    Customer Questions & Answers

    • Question: Can these capsules be opened & put in water or juice?

      Answer: I asked the company and says they do not suggest opening the capsule as the chitosan could irritate the throat.
    • Question: Is there rice flour in this?

      Answer: No. It contains chromium, chitosan, cellulose, stearic acid and silica. Also contains shellfish (shrimp).
    • Question: Other chitosan supplement labels say to drink water with it. Does these capsules have to be drank with water also since it is shellfish fiber?

      Answer: I have just gone over the entire label. I see no mention of water at all. I open the capsule for my small dog and mix the powder with pumpkin and/or yogurt. Since the Chitosan acts as a thickener I do add a little water just to make mixing it easier to assure it's a smooth mix while he is dancing around at my feet waiting to lap it up.
    • Question: Where is it made ? Country of Origin ?

      Answer: Bloomingdale IL USA
    • Question: The product is called “chitosan 500mg with chromium, 240 capsules”. the label shown to the left says 1,500 mg “liposan ultra chitosan”. which is it?

      Answer: The serving size is 3 capsules. Each capsule contains 500mg of chitosan.
    • Question: What is the product expiration date?

      Answer: All that I have gotten has always been far enough out that the capsules were long gone before the expiration date. I use them for my two dogs, one each everyday making 2 a day come out of the bottle.
    • Question: description says it works if taken as directed however it does not say what the direction is... When/how should it be taken?

      Answer: I give it once a day with a meal.
    • Question: Is this form Chitosan Oligosaccharide?

      Answer: i do not see the word oligosaccharide any where on the package.
    • Question: Does this get rid of cellulite on legs?

      Answer: I mean I honestly couldn't tell you THAT but I DID notice that I was losing fat, whether it was just fat from my bloodstream or actually attacking fat from my body, I'm not sure. I think if I could have afforded to keep taking them non stop all this time, they might've made a substantial difference in my weight loss journey. Unfortunately, supplements etc. were the first thing to go when I was scaling back what I could and could not afford :(

    NOW Supplements, Chitosan 500 mg plus Chromium, Weight Management, 120 Veg Capsules reviews by customers

    April 8, 2023
    Not causing constipation/bloating
    I am taking these to see if they will lower my creatinine levels. I have CKD stage 3b so... Pros: --The ingredients list doesn't include the added calcium & phosphorous - 2 minerals I need to avoid or limit with CKD. Most of the other brands showed having as much as 200mg of calcium & 150+ of phosphorus. -- After taking up to 4 capsules a day for the past 4 days, I am not experiencing constipation or bloating mentioned by some other reviewers. The supplement actually seems to be regulating my body. --Though the capsules are standard size, they go down pretty easily with a lot of water before and after. Cons: -- At $0.12/count these are slightly pricier than other brands. There are even brands cheaper with double the dosage. --There is the slightest taste of fishy-ness if the caps linger in your mouth. There is no after taste though. Overall, I am not sure if this will lower my creatinine and that is the goal. I will give it 4 stars for not causing bloating & then do an update if needed.

    Works for my dog
    I was instructed to buy this by my vet for my dog after her prescription medications weren't controlling her triglycerides well enough anymore. Her blood work showed it is working!

    Don’t know yet
    I don’t know if they work for weight loss yet. I just started using them. I do feel full and satiated after taking them so far but it’s only been two days.
