Ingredients explained
Chitosan (LipoSan ULTRA)
Chitosan is a positively charged fiber that can bind dietary fats and bile acids in the gut, which may reduce their absorption and increase elimination.
Caution: Take medications and fat-soluble vitamins A, D, and K at least 4 hours apart to avoid reduced absorption; avoid use if you have a shellfish allergy as it is derived from shrimp.
Calcium
Calcium supports normal muscle and nerve function and acts as a mineral cofactor in many cellular processes.
Caution: Separate from high-dose iron or certain thyroid medications to avoid interference with absorption.
How they work together
Chitosan acts in the digestive tract to bind fats, while calcium provides a small amount of essential mineral support that does not interfere when spaced appropriately from other nutrients.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: For adults only. Consult a healthcare provider before use if pregnant or nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition.
Who should be cautious: People with shellfish allergies should avoid this product. Those taking fat-soluble vitamins A, D, or K, or oil-based supplements may need to separate timing by at least 4 hours for absorption. People taking medications should separate dosing by at least 4 hours and consult a healthcare provider before use.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place.
