Chitosan, a fiber derived from chitin in
shellfish, is classified as a nondigestible aminopolysaccharide. Chitosan
is synthesized by removing acetyl groups from chitin, through a process
called deacetylation. Although the mechanism by which chitosan works is
still being researched, animal studies have shown that chitosan binds with
bile salts in the digestive tract, reduces the absorption of certain
dietary fats (like cholesterol and oleic acid), and plays a role in
maintaining healthy serum cholesterol levels in laboratory animals.
(Results of animal studies may not extrapolate to humans.) When taken as
part of the Maximum Metabolism Weight Loss Plan? body fat may be reduced.
