FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Thompson's Fat Blocker is a natural product that contains extra strength 500mg Chitosan with vitamin C to help reduce the absorption of dietary fat absorption in the body.
A reduction in the daily intake of fat and an increase in dietary fibre, combined with moderate exercise can decrease the chances of chronic disease, helping to achieve and maintain good health.
Chitosan is an aminopolysaccharide derived from ‘chitin’ found in plankton and the exoskeleton (shells) of crustaceans such as shrimp, lobster and crab. Chitosan is processed to create a fibre with a magnetic binding affinity for fat, triglycerides and cholesterol in the digestive tract. This binding occurs when positively charged Chitosan binds with negatively charged fat and bile acids. The binding of these fat and cholesterol molecules to Chitosan prevents them from being absorbed into the bloodstream, allowing them to be eliminated via the bowel. Numerous studies show that Chitosan has many health benefits including:
Thompson's Fat Blocker also contains Vitamin C, acknowledged as the most important nutrient for increasing the effectiveness of Chitosan. Chitosan is a safe natural substance, biodegradable and environmentally biocompatible.
