LipoSan Ultra

Chitosan is an aminopolysaccharide derived from chitin, which is naturally found in the exoskeletons of shellfish and in the cell walls of all animals. It is known for its lipid-binding qualities in the human digestive tract. While many weight management supplements rely on stimulating metabolism, chitosan is a non-stimulant approach that limits the amount of lipids actually entering the bloodstream.*

Our particular chitosan ingredient is rapidly soluble in the stomach. Taken at mealtime, it is “lipophilic” (fat-loving) and it appears to block the digestion of fat. Although the research is not conclusive, one explanation of the mechanism involved is that chitosan naturally emulsifies or binds with dietary fat globules as they are released from ingested food in the stomach and digestive tract. As emulsified fat passes from the stomach to the small intestine, it naturally creates an insoluble matrix around the lipids. This makes it difficult for the enzyme lipase to reach the fat and reduce it to free fatty acids, which would then normally be absorbed into the bloodstream.  Instead the fats are passed through the digestive system as waste.

This results in positive implications for those looking for stimulant-free natural support for healthy weight management. It can also help to maintain healthy cholesterol levels.*

The Primex Difference

Trusted Icelandic marine biotech company, Primex, has a patented manufacturing process for enhancing chitosan derived from coldwater shrimp (Pandalus borealis). Some chitosan products have limited fat-binding capacity and need to be taken up to an hour ahead of a meal, making the supplement both inconvenient and questionable in its efficacy. The Primex-owned patent has successfully remedied both issues by adding GRAS-certified succinic acid to its chitosan ingredient. The succinic acid alters the physical structure of the chitosan, making it rapidly soluble in stomach acid (within five minutes of consumption) and immediately effective at binding with lipids during a given meal.*

• Derived from shrimp harvested in the cold North Atlantic meeting a strict quota system for sustainable harvesting.
• The only positively charged linear chitosan polymer on the market that is specifically designed to successfully bind with and eliminate lipids when ingested.*
• Proven in human clinical studies.
• Convenient – taken at mealtime.
• Safe and natural dietary fiber combined with GRAS-certified succinic acid.
• No stimulants or unnecessary additives or fillers. 

LipoSan Ultra is meal specific; its effects are gleaned each time it is taken with a fatty meal—typically lunch and dinner. For best results, 1-1.5g should be taken at mealtime along with two glasses of water. Weight management goals are best achieved through a comprehensive lifestyle program integrating healthy diet and exercise.*

While lipid-binding supplements are not a license to over-eat, they can be very helpful when combined with a comprehensive lifestyle program including healthy diet and exercise. All individuals should speak with a physician before incorporating weight management supplements into a whole health regimen.*
