Chitosan, from
chitin, is a Dietary Supplement. Chitin is a long-chain polymer of a
N-acetylglucosamine, a derivative of glucose.
Chitosan, a fiber
derived from chitin in shell-fish, is a nondigestible
aminopolysaccharide. Chitosan is synthesized by removing acetyl groups
from chitin, through a process called deacetylation. This process
enhances the activity of chitosan by improving its solubility in the
acidic environment of the stomach.
This product is being promoted for weight losss although there is little research to back the claims.
You may be interested in a highly effective and very popular all natural diet pill product called Diet Rx
which works extremely well as an appetite suppressant. Diet Rx does not
have chitosan. It is formulated by world renowned nutrition expert Dr. Ray Sahelian, M.D.
