Chitosan is an all-natural marine fiber derived from shellfish. This unique formula combines chitosan with a proprietary blend of glucomannan, psyllium seed husks, fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and inulin. Fiber helps food pass through the intestines faster, serves as a bulk forming agent and encourages colon health by helping to speed food through the digestive system.* When consumed with food or liquid, it expands to give a sense of fullness and can help reduce the amount of food you eat.* Fiber also plays an important role in cleaning the digestive system.* In addition, FOS and unulin have been added to provide digestive support.* Add GNC Chitosan with Glucomannan to your daily nutritional program.

Comments about GNC Total Lean Chitosan with Glucomannan, Capsules, 120 ea:
I really like GNC products and I always read the directions, this one said it was a potential choking hazard and to drink with water. I put the pills in my mouth first then drank water and the pill capsules stuck to my throat and I almost choked but was able to get them down. I'm extra careful now to drink water first, with, and after I take the pills.
Comments about GNC Total Lean Chitosan with Glucomannan, Capsules, 120 ea:
I didn't notice the product taking affect at all. The directions on the bottle don't say how far in advance of meals to take it. I took 2 an hour before each meal and I didn't feel full on less. I feel like the fat absorbing capabilities did come into affect, but not enough to be noticeable. I wouldn't get this again.
Comments about GNC Total Lean Chitosan with Glucomannan, Capsules, 120 ea:
Chitosan (made from shellfish) absorbs 3.65g of fat per gram of Chitosan, when potentiated by Vitamin C (using 1g of C to 3g of Chitosan) only when taken 30 minutes before eating, with plenty of water (maybe 8oz per 1g of Chitosan, or more). When you decide on pizza or ice cream, check the food label and adjust your fat-grabber Chitosan according to your portion size! You can find it just a bit cheaper if you search, but you'll [...] take more pills (usually 1/2 g per pill); I buy this one! Take your medications and/or supplements when you're not taking Chitosan with the meal (I eat a good breakfast and lunch, so I can let go a bit for dinner). I eat less after Chitosan, and it stays with me so I don't snack before bedtime. Great stuff!
Comments about GNC Total Lean Chitosan with Glucomannan, Capsules, 120 ea:
I decided to find Chitosan because I read in a self help medical book that it asorbed part of the fat intake during a meal. Also helps you feel full more quickly. I just started using GNC Chitosan With Glucomannan Capsules. I don't know yet about how much fat is being absorbed by it but let me tell you. It really makes my stomach feel very full after only eating for a few minutes. So I am very pleased. Be sure to follow directions and don't use if your are allergic to shellfish. Thanks.
As a dietary supplement, take two capsules with at least 8 fl oz of water or other fluid daily. Taking this product without enough liquid may cause choking. See warning.
