Title:It works!

Date:November 30, 2011

"This stuff does what it says. I actually did a little test in a glass with vegetable oil. The capsules break open and ABSORB THE OIL! Imagine that working in your belly after eating an indulgent meal! This is not a diet pill-but it definitely can help you manage your weight. I reorder this often."

Title:So far, no results

Date:November 23, 2011

"After checking out all the reviews on this product I was curious and ordered. It's been almost one week taking it and I am not loosing weight, at all, somedays I gain a few more pounds!
I changed my diet, really watching my sugar/carb intake, including more fiber, fruits and veggies.
And I try to eliminate processed foods and white flour/sugar. Next step after I get rid of my fatigue and get some energy back I want to get back into regularly exercising.
I might as well keep trying the product though. I find it inconvenient because I take fish oils and vitamin D and have to plan 4 hours in advance or after in taking them."

It seems to me that it works very well, I noticed that when I take it I don't gain as much weight as I would WITHOUT it! And value is super, very good price and great quality."

Date:September 28, 2011

"This chitosan seems to have full bio-availability and works the way it's supposed to. I have tried other brands that don't break down well and are more expensive. This is a good addition for someone learning to eat clean or just wants to eat something that may contain a bit too mush fat."

Title:Absolutely Great Product..!!!

Date:February 8, 2010

"I've been using this product for a few years. I try to eat healthy, but have those times when I just eat whatever I want. When this happens, I take one capsule, and I honestly do not gain weight from the fatty foods I consumed. I always keep a few of the capsules in my purse, and in my desk at work. I never take it in the morning, just once in a while at lunch, and mostly in the evening. This works for me because I try to eat healthy most of the time, and I get some exercise too. This product helps me during those times when I eat poorly."

Swanson's LipoSan ULTRA Chitosan has results but without the oily stool, etc. Time will tell about weight loss/stored fat. Perhaps I'll give another review in a few more months or so."
