Chitosan Chitosan is an all natural product which is derived from the polysaccharide chitin.
Chitin is found in the exo-skeletons of shrimp, crabs and other shellfish.
The Chitosan has the unique ability to attach itself to lipids or fats. There are no calories in Chitosan since it is not digestible. Chitosan attaches to fat in the stomach before it is metabolized. The Chitosan traps the fat and prevents its absorption in the digestive tract. The fat binds to the Chitosan fibre and becomes a large mass which the body cannot absorb.
