Chitosan is a fiber (amino-polysaccharide) derived from the shells of crustaceans. Thanks to its structure and the "amino" group that forms it, in an acidic environment like the stomach, it is capable of absorbing ingested fat. The fat it captures also becomes unabsorbable, so its caloric value is zero, with the fats being eliminated along with the fiber. Chitosan is able to absorb 4 or 5 times its own weight in fat, a action that is enhanced with the incorporation of vitamin C. Green tea contains about 27% catechins, polyphenols, and antioxidants, among others. It decreases cholesterol levels and improves lipid metabolism, promotes blood circulation and diuresis. This plant also has thermogenic properties due to its content of xanthine bases (theophylline, theobromine, etc), making it a good ally in fat burning diets. Tea contains antioxidants, such as vitamin C, that help combat and prevent free radicals that destroy cells and tissues. It improves digestion by increasing the flow of gastric juices; this is why this tea is consumed in China during meals. Usage: It is recommended to take with a glass of water, before meals. Warnings: Excessive consumption of Chitosan can cause intestinal discomfort. Avoid consumption with medications. Ingredients: Chitosan (410 mg), Green Tea Extract (37 mg), Vitamin C (20 mg).
