Benefits

Though most of us do our best to eat the healthiest diet possible, oftentimes—such as when we’re visiting friends or dining out at restaurants—we find ourselves in a situation where there’s just too much fat in the meal. That’s where the triple-nutrient ChitoLean (pronounced: CHIT-uh-lean) formula is ready to go to work.

Chitosan (pronounced: CHIT-uh-san) is an indigestible fiber, meaning it traverses the GI tract without being absorbed. En route, chitosan—with a powerful assist from vitamin C—effectively binds fat and blocks its absorption. N-acetyl-l-carnitine (aka “acetyl l-carnitine”) accompanies the formula to ensure effective fat oxidation (“burning”).

ChitoLean FAQs

Are your supplements 3rd party tested?

Yes, every Hammer Nutrition supplement is 3rd party tested in compliance with the FDA’s regulations, 21 CFR Part 111 – Dietary Supplements. All the raw materials for each supplement we produce are tested for purity, strength, identity, and integrity. In addition to raw material testing, every Hammer Nutrition supplement is also tested in every stage of production—blending, encapsulation / powder-filling, packaging components and finished goods—before being released for distribution.

Is it okay to use Phytolean and ChitoLean together?

Q: Is it okay to use Phytolean and ChitoLean together, and when can both be used?

A: Yes, both products may be taken together. Here’s when!

Though Phytolean does affect some areas of fat metabolism, its primary method of action is as a starch blocker. ChitoLean, on the other hand, does little-to-nothing with carbohydrates (starch or otherwise), but instead is a very effective fat blocker.

Like Phytolean, ChitoLean is not necessarily a daily use supplement. Instead, you should reserve ChitoLean use for when you’re consuming a meal that contains a lot of not-so-great fats (think: a big Italian meal with lots of fat-loaded cream sauces and butter, or a meal that includes a fat-loaded cheeseburger).

You could also use Phytolean in tandem with ChitoLean. The same “big Italian meal” applies, only now we’re taking into account all of that pasta and bread. The “fat-loaded cheeseburger” meal also applies when we take into account an order of starchy French fries and the cheeseburger bun.

BOTTOM LINE: When you have a high-starch and high-fat meal in front of you, definitely use both Phytolean and ChitoLean!

Special Notes on ChitoLean:

1) If you’re using ChitoLean, you will want to take all medications and healthy fats 4+ hours before or after taking ChitoLean. This is because the positive charge carried by the chitosan molecule causes it to bind to negatively charged substrates such as fat… and that includes ALL fat, including the healthy fats found in foods such as avocados, and nuts and seeds, as well as healthy oils such as virgin olive oil, flaxseed oil, or the omega-3 fatty acids found in EndurOmega, our fish oil supplement.

The absorption of all fat-soluble nutrients—including vitamins A, D, E, K, and other fat-soluble nutrients such as Coenzyme Q10 (Race Caps Supreme) and everything that’s in AO Booster—will also bind to chitosan, which means that they won’t be absorbed. That’s NOT what you want!

2) Because chitosan is a fiber, you should consume 8+ ounces of water when you take your ChitoLean and start your meal. That will help make the product work even better and prevent your body from having to pull fluid away from other areas of the body to help with the digestion of the chitosan.

How to Use

INGREDIENT BREAKDOWN

Chitosan (pronounced CHIT-uh-san) is a fiber composed of chitin, which is a component of the shell of shellfish. The strong positive charge carried by the chitosan molecule causes it to bind negatively charged substrates such as fat. Chitosan effectively binds fat in the intestine, blocking absorption, and it has also been shown to lower blood cholesterol in animals and humans. As a result, dietary supplementation with chitosan may not only assist with weight loss and normalization of cholesterol levels, it may also help inhibit the formation of atherosclerotic plaque (deposit of fat and other substances that accumulate in the lining of the artery wall).

Strictly regarding weight loss, one study involved 150 overweight men and women. One group was given 3 grams of chitosan daily, while the other was given a placebo. Both groups were provided with the same self-monitored behavior-modification program. After 60 days, the chitosan group lost an average of 2.8 pounds, while the placebo group lost 0.6 pounds. The chitosan group also had greater reductions in fat percentage and fat mass than the placebo group, along with an improvement in body composition.

N-Acetyl-L-Carnitine is an amino acid and, like all forms of l-carnitine, it is THE nutrient that transports fatty acids into cells for the production of energy. Without adequate supplies of l-carnitine, fatty acids cannot be effectively burned as a fuel source. Exercise depletes carnitine levels, as does the aging process.

Vitamin C helps activate chitosan in the stomach and intestine into a fat-absorbing gel, increasing the fat-binding effects of chitosan. Research on pigs using either chitosan, or a chitosan/vitamin C combination concludes, “Vitamin C increased the fecal fat excretion by chitosan in guinea-pigs, thereby reducing body weight gain.”
