How Do Fat Blockers Work? 

A newer development that the appetite suppressant, the fat blocker is the diet industry’s reply to the troubles of Fenfluramine, Phentermine and other related supplements and medications that caused heart damage. 

The majority of fat blockers contain the substance Chitosan. Remarkably enough, Chitosan is derived from the skeleton of the shellfish and is similar in substance to fiber.  

The Methods of Fat Burners 

Fat blockers work in a binding fashion. The fat that moves into the digestive tract is captured and bound by the fat blocker preventing the fact from being absorbed. The bound matter is large enough that it can not move into the bloodstream and thus moves down the tract and eventually out of the body. At the heart of their effectiveness is the fact that the user does not have to alter the carbohydrate and fat content of the diet in order for these blockers to work.  

The fat blocker has the ability to absorb up to 10 times their weight in fat. After the fat is absorbed it is passed through with the digestion of other materials and then moves out of the body.
