water. More than 2 grams will most likely result in some non-dissolved product, which will not absorb any additional fat.

8) How does the Fat Binding with LipoSan Ultra™ differ from Chitosan?
Regular chitosan products take well over an hour to dissolve in your stomach, making it inconvenient for the user. By the time regular chitosan is dissolved, much of the dietary fat will have already been processed and absorbed into the body's system. Based on our laboratory data, LipoSan Ultra™ is rapidly soluble and has the potential to act quickly to bind with the fats and oils that you consume. This means you can take LipoSan Ultra™ right at mealtime..

9) Since LipoSan Ultra™ Is Made From Shellfish, Should I Take It If Have A Shellfish Allergy?
Although the protein is removed during processing, it is possible that you may have a reaction and, thus should take this product only under a physician's direction and supervision.

10) Where Is LipoSan Ultra™ Manufactured?
LipoSan Ultra™ is currently made in Iceland and utilizes high quality North Atlantic shrimp shell. The plant is located on the norhtern coast of Iceland in the city of Siglufjordur.

11) Can I Splurge, Take LipoSan Ultra™ and Still Lose Weight?
LipoSan Ultra™ is not a license to eat more fatty foods. LipoSan Ultra™ is a safe and effective weight-loss agent when used in conjunction with a responsible diet and exercise program.
