| Detailed Product Description: |
Chitosan is a dietary fiber derived from chitin. Chitin is an aminopolysaccharide (combination of sugar and protein) that comes from the shells of shellfish. Chitin used to be nothing more than a waste product of the shellfish industry, but a bit of chemical treatment and - Voila - a new fiber is born. Chitosan is typically found in dietary supplements for reducing cholesterol levels and promoting weight loss.
Action:
1. The majority of research on chitosan has been done in animals ? where it has been shown to effectively bind to fats in the digestive tract and prevent their absorption.
2. As a supplement to promote a mild reduction in fat absorption and serum levels of LDL cholesterol, chitosan appears to be effective. As a weight loss agent, however, chitosan only appears to offer benefits when used in conjunction with a low-fat, reduced calorie diet. As such, chitosan supplements should not be expected to deliver significant weight loss effects unless significant dietary alterations are followed. |
