Why It Works

Benefits

Chitosan After Diet delivers comprehensive after-meal support through six carefully selected ingredients, each serving a specific function.

1

Fat Support with Chitosan

Chitosan (1000mg per 12 tablets) is an animal fiber derived from crab shells. When taken after meals containing oily foods, chitosan works in the digestive system to support the body's natural fat management processes. This is why Japanese consumers have trusted it for over 25 years.

25-Year Market Validation
2

Sugar & Carb Support with Gymnema

Gymnema Sylvestre (600mg) is known as 'Gurmar' in Hindi, meaning 'sugar destroyer.' This traditional herb supports the body when consuming sweets and carbohydrates. Combined with chitosan's fat support, it provides dual-action coverage for indulgent meals.

Traditional Ayurvedic Ingredient
3

Digestive Regularity with Fiber

The formula includes Kidachi Aloe Extract (450mg) and Psyllium Husk (300mg)—both excellent sources of dietary fiber. These ingredients support healthy digestion and promote daily regularity, helping you feel comfortable after meals.

Fiber-Rich Formula
4

Metabolism Support with Thermogenic Capsicum

Capsicum/Red Pepper (100mg) provides natural thermogenic support, while the Mucopolysaccharide Protein Complex (350mg) offers additional support for both sweets and oily foods. B-vitamins and minerals round out this comprehensive formula.

Multi-Ingredient Synergy

The Science

How It Works

Understanding how Chitosan After Diet's six-ingredient formula supports your body after meals.

Chitosan: The Fat-Binding Fiber

Chitosan: The Fat-Binding Fiber

Chitosan is a natural animal fiber derived from crab shells. At 1000mg per serving, it's the primary active ingredient in this formula.

How it works:
  • Chitosan carries a positive electrical charge
  • Dietary fats carry a negative charge
  • When taken after oily meals, chitosan binds with fats in the digestive system
  • This supports the body's natural fat management processes

This is why the product is called "After Diet"—it's designed to take after eating, not before.
Gymnema: The Sugar Destroyer

Gymnema: The Sugar Destroyer

Gymnema Sylvestre (600mg) complements chitosan by targeting sweets and carbohydrates.

Known as "Gurmar" in Hindi—meaning "sugar destroyer"—this plant has an interesting property: when you chew its leaves, you temporarily can't taste sweetness.

Together with chitosan, Gymnema provides dual-action support for both fat and sugar—comprehensive coverage for indulgent meals.
