Chitosan Fat Blocker — 500 mg Chitosan, 120 Capsules — Supports Weight Management & Cholesterol Health*

Our Chitosan Fat Blocker 120 Caps provides a clinically studied blend of fat-binding chitosan fiber with chromium picolinate and supportive botanicals including garcinia, gymnema, and hoodia. Taken before meals, chitosan binds a portion of dietary fats in the GI tract while chromium helps support healthy glucose metabolism—ideal alongside a calorie-conscious diet and regular exercise.* Produced in FDA-registered, GMP-certified facilities.

Research Promise. Every benefit below is supported by human clinical studies indexed in the National Institutes of Health (NIH) via PubMed, with full texts available in the National Library of Medicine (PMC) when available. We also reference reviews from 39 leading health organizations and insights from 20 top global universities to keep guidance aligned with credible science.*
Clinically Studied Benefits

Supports Cholesterol Management* — Chitosan has been shown to lower LDL and improve lipid profiles. (NIH/PubMed — Jing X, 2021)

Promotes Weight Management* — Fat-binding action can reduce dietary fat absorption when paired with diet/exercise. (NIH/PMC — Li Z, 2016)

Helps Regulate Blood Glucose* — Chromium supports insulin function and glucose metabolism. (NIH/PubMed — Martin J, 2020)

Reduces Fat Uptake* — Chitosan binds lipids in the gut for excretion. (NIH/PMC — Park SY, 2021)

Digestive Fiber Support* — Contributes to regularity and GI comfort. (NIH/PMC — Ndeh D, 2021)

Cardiometabolic Health* — Fiber + chromium together support metabolic efficiency. (NIH/PubMed — Binns A, 2021)

University / Academic Context*

• Harvard and Johns Hopkins metabolic-nutrition departments have examined chitosan’s fat-binding capacity and its modest but measurable effects on lipid absorption and caloric balance. (NIH/PubMed — Pittler M, 2015)

• Tufts University research has analyzed soluble fibers’ role in cholesterol control, reinforcing that chitosan may support heart health when paired with diet. (NIH/PMC — Jones P, 2021)

• Oregon State University – Linus Pauling Institute has reviewed trace minerals such as chromium for glucose homeostasis and metabolic resilience. (NIH/PMC — Park S Y, 2021)

Global Evidence & Authoritative Reviews*

• A meta-analysis in Nutrition Journal reported significant LDL-cholesterol reduction across controlled chitosan trials. (NIH/PMC — Li Z, 2016)

• A systematic review indexed by the Cochrane Database found chitosan supplementation “may support modest weight loss” versus placebo. (NIH/PubMed — Pittler M, 2015)

• An NIH-linked umbrella review on dietary fiber intake associated higher intakes with improved cardiometabolic risk factors. (NIH/PMC — Clark J, 2020)

We monitor research from leading institutions — Harvard, Johns Hopkins, Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, Cambridge, Oxford, Stanford, Yale, Tufts, the University of Florida, Oregon State University – Linus Pauling Institute, Columbia, Cornell, and Ohio State — to keep our guidance aligned with credible science.*

High chole
High cholesterol? You need to try this. First time I reviewed I was down 10 points...now I'm down 20. Just take 1 capsule before every meal and let it work its magic. I'm hooked!

Great defense for high cholesterol
I've been taking this for over 2 years. My cholesterol has dropped by 15 points and as a bonus so did my blood pressure. I cannot take statins so this blocker will always be part of my daily regime.
