Fat Binder Max

NFS Fat Binder Max uses the main ingredient of Squid Pen 'Chitosan'. Chitosan is a fiber composed of chitin, which is a derivative taken from the Squid Pen. Chitosan can absorb as much as seven to eight times its weight of fat and bile in the digestive tract.

Since cholesterol is normally secreted with the bile and reabsorbed in the intestine, fibers like chitosan can help remove cholesterol from inside the body. The fat and cholesterol, once absorbed by the chitosan, are then excreted through the bowel, thereby improving bowel function and reducing cholesterol levels in the body.

By adding Vitamin C, one can enhance the absorption of lipids. Increased appetite suppression is also obtained by the addition of Vitamin C, which appears to boost the swelling action of chitosan. Chromium picolinate has been added for its ability to level out insulin, maintain muscle mass and facilitate fat metabolism.

One of the first studies to show a direct correlation between lowering of serum cholesterol with chitosan-suggesting that the agent could be used to inhibit the development of atherosclerosis in individuals with hypercholesterolemia-appeared in the June 1998 issue of Atherosclerosis Journal. Researchers at the Department of Medicine, University of Auckland, New Zealand, found that animals fed for 20 weeks on a diet containing 5% chitosan or on a control diet attained blood cholesterol levels significantly lower in the chitosan-fed animals throughout the study and at 20 weeks were 64% below that of control animals. That's right, 64%!

Additionally, when the area of aortic plaque in the two groups of animals were compared, a highly significant inhibition of plaque deposits was observed in the chitosan-fed animals-42% and 50%, compared to 42% in the control animals.

Earlier in the August-October 1994 issue of the journal ARM Medicina, Helsinki, clinical studies with chitosan demonstrated that in 5 weeks total cholesterol (LDL) was reduced by 32%, HDL increased by 7.5%, and triglycerides were lowered by 18%.

Another study done almost 20 years ago in the April 1980 Journal of American Clinical Nutrition reported a 25 to 30% reduction in cholesterol over a several-month period, initially documenting chitosan's potential cholesterol-lowering effectiveness.

Because of chitosan's ability to bind fat, chitosan is also an excellent aid in weight loss as well as normalisation of cholesterol levels in the body.
