Puritan’s Pride Chitosan is a dietary supplement with chitosan (chitosan fibres) – a special kind of dietary fibre that blocks the fat absorption from food, consequently reducing caloric intake in diet.
Chitosan – a polysaccharide obtained from chitin; a natural substance comprised of chitin fibres extracted from shells of marine crustaceans. Chitosan is a kind of dietary fibre and an ingredient promoting weight loss by: supporting fat digestibility, reducing caloric intake and causing the feeling of fullness by filling the stomach.
This natural component consumed after a meal binds fat that reach the stomach with food and prevents its absorption via villi in the small intestine by binding with it in the proportion of 1 gram of chitosan to 4-10 grams of fat. Undigested molecules of fat bound by chitosan are naturally excreted by the organism, not posing any danger for health.
To sum up, Puritan’s Pride Chitosan is a preparation facilitating weight loss and burning fat by properties inhibiting the process of fat absorption and thus the amount of consumed calories. In addition, it reduces the amount of consumed foot (appetite) by filling the stomach and a strong feeling of fullness (it is important to drink then a lot of water).
The product is intended for overweight people, suffering from obesity, eating disorders and for every person wishing to have a shapely, aesthetically pleasing silhouette with a slight amount of body fat.

Chitosan is a polysaccharide obtained from crustaceans carapace chitin. It is classed as a dietary fibre. Reduces the digestibility of fat. Like other fibres, it fills the stomach and fives a feeling of satiety. The supplement is used in the slimming diets. Available as mono-preparations and multicomponent supplements containing fat-soluble vitamins (such as A, D, K).
Dosage: 500-1000 mg for approx. half an hour before the main meal, washed down with plenty of water.
Calcium (element chem. symbol Ca, atomic no. 20, the group of alkaline earth metals) is the basic building substance of bones and teeth, in which stored is 99% of the element, in the form of hydroxylapatite. When building bones and teeth, phosphorus is very important in the right proportion. It is a base-forming element and activator of many enzymes (ATPase) necessary to release the energy of ATP. It has a significant effect on blood clotting and regulates blood pressure and neuromuscular conductivity. Thanks to the reduced permeability of cell membranes, it soothes the symptoms of food allergies. Calcium is actively involved in the metabolism of iron interacts with vitamins A, C and D and phosphorus, magnesium. Natural source of calcium are animal products (dairy products, sardines, salmon, sprats eaten with bones) and plant products (nuts, soybeans, sunflower seeds). Absorption takes place in the small intestine (less in the colon), it has an effect on the level of lactose, insoluble fibre, organic acids, alkalinity (low pH). The best absorption have organic compounds (lactates, amino acid chelates etc.). Obstructing the absorption of calcium is caused by: phytic acid and oxalic acid as well as excess fat. Scientific studies have confirmed that the combination of calcium, magnesium, boron and vitamin D in dose 3 mg / 24h effectively prevent osteoporosis. Supplements on the market are both mono-preparation supplements (enriched with vitamin D3) and multi-component supplements, available at www.muscle-zone.pl.
Calcium deficiency disorders manifested in the construction of the bones (osteoporosis) and iron metabolism. The symptoms are: rickets, cramps and muscle tremor, osteoporosis.
Excess resulting from an overdose of calcium supplements containing vitamin D3 for children and adults overdose of calcium (hypercalcemia). Symptoms of hypercalcemia are: lack of appetite, vomiting and constipation.
The dosage administered in various publications are inconsistent: 800 - 1000 mg / 24 h (100 - 500 mg / 24h)
Phosphorus (chemical element of nitrogen family, occurring in several colours: white [poisonous], red, purple and black). It is a micro element involved in the physiological responses of the organism. It is a factor of the proper structure of bones and teeth, storing approx. 85% of the element in the form of hydroxyapatite. Adjusts the acidity in the body by increasing the pH. It is a component of nucleic acids. It also affects the proper functioning of the kidneys and the heart and nerves (transfer pulse). A natural source of obtaining of phosphorus are both plant (eggs, seeds, nuts, whole grains) and animal origin products (poultry, different types of meat, fish). Phosphorus deficiency and strengthen the bone structure can be adjusted by the use of appropriate nutrients and supplements.
Phosphorus deficiency causes bone disease (rickets) and phlegmon.
Excess of phosphorus (although it is excreted through the kidneys) can cause an imbalance of minerals (especially lower calcium levels, up to total loss). Particular caution in consuming products and specifics containing phosphorus is recommended to people suffering from chronic kidney disorders and the elderly. Excess of potassium should be balanced with the increased intake of calcium.
Dosage: 800-1200 mg per day. The higher limit of dosage should be consumed by pregnant women and nursing mothers.
