MST® CHITOSAN 500 mg WITH CHROM: Weight Control, Appetite and Carbohydrate Metabolism Management

MST® CHITOSAN 500 mg WITH CHROM (Chitosan 500 mg and Chromium) is a highly effective dietary supplement designed to support weight loss programs and metabolism normalization. The complex contains Chitosan (a natural polysaccharide derived from the shells of crustaceans), known as a “fat blocker,” and Chromium in a highly bioavailable form. Chromium is a vital micronutrient that contributes to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels. Manufactured in Germany (MADE IN GERMANY). You can buy Chitosan and Chromium at the best price in Ukraine for appetite control and weight management.

A Deeper Look at Chitosan and Chromium

The effectiveness of this complex is based on the synergy of two key components:

• Chitosan: This is a natural dietary fiber that is not digested by the human body. Thanks to its unique chemical structure, Chitosan is able to bind fat molecules in the digestive tract before they are absorbed. It acts as a “fat magnet,” preventing the absorption of a significant portion of dietary fats and promoting their natural elimination from the body.
• Chromium: This essential micronutrient is a critically important cofactor for insulin action. It contributes to the maintenance of normal macronutrient metabolism (carbohydrates, fats, and proteins) and plays a key role in the regulation of blood glucose levels, helping to reduce sugar cravings.

The Advantage of the Synergistic Formula

The combination of Chitosan (500 mg per capsule) and Chromium (40 µg per capsule, 100% NRV*) provides a comprehensive approach to weight management. Chitosan helps control calorie intake by limiting fat absorption, while Chromium works at the metabolic level, stabilizing sugar levels and reducing feelings of hunger and appetite. This makes MST® CHITOSAN WITH CHROM an ideal supplement for those aiming to control their weight, especially with a high-calorie diet or when struggling with increased carbohydrate cravings.

Comprehensive Support for Metabolic Regimen

Regular inclusion of Chitosan and Chromium in the diet is an effective strategy for those following a calorie-controlled diet. Chromium contributes to the maintenance of normal macronutrient metabolism and helps support stable glucose levels. Chitosan, acting as a dietary fiber, can also promote normal intestinal function. This complex provides a dual mechanism of action: a physical barrier against fats and metabolic support for carbohydrate exchange.

📚 Research on the Effects of Chitosan and Chromium Ingredients

Scientific data supporting the key functions of Chitosan and Chromium

The effectiveness of both components is confirmed by numerous studies in the fields of dietetics and endocrinology.

1. Action of Chitosan (Reduced Fat Absorption):
   • Mechanism of Action: Chitosan is a polyamine that acquires a positive charge in the acidic environment of the stomach and is able to bind negatively charged fatty acids and cholesterol [1].
   • Fat Blocker: This bound complex becomes too large to be absorbed through the intestinal wall, so it is excreted from the body naturally, reducing the net absorption of dietary fats [1, 2].
   • Weight Control: Meta-analyses show that regular intake of chitosan combined with a low-calorie diet can contribute to greater body weight reduction and decreased LDL-cholesterol levels compared to placebo [2].
2. Action of Chromium (Glucose Metabolism and Appetite):
   • Glucose Regulation: Chromium is an integral component of the Glucose Tolerance Factor (GTF). It enhances insulin signaling, increasing cell sensitivity to insulin and promoting efficient glucose uptake [3].
   • Reduced Sugar Cravings: Maintaining stable blood sugar levels thanks to Chromium helps to mitigate sudden glucose fluctuations, which trigger hunger and strong cravings for carbohydrates and sweets [4].
   • Macronutrient Metabolism: Chromium is necessary for the normal metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, contributing to more efficient energy use in the body [3, 4].
3. Promotion of Peristalsis:
   • Being a form of fiber, Chitosan also contributes to increasing the volume of intestinal content and stimulates peristalsis, which can be beneficial for regular bowel movements [5].
