What Is Chitosan HD?

Chitosan is produced by the hydrolysis of chitin, a naturally occurring polysaccharide component of shellfish shell and has been shown to bind fat lipids. This fat binding, lipotropic effect may be explained by its flocculation and gelation properties in the intestinal tract. LipoSan Ultra™ Chitosan HD is a new, ultra-dense form of Chitosan; the "HD" meaning "high density".

Chitosan is soluble in stomach acid and its amino groups become positively charged via proteination by the stomach acid. In the presence of dietary fatty acids, which carry negative charges, ionic bonds form that bind the fatty acids to the Chitosan's amino groups.

As the soluble Chitosan/fatty acid complex moves into the small intestine, it also binds with bile acids and cholesterol that are present. The complex absorbs up to 400 times its weight in water and begins to floc due to the higher, less acidic pH in the small intestine. This flocculation further aids the binding process by trapping or encapsulating all of the bound lipids, including cholesterol.

As the pH continues to increase, chitosan floc forms an insoluble gel consisting of Chitosan, bile acids, bound lipids and cholesterol--none of which enter the blood stream. Not only is cholesterol uptake decreased, but it is believed that the continuous partial removal of bile acids from circulation by Chitosan triggers the body to produce replacement bile acid via the oxidation of already absorbed cholesterol. This produces an additional reduction in low density lipoprotein (LDL) levels.

For these reasons, Chitosan has earned the reputation as the premier lipid binder. Vanson® researchers have been able to manufacturer high density chitosan which has the ability to bind with almost three times as much lipid volume as compared to its predecessor, regular chitosan. This newer product is called LipoSan Ultra™ Chitosan HD.
 

LipoSan Ultra™ Chitosan HD is an ultra-dense form of Chitosan; the "HD" stands for "high density". According to research provided by the manufacturer, LipoSan Ultra™ brand Chitosan HD™ has the ability to absorb 3-5 times the lipids of regular Chitosan. And, it is soluble in only 3 to 5 minutes. This is the highest quality chitosan available.
 

Studies done on chitosan have shown that it may be helpful for people who are trying to control weight in a healthy, normal range, and who are looking for help with cholesterol.

Significant attention has been given to the role of Chitosan as a cholesterol- and lipid-binding agent. Chitosan is produced by the hydrolysis of chitin, a naturally occurring polysaccharide that is a major component of shellfish shell. This fat-binding, lipotropic, effect may be partially explained by both the positively charged sites along its polymeric structure and its flocculation and gelation properties in the gastrointestinal tract. Once gelled, Chitosan can encapsulate over four times its own weight of negatively charged lipids.
 

High Density Chitosan is more expensive. If a company is using it, they will brag about it. If they just say "Chitosan," it's not high density Chitosan HD™.

 

People need some fat in their diets, as we all need to ingest essential fatty acids, and the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K. For these reasons, we recommend against using these products before every meal, every day. Regular use of any product on this page should ideally be combined with a high-quality fatty acid product, and a multivitamin containing adequate amounts of fat soluble vitamins. Take these supplements at a different time from when you take Fat Absorber or Chitosan HD

How Can I Distinguish between High Density Chitosan and older Chitosan?

High Density Chitosan is more expensive. If a company is using it, they will brag about it. If they just say "Chitosan," it's not high density Chitosan HD™.

Important nutritional note for dieters

Weight loss occurs when a person burns more calories than s/he ingests. Therefore, eating less, eating right, and exercising are essential to your weight loss program. Easier said than done! Additionally, it is important to focus on fat loss as opposed to just weight loss, since nobody has a reason to want to lose lean muscle tissue. The products we offer can be a valuable aid in your effort, if used responsibly. Our customers who heed this advice invariable succeed and often report to us that our products were helpful to them. Remember, it is impossible to "lose weight overnight" in a healthy manner. Permanent, healthy weight loss takes time and dedication. Good luck, we know you can do it!

 

Anyone allergic to shellfish may be allergic to Chitosan HD™, as it is derived from shellfish. Remember that Vitamins A, D, E, and K are fat-soluble vitamins. So, you need some fat in order to get these vitamins. With this in mind, we recommend that you do not use Chitosan HD more than once a day, preferably prior to your heaviest meal, and consider taking a multivitamin. See the nutritional note.
