Description:
Chitosan is an all-natural product, which is derived from the polysaccharide chitin. Chitin is found in the exo-skeletons of shrimp, crabs and other shellfish. Chitosan is a naturally occurring substance that is chemically similar to cellulose which is a plant fiber. Like plant fibers, chitosan possesses many of the some properties as fiber, however unlike plant fiber, it has the ability to significantly bind fat, acting like a "fat sponge" in the digestive tract. Chitosan has the unique ability to attach itself to lipids or fats. There are no calories in chitosan since it is not digestible. Chitosan attaches to fat in the stomach before it is metabolised. The chitosan traps the fat and prevents its absorption in the digestive tract. The fat binds to the chitosan fibre and becomes a large mass, which the body cannot absorb. This large mass is then eliminated from the body. Neutralising fat after it enters the stomach spares the body from having to deal with the fat. Chitosan fibre differs from other fibres in that it possesses a positive ionic charge. This positive charge gives chitosan the ability to chemically bond with negatively charged lipids, fats and bile acids.
