Chitosan: excellent supplementation to control your weight

For the supply with high-quality fibres (chitosan) in the context of a figure-conscious nutrition.

What is chitosan?

Chitosan is a cellulose-like polymer, which is able to bind fats. It is obtained from chitin, a polysaccharide occurring in mushrooms or molluscs, for example.

Chitosan binds dietary fats

The amino group of chitosan forms an indigestible compound with fat from foods, which is excreted through the intestines undigested. Chitosan is able to bind fat up to ten times its own weight. It reduces the energy taken in by the body by decreasing the resorption of fat.

Chitosan supports the digestion

Chitosan is an indigestible fibre, which passes through the intestines practically unchanged. Fibre increase the volume of the food, which leads to a faster feeling of satiety in the stomach and stimulates the intestinal peristalsis (movement of the intestines), which shortens the resting time in the bowel.

Chitosan and heavy metals

Another interesting ability of chitosan is binding heavy metals such as mercury from amalgam fillings, so that they can be excreted.

Chitosan and cholesterol

A daily intake of 3g chitosan is able to contribute to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels. The reason for this is the binding of cholesterol from food in the intestines, which is excreted afterwards.
As a fibre, chitosan is also able to contribute to a normal cholesterol level.
