Overview:
Chitosan
is a naturally occurring substance that is chemically similar to
the plant fiber called cellulose. Research has shown that a diet
rich in fiber can help reduce the transit time of foods in the
digestive system, so less dietary fat and cholesterol are
available to the system. Unlike plant fiber, however,
Chitosan is
"magnetically" attracted to lipids and has the ability to
significantly bind fat, acting like a "sponge" in the digestive
tract.
Chitosan is not digestible;
therefore it has no caloric value! No matter how much
Chitosan you ingest, its
calorie count remains at zero.
Chitosan affects fat in the stomach before it has a
chance to become metabolized. It dissolves in the stomach and
converts to a gel which "traps" fat, thereby preventing its
absorption and subsequent storage.
Chitosan powder renders the fat useless to the body.
Both the Chitosan and
the fat are excreted in the stool. |
