Chitosan is an amazing fat absorbing dietary fiber. It's an all natural
product derived from the shells of shrimp, crabs and other shellfish.
It has the unique ability to attach itself to fats in the stomach
before they have metabolized, trapping the fat thereby preventing their
absorption into the digestive tract.
Rather than being absorbed, the
fat is eliminated from the body.
Neutralizing fat spares the body form having
to deal with the fat. Studies have shown that chitosan helped reduce
the bad cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood while increasing the
good HDL cholesterol.
This dietary fiber is a valuable addition to a
properly balanced weight management program. It provides
important cleansing attributes, which aid in the digestive process and
promote digestive tract health.
It strengthens the liver, lowers blood sugar, very useful in preventing and treating arthritis, back pain, lumbago, osteoporosis, fracture or other bone problems. Chitosan has been used for over two
decades without side effects. However, persons who are allergic to or
have experienced allergic reactions to shellfish should not take Chitosan.
