chitosan and ALA

[XzRzX]

would it be okay to stack chitosan along with ALA ? im planning to take 4g of chitosan with 2g of vitamin C along with 600mg ALA 30 minutes before carbd meals. im taking the chitosan/vit. C combo in order to minimize fat absorption.

is it also true that chitosan also absorbs protein ?

I do this from time to time and always get the stinky ALA piss afterwards. This tells me that the ALA is being absorbed to some degree and not blocked by the chito/vit C.

I would up the chito to 6 grams 2 grams Vit C and as much ALA (500mg for every 50grams of carbs) as your budget can handle.

Monitor your progress and report back the results.

Heres some notes

Chitosan capsules through an ebay auction 360 caps - 500mg - $15. with free shipping when you buy three containers.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1727732309 Company is out of Arizona and chitosan appears to be private label, the company sent email saying they would honor $15 price on future purchases.

Chitosan Versus Xenical
Is chitosan just another scam, or does it really block a significant amount of fat like Xenical? And if chitosan is a scam, why does Roche have a patent on it? http://www.drumlib.com/dp/000023.htm


Chitosan Weight Loss Experiment Update

Let's say I took 6 grams of chitosan (plus 2 grams of vitamin C) before breakfast, a protein shake for lunch, and 9 grams of chitosan (plus 3 grams of vitamin C) before dinner because I was on the run and grabbed pizza or something. That comes to a total of 15 grams of chitosan for the day. When you look at the numbers, the amazing results that I obtained start to make sense.

Fat Blocked
15 g chitosan multiplied by 3.4 = 51 grams of fat blocked.
51 x 9 (kcal per gram of fat) = 459 kcal deficit.

Protein/Carbohydrate Blocked
15 g chitosan multiplied by 2.9 = 43.5 grams of carbs/protein blocked.
43.5 x 4 (kcal per gram of carb/protein) = 174 kcal deficit.

Appetite Suppression
(Estimated at 500 kcal per day)

Total
459 + 174 + 500 = 1133 kcal deficit per day.

Drumlib's chito article states that besides fat, the chito had trapped other nutrients, the scientists did not make distinction between carbs or protein in the trials. but since it can be only one and or the other, Caloric value can be determined due to both protein and carbs being equal 4 kcals per gram.

the articles are unabashed in stating chitosan along with ephedrine dosing are a panacia to dieters.

interesting stuff

PS. I sent correspondence to drumlib asking him to look into combining ala into the mix to help insure nutrients absorbed (ones that got past chito) are shuttled to muscle cells over fat cells - he responded that he would check into this.
