What is Chitoglucan?
If you’re one of the thousands of people who have tried Chitosan in the past without success, you are probably leery of any ingredient containing “Chito” in its title.
Fortunately Chitoglucan is quite different from the shellfish derivative Chitosan, which proved only moderately successful in binding fat and removing it from the human body.
Chitoglucan is a bioactive element of the edible enokitake mushroom. It is made up of is vegetal chitosan and ƒÀ-glucan (beta-glucan and fatty acid complex.)
And according to several clinical trials, Chitoglucan has quite successfully aided test subjects in losing pounds and inches. All without any of the negative shellfish reactions users have experienced with the Chitosan of old.
And the fun part? As well as consuming in pill form, Chitoglucan can be added to your foods— as it tastes–just like mushrooms!
How Does Chitoglucan Work?
ChitoGlucan’s anti-obesity power can be attributed to two natural components vegetal chitosan and fatty acid complex.
Vegetal chitosan inhibits the absorption of fat in the digestive tract. This helps with weight loss by reducing excessive caloric intake. However, this only prevents new fat from being stored, but does not affect mature fat.
Fatty acid complex is thought to “decompose” (or breakdown) mature body fat, and contribute to increased metabolism—and metabolism’s role in weight loss.
Chitoglucan Benefits
• Chitoglucan was found in clinical studies to be far more effective than Chitosan for binding and blocking fat absorption
• Requires a far lower dosage than Chitosan—only 300 mg per day versus Chitosan’s 3,000 mg per day
• In one test study subjects using Chitoglucan decreased waist circumference, visceral (stomach) fat and overall BMI significantly over an 8-week period
• LDL and total cholesterol decreased as well, showing that Chitoglucan is excellent for heart health
• Completely safe for users with shellfish allergies
Chitoglucan Conclusion
Chitoglucan is an ingredient anyone wishing to reduce body fat and improve overall health should be using. In addition to its tremendous fat-binding and blocking abilities, Chitoglucan may help burn fat, control blood glucose levels (which may decrease appetite and cravings for sugary snacks), support strong immunity and keep the intestine working healthily.
