As a Weight Loss Aid Derived from Chitin, it is an all natural product found in the exoskeleton of shrimp and crabs. Chitin is attracted to lipids and has the significant ability to act as a sponge and bind with fat. Chitosan is one of the most successful weight management aids.

What is Chitosan?

A dietary fiber derived from chitin, a polysaccharide found in the outer shells (exoskeleton) of shellfish that is an effective weight loss and cholesterol-lowering aid. This insoluble, non-digestible fiber causes the molecular attraction and bonding of up to 12 times its weight in fatty oils- a process called polymerization. The gelled fat polymer is too large to be absorbed through the intestinal wall and travels through the body without being digested. According to clinical studies, weight loss averaged 8% of body weight over a 4-week test period.

Diet and Lifestyle for Healthy Weight Loss 

Dietary advice with regard to weight loss is plentiful; just go into your local bookstore.  The caloric theory states that: If you take in more calories than your body requires it will store them as fat, if you take in less calories than your body requires it will metabolize energy stores to make up the difference.  The key is to alter your caloric intake by only small amounts and increase your metabolism. Skipping meals or starving yourself actually slows the metabolism by telling the body that food is scarce.  Exercise is essential in order to stimulate the body to burn fat and build lean tissue.

Other theories believe that you can eat as much as you want as long as the food contains less fat and no simple sugars.  The diet should also contain vitamins and minerals that are necessary for fat burning such as vitamin B5, vitamin B6, vitamin E, lecithin and essential fatty acids.
