Chitosan

Chitosan is an aminopolysaccharide biopolymer, or in other words, a fiber that is found naturally in the exoskeleton of crustaceans (shrimp, lobsters, crabs...), in some green algae such as Chlorella, in insects, and in some mushrooms and yeasts. 

Chitosan therapeutic use:

• It has no effect on the fat stored in our body, nor on carbohydrates (sugars) or proteins.
• It will help in weight loss diets, as it will reduce the intake of fat into our body. 
• It also helps regulate cholesterol. 
• It also helps control Candida Albicans in our intestine.
