Our obsession with fatty foods has exacted an enormous toll in the form of rampant obesity, clogged arteries, hypertension, heart attack, stroke, breast cancer, etc. The diet and lifestyles of western cultures has been determined to be major contributing factors in diseases such as heart disease, diabetes and cancer. The most commonly cited factors are inadequate fiber intake, excessive consumption of fats, and a lack of exercise. In promoting good health, it is essential to reduce the amount of fat intake into our bodies. ChitoThin is an all natural product which is derived from the polysaccharide chitin.
Chitin is found in the exo-skeletons of shrimp, crabs and other shellfish.
The ChitoThin has the unique ability to attach itself to lipids or fats. There are no calories in ChitoThin since it is not digestible. ChitoThin attaches to fat in the stomach before it is metabolized. The ChitoThin traps the fat and prevents its absorption in the digestive tract. The fat binds to the ChitoThin fiber and becomes a large mass which the body cannot absorb.
