What is Chitosan?

Chitosan is a molecule that comes from chitin, the fiber shell of shellfish, insects, spiders and mushrooms. Abandoned since a long time, chitin was a real interest in the 70-ties. In order to valorize the abundant waste of the marine food industry, the Japanese government has started researches for creating a new very promising material. Obtained through a simple procedure, chitosan differs from the chitin only by a few changes of the molecule structure. However, this transformation confers the precious and remarkable proprieties. A particular sign? Following the given structures, chitosan can be used as a real “fat trap”, as a natural disinfectant or for healing! It became the number one of these natural sliming products.

Why take Chitosan?

Captures, absorbs and eliminates shortenings
About twenty studies have been done within different countries who certify the efficiency of chitosan. While chitin dissolves itself difficultly within the gastric acid, chitosan forms a non digestive amorphous gel. Within the stomach it envelops practically all ingested fat. Through this, it can “fixe” about 15-20 times its own weight in lipids. Fat, so trapped, will not be absorbed within the organism. Chitosan limits hereby the fat provision while supporting their elimination by natural way. Hereby freed preventively from all fat excess, the body uses then the fat left in stock! Each chitosan capsule (500 mg) can trap up to 10 grams of excessive fat, reducing significantly the gain of calories. However, in order for chitosan to form the gel envelope within the stomach and attract the fat, it must be taken at least 30 minutes before each meal!

Stops the growth of noxious bacteria
Non toxic, chitosan slows down the growth of numerous parasites and bacteria. It takes effect within the bacterial wall, while fragilizing it until provoked rupture. Chitosan seems hereby to have strong antibacterial and antifungicide proprieties. It heals also varicose ulcer and atonic wounds.

Cosmetology application …
Within cosmetology, its excellent tolerance, perfect innocuousness and action on the cell regeneration makes this an ideal active for moisturizing products. Chitosan has a comparable activity to the activity of hyaluronic acid including through its long-term action and film-forming proprieties. It has also remarkable healing proprieties.

…within Medicine
Perfectly biocompatible, chitosan is used within the making of “the artificial skin” for treating 3rd degree burns victims. This skin is at the same time airtight, moisturizing, healing and bacteriostatic. It diminishes after a certain time. Chitosan goes against the formation of cavities and dental plaque, stomatitis and gingivitis. Its use is indicated for periodontology.

A sophisticate system of medication deliverance
Non-digested by the stomach, chitosan is, for example, a good retardant within the deliverance of encapsulated products having to arrive un-transformed within the intestine. It is also strongly studied as a controlled medication liberation system by ocular and nasal way.
