Chitosan

What is Chitosan?

Chitosan offers a range of benefits. It is a natural fibre derived from chitin, a substance found in the shells of crustaceans such as shrimp, crabs and lobsters.

It is used as a food supplement for its distinctive properties in the context of weight management and the binding of certain compounds within the digestive tract.

An ally for weight management

Chitosan is a valuable supplement to support your weight-management goals thanks to the specific fibres it contains. Once ingested, chitosan acts as a fat binder: it binds to dietary fats in the intestine and forms a non-absorbable complex that is then eliminated naturally by the body.

In this way it can help support fat reduction by reducing the amount of calories absorbed while maintaining an adequate nutrient intake.

Heavy metals and cholesterol

In addition to binding fats in the intestine, chitosan also forms a gel that can bind dietary cholesterol and certain heavy metals.

It thereby helps limit their absorption and supports their natural elimination.

The combination of Chitosan and Chlorella is particularly effective for supporting the body's natural elimination of heavy metals.

Supports transit and digestion

Taking Chitosan can help support intestinal transit and digestion thanks to the properties described above. The gel formed by Chitosan helps limit the absorption of many unwanted compounds.

It also acts as a regulator, helping to reduce bloating and support a healthy gut flora.
