Chitosan is a substance that comes from chitin, a polysaccharide found in the exoskeletons of crustaceans. It is processed by removing the shells from the shellfish like lobster, shrimp and crab. Chitosan is known in the science world as the “fat magnet” because of the fact that it is a fat inhibitor, useful for those who want to lose body fat.
To better understand the nature of chitosan, it is best to know the functions of this non-digestive fiber. According to some studies, chitosan absorbs and binds fat in the digestive tract, preventing the absorption of this fat into the body. In this way, chitosan is said to inhibit LDL (bad) cholesterol and boost HDL (good) cholesterol. Additionally, it promotes healing of ulcers and lesions.
Chitosan is also viewed as having antibacterial properties. It even acts as an antacid and inhibits the formation of plaque or tooth decay. Several studies also found out that chitosan helps to control blood pressure, helps to prevent constipation, reduces blood levels of uric acid, and is a calcium enhancer or bone strengthener.
Chitosan has a history of about three decades of use in processes like detoxifying water. Studies on what is chitosan have revealed that when it is spread over the surface of water, it literally absorbs oils, greases, heavy metals and other potentially toxic substances. It is dubbed “fat magnet” perhaps for the reason that just like a fat magnet, chitosan attracts the bio-hazardous substances in the body from drinking water ti such extent that a scum forms in the water, which can easily be removed. Further studies on what is chitosan also revealed what does this indicate to the scientists is that this polymer compound can selectively absorb fats even in water medium.
Chromium is an essential trace mineral that helps the body maintain normal blood sugar levels. In addition to its well-studied effects in diabetes, chromium may also lower blood cholesterol levels while increasing HDL (the “good” cholesterol). Preliminary research in animals and humans suggests that chromium picolinate increases fat loss and lean muscle tissue gain.
Chitosan is derived from Shellfish.
