Chitosan Weight Loss Pill Review
Chitosan Fat Blocker
Chitosan is a fat blocking class of weight loss pill and is branded under many different names. For this review we are only discussing generic Chitosan.
Chitosan is unlike other fat blocking slimming pills in so much as it is derived from the exoskeletons of shellfish - it is a fibre complex consisting of extracts of shrimp and crab.
So very much a seafood cocktail approach to losing weight.
How Does Chitosan Aid Weight Loss
Chitosan, it is claimed, can stop a high proportion of fat being absorbed by the body (fat blocking.) Fat is prevented from being digested by the stomach. So in theory less calorie intake. Chitosan works using the same principle that Xenical Orlistat uses.
Is Chitosan Effective
So far the only research that has been carried out has been on animals. There is no clinical data, proof or evidence to suggest that Chitosan works as a weight loss method for humans.
This is typical example of the weight loss industry's current strategy of getting a diet pill out onto the market and let consumer feedback provide its benefits (if any) and findings.
Chitosan does have some clinical evidence to suggest that it can lower cholesterol levels.
Side Effects Of Chitosan
There is little clinical data or medical results to report if there are any long term or short term side effects.
Should I Use Chitosan To Control My Weight
Chitosan is not recommended as a weight loss supplement - Chitosan can be purchased on the internet or at health food stores with ease but without any certification or medical proof it would unwise to buy Chitosan.
Alternatives To Chitosan
The prescription fat blocker Xenical is a much better option - it is recommended and prescribed by the medical profession the world over. ALthough a dieter will have to meet the criteria set out by most doctors of having a high body mass index (BMI)
Another alternative is Proactol - Proactol is classed as a medical device class 1 and has undergone strict clinical trials and is an over the counter alternative.
