leaderboard Score 72.0
A larger, better-value blend of Chitosan and bioavailable chromium for weight management and metabolism.
Quantity: 120
This product features Chitosan for fat binding and Chromium Nicotinate Glycinate, a highly bioavailable chelated form, for metabolic support. The Chitosan is intended to aid 'Weight Loss' by reducing dietary fat absorption, while the 300 mcg of chromium helps optimize glucose metabolism, thereby contributing to a 'Metabolism Boost.' The larger quantity and lower price per serving make it a better value than the 40-serving version (ID 108187). Its benefits are primarily focused on these two goals, with limited direct contribution to heart health, energy, or anti-inflammatory support.
- Contains a well-absorbed form of chromium (Nicotinate Glycinate).
- Higher quantity and better price per serving than similar product ID 108187.
- Offers a dual-action approach for weight management.
- The effectiveness of Chitosan for significant weight loss is still debated and often modest.
- Limited in scope for broader health goals beyond metabolism and weight.
- Chitosan can potentially reduce the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and certain medications; professional consultation is advised.
- Individuals with shellfish allergies should exercise caution or avoid this product.
