Chitosan
Chitosan is made from chitin, found in the hard shells of shrimp, lobster and crabs, and it's the main ingredient in supplements that claim to "trap" fat and keep it from being digested. Chitosan is a very simple substance which has been around for ages. Chitosan is a 100 percent natural and acts as a super fiber.
Chitosan is able to significantly bind with fat molecules and convert them into a form which the human body does not absorb. Do they work in humans? Chitosan may bind with some fat because it is high in fiber, but studies continue to determine precise weightloss benefit in humans.
Caution: If you took too much Chitosan, it might interfere with fat-soluble vitamins like D and E.
Overall conclusion on the weightloss product claims from experts are yet to be determined. Supplementing the diet with chitosan is thought to be part of creating a cleansing process which is said to be extremely vital to weight loss.
Other benefits which chitosan claims to have include inhibitinting LDL cholesterol and boosting HDL cholesterol, promoting the healing of ulcers and lesions, helping to control blood pressure, reducing blood levels of uric acid, helping prevent constipation, acting as an antacid, preventing irritable bowel syndrome, enhancing calcium to strengthen bones, inhibiting plaque/tooth decay, and offering anti-tumor action.
