Does Dieting With Chitosan Work?
Jerry Hall
If you are planning to down Chitoson in a bid to lose weight
fast, read on first! You may be wasting your heard earned cash
on a diet pill that does not deliver as it should. We do our
best to provide accurate and unbiased information and reviews
on bodybuilding and weight loss supplements, which we hope will
be useful to you. Chitosan is basically a fiber derived from
shellfish and it claims to have the ability to dissolve and
grab hold of fats and cholesterol in the stomach.
You may have seen some outrageous claims that you can eat
whatever you want, and Chitosan will block out all the fat from
the media. Sounds too good to be true doesn't it? You're right,
it is not all that true. Chitosan is extracted from the shell
of crustaceans like shrimp and crab. Contrary to what you might
think, Chitosan has been used for over 30 years. It is not some
new, revolutionary discovery, or new weigh loss miracle pill.
So do not get fooled by the media hype. Note: you shouldn't
take Chitosan if you have any type of shellfish allergies.
Chitosan makes grand promises of 'absorbing' fat and preventing
it from getting into your body. Is it the ultimate 'Fat Blocker'
- or is it? Far from it. Thorough clinical studies on humans
have show that Chitosan does NOT work! Initial Chitosan
research were done on animals, NOT humans. These studies on
animals did show some effectiveness, and did show some
fat-absorbing abilities; however no studies have been done on
the effects of chitosan on dietary fat absorption in humans.
There were NO substantial studies done with humans (if any)
before producing and selling this product to the public. Weight
loss experts all agree that Chitosan simply doesn't work.
Previous studies done on Chitosan were 'small' studies and were
not published in peer reviewed journals. There is no studies
that have found Chitosan to effectively block fat in humans. In
a 1999 study conducted by the European Journal of Clinical
Nutrition, it showed that the Chitosan group who took 8 pills a
day for 4 weeks showed no more weight loss than the placebo
group.
Because few studies have been done on Chitosan, there are
little recorded side effects of Chitosan. No long term studies
have been performed on the side effects of Chitosan, and some
studies have show Chitosan to prevent effective absorption of
minerals and vitamins.
