Nature’s Sunshine  Fat Grabbers is a fibre supplement containing psyllium hulls, chickweed herb, lecithin, and guar gum. It effectively limits the amount of fat in one’s diet, making it easier to achieve weight management goals.

It works by utilizing specific fibers to trap, or "grab," fat molecules. Fat is subsequently unavailable for digestion and is eliminated through the intestinal system. 

Research conducted in our laboratories has verified many other in vitro experiments performed at independent laboratories that lecithin saponins emulsify fat in aqueous media. The logical extension of this observation to the small intestines is assumed through scientific precedent. The fat-binding properties of fiber from guar gum and psyllium hulls interfere with the absorption of the emulsified fat from the small intestine. The bound fat molecules are then eliminated.

Unlike some other types of fiber, guar gum does not affect mineral absorption. However, this fiber does slow down sugar absorption, which helps to maintain blood sugar levels already within the normal range. It also swells with fluid intake, promoting a feeling of satiety. 

Fat Grabbers contains emulsifiers and fibres which help control the intake of fats in the system where they are usually stored in fat cells  before the body can use them as a source of energy.

 Benefits of Nature’s Sunshine  Fat Grabbers:

• Helps decrease the body's absorption of fat.
• Helps maintain cholesterol levels that are already within the normal range

Noteworthy:

1. Increases the intake of water-soluble dietary fibre.
2. Guar gum and psyllium hulls are both water-soluble fibres (WSDF). Studies have shown WSDF adsorbs free fat and other unwanted materials in the intestinal tract. The fibres with the unwanted materials adsorbed onto them are then eliminated through normal  digestion and elimination processes.
3. These same studies have shown that the adsorption and elimination of excess dietary fat can lead to lower cholesterol levels in the blood.
4. Chickweed and lecithin act as natural emulsifiers, which help to keep dietary fats in solution so they can be more easily adsorbed and eliminated.
5. Fat Grabbers may relieve some symptoms normally experienced by individuals who have difficulty digesting dietary fats.
