Life Extension Chitosan 500mg 180 Caps - Free Shipping
Chitosan can absorb as much as seven to eight times its weight of fat and bile in the digestive tract.
Fat Binder (Chitosan)
Chitosan is a fiber composed of chitin, which is a component of the shell of shellfish. Scientists in Norway have processed chitin to provide a magnetic binding affinity for fat and cholesterol in the digestive tract. Chitosan can absorb as much as seven to eight times its weight of fat and bile in the digestive tract. The fat and cholesterol are then excreted through the bowel, thereby improving bowel function.
Clinical studies with chitosan have shown that in five weeks, total cholesterol was reduced by 32%, HDL increased by 7.5% and triglycerides lowered by 18%.
Because of chitosan's ability to bind fat, chitosan is an excellent aid in weight loss. The lowering of the body's absorption of fat calories provides a calorie restriction effect which could actually extend human life span if results of animal studies are an indicator.
Suggested Use: Two to three capsules of Chitosan can be taken before each meal. Start with one capsule with each meal to allow the body to adjust to a higher level of fiber.
Chitin, Chitosan and Weight
Tanaka Y Tanioka S Tanaka M Tanigawa T Kitamura Y Minami S, Okamoto Y Miyashita M Nanno M Biomaterials (1997 Apr) 18(8):591-5
Chitin and chitosan were administered orally and parenterally into mice and their toxicity was investigated. When 5 mg of chitin were injected intraperitoneally every 2 weeks over a 12-week period, the mice were apparently normal, but histologically, many macrophages with hyperplasia were observed in the mesenterium and foreign-body giant-cell-type polykaryocytes were observed in the spleen.
The polykaryocytes were also observed in the spleen of the mice injected subcutaneously with 5 mg of chitin, but no other changes were observed. When 5 mg of chitosan were injected intraperitoneally, the body weights of the mice decreased significantly and inactivity was observed in the fifth week. Subcutaneous injection of 5 mg of chitosan did not evoke the general and cellular abnormalities.
Oral administration of 5% chitosan via a casein diet caused mouse body weights to decrease and also decreased the number of Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus in normal flora of the intestinal tract.
These results indicate that special care should be taken in the clinical use of chitin and chitosan over a long time period.
We recommend using Chitosan with Ascorbyl Palmitate, fat soluble vitamin C. This form of vitamin C absorbs fat too, and creates the ideal acidity for the chitosan's fat-binding activity
