Chitosan
Chitosan is a biopolymer derived from chitin, a natural substance found in the shells of crustaceans like shrimp and crabs. It is renowned for its versatile properties, including biodegradability and biocompatibility. Due to its positive charge, chitosan is often utilized in various applications such as water treatment, wound healing, drug delivery, and dietary supplements. Its ability to interact with molecules and surfaces makes it valuable in industries ranging from pharmaceuticals to agriculture. Additionally, chitosan is commonly used in dietary supplements for its potential to aid in weight management by binding to dietary fats and potentially reducing their absorption in the digestive system.

| Formulation |
- Fiber extract
- Discussion: KAL Chitosan is fiber derived from the nondigestible, aminopolysaccaride chitin in shellfish. Deacetylation is the process of removing acetyl groups from chitin. This enhances the activity of chitosan, making it more soluble in the stomach. Studies indicate that a diet rich in fiber may help reduce the transit time of foods in the digestive system, so less dietary fat and cholesterol are available to the system.
