Chitosan is made from the ground outer shells of shrimps or crabs. It is not digestible, so it has no calories. In Chinese history Chitosan has been widely used for Atherosclerosis. It may lower Blood Pressure in Hyper-tension patients by reducing the absorption of Chloride.

Chitosan may lower total serum Cholesterol levels by inhibiting HMG-CoA Reductase, an Enzyme that contributes to the endogenous production of Cholesterol.

In cases of obesity it may inhibit the further digestion of dietary fats from the digestive tract by binding to fatty acids, thereby facilitating their excretion.

Within the Intestines, Chitosan forms a gel that binds to approximately 5 times its own weight of dietary fats. Once the dietary fats are bound to Chitosan, they become unavailable for further metabolism by the body and are eliminated via the faeces. Chitosan absorbs dietary fats approximately 44% more effectively than other dietary fibres such as Guar Gum.

Chitosan decreases the absorption of dietary fats by up to 26% in the small intestine. Internal cleanser should be taken at least one hour after any other medication as it may reduce the effect of other medication and nutrients.
