Chitosan Guide

Chitosan is a naturally occurring fat inhibitor. Fiber from the sea.

What is chitosan?

Chitosan is a naturally occurring fat inhibitor. It is a natural product derived from chitin, a polysaccharide found in the exoskeleton of shellfish like shrimp or crabs. It is chemically similar to cellulose, which is a plant fiber.

It has the potential to revolutionize the process of losing weight and by so doing, reduce the incidence of some of the most devastating diseases we face today.

Chitosan attracts fat and converts it to a form the human body does not absorb and is remarkable in that it has the ability to absorb 6 to 8 times its weight in fat and oils.

In addition, because it acts like a super Fiber, supplementing the diet with Chitosan can be considered part of the cleansing process so vital to weight loss. If these two attributes weren't good enough, Chitosan possess many other valuable properties that work to promote health and prevent disease.

How does chitosan work?

Chitosan affects fat in the stomach before it has a chance to become metabolized.

It dissolves within the stomach itself and converts into a gel which "captures" fat, thereby

preventing its absorption and subsequent storage. Chitosan renders the fat useless to the body.

Both the Chitosan and the unmetabolized fat are excreted in the stool.

Simply stated, Chitosan:

• binds excess fat molecules and fatty acids.

• binds dietary cholesterol

• reduces the absorption of all of the above

• can function as a non-digestible dietary fiber

• correlates with improved cardiovascular health
