Does High-fiber foods Affect Chitosan?

Amount or timing may matter

The short answer

Both chitosan and fiber bind fats and nutrients. Combining them with a high-fiber meal may cause excessive nutrient malabsorption.

How to arrange timing

Separate chitosan from high-fiber meals by at least 2 hours to avoid compounded malabsorption.
