Chitosan traps the fat and prevents its absorption in the digestive tract. Chitosan fiber binds to the fat and becomes a large mass which the body cannot absorb. This large mass is then eliminated from the body. Neutralizing fat after it enters the stomach spares the body from dealing with the fat.
Chitosan fiber differs from other fibers in that it possesses a positive charge.
Chitosan's positive charge gives it the ability to bond with negatively charged lipids, fats and bile acids. Chitosan has been used for over two decades without side effects. Other than its fat binding action, it remains virtually inactive in the body. Get your chitosan today.
