Take before high-fat meals to support weight maintenance after dieting. This pharmaceutical-grade Japanese chitosan supplement blocks dietary fat absorption (~50-100 calories per meal), helping you maintain your hard-won results while enjoying dining out. With 95%+ purity and strategic meal-specific use, you don't need it every day—just when eating fatty foods.

Chitosan is a dietary supplement that is derived from chitin, a natural polymer found in the shells of crustaceans like shrimp and crabs. Here are some potential health benefits attributed to chitosan supplements.

  • Weight Management: Chitosan can be used as a weight loss supplement due to its purported ability to bind to dietary fat in the digestive tract, preventing its absorption and subsequently reducing caloric intake.

  • Cholesterol Management: There is some evidence to suggest that chitosan may help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol levels by binding to bile acids in the intestine, which can lead to increased excretion of cholesterol. However, the impact on cholesterol levels may not be substantial, and it's not a substitute for other proven methods of cholesterol management, such as a healthy diet and exercise.

  • Blood Sugar Regulation: Some research has shown that chitosan might have a positive impact on blood sugar levels by slowing down carbohydrate absorption in the digestive tract. This could potentially benefit individuals with diabetes or those at risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

  • Digestive Health: Chitosan has been suggested to have prebiotic properties, meaning it might support the growth and activity of beneficial gut bacteria. A healthy gut microbiota is associated with various aspects of overall health, including digestion, immune function, and metabolism.

How It Works +

TIMING IS EVERYTHING

Take 2 capsules 15-30 minutes BEFORE eating high-fat meals (not after). This allows chitosan to bind with dietary fat during digestion. Not effective with carb-heavy meals.

Chitosan is a natural fiber derived from shellfish that carries a positive electrical charge. When you take it before eating, it binds with negatively charged dietary fats in your digestive system, forming a gel-like substance that your body cannot absorb. This bound fat is then eliminated naturally, blocking approximately 3-5% of dietary fat intake.

Our pharmaceutical-grade Japanese chitosan features 95%+ deacetylation purity compared to generic brands (80-85%), meaning superior fat-binding efficacy with fewer digestive side effects. This high purity ensures each capsule works more effectively, blocking roughly 50-100 calories per fatty meal.

Use strategically before restaurant meals, celebrations, or when dining out—not with every meal. This flexible approach supports weight maintenance without the exhaustion of constant dieting, allowing you to protect your progress while living your life.

Direction For Use +
  1. TIMING: Take 15-30 minutes BEFORE high-fat meals for optimal fat-binding effectiveness (most important)
  2. DOSAGE: Take 2 capsules with a full glass (8 oz) of water
  3. MEAL SELECTION: Use before fatty meals like restaurant dining, fried foods, creamy dishes, red meat
  4. NOT NEEDED: Skip for carb-heavy meals (pasta, bread, rice) or low-fat meals—saves money, more effective
  5. HYDRATION: Drink 8+ glasses of water throughout the day to support digestion
  6. FREQUENCY: Strategic use 3-5 times per week as needed, not required daily
  7. CONSISTENCY: For best maintenance results, use regularly when consuming high-fat meals over 3+ months

Important: Do not exceed recommended dosage. If you forget to take before eating, do not take afterward—it will not be effective once fat is already being digested.

FAQ

1. Should I take chitosan before or after meals?
Always take 2 capsules 15–30 minutes before meals. Chitosan binds dietary fat during digestion, blocking absorption. Taking it afterward won’t work, as the fat will already be absorbed.
2. What makes this the best chitosan supplement compared to others?
Our Japanese pharmaceutical-grade chitosan offers over 95% deacetylation purity versus 80–85% in generic types, delivering stronger fat-binding, fewer digestive issues, and cleaner, GMP-certified production for consistent, reliable results every time.
3. What are the benefits of chitosan for weight maintenance?
Chitosan blocks about 3–5% of dietary fat, equal to 50–100 calories per meal. It’s best for maintaining weight, offering flexibility without stimulants, and supporting balanced eating—not for rapid fat loss.
4. Is this a Japanese chitosan supplement? Why does that matter?
Yes, it’s made in Japan under strict pharmaceutical-grade standards. With over 95% purity, traceable sourcing, advanced extraction, and thorough safety testing, it ensures superior fat-binding, consistency, and safety compared to lower-quality imports.
5. Will this help me lose weight?
This product supports weight maintenance, not active fat loss. Chitosan blocks only about 3–5% of dietary fat—ideal for preventing regain after reaching your goal weight, not for creating a calorie deficit.
6. Can I take this long-term?
Chitosan is safe for long-term use, non-habit forming, and recognized as a natural dietary fiber. Use it 3–5 times weekly, stay hydrated, and take vitamins separately to maintain balanced nutrition and safety.
7. What should I eat/avoid while taking this? When is it effective?
Chitosan is most effective with high-fat meals such as fried foods, creamy pasta, burgers, steak, pizza, or rich desserts like cheesecake and ice cream. Skip it for light meals—use only when dishes contain 20g+ fat.
How long does one bottle last?
A bottle lasts 30–60 days depending on how often you use it: Strategic use (3–5 times/week): 6–10 weeks per bottle Daily use (1 meal/day): 4–5 weeks Twice daily: 2–3 weeks Use chitosan only with high-fat meals to stay cost-effective.
