BulkSupplements.com Chitosan Powder - Chitosan 1000mg Supplements - Food Grade & Gluten Free, 1g per Serving, 100g (3.5 oz) (Pack of 1)

Using this as a add on to our regular feedings for our plants.

Let's be honest: you don't buy this for the mouth-feel! It has hardly any flavor (good), but the fine powder makes it worse than the Cinnamon Challenge if you don't mix it first! It will work well in smoothies, but not so well in just water (I have read it prefers acid solutions, but that still might take time). I mix it with oatmilk and that seems to do the trick. A couple notes for those not in the know: chitin is in shellfish (shrimp, crab, etc) and get processed to become chitosan, so this product is not vegan, kosher, or halal.

Have used capsuled Chitosan for years. I know it does not taste well, mix well; but it works great for undigested fat absorption...among other things. Saving a few $'s here and there is what counts, on products I believe in that still have the quality. Mixing the powdered Chitosan with something else, like applesauce is more palatable. Just a spoonful of applesauce to get it down the hatch. I think it works great. And I won't have to worry about death by capsules. (Just a little humor). The product understandably, could be a fly away powder if you are not careful, and the zip closure is certainly secure if you have a spoon to press it closed for those with weak finger pressure. Otherwise go for it.

Hands down the best product I have ordered all year. My cat turns 19 in a month, and recently his kidneys began to fail. On the recommendation of a friend who spend thousands of dollars on his cat at the vet, this is what the vet recommended to improve blood values. It's working. He went from imaciated, weak, drinking water ever few minutes and peeing just as much, to gaining weight, getting his strength back, his fur looks healthy, and he can jump on the couch all by himself again. He acts 4 years younger. I will keep using this product as long as I can. He is the sweetest, most considerate cat I have ever met, and this is his karma.

It’s not as soluble as your average ag chitosan, but it’s still a good seed treatment, seedling fertilizer, and foliar spray. It’s also way easier to find in reasonable/affordable quantities than ag chitosan, and considering the amount of Chitosan you need per gallon this is going to last forever. Use it on your tomato transplants for a bigger root ball, and mixed with Captan to as a bean seed treatment.

I'll let you in on my little secret and tell you that if you take a mix of chitosan and ascorbic acid (a volumetric ratio of 3:2, chitosan over vitamin C) in capsules, that your body will be able to digest 5 times the vitamin C without getting diarrhea and gas. Each cap will have 1/3 gram of vitamin C. Take 350 mg/per kilogram of body weight each day (divided into six doses, every 3-4 hours) and you will get the resultant effect from the huge vitamin C intake!🤗

I had suffered acid on the stomach for 20 years. and finally there was an answer. To me this is like a miracle and I needed this so badly. Basically I take 2 table spoon on the empty stomach and eat something sweet to get it down. This really grabs the nasty acid on the stomach and your nerve starts to feel calm down. I take at least 3 table spoon per day. and I have been healed so much ever since. I laugh about the pill because it is normally a half gram or a gram size. I take quite alot and I lost so much weight and my skin glows. I thank you crabs. And thanks to bulksupplements too. I don't have any fish after taste or smell like someone else said on other product. If you want to be strong and healthy I would take this.. Not just lose weight. This is an under valued supplement. I would like to add how I take it. I get a spoon in the mouth and drink water and wash down. I tried with Kombucha once they stuck to my mouth all bitter and extremely sticky. So ever since then I only use water and I try to be quick. once you taste it it tastes really bitter.

I purchased this supplement to help improve kidney function. I have not had a chance to analyze that purpose yet. The product itself appears to be of good quality. I put about a half teaspoon in some juice and stirred it to mix. I found it does not mix well with cold juice. The product remained gritty - often lumping together. It stuck to the sides of the cup. When I drank it, I had to constantly mix with the spoon and I felt the grit as I swallowed. It was difficult to get it all down since there was some on the sides of the cup. I tried to scrape the sides of the cup with the spoon to gather as much as I could. I didn't want to waste any of it. Overall, that method didn't work well. My next method was to try to mix it into yogurt - which I felt would work better. However, before I tried that, I decided to do more research online about Chitosan and kidney function. I found a lot of support regarding the benefits. However, I also came across a few studies that had me concerned. One such study was done in 2014 and firmly demonstrated that chitosan supplementation greatly increased oxalate crystal formation in the urine. I found several sources that referred to that study. Since I also produce calcium-oxalate kidney stones and have had several lithotripsy (shockwave) surgeries to break up stones, this was a deal-breaker for me. I just cannot use a supplement that increases kidney stone risk. Although the studies only indicated a much higher level of oxalate crystals - not necessarily stones, I just cannot take that risk. So, unfortunately, I had to stop using this product. Those of you who have diminished kidney function may benefit from this product, but if you're also susceptible to kidney stones, I would probably be wary of using this supplement.
