I bought Garden Greens brand "Fiber Gummies" which gives 5 grams of fiber per serving. I've been taking them with meals. Should I switch to Chitosan? Or does it basically provide the same benefits?

Thanks for your reply! I think I'll get Chitosan. I wonder if I can take Chitosan AND Fiber? Or is that a recipe for disaster?? :)

Either is fine as long as it's not vitamin fortified - some brands are.

Just to clarify, it's because fiber absorbs fat and fat soluble nutrients that your body then makes into testosterone. :) any fiber is good, but we've had pretty good luck with that Chitosan.

So is Chitosan with calcium no good then? I've seen some in our local shop and thought I'd ask before buying. Also, how essential is it when I'm keeping my fat between 25g-30g a day and my bmi is 20.6? :)
