Ingredients explained
Chitosan (shellfish)
Chitosan is a non-digestible fibre that can bind dietary fats and bile acids in the gut, which may reduce their absorption and support regularity.
Caution: Avoid if you are allergic to shellfish, as it is derived from crustaceans; take fat-soluble vitamins, essential fatty acids, and medicines at a different time because binding in the gut may reduce their uptake.

Overview
- Marine Sourced
- Functional Fibre
- Dietary Supplement
- Lifestyle Care
Chitosan is an insoluble or non-digestible fibre. Marine-sourced chitosan is produced from chitin, which is part of the shells of crustaceans including shrimp, crabs, and lobsters.
- Digestive Support: Some studies suggest that a diet rich in fibre can help reduce the transit time of foods in the digestive system, leaving less time for fat to be available for absorption.
- No Additional Calories: Where Chitosan cannot be digested, there is no caloric value, making it a beneficial tool for a healthy lifestyle.
- Lifestyle Management Support: When taken before meals, Chitosan can be used as a functional fibre that may help provide nutritive support for healthy lifestyle management.
