Marnys Chitomar is a dietary supplement for those who want to promote blood lipid control and monitor their body weight. Chitosan is a natural polysaccharide derived from the partial deacetylation of chitin (sourced from crustaceans), allowing solubility even in acidic-aqueous solutions (such as the intestinal environment). The chitosan in the MARNYS® Chitomar formulation is 90% deacetylated, giving it high solubility in acidic-aqueous solutions and facilitating absorption within the gastrointestinal tract. Directions for use: Take 1 capsule 3 times daily, preferably before main meals. Allergen: Contains chitosan, a crustacean-based ingredient.
