Description
Thompson's Fat Blocker is a hard capsule combining poliglusam (chitosan), a fibre derived from marine crustacean shells, with vitamin C. Chitosan is used to help decrease dietary fat absorption in the digestive system by binding fatty acids and bile acids in the intestines, while vitamin C acts as an antioxidant to help reduce free radical damage to body cells. This pack is the 120 capsule bottle.

- 455 mg of poliglusam (chitosan) per capsule.
- 45 mg of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) per capsule as an antioxidant.
