The system consists of "Fat Trapper," a chitosan-based product purported to prevent the absorption of dietary fat; and "Exercise In A Bottle," a pyruvate product that supposedly increases the body's capacity to burn fat.
Far from being a fat trapper, at 0.11 ± 0.18 g of fat trapped per 0.45-g capsule or 1.1 g (9.9 kcal) fat trapped per day, this product would have no significant effect on energy balance.
Chitin, or chitosan (advertised as a "fat trapper" or "fat blocker"), is made from the shells of insects and shellfish and may lower cholesterol, but it also does not lower body fat levels.
