LipoSan Ultra Chitosan was developed through a recently patented propriety technology discovered by Vanson, Inc. in 1998. The technology is said to significantly increase the density of regular chitosan. Thus, LipoSan Ultra Chitosan is different from regular chitosan in respect to density of chitosan.

LipoSan Ultra Chitosan is a natural dietary fiber that is composed of chitosan. This substance has long been shown to bind with and prevent the absorption of dietary fat. However, Liposan Ultra works quickly to remove fats and oils from your system naturally. It is an Ephedra-free supplement that takes less than five minutes to dissolve in your stomach. This then means that you can take it right at mealtime, not one hour before like other weight management products.

LipoSan Ultra Chitosan is noted as a safe and effective weight loss supplement when used in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise regimen. Perhaps the true benefit of LipoSan Ultra occurs in the digestive tract. It was observed that when this product is taken at mealtime, its fast solubility is what makes it available to bind with the dietary fat for almost the entire time that the ingested food is in the stomach. The usual time for LipoSan Ultra to perform such duties takes from about 1.5 to 2 hours. By the time the fat or chitosan emulsion reaches the small intestine and starts to gel, the product works to bind far more fat, usually up to three times more than regular chitosan.

When more fat is bound, they are trapped in the LipoSan Ultra Chitosan gel and then covered or protected from enzymatic (lipase) breakdown into absorbable free fatty acids. This trapped fat is now unavailable for absorption and is effectively removed from the body as waste.

The main difference between the regular chitosan and LipoSan Ultra Chitosan lies on the fact that regular chitosan takes well over an hour to break down in the stomach acid. On the other hand, LipoSan Ultra Chitosan requires less than one minute. It was further recognized by the researchers that the high break down rate of this product in stomach acid had the potential to significantly affect its ability to bind fat in the digestive tract compared to the regular chitosan.

LipoSan Ultra Chitosan is meal-specific, although it is generally taken with lunch and dinner. It is important to note that before or after taking this supplement, fat soluble vitamins should be taken first at least four hours before and after LipoSan. And, although there is no research to prove that LipoSan Ultra Chitosan will interfere with the uptake of these vitamins, the logical assumption suggests that it would.

Take before meals with plenty of water to reduce the chance of blockages.

Those who are allergic must avoid this weight loss supplement. The reason is, although the protein is removed during the processing, there is still a great possibility that you may have a reaction and, thus should take this product only under a physician’s direction and supervision.

Those who choose to take the product, or any chitosan product, should follow the label directions. If any side effects occur, discontinue the supplements and consult with your doctor.
