People are concerned about how they look and
are preoccupied with weight and weight loss.
Despite this concern, more people are
becoming overweight.
Chitosan stands out for its ability to bind
fat before it is absorbed into the body.
Chitosan is derived from the complex sugar
(polysaccharide) found in the shells
(exoskeletons) of shrimp, crabs and other
shellfish. Chitosan has the capacity to bind
lipids and fats. More importantly, chitosan
has no calories since it is not digested.
Upon oral ingestion, chitosan binds to the
intestinal lining where it tightly holds
dietary fats and lipids before they are
absorbed into the body. As a result, dietary
fat is prevented from entering the
bloodstream. When dietary fat is bound to
the chitosan, it should not be absorbed into the body.
Chitosan possesses
a net positive charge. This positive charge
attracts negative charges on the fats,
lipids and bile acids. Chitosan is not
metabolized; it is cleared from the body
along with the fat in the fecal material.
Chitosan is an indispensable
adjunct to a balanced weight management
program of diet and exercise.
