Chitosan is a naturally occurring biopolymer derived from the exoskeletons of crustaceans and is commonly studied for its potential to bind fats and cholesterol in the gastrointestinal tract. Research has shown that chitosan may play a role in weight management and cholesterol regulation, although more studies are needed to establish its clinical efficacy. Chitosan’s primary mechanism of action is its ability to form a gel in the digestive tract, which can trap fat molecules and reduce their absorption.
This product is primarily used in studies on fat metabolism, cholesterol reduction, and weight management.
