High tech Primex chitosan: the best of Iceland

Primex is the Icelandic marine biotech company making diverse and useful products from the fertile Icelandic seas.

Chitosan is an impressive product made of crustacean shells – and Primex chitosan is some of the purest available.

Primex chitosan comes from Icelandic prawns sustainably fished under Iceland’s strict quota system. The North Atlantic Coldwater Shrimp is considered one of the most ideal species for the creation of chitosan.

Chitosan is used in a wide variety of ways including cosmetics, nutritional supplements, wound healing, food production and for biomedical purposes.

ChitoClear – “the Purest Chitosan” id the brand under which Primex markets its chitosan – and its lofty claim has been repeatedly vindicated in independent lab trials.

Primex is also the company behind a chitosan based product called LipoSan Ultra. LipoSan Ultra is a unique and proprietary dietary fibre formulation, proven to significantly reduce body weight in human clinical studies.

The product is so effective and fast acting that it can actually be taken at the same time as meals and still have an effect, whereas those using regular chitosan as a weight loss supplement have to take the product at least 30 to 60 minutes before eating, and still get inferior results.

As a dietary supplement, what sets LipoSan Ultra apart from basic pure chitosan is just the addition of succinic acid. By adding one simple GRAS food additive, the pure natural chitosan becomes an incredibly effective weight control tool.

Primex is a truly international company with global distributors and nearly all of its business conducted abroad – but it is still fortunate to be based on the idyllic shores of Iceland’s sparsely populated North Fjords. Just a stone’s throw from where the prawn fishing boats dock.
